Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.
