This is extraordinarily bad

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.
It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.
What else is the regime hiding from us?

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

“For a moment I felt trapped. Because of the lack of warning the crowd was dense and difficult to navigate[…] everything felt chaotic as the tear gas and pepper balls filled my lungs.” Greg S., Portland
“For about an hour, union leaders and others gave speeches at the park. The speakers focused on a few different themes, including that the gathering was a peaceful protest. At least one speaker told the people gathered that by staying at the event, the people were committing to remaining peaceful and refraining from violence. A speaker called out these commitments to the crowd, and the crowd was directed to respond (and did respond) with, “I will.”” Adina R., Oregon City
“As we walked on the sidewalk on Macadam, we saw a woman walking toward us with an arm crutch. She seemed to be struggling with all the tear gas in the air, and from what I could tell, had nothing to do with the protest activity […] I saw people completely unrelated to the protest who were out walking their dogs and going about their business, gagging and coughing as they tried to get away from the overwhelming cloud of tear gas.” Justin S., Happy Valley
We received concerning accounts of federal agents using tear gas on peaceful protesters at the Portland ICE facility last month.
That's why, on Monday, we submitted a court filing supporting a lawsuit challenging this excessive force, with declarations by Oregonians about their experiences.
Wrote about Bad Bunny and how after more than a century under U.S. rule, after attempts to erase our national identity, after the man-made crises and natural disasters that have befallen our people, in the face of every challenge, seguimos aquí. We’re still here.

Concentration camps:
“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

My first remarks since being arrested last night.
Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.
“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.
I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.
ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
Local journalism matters.
I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

The detainee was an immigrant from Nicaragua who was being held in an immigration detention facility in El Paso, which the ACLU calls a “human and civil rights disaster.”
