ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.
Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.
Why is any of this necessary?

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.
