Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Seems fairly typical of a Reform politician. Grifting twat who was sacked for fiddling his tax flounces off to Nigel because he didn't get Lordship.

Meanwhile criticises the way the Tories ran the country, forgetting he was one of their fucking ministers and supported Truss' budget.
Ffs. These people are without shame. All grunting around in the trough demanding peerages and then sulking off to Reform: home from home for corrupt Tory millionaires who’ve already had one long go at screwing us over and think they deserve another shot.
They can all go to hell.
❤️‍🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.

The next step is CPB/ICE agents firing into a crowd because one "saw a gun" that's actually a phone or a sandwich. I feel like we are precariously close to a full-on massacre.

Nice respectful law enforcement.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

Trump vetos a unanimous, bipartisan bill to provide clean water in rural Colorado which would create jobs. Is this retaliation that the governor refuses to pardon Tina Peters convicted of election tampering or bc it’s in Lauren Boebert’s district and she voted to release the Epstein files?

Cordary Inc., a Los Angeles-based real estate firm owned by Stephen Miller's family, received at least one PPP loan for up to $1 million in April 2020.

These loans were not required to be paid back.

A PPP loan can normally be traced back to every motherfucker who bitches about this.

Every. One.🖕🖕

He's right, and this is the most urgent issue facing all western countries - it is inequality that is driving the affordability crisis, which in turn is driving people towards the snake-oil salesmen and nativists such as Trump, Farage and Le Pen.

Just surprised Romney agreed with this.
Me and my old rival Mitt Romney finally agree on something — it's time to close the loophole that lets the ultra-wealthy use death to cheat taxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3tyoOaGFRE

Criminal behaviour. Why aren't ICE and Border Patrol being sued for kidnapping in cases like this? Some sort of class action or whatever?
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
