Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

Barranco’s son Alejandro told Jacob Soboroff, Julia Ainsley, and Suzanne Gamboa of NBC News that his father is being held with at least 70 other people with one toilet and no privacy and that he has very little water and even less food. ICE DETENTION CENTERS STFU
White Privilege.
Happens every time with police. Black suspect - police execute them in the streets. White suspect - police treat them with respect, and offer them cookies and milk.
Did anybody catch Jimmy Kimmel show last night? Diego Luna is the guest star and he was talking about some things that I’ve been talking about about undocumented immigrants for years. he actually made Guillermo cry. It’s on youTube.
Who was the border patrol agent who took him in for processing? Was that agent the same who arrested him? There is a paper trail to follow to find the assailants of Barranco.
Das ist ein schockierender Vergleich, aber leider nicht unwahr. Es ist wichtig, dass wir uns der Ungerechtigkeit bewusst sind und versuchen, sie zu ändern. Was denkst du, wie wir die Polizei dazu bringen können, sich fairer zu verhalten?
BP Agents my ass!🤬 cowards every one of them. It sure takes a lot of courage for a group of masked thugs to beat up an unarmed peaceful man. Disgusting 🤮
Were those fat fucks really ice agents?
It feels like Nazi Germany.
I always asked why the Jewish communities allowed the inhuman torture and did not fight back?
I'm sick of allowing this evil regime and their Nazi thugs to control the narrative.
What white male thinks Narciso stole his job? If you're that lazy, coddled white male, here's a job you can do. Get off your lazy male ass and get off welfare.
Disable/damage their vehicles. Ice-pick tires and use automatic center-punch to blow out car windows. Mark thugs on foot with glue-glitter bombs.
Reply to any violence with appropriate escalation. (These thugs really aren't gonna give a shit until they start getting shot.)
They are doing this because they can! And they will never be held accountable with this evil mobster criminal running our country and a GOP giving their permission.
The timeline and facts don’t add up from what the local cops reported. Terrorist was at a 3rd house after police knew about the first attempted murder, cop see car approaches it, he’s wearing that obviously fake mask, she said he looks ahead and drives off. Hour later the murders while cops on scene
Cops watch him fire into the house and go in yet don’t fire at him and allow him to escape on foot out back door. Pigs are either in on it or useless as usual.
Shame on me. I had no idea who Boelter was or is.
msm dares not mention his name and IMO got away with it too. Altho I did wonder if they bought him a meal after his capturel
I saw the video about Narciso and his situation. Heartbreaking that such a good man is victimized while working and wanted his son to finish the job for him. A good, decent American.
I know times are tough in America right now, and it feels like fewer people are willing to help — but that’s exactly why this matters. 🚨 please take a moment — this could truly change my life. Even a simple share makes a real difference. 🙏 #Support #GoFundMe #KindnessMatters 💙 https://gofund.me/0af928df
tears aren't going to end this and those imposing the cruelty gleefully are aware of this. Shaming and whining the shameless only emboldens them. There will ALWAYS be those looking to inflict cruelty, it's the weak response that is shameful, tears save no one, go down fighting
and Narciso Barranco called his son to ask him to finish his landscaping job at IHOP from which he was so brutally taken.
These are the immigrants I know - decent, kind and very hardworking. This is a travesty of humanity.
thanks, Katie, for pointing this out. we watched Mr. Barranco get pummeled by the cult's ICE agents. 😥 we could not see their faces.
but when Boelter the murderer was apprehended, he was handled without violence even tho he committed a crime so heinous, so horrific and appalling.😡
See the Fatso with the gray shirt & Temu vest that leaves vital organs uncovered? He & his group are in a lot of videos doing sketchy shit. Fatso pulled a gun on a lady for crying because he kidnapped her husband & stuffed him into a small private car.
I keep trying to understand what's really going on here. The premise is that they are trying to get "illegal" people out of the country. But if that's all it is then why are they spending all this money and effort to put them in foreign jails? Why not just deport them? What do they want with them?
Why are ICE agents not showing their faces? Impersonating officers of the law seems to be the rage right now. Some individuals like to dress up like law enforcement agents and then commit atrocities. How do we know that some of these people are not posers or worse yet, rapists and murderers.
These individuals do not carry themselves with the demeanor of trained law enforcement officers. Without identification these folks leave the impression they are vigilantes and should be investigated and prosecuted as appropriate.
ICE agents choosing to operate this way are paving the way for copycat criminals to do the very same thing already. saw one story about a place being robbed by a supposed ICE agent and making of with thousands of dollars. I can only imagine the stories not being reported on yet 🤮
The names of the goons who beat and abducted him? Do we have those yet? Have they been arrested and taken into custody? When is Steven Miller, Trump and Noem going to be arrested?
@katiephang.bsky.social She’s a native Floridian. She went Yale undergrad returned to Fl for lawschool. Served as prosecutor and practices law.
Everyone loves her. Charisma in spades. No Repub would survive her.
It's getting more and more difficult not to believe that the goons DHS has hired to carry out these abductions are chosen, in part, because they enjoy it. They like to dress up like their special forces heroes with the masks and all the unnecessary guns, the beatings. They get a kick out of it.
Well of course, Boelter is a white Christian nationalist extremist. If he was a person of colour he would have been shot dead at the scene. My bet is he’s going to be pardoned and he’ll be working for ICE or he’ll be part of Trump’s team of advisors next.
Masked men abducting migrants off the street, imprisoning them in inhumane conditions for extended periods and shipping them to prisons in violent, conflict ridden countries.
That's new.
There is a grotesque escalation of human rights abuses.
There are both state charges&federal charges in this case. There is also a state senator & his wife recovering from their gunshot wounds. add that into the charges. Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark Hortman, & their dog Gilbert Hortman are lying in state in the state capital rotunda at this time.
I have never been so ashamed of my country than seeing these masked thugs beating and kidnapping god fearing people just trying to earn a living. What have we become?
I just can’t ready about these barbaric crimes, being committed by Führer Trump’s gestapo, anymore. It’s despicable, unbelievable, heartbreaking and Hitler type crimes. War crimes. 💔💔💔💔💔
Excuse me Border patrol agents do not beat the people they take into custody . I have lived in Border town Canada was our back yard . Those had to fake Border agents . I will stand with all Border patrols . We have friend who are Border patrols . They do not get enough credit . Fake news
Well I agree but these agents need to lose the masks and have their badges and ID's. Why are they beating people as that sort of thing is not in their training?
Membership has its privileges. Dylann Root was given a free hamburger after he shot and killed nine people in Charleston, SC while George Floyd who didn't kill anyone was killed instead
His sons are far more gracious (white privilege on my part) than I could ever imagine, seeing the senseless assault on their father. There is absolutely no shame in this regime.

I post almost daily directed at her to run.
But… hey! Systemic racism in America doesn’t exist because Republicans are burning all the books and historic records so it is not shown.
THIS IS NOT NEW.
This type of stuff has been going on since the country was founded.
That's new.

#JustSaying 
Everybody needs to ask themselves...
Why was that?
Why was an assassin arrested peacefully. And cuffed while standing up?
Why was the poor, brown man beaten by ICE while pinned to the ground?
