Also calling on
@wyden.senate.gov
@merkley.senate.gov
to defund ICE
@ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov defund ICE. Stop the entire government if you have to, because this is our highest domestic priority.

What the HELL
So much wrong with this but…they sold his phone?!? Like, for profit?? Now ICE can just confiscate and pawn your property???
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

“get it all on record now. get the films. get the witnesses, because somewhere down the road of history, some bastard will get up and say that this never happened”'

For those wondering, felon and Hitler enthusiast Trump declaring himself "acting president of Venezuela" is flagrantly illegal and a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty and independence. It's also gross imperialism that threatens global security.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

“tomorrow there’ll be more of us”
Kristi Noem stated over the weekend that Americans deserve what they get if they get in the way of law enforcement operations, including the murder of Renee Good. If people get injured or killed, it's on them. Then she is sending more agents to Minneapolis. This Regime wants us killed.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Lawless thugs in our streets.
On 1/11/26, (ICE) and (CBP) in St. Paul, Minnesota, broke the window of an activist at a gas station. They then forcibly removed him from his car and abducted him while simultaneously firing pepper balls at other community members.
January 11, 2026 at 11:08 PM
So if we make them mad, they’ll kill us.

We are battered partners now.
This is a threat, gaslighting, a lie, and irrational -- all at the same time.

Quite an accomplishment.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
