Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

I'm heartbroken and furious at the news of yet another fatal shooting in MN. I voted to block additional ICE funding, I’m demanding a complete and transparent investigation, and I'm fighting to unmask ICE agents. There must be accountability.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

In 2003, as part of a massive crackdown on civil liberties, Congress passed a bill creating the Department of Homeland Security, and with it, ICE.
Since then, ICE agents have wreaked havoc on our communities. Enough is enough.

Stop ICE's Attack On Our Communities
An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. This news is devastating. ICE must immediately withdraw its 2,000 agents from Minnesota and Congress must block any new funding to immigration enforcement.

FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES THIS POINT!
Yes, ICE is struggling to recruit and dropping standards. But the abuses we've seen on the streets are coming from long-serving agents. Jonathan Ross was a 10-year ICE veteran and a firearms instructor. The problem with ICE isn't J6ers. It's with the agency itself, and the people directing it. 6/
