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.

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away.

Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?
This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/kv6rA7r

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Good fucking morning to everybody except the Trump hacks at the DOJ stonewalling the investigation into Renee Good’s shooting. A grand jury and a trial should determine the officer’s fate—not MAGA politicians.

Respectfully disagree my friend. That fucking ICE agent shot a 37yr old mother in the face for no fucking reason, and after he shot her he called her a “fucking bitch.” The American people are fucking pissed off. The word FUCK perfectly captures our righteous anger. We must keep the f-bombs flying.
Dear Democratic politicians, may I make a humble suggestion?

Stop with the constant use of the F word. Not only is it tacky, it loses its impact when you do it so much, and honestly it looks forced like you’re trying to be tough.

Just a suggestion.

I don't think any Dem should vote to fund the government at the end of January without a guarantee of no masks, body cameras on every agent, and complete access to all detention facilities by members of Congress, as a bare minimum.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

If there are *any* Democrats in Congress who will still vote to keep funding this administration when it is using that money to terrorize our cities and refusing to allow congressional representatives their clear right to observe their activities, then those reps need to be primaried into retirement
I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
