Also, FACE act charges that were meant to protect abortion clinics. This is why abolitionists don't want carceral approaches to protecting people because they'll be turned around and weaponized.

Don Lemon was arrested for being a journalist covering a protest.

DHS is getting funded.
ICE is getting billions extra.
Nobody is getting fired or punished.
This has not been fixed. Nothing is better. Stay mad. Stay dangerous. Keep each other safe. Moral doesn’t mean legal and Stonewall was a riot.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Used to happen all the time in the 50s and early 60s with civil rights protestors. From recent reports it looks like Alex Pretti was watched and targeted. Another thing Black folks have always dealt with, now being used by ICE.

I'm not in cybersecurity these days, but I literally worked on encryption for government (state-level) full time, I did anti-hacker work for a dotcom, and have been running firewalls for various companies since 1995.

So I do have the chops for this.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Since its founding, the U.S. Border Patrol has arguably been the most politicized and abusive branch of federal law enforcement.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

Dear @padilla.senate.gov,
What will it take for you to start talking about the movie you’re in that exposes the Border Patrol coverups that are now being done to justify killing Americans? What will it take for you & dems to grow a spine? Your silence shows your complicity.

ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

Protesters flooded the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and W. 26th Street in south Minneapolis, near where Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents Saturday morning.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

“don’t give them what they want”

they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

A video from the area where ICE murdered another person in Minneapolis today. People are in the streets to resist.

It is horrific that the mercenaries murdered yet another person. It is as if they killed as an act of revenge for yesterday's general strike.

But it doesn't make them appear strong.
