ICE sprays large canister of pepper spray directly into family car—hitting 1 year old baby.
"They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said man who took video.
"ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside—where their baby and 16 year old sister sat."

This isn’t law enforcement doing its job. It’s the escalation of a culture of fear that punishes anyone who dares to document it.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

"Reform of ICE can start with firing every one of the unqualified thugs hired between 2025 and 2028; if you joined during the Trump administration and consider yourself a solid civil servant, you’d be welcome to reapply. And wearing masks should be barred."

This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
