Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

It's 4 years ago today that my mom died in the Rosedale Hospice modeling her profession. There's lots that has happened to me that she would have liked to hear about. She would have hated to see much of NA politics and the UCP's treatment of Alberta healthcare. I miss you mom, while life's gone on.
