We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.
They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.
If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

The location I went to on Gilbert & Warner had assistance from Gilbert PD. People came to observe but most missed the raid. However I spoke to Zipps employees who showed me footage of their co-worker getting taken. They told me that agents ordered all non-white employees show proof of citizenship.

From what I can tell, several locations also attracted pro-ICE agitators. If anyone has any footage of these folks or feds (I saw both HSI and Border Patrol) please send to [email protected]

Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.
Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

This is another reason why it’s more apt to say ICE is a return to pre civil rights policing, not a departure from policing itself. Post 60s the cops learned that PR was perhaps the most important part of preserving impunity. Now ICE is fucking up the bag.

Read closely any of these anonymous critiques from DHS officials and you will notice it all boils down to frustration with the PR “strategy.” Matches with critiques of training and transparency. This is why you always need to ask, is the concern with the presentation or mission?

I've asked BOP how many of their tactical guys are inMN as well as whether they have any comment on how or why their officer is standing outside this hotel with a bloody hand and mouth. This was their response.
(They declined to comment and referred me to ICE.)

Just as in the aftermath of the Renee Good shooting a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people on here (and elsewhere) are sharing baseless claims about the identity of one of the Border Patrol agents who shot Alex Pretti over the weekend.

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.
