Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

β€œMost beautiful urban marathon”? It’s that kind of divisive rhetoric that will everyone to make their cities more beautiful.

Not really. I mean citizens of these areas which were made up of native people as well as descendants of settlers from Spain, etc. Mexicans living there would not all be native people.

Even without FN ancestry, for the large part of the southwestern US many Mexican American families have connections to those places that pre-date that land becoming part of the U.S. (yet another reason racial profiling is nonsensical).

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than β€œOur Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day Kavanaugh said that immigration agents β€œpromptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you

That is not, in fact, what ICE does

He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine
