Minneapolis Shootings: multiple ICE agents have been involved in shootings. An investigation into shootings between 2015 and 2021 found that zero resulted in criminal indictments for ICE agents.

Just Elon Musk perpetuating the lie about Hitler being a socialist. Surprised he doesn't realise that Hitler just included the word in the party name to do exactly what I do - fool the plebs into thinking you give a shit about them.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Text messages and a moved SUV: How the government’s case against a Chicago woman shot by a Border Patrol agent fell apart | CNN A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.

They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.

They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.

He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

It took the coldblooded murder of two white people for western leaders to talk about consequences for the Trump administration.

38 deaths in ICE custody?

117 deaths in boat attacks?

Traumatized children?

Uncountable separations of families?

Not enough.
