This guy has been an illusive pain in the butt to capture. Likes to stay well confined within the bushes and is very skittish, finally caught an acceptable pic today. Pyrrhuloxia, Tucson AZ.

Remember, you have president George W. Bush to thank for ICE. The shit Republicans did after 9/11 is why Americans are getting shot with impunity by federal gestapo fucks in the streets.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Not one of these clowns was in danger. Giving guns to racist crackheads with a chip on their shoulder, who would have thought it would end in murder?
NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed
