Public servants at work, spending our tax dollars by attacking women carrying phones. Is this really the best use of public money?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were operating right next to a SCHOOL BUS STOP, during morning pickup in Lindenwold, New Jersey. Children were standing waiting for the bus when federal agents flooded an apartment complex. Kids started running in fear, and as they ran, an SUV followed. Let that sink in… Elementary school kids, backpacks on, running from armed agents while a vehicle follows them through their own neighborhood. We keep being told these operations are about “public safety.” There is nothing about sending dozens of children into a panic before school that makes anyone safer. There is nothing normal about federal agents patrolling bus stops and apartment complexes like this. And we’re supposed to believe this is protecting children? At the same time the country is re-examining how often predators operate in positions of power, how often abuse hides behind wealth, connections, and authority, we are normalizing masked agents and unmarked SUVs hovering around school pickup points. We are normalizing fear as part of a child’s morning routine. You cannot claim to be fighting trafficking while creating chaos around school bus stops. You cannot claim to be pro-child while conducting aggressive operations in spaces where kids are supposed to feel safe.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting—just inches in front of her face. Agent is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher—shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called "less than lethal" ammo would almost certainly result in death. LAPD just stand by and watch the agent blatantly violate firearm policy that: "Shall not intentionally target the head, neck, groin, spine, or female breast." The incident occurred outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, California.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

ICE detain father with wife & newborn in hospital—had all legal documents to be in U.S. Wife was recovering from emergency C-section—he was arrested checking on their 3 other kids. "Even though we have our papers and everything in place, I'm still very afraid," he told pastor. Makengo Nzeza was granted legal asylum to live in the U.S. more than 8 years ago—he even owns his own business. He and his wife have three other children—ages 11, 6, and 3—and are active members of the church. "He's not the 'worst of the worst.' He's the best of the best," his pastor said. The incident occurred in Saco, Maine—about 20 minutes outside of Portland.
