Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said βdo something b*tchβ and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled βf*cking bitchβ.
They hate women & it shows.

Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree.
"I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says.
A Dem House should be for defunding.

I'd expect this from Paulina Luna. Why is Rep. Garcia supporting this blatant intimidation of a journalist?
A ridiculous subpoena that never should have been issued, clearly meant to chill the speech of a journalist, who merely posted already public info.
