I mean, this is one of those good news/bad news kind of things. The good news is the identities are known and now it looks like it is very likely that there will be justice for Alex Pretti because these clowns are about to find out how quickly their "loyalty" is rewarded.

Dear White People,
WTF are you doing? I saw someone saying this was just a "normal family friendly protest" and I hate to break it to you, there is no such thing as a "normal family friendly protest". You see how violent ICE is being towards EVERYONE & you intentionally put your kids in harms way?

another thing I feel like people need to learn is to "separate the art from the artist", because i feel like people tend to just avoid consuming certain media altogether just because they dont like the author even if they enjoy it, watching certain shows or playing certain games doesn't mean you—
everyome there focuses so much on all the bad things some people did and refuse to even consider the fact that they can learn and grow from their mistakes, they want to find reasons to be miserable apparently

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
