UNREAL! Congressional hearing Tuesday with US citizen Marimar Martinez who was shot by ICE. Rep Garcia notes how the ICE agent bragged to his friends about shooting her, writing 'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." You can NOT reform ICE. Abolish and PROSECUTE ICE!!

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.
