A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

January 6th participant: You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again.
