So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Trump’s plan has been clear: terrorize Americans, attack them, shoot them in the face, and create as much chaos as possible — whatever it takes. Then use the chaos he manufactured to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Many of the January 6 insurrectionists want to cry “woe is me,” but they were literally convicted of crimes — and some are even considered white supremacists. I’m confused as to why we’re still debating conspiracy theories versus facts.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
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.
