It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Heartbreaking and terrifying. But I love that the real police officer apologized to the young guy.
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Power comes from the consent of the governed, and we are not consenting. They're scared.
They are afraid of the American people exercising their First Amendment rights. Why else would they be making up lies and trying to control the narrative about #NoKings?

This right here.👇 Aren’t a lot of them bounty hunters, recently hired by ICE?
There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.
If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.
U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.
Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.
This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.
It was always about cruelty.
