Someone not on site. Someone who’d done no investigation. Someone who only wanted a divisive political narrative to justify the cold blooded killing of an American citizen, but had no remorse for his death. Someone who doesn’t belong in a powerful position in our government.

@washingtonpost.com: "DHS officers have fired shots during enforcement arrests or at people protesting their operations 16 times since July, and...in each case the Trump administration has publicly declared their actions justified before waiting for investigations to be completed."

I feel conflicted about photographing people in circumstances like this, but I also think it’s important to bring awareness to the fact that many people live in dire situations every day. Beauty cannot exist without ugliness, unfortunately.

IMMORAL…
This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”
An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Difficult to believe the shootings in Minneapolis were spontaneous actions by the federal officers. More likely they ocurrred in compliance with policy from higher authority. Their policy is to murder protesters.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Part of why you don't do this is not just b/c pending investigation. Even when it was 100% justified and necessary, it's no small thing psychologically. It's traumatic in, like, a PTSD sense. To be kind of shell-shocked by it. Of course you don't put them on the street the next day. That's deranged.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
