Lots of people talking about violence workers and gender violence, which is something that Black women have been trying to get white feminists to see for a long time. Violence workers cannot protect women, even white women, from violence.

These house raids are being done by a mix of ice and customs and boarder patrol including bortac teams.

The doctor who was prevented from administering aid was indeed a medical doctor. He doesn't wish to speak to the media but I know his identity and can confirm the person who tried to help Renee Good and was prevented to by ICE is indeed an internal medicine doctor in Minnesota.
