Make no mistake though, things are escalating in Dallas and beyond. The illusion that U.S. citizens are safe from these gestapo tactics is just that: an illusion.

Later, I received word that two court observers were being “temporarily detained” by US Marshals.

So I went back to the courthouse to stand with them until we figured out what was going on. They were released and were still unclear what the issue was. 🧵

I asked “is that a threat?” He said, “no, I’m just letting you know.”

Are these men ICE? CPB? Gang members? Paid thugs? Who knows. But I do consider his action a threat. 🧵

I am. Thank you. Please pray for our immigrant neighbors and those who advocate for their inherent worth as children of God made in God’s image. 🙏

This facility is the first stop agents bring those detained, but this building is primarily where immigrants go for scheduled check-in appts. You know-immigrants doing things “the right way.” This is also where a group of us were standing on Monday. Lord, in your mercy. www.wfaa.com/video/news/l...

This is unquestionably an act of political violence meant to terrorize immigrants and those who believe in their inherent dignity. 🧵

The Vice President is saying the attack was on ICE agents which seems inaccurate as detainees are being identified as the victims - not law enforcement officers and the shooter has been identified as a white man. 🧵
