ICE also shot a woman here in Chicago, whom they made similar claims against. She didn't die, despite being shot multiple times, and the charges against her were eventually dropped, because the stories they tell to justify their violence are always bullshit and never hold up under scrutiny.

My Pluribus take is that, yes she’s made some missteps, but Carol is essentially correct. That’s not controversial is it?

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.
