Here is a thread of ICE incidents that show the American people what they are actually doing!

Keep documenting and tell the media!

Call your reps and senators!

Call DHS, FBI, DOJ and tell them what you think about this violence and cruelty!

They all work for us, the American people!

Get loud!

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

A 15-year-old girl was assaulted while alerting her community about ICE raids. The Department of Homeland Security denies any involvement, ICE misrepresents the footage, and then continuously alters its narrative.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.
