Wake up to the daily Constitutional violations engaged in by ICE, CBP, & other DHS-empowered secret police. Even non-interfering observers are illegally detained against #1A. Speak out; patrol; contact your electeds; engage local mayors & police. #StopICE #ChicagoStrong #NOLAStrong #MPSStrong

Removing identifiable items...?

THIS. MUST. STOP.

I don't know what we must do to wake up Americans who aren't paying attention.

ICE cut off her wedding ring.
Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. Just in case you thought you’d be safe.
She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.
Seconds later, they threw her to the ground, handcuffed her, and hauled her away. She spent five hours in leg shackles at a federal building. Agents cut off her wedding ring and threatened to pepper-spray her in the truck. Her husband spent all day trying to find where they’d taken her. Federal officials wouldn’t tell him.
Her "crime" was simply standing on a public street, watching, and asking questions.
Read that again: here in Minnesota, a U.S. citizen was arrested, restrained, and disappeared for hours, not for interfering, not for resisting, but for asking a question.
If they can arrest Sue Tincher for standing on a public sidewalk, they can arrest anyone.
Immigration attorneys said they’re seeing constitutional violations every single day now. I’m running because we need leaders who will call this what it is- un-American, unconstitutional, and unacceptable.
Sue Tincher stood up.
I’m standing up.
We must all stand up.

Heads up New Orleans

"The deployment, which is expected to begin in earnest on Dec 1, marks the latest escalation in a series of rapid-fire immigration crackdowns unfolding nationwide.. as the Trump administration moves aggressively to fulfill the president’s campaign promise of mass deportations."

DHS plans to deploy 250 border agents to Louisiana in major immigration sweep, AP sources say

Federal agents are set to conduct a major immigration crackdown called “Swamp Sweep” in New Orleans in the coming weeks.

It doesn't feel like 20 years have passed since Hurricane Katrina. One of the worst experiences of my life was watching the community I knew and loved get smashed apart by storm surges and swept away in flood waters. I don't wish that pain on anyone.
