I have seen countless cases of improper less-lethal use and this might, honestly, be the worst I have ever seen in my career and I find it incredible how this brave man was able to just walk away afterward.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is horrendous
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Sending troops to cities against their will is unconstitutional and un-American.

A right winger kills a young conservative leader and the news media bites on conservative claims that the martyr was all about open debate and free speech and MAGA then shuts down media it dislikes and openly defies free speech and the spirit of the first amendment.

It's true
they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.
they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.
the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.
do not offer it to them.
