Among the litany of travesties regarding this court.
Remember:
Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

UK Armed Forces Undersecretary Alistair Carns on Trump’s statement that they stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan: “I served 5 tours alongside Americans. We shed blood, sweat and tears together. There’s only one thing worse than working with allies - and that is working without them.”

Dear mom,
It’s cold and wet on the western front. My issued socks are soaked all the time. I’ve run out of hand warmers.
On a brighter note, we caught an ICE agent trying to sneak out of Minnesota. He looked quite relieved as he surrendered.
Spirits brightened considerably.
Love, Clare

This sudden flip to ‘we’re just here to find the sex offenders’ is gaslighting at the highest level, and that’s before we even get to the fact that, if that were their goal, they never needed to leave the White House in the first place.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

They’re not the only ones with databases.
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Silence is a slow poison for progress. Your voice is the most potent weapon against injustice. Don't wait for a hero. BE the echo that demands equity and the shout that shatters indifference. Speak up. Stand firm.

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.
