The agent that shoved that woman down needs to be prosecuted for assault. The agents that took Pretti down and beat him with tear gas containers need to be prosecuted. And the two agents who shot him in the back, after his gun had already been removed, need to be prosecuted for murder.

Unbelievable. Of course they'll never quote the verses about honoring the strangers among us, or treating everyone as if they were Jesus.

Yes, I know. That's why I'm more willing to risk encountering a bad immigrant than I am a thug in a Trump uniform.

No one with an ounce of decency works for Trump. How many resignations of people with long resumes of public service have happened in the last year?

Shooting anyone in the back when he's been knocked down by numerous agents and beaten in the process is a dick move, no matter if he's a nurse or not.

It's definitely a strain of people who've always been here. I'm just hoping that we can clean it out now that it's out in the open. Or it'll win and we'll go back 150 years.

Unbelievable. They use the excuse of improving safety by removing criminal immigrants, and instead they're making us all less safe. I'd much rather have the risk of crime from a few bad actors than have a government committing it right out in the open.

I think he's cleaning out the fake Christians. There's a big push back on this prosperity Christianism and Christian Nationalism. People who haven't had to think about their inherited beliefs are thinking hard about it.

Graphic video shows federal agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis, contradicting DHS claims. Was the victim really a threat? Why did Border Patrol Commander Bovino shut down the press conference?

Matthew 7:15, which warns to "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." I'm also reminded of the those who, when Moses was on Mount Sinai, quickly turned to worshipping the golden calf.

Trump is not the only politician/businessman who definitely does not want the files released. We'd do better to look at the victims' testimonies and start going after the people they named.

I do disagree with Vote Blue. The Democratic National Congress is every bit as corrupt as the RNC--they just don't show it as openly. We need to start voting for the right candidates, not the candidates of a particular party, and we need to break the stranglehold both organizations have on us.
