An ICE agent pointed a gun at the head of a civilian—for snapping a photo of his license plate. One hand on the trigger, the other fumbling the car door. He didn’t realize someone else was already filming. R/t@longtimehistory

Meet Ms. Opal Lee, the ā€œGrandmother of Juneteenth.ā€ Due to her tireless work, President Biden declared June 19th a federally recognized holiday in 2021. ā€œJuneteenth is not a Texas thing.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a massive blow to Trump’s deportation machine, The ICE agents who attempted to gain entry at Dodger Stadium have been REFUSED entry and have been escorted out by LAPD. Good riddance.
