The FBI not knowing where Wisconsin is, apparently?

One of the "overt acts" of the conspiracy was Don Lemon and Georgia Fort interviewing the pastor of the church:

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

I've said this before, but as bad as things are, this is the sort of thing that most journalists I know got into the business to cover. I am not surprised that we are seeing them rise to the occasion.
