US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Yep. Perpetuated by every kind of specialty psycho.

FOLLOWING THE NEWS OF YET ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, A CITY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICES, NBA PLAYERS CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE IN MINNESOTA PROTESTING AND RISKING THEIR LIVES TO DEMAND JUSTICE. THE FRATERNITY OF NBA PLAYERS, LIKE THE UNITED STATES ITSELF, IS A COMMUNITY ENRICHED BY ITS GLOBAL CITIZENS, AND WE REFUSE TO LET THE FLAMES OF DIVISION THREATEN THE CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT ARE MEANT TO PROTECT US ALL. THE NBPA AND ITS MEMBERS EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES OF ALEX PRETTI AND RENEE GOOD, JUST AS OUR THOUGHTS REMAIN FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NBPA

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:

“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Cool. Looking forward to his ten-figure gift to the ACLU.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.

This should be the loud and clear position of the Democrats.

Wow! Amazing. Can't wait for the review! Congratulations.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Congratulations and thank you, Rep. Underwood!

Make it viral.

This is so disappointing. You and that team have done incredible work. Thank you for the respect you have shown to young readers.

I wonder if you have any idea how often your name (and your work) is mentioned in classes and gatherings at Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver. What you share and teach echoes.

Well put. I wish the same and worse.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Beautiful. It can be so hard to overcome the intertia of depression. I'm glad you were so richly rewarded.

He writes beautifully and I learned a lot from this short letter. Congratulations to him, and to you.

Many, many seniors in the crowd in Denver today. Saw many simple, powerful signs like this one.

But what if I am old

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C.

The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.

I wish! It was for Westword, the alt weekly I used to work for. Recording long gone.

I got to interview HER once and she was so kind and gracious. I had found an old story she wrote for her high school newspaper and she was intrigued; wrote me after to say what a good interview it was. And so I died happy.

The United States is torturing immigrants. Do you care?

Because if you're American, this is being done in your name.

I'm a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter of immigrants. What if they did this to my family? What if they did it to yours?

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary “officer friendlies” doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?
