This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

The agent said that??
"When they told the agents they were US citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.”
Another said, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said..."

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much?
FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
