Armenian Worker in Van Nuys Responds to Dr. Oz: I’ve been an American citizen for 26 years. We are hardworking. I’ve worked here almost 20 years. We are in the United States. It doesn’t matter if you are Mexican, Armenian, Russian—we are all American.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.
Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.
Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale.
These are mostly children.
This is where Liam Ramos is being held.
They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.
These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!
“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

A pediatrician who attempted to save the life of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection agents, has alleged that agents denied Pretti medical care for several minutes after the shooting took place, then appeared to count his wounds rather than administer CPR.
Doctor Who Tried to Help Pretti Says Feds Counted Wounds Instead of Doing CPR
“There was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers,” the witness stated.

New today:
1) Body-cam video from agent(s) exists.
2) The agents involved in the Pretti killing were part of Bortac, a special tactical unit. Bortac was the first Border Patrol unit to be issued body-cams when they were first rolled out.

I don’t think we are angry enough that these ICE thugs were just harassing random women in the street. It is their right to be there. ICE is just going around breaking car windows for no reason. They’re the criminals. They belong in jail. Trump promised women we’d feel safe—such a lie.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.
