Today, we lost another Minneapolis neighbor after multiple ICE agents pummeled him and shot him to death.
How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends?
President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first and get ICE out.

Time itself does not magically heal anything. Time that passes while a wound or injury is getting no care or the wrong care can actually be toxic.
I don't care how long ago a wound or injury occurred-- "you should be over that by now" is never a realistic approach to healing.

A masked man with a gun snatched him up, used him as bait against his own family, then sent him to a notoriously inhumane prison on the other side of the country.
“They cared for him,” is some Theresienstadt-level propaganda.

ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"
