semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Ah, but here, corporations are 'people' so so long as they survive, who needs humans?
Absolute madness
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

A crowd of hundreds gathered at a St. Cloud strip mall parking lot to observe more than two dozen ICE officers near some Somali-owned businesses.

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

IMO if you are reporting on anti-abortion legislation in individual states and not noting that the majority of this shit is model legislation drafted by orgs like Americans United for Life, you probably shouldn't be reporting on reproductive rights.

Police arrested volunteers for feeding hungry people in Kansas City, after 13 years without incident. Businesses complained, blamed immigrants & threatened ICE. 2 were charged w/ trespassing. Kansas City "Food Not Bombs" feeds 50-100 people weekly. This is state cruelty.

Their lack of human compassion, the bravado of their cruelty absolutely stuns me.
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

Earlier today, Border Patrol arrested a man in the parking lot of a gas station in St. Paul. They busted out his drivers side window, ultimately dragging him out of the car, pulled him to the ground, and dragged him into one of BP's SUVs.

ICE doesn’t use pepper spray as crowd control. When it’s a “parting gift” to peaceful protesters from agents departing the scene, this is a physical way to say what agent Ross said out load after murdering Renee Good.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Minneapolis right now—
At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

Leaving aside the brutality of this, I can’t get over how dumbly resource intensive these raids are.
Dozens of agents—including a senior official Bovino himself supervising—going after one guy, who may or may not even be an enforcement target for them.
The terror is real, but this doesn’t scale.

A SWARM of Border Patrol agents violently invaded a Minneapolis gas station—crushing car windows, tackling and brutalizing drivers, and taking several. We've confirmed at least one of them was U.S. CITIZEN Lalo Rios Meza.
