There is a clear undercurrent of violence against queer women from ICE.
If a woman isn't interested in them, she's a 'fucking bitch' who becomes disposable at best and in need of violent 'correction' at worst.
It's immigrants on the surface, and queer people incidentally today. Tomorrow it's you.

“When I was in the cell, I overheard a woman asking to call her girlfriend, and I started crying because I just thought of Renee, and I thought of my girlfriend and this girl. And I was like, ‘Why are so many lesbians being fucked up by ICE right now?’”

You cannot "train" murderous, violent ICE agents not to be murderous and violent.
Bodycams will do nothing to stop this. The agent who killed Good PROUDLY RECORDED THE KILLING.
The entire agency must be defunded and abolished.

🚨FDA upgraded a cheese recall to Class I (highest risk) over Listeria which can cause severe illness, miscarriage, or more rarely death- especially for pregnant people, elderly, or immunocompromised. Discard/return affected products.
Can't help but wonder if cuts to USDA inspectors played a role? 🤔
