He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

I've been dragging my feet on distributing whistles and fliers about what to do when we see ICE in my neighborhood but I'm leaving to do it now.
Let this anger galvanize you. The best antidote to hopelessness is action. Stay safe, fuck ICE

This is the man who, according to DHS, wanted to “do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement”:
This video makes it so much worse. The man they executed was just trying to shield a woman who was being assaulted by one of the agents. They spray him when he wasn’t a threat and then end up executing him, all because he was protecting someone else.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

The NBA is cancelling games because a fascist secret federal police are executing Americans in the street; school systems, businesses, and museums are closing because of the threats from the federal government.

Every video I’ve seen directly contradicts the DHS narrative.
They say he approached the officers armed and ready to “massacre law enforcement.”
In reality, he was recording ICE then after they shoved a woman, he got in between them.
They then surrounded him and killed him.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS.
Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"
And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”
And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up
so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.
