People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.

At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

These goons are despicable. They shot off part of a womanβs hand with less than legal ammo. I guess they didnβt get the memo of the demotion and expected retirement of Bovino. The violence we are seeing in MN isnβt lessening.

Red: Alex Pretti's gun was always holstered until removed by an ICE agent.
Blue: Alex Pretti's hands were never close to his gun.
Orange: The ICE agent's gun was not fired until Alex Pretti was disarmed.
Conclusion: This was an execution by ICE of an unarmed man.

Jury Acquits Chicago Resident of Murder-for-Hire Plot on Border Patrol Commander
The defendant, Juan Espinoza Martinez, was detained by immigration agents after being found not guilty and faces deportation.
"[N]ot guilty."
"Federal prosecutors alleged Espinoza Martinez had put out a $10,000 hit on Customs and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino."
"Espinoza Martinez is not yet a free man." ICE "took him into custody following trial."

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.
I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call βsymbolic compliance.β
Thatβs when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Second, based on recent events in Minneapolis, Minnesota, involving the
execution of two U.S. citizens who were engaged in similar peaceful protests as Ms.
Martinez at the time of their killings, Ms. Martinez believes certain information
disclosed in her case, and currently subject to the Protective Order, would be useful
for both the public and elected officials to know regarding how DHS responds in cases
where their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens
I want to go back to Marimar Martinez' request to lift protective order in her case. She was shot by CBP in October. As w/Good & Pretti, they lied to cover up shooting.
As a threshold issue, Bovino was just 1-degree of separation from all 3 shootings.
