The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

The current position of the Republicans in Congress: They would change nothing that ICE and CBP are doing, and they'd allow massive increases in funding for what they're now doing to go ahead. They're just fine with the current policies, practices, and governance of ICE and CBP.

They keep talking about "cooperating with immigration enforcement" as if convoys of troops randomly interrogating and detaining people across the city and attacking bystanders with chemical weapons is just a totally normal part of how law enforcement works that we're all used to.

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

Here's the thing that everybody needs to process fully. The current federal government no longer cares that we know it's lying, they no longer cares that the mainstream media says they're lying, they no longer care if the evidence proves they're lying. We are not talking to them any longer.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
