A man was choked on the floor of a Charlotte restaurant by Border Patrol agents — and thousands of Americans invented a knife to justify it. My newest oped on on the lies Americans tell themselves to excuse state violence. zeteo.com/p/ice-migrants…

This is assault. Under NY law, a class D violent felony. Maximum 7 years in prison. Minimum 2. Add the fact that there’s more than one agent, gang assault. A class C violent felony. Max 15 years. Minimum 3.5.

What's happening in San Francisco is now a national scandal. Mayor Daniel Lurie's decisions on public safety are now national news. No different than Trump. Making decisions on fear & politics. Not reason or data. In the bluest of blue cities. Thread: washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Filming and documenting ICE activities and arrests is the most American thing you could do. The pinnacle of First Amendment protected action.

🚨BREAKING: A masked ICE agent was filmed carrying a toddler in pajamas… and walking away. And given everything we now know about ICE, that should alarm the hell out of you. Because we are being asked to trust that someone is a legitimate federal agent just because they say they’re ICE… while their face is covered and they refuse to give out their badge numbers. And when that person is carrying away a fucking toddler, that is not something we should be expected to just shrug off. Especially when we have learned that ICE’s vetting process is deeply flawed. The ICE agent who fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine had years of family court records detailing allegations of domestic and child abuse, including protective orders and other serious red flags. And somehow, he was still given a badge, a gun, and the authority of the federal government to arrest people, and take children into custody. And that’s not the only problem… We are also seeing cases of people impersonating federal immigration agents… including masked individuals using law-enforcement-style clothing, and equipment, to make themselves appear legitimate. So, when you have a masked man, claiming to be ICE, carrying away a toddler, the question everyone needs to be asking is… WHO THE FUCK IS THIS PERSON? How are we supposed to trust a system that has already failed to properly vet the people it gives this kind of power to? And how the hell are we supposed to tell the difference when criminals can easily pretend to be ICE, too? This is the terrifying reality of creating a system where people are expected to obey masked men carrying children away… simply because they claim to have government authority.

ICE KILLS. DHS LIES. Since Trump returned, 55 people have died in ICE custody. Federal immigration officers have fatally shot at least 11 more. Others died fleeing masked agents. DHS said Renée Good “weaponized” her car. Video contradicted it. It said Alex Pretti approached with a gun. Video showed a phone and his weapon holstered. It portrayed Geraldo Lunas Campos’s death as attempted suicide. His autopsy ruled homicide by asphyxia. It said Lorenzo Salgado tried to run over an agent. Every passenger says he was parked. PAXIS.app confirms: This is state violence followed by state propaganda. PAXIS helps immigrants and allies prepare legally and constitutionally for ICE encounters and deal with the aftermath.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent was filmed sitting on top of a man and repeatedly punching him in the head during an arrest in Plainfield, New Jersey. In the video, three ICE agents are already on top of the man. One agent is holding his legs, another is sitting on him, and a third is restraining his arms and putting him in handcuffs. Then, the agent sitting on him starts punching him directly in the head. The man has one hand handcuffed and is using his other hand to try to shield his head from the punches. The person filming yells, “Hey!” The agent looks directly at them… And then seconds later punches the man in the head AGAIN. ICE agents do NOT get unlimited permission to beat someone just because they are arresting them. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable force during an arrest. That means ICE agents cannot just use whatever amount of force they want because they are making an arrest. ICE’s own detention standards say force is supposed to be limited to what is necessary to gain control, and explicitly state that physical force or restraints are not to be used as punishment. Looking at the video it appears the agents have control of the man… The man was already partially handcuffed and was using his free hand to try to protect his head from being punched. So why is an agent repeatedly punching him in the head? This is another agent that needs to be investigated… Because being arrested does not mean you lose your right to be free from excessive force.
