Someone knows who this man is and where he spends his time. He should be identified. And he should not feel comfortable showing his face in public after this.
This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.
It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.
An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/
