Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later.

ICE can hold you indefinitely, no guarantee of legal representation or a speedy trial. They do not even have to tell anyone where they're keeping you.

You may never get a CHANCE to prove you're a citizen.

Anyway this is why people have called to abolish ICE since it started.
