I don't care how trained they are, or how trained the cops are.
They're complicit in kidnapping, hurting, and in some cases, killing our neighbors.
Abolish them.

Everyone talking about "poorly trained" ICE agents...it's not about the training. This needs to not be a talking point.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

They want the satisfaction of the reaction.
They're trolls, in it for the lulz, and the pain they can cause.
Thing is, they're human, and their moral is so low they're stooping to pathetic internet drama tactics.
It's hard to see yet - but press on, MN.

It's shocking how horrible these people are. Just so much immoral and illegal and just straight up evil behavior.
And then they laugh about it. About killing people and terrifying people and hurting people. They openly threaten people. It's just sickening.
And so we fight.

I don't give a shit who does or doesn't have a criminal record. They don't deserve to be in systems that should be abolished.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

ICE leaving Minneapolis isn’t the end of anything, it would be cathartic and possibly curb some of the building revolutionary anger and energy.
Nothing is over until ICE is abolished, its criminals imprisoned, the Trump Admin is run out of power, and a new and fairer future is realized.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
