When you think back to the nomination hearings, every damn nominee has abandoned the assurances they made.

This wasn't the only incident where Vazquez has been seen aiming or firing directly at folks' heads (sometimes it's OC rounds, sometimes tear gas canisters) He did it in Chicago as well. Here he is on January 15 once again doing it to protesters and press outside Whipple:
More footage from a Jan. 15 protest against ICE at the Whipple Building shows federal agents using force against protesters, including agent EZ-17 from the BorTac unit of the Border Patrol firing tear gas at head level at someone from a short distance while other agents record video & take pictures.

This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them.
DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

Guys they are really, really not winning
It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially
God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible
But they are very much not winning

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.
But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.
That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.
Fund care, not punishment.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
