' A young man is clearly complying, yet an agent still smashes his head into a wall. The "comply or die" authoritarians

These ICE agents need to be brought into Court. But, I have little hope that anything will happen--except they will continue with their cruelty!!

Seeing ICE use excessive force is no longer shocking. A young man is clearly complying, yet an agent still smashes his head into a wall. The “comply or die” authoritarians will cheer, because compliance was never really the point. Submission was.

Then look at the agent holding a Taser sideways like a child playing gangster. This is what we are dealing with: poorly trained, out-of-their-depth agents behaving more like a street gang than professional law enforcement.

cannot stop every abusive agent. But it can help immigrants and citizens prepare constitutionally and practically for what happens before, during, and after an ICE encounter.

so depressing. It feels hopeless, which is what they want.

It is also exhausting.

ICE needs either complete and total reform, or to be abolished all together. This cannot continue.

It's too infested with Nazis to ever be fixed.

and his thugs think* they're the Gestapo, even if they are totally clueless as to what that was. We are definitely going to need trials with severe sentencing.

My two sons didn't have toy guns. That didn't stop them from picking up sticks to use as a "gun." These ICE agents are acting about as professional and judicious as little kids did when they were play acting. A lot of bluff and bravado, in this case, protected by masks and a criminal government.
