@ReichlinMelnick Right, sanctuary City policies are the biggest problem here.

Prior to Trump’s mass deportation push, ICE shootings virtually never happened. The vast majority of ICE arrests involved people already in criminal custody.
Then Stephen Miller ordered ICE into the streets, deploying thousands of agents who’d never street enforcement before.

Recent deaths — in Houston and Biddeford, Maine — are among at least 17 shootings of motorists by federal immigration officers since the beginning of President Trump’s term nearly 18 months ago, a Washington Post analysis shows. wapo.st/4vxCPPg

@kapla1_kaplan @martinez_j7902 Did you pull a muscle jumping to that conclusion?
English
@martinez_j7902 So you Americans are saying it’s ok for the federal government ice cream agents to create a kill zone with children in a car with it’s mother who’s an American citizen fire rounds and kill women and children? And you call yourselves a civilized society?
English
in Aurora Chicago , ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot… fire into a vehicle's windshield with children in it, as she screamed that her children were inside.
Agents then dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause.
English
The issue here is that we have untrained, highly armed ICE agents who don’t identify themselves, don't wear body cameras and who are killing people.
No one is above the law, and everyone in this country has constitutional rights.
We will always protect Angelenos.
Secretary Markwayne Mullin@SecMullinDHS
Our #1 goal is to keep our officers safe and get criminals OFF our streets. Illegal aliens will be arrested and deported wherever they are. If you are here illegally, LEAVE NOW. As our officers carry out operations to enforce our nations laws, they are facing a more than 1,300% increase in vehicle attacks. We remind illegal aliens attempting to evade arrest is dangerous. This reckless illegal alien activity comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and shared resources for how to openly defy @ICEgov: ▪️Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public. ▪️Dan Goldman posted a video online calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters. ▪️Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest. ▪️California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest.

I've been in the room since the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing began this morning, watching Acting AG Blanche dodge questions and spew lies. One thing is clear: if he’s confirmed, he would keep using the DOJ to serve his own interests and protect his friends, not Americans.
English
@DarrigoMelanie Are you certain that this individual followed the process on the way in?
English
Without due process, ICE can just claim, without proof, that you're undocumented, then detain, incarcerate, and deport you.
Without due process, you're guilty with no chance to prove your innocence.
ICE agents are financially incentivized to arrest people, immigrant or not.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check. A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is… And they refused. Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle. Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest. U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle. And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution. Which should terrify every American. Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared. Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was. This cannot become normal.

@AdamKinzinger Stop car, Place in park, roll down windows and shut down motor.
English
I’m sorry, where did an agent almost get bowled over?
Because it wasn’t here

Footage from a security camera captured the shooting Monday during an immigration enforcement operation in the city of Biddeford. The incident marked the second time in a week that ICE used deadly force and at least the ninth death since President Donald Trump began his immigration crackdown.

@SenRubenGallego You're very irresponsible and lack good judgement.

Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh wrote that it's okay to racially profile if you speak spanish, speak english with an accent, or work on a construction site. He called it "common sense." Is it common sense to racially profile working class Latinos and kill them? I don't think so.

@hissgoescobra Pro tip: stop car, put it in park, roll down windows and shut down the motor. 100 percent you'll survive the encounter.

Guy was rolling around at 2 mph and they shot him in the head in front of his family.

In America, if one of these chuds draws their gun and points it at you....and you get scared and try to drive away....the government has a right to kill you.
But don't worry. They will also handcuff your corpse.
English
@Brcremer Hint: stop car fully, turn off engine, roll windows down. You're welcome.

“They should have just complied!”
They did and they got killed anyway.
“They should have just obeyed the law.”
They were and they got killed anyway.
“They should have come here legally!”
They did and they got killed anyway.
English
@PattyMurray Try spreading the following message. Turn motor off, roll down windows. This will greatly decrease any confusion on scene.
English
Another man was killed by ICE. Just days since the last fatal shooting by this agency.
I pushed constantly to give Republicans every opportunity to enact common-sense reforms on ICE—the same basic standards our local police follow.
Republicans BLOCKED every single reform.

@OfficialMLK3 Stop. Put trans in park. Turn motor off. Hopefully this helps.

A 26-year-old father was shot and killed by ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine yesterday while his wife and young daughter were nearby. He was not the person they were looking for. Witnesses say he tried to stop. There were four bullet holes in his windshield. There were no body cameras.
This is the second killing by ICE in a week as this cycle of violence continues. Agents are arriving in unmarked cars, in communities where people live and children play, leaving families shattered. My father said the ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people, but the silence over that by the good people. We cannot be silent.

Today, I sued the Heritage Foundation, Stephen Miller, a Columbia affiliate, and others under the KKK Act. I will not stop fighting until everyone who willingly contributed to my missing the birth of my son—and 104 days of my life—answers for it. More actions will come soon.
But this lawsuit is about far more than what was done to me. It is about a coordinated, ongoing plot to punish, silence, and intimidate everyone who dares to dissent and speak out for Palestinian liberation. We will hold them accountable.

ICE is beyond repairing. We can't reform our way out of this. Strip it down to the studs and start over.

@DianaforQueens Your child has bluey pj's? Well then, let's swing the border wide open and provide welfare to any and all that come.

My kid has Bluey pajamas.
What the fuck are we doing, folks?
If we’re not collectively fighting to abolish this horror, then what are we actually doing?

@repdeliaramirez You're reckless and irresponsible. Your judgment is lacking. You don't belong anywhere near Congress.
English
The organizing happening on the ground, the protests, and our demands work.
Thanks to our communities' organized outrage Trump and Markwayne have been forced to change their tactics.
But let's be clear, new and quiet tactics won’t change their mandate. We must continue the fight to abolish ICE and dismantle DHS!

ICE agents have been directed to suspend most vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide, sources say. cbsn.ws/4yB3hKO

@joncoopertweets Maybe jumping to conclusions is not appropriate.

I know Susan Collins is pro-ICE, but you’d think she’d at least care enough to put out a statement when a victim is gunned down by ICE agents in her own backyard. Her silence today speaks volumes.
For shame.
English
@RepLaMonica Another reckless and irresponsible "rep". Your judgement is questionable at best.
English
It’s been less than a week since ICE killed someone in the street in Houston. These are not coincidences, this is a pattern.
These killings are the result of cruel leadership with zero accountability. Investigate this tragedy and abolish ICE now.

Just to put this to rest so MAGA folks can understand a simple analogy. 🇳🇴🇺🇸
Norway is now what America would look like if Bernie Sanders were President, AOC were Vice President (or vice versa), Zohran Mamdani were Secretary of State, and Democrats held supermajorities in both the House and the Senate.
Have a good day. ✌️

Disband ICE. Melt ICE. However you want to say it.
There’s no reason for ICE to exist as it exists.
