We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

In US media, you cannot live in a city of virtually any size and also be considered one of Godâs chosen people. Only the country folk are untouched by sin and doubt. Only people of the âheartlandâ are afforded ignorance as a virtue. Everyone else is an elitist who looks down on âreal Americans.â

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

The 7 Democrats who voted for this, KNOWING ICE would get worse, should have no future in Democratic politics. Thereâs plenty of blame to go around. But these 7 had the power to at least try to stop it, and they did the opposite. They funded it.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop.

I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
