So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

1. This is torture. 2. The US is a signatory to the United Nations Convention Against Torture (UNCAT), which went into force in 1994. The US is now violating a treaty it ratified. 3. No wonder the Trump regime did not want Abrego Garcia back in the US where he could testify to their crimes.
