Hey Team #Greensboro, ICE has been reported in the city but locations are spotty and I don't have Facebook, so if you do, please check. Looks like they might be setting up shop in town.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

I went to Broadview ICE facility again today. They blocked off 25th, a lot of sheriffs police, local cops& Illinois state police. Around noon, riot police w/ weapons, helmets, zip ties came out. All in black & I cannot figure out what this patch says. The word on the bottom is police. Anybody know?

A patch that says police on the bottom and has a figure with a lance on a white horse above the word police. There are words above the horse image, but I do not know what they are.
