This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

FEMA camps conspiracy theory
The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement, L' that the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison
United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. 1112)(3114] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme
versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. 12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmht6n3frexsulkabk4vtrdm/bafkreib3lxmxbiovqymtftmsk5nu2lvdneqvusa3sjg6bomfy2dgltolq4@jpeg)
