ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.
Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

"Defending migrants' rights is a third rail, don't go there" was bad political advice in 2024. In 2026, it's full-on malpractice.
