ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

In Chicago, a federal judge made sure Border Patrol agents were using body cameras.
But in Minneapolis, we have the agent’s perspective in shooting Renee Nicole Good because HE RECORDED IT WITH HIS CELL PHONE! AND LEAKED THE VIDEO! Clearly not a deterrent.

it’d be bad enough for the offer to happen when all the paperwork was missing - the made-up dates ICE listed for her medical and background checks being completed makes it even worse. They’re faking employment data to shield themselves from oversight & accountability
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
