I wrote about this in @spitfirenews.com yesterday, but the pretense for the federal government to brutalize you—up to and including murder—is now simply that you live in a place that swung blue during the last election. Just living there means they’ll literally call you a radical rioting agitator.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
