Renée Nicole Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September.

There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.”

Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:
Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet
The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

Legal experts smacked down Stephen Miller’s ominous message to ICE agents that they enjoy “federal immunity” and argued that he might have just opened himself up to impeachment proceedings.

And who believe they’re qualified to form their own country…

A reminder to us all to stop the weasel words and call this out for what it is: fascism.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

When history looks back on this time, #MarkKelly won’t have to lie about his role, or hang his head in shame. He won’t be amongst the craven cowardly self-dealing fascists who tried to destroy the lives of millions, for their own personal benefit. But history will surely judge clown Kegseth that way
