Ice agents fire into a car while mother screams her kids are in the car. Where is this, North Korea? #ice https://substack.com/@reallyamerican/note/c-171846478?r=8nybc&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

Really American (@reallyamerican)

Horrific: ICE Agents fire into a vehicle's windshield with children in it, and a terrified mother screams her kids are inside as she is dragged from her car and cuffed. This is outrageous. Share widely.

I don’t condone violence, butIn defending the second amendment, Charlie Kirk said gun deaths were inevitable. I guess he didn't’ think that he would become a statistic in those deaths. #CharlieKirk #RIP #Sad.
