Sending all of my love to the people of Minneapolis and the folks defending their neighbors there. This is heinous, and I am so sorry.

This is what happens when untrained ICE agents who meet the lowest possible standards are sent to play action hero.
A U.S. citizen was shot & killed by ICE in Minneapolis.
π Eyewitnesses, including a city councilman, say police shot the person in the head. That person is now dead.

Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"
Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
