ICE has booked at least 3,800 children +

May they never have a moment of peace
ProPublica has identified the two federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa (43) & Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez (35).

Reminder that all skin folk aint kin folk & that the statute of limitations for murder is NEVER. Justice Will Be Served.

ICE Tracker, so far today …

(There are not as many responders or watchers in the valley, there may be more raids than we’ve seen reported)

The survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre “became, late in life, the subject of national recognition, because that’s what America is good at—celebrating survivors of the harm the country allowed, not compensating for the misfortune it has caused.”
What America Lost When It Lost Mother Fletcher
With nearly all of the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre now dead, the country must find other ways to rectify its wrongs.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

I was one of Alex's nursing faculty at MCTC. This is simply devastating. He was a good student and I knew he'd be a good nurse. Im so sorry for you and his VA family. May his memory be a blessing and an example of what a nurse is.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

ICE exist to do the federal leader’s dirty work. Local pol-ICE exist to carry out local leaders’ dirty work. They perform the same functions but operate under different “jurisdictions.” Everything that you see ICE doing is also done by local pol-ICE.
