ICE is killing, lying, and covering for itself.
We must abolish ICE—and we need to make sure that no federal officer can ever kill and hide behind a would-be badge, a mask, or a lawless President and DHS Secretary ever again. That's why I introduced the Deadly Force Independent Review Act.

THIS is exactly why international fascists & enemies of democracy want to open up European media for corporate or billionaire takeover - the VERY factors that destroyed media in the US, in Russia, in Hungary & so many other dictatorships.
I worry “pro-business” EU messaging can be CODE for this.

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
