This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him
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.

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

"There is no conceivable reason to support discrimination against transgender individuals other than to show one can target any community, as long as it doesn't have a strong political voice or political power. These are the actions of bullies and cowards, pretending to be strong."

Reactionary movements don't actually have anything against rapists, it's self-consistent for them to defend the rapist if he's from the in-group.
In a right wing framework rape is only bad if it's done by someone lower in the hierarchy
