Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Look at photos of US troops in Fallujah. (eg here:
www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
) They're armed like these ICE agents in Chicago. But none of them are wearing the cowardly face masks of today's ICE thugs. Like the one throwing a young, female Congressional candidate to the ground.
