the second you establish that ICE can murder citizens on camera with no consequences, you guarantee (1) more murders and, eventually (2) retaliatory violence.

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

new race to see which state will be the first to charge federal agents with murder or attempted murder of their residents. Solidarity works better when all try it rather than none.

KATU reporting says that Portland Police responded to a report about the shooting and found the two victims. Which suggests the CBP agent who fired was not still on scene, either bc he fled or bc the victims somehow got away while injured.

Police and federal agents have ignored court orders and instigated violence to legitimize arrests. As one Chicago district court judge noted in Nov., while people are continuing to protest, there is nonetheless a broader chilling effect on activism seeking to hold the administration accountable.

Govt behavior violates protesters’ basic 1st Amendment rights & rights of reporters to cover events as they unfold. As these violent crackdowns occur, Trump’s lies and exaggerations about protesters have emboldened police to crack down on dissent & cover up their own escalating violence with lies.

I have been bereft about Renee Good's murder by ICE, far outside the bounds of the law. I have no comforting words. Things are very bad. And two people have been shot in Portland today -- by border agents. A thread on Trump supercharging the militarized police state & why resistance is essential:

Perhaps if he hadn't smashed out the window of the guy's car, he wouldn't have put himself (his arm) in that situation.
The ICE officer, now identified as Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in her SUV, had been seriously injured in June when he hooked his arm into the car window of an alleged fugitive who sped off and dragged him down the street.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Abolish ICE, regardless of its popularity. Fucking ghouls
The latest from YouGov (n ~ 2.7k). A majority of Americans say ICE tactics are "too forceful." Only 27 percent say they are appropriate as-is.
ICE approval: -13
Approval of recent protests against ICE: +2
