ICE is out of control. They are the source of the violence and can never be its remedy. In the short term, the only answer is for them to cease operations in Minnesota and leave. Immediately.
In the slightly longer term, ICE must be dismantled and abolished. They cannot be reformed.

Getting really sick of seeing privileged white liberals say things that are completely detached from the lived reality of the vast majority of people in the US. "Law and order" IS racism and violence. The abuses you're seeing now are a natural extension of what was already happening.

President Trump is once again threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, this time in Minneapolis. That would be a flagrant and particularly dangerous abuse of the Act—one that would threaten the rule of law and public safety alike. 1/13

ICE escalated the protest in North Minneapolis last night. After their messy traffic stop came to its conclusion, they could have left the scene. They have no authority or mandate to respond to street protests. The only reason there was a protest was bc ICE was there and we're sick of their shit.

It seems painfully obvious that the ICESTAPO are the ones that are instigating the violence.
Yet the democratic "leaders?" are not out screaming this narrative. WHY?
instead all the reporting is what the lying regime is spouting.

Do you know who also gave away his Nobel Prize? Knut Hamsen.
Not familiar with the name? Perhaps you'll recognise better who he gave it to.
Dr Joseph Goebbels, in 1934.
That ended well.
