🧵Four armed, large ICE officers arrest a diminutive brown teen in Minnesota because he won't produce his 'papers'. If the ICE funding allocated in the Republican Big Ugly Bill goes through, this scene will be exponentiated across the country.
ICE is a rogue, unaccountable, paramilitary force.

NYT also reporting: "Two of the gunshot wounds were not immediately life-threatening, the autopsy found." It appears to be bullet that appeared to go through the left-side window that was.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

This might be a bit out of my line but imo this SCOTUS really does sign off on indefinite detention for people who can't be deported, we can and should finally call these sites what they have always been in spirit: concentration camps.

His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. If you pay taxes in the US, you paid 4 ICE officers to hold him down while a 5th choked him to death. This murder is more likely to be justified as a natural consequence of being a "criminal alien" than to be prosecuted.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

You know what law was intended to prevent state legal regimes from racially profiling families and abducting children who might be caught without a parent? The Civil Rights Act of 1866. You know, the law to dismantle the Black Codes.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

the local DA should indict it. if they cannot serve the warrant because ICE has more men with guns, they should say so.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I trust folks on the ground and this also seems evident from afar as they escalate on all fronts. The discipline people in MN are demonstrating by not reacting violently to ICE is incredible.
They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.
