Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

If you see what you think is an ICE operation/raid call and report it to the DIRE hotline 888-DIRE-SOS (888-347-3767). Note the time and exact address. Make note of the number and type of cars involved and the number of agents and what uniforms they are wearing. Take photos and video if you can.

Dear Congress, I’m not impressed with you. I don’t respect you. I am ashamed of you. You are betraying your oath to defend & protect the Constitution. Your party doesn’t matter. You’ve ALL failed. All us regular folk are held accountable at our jobs so you finks need to OWN IT. Change course NOW.

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

Just received word that ICE has detained an 11th grader from Ridgewood’s Grover Cleveland High School after a routine immigration hearing. Apprehending minors in courthouses and separating them from their families is unacceptable, and I join the school in calling for his release

⚠️Brutality & depravity- ICE raids were reported in multiple locations in LA (with the FBI’s help). This ICE/FBI driver didn’t stop for a protester who stepped in front of the car. They accelerated then drove around the injured person. They didn’t even stop & render aid! #StopICE #LA @abc7la IG

ICE has been abducting law abiding families who have been dutifully attending check-ins with ICE and forcing them into a federal building basement in Los Angeles where they are being denied food, water, and forced to sleep on the floor.

🧵 Her crime?—Daring to cry “He’s not a criminal” after agents grabbed her father off the street in front of her. A jackbooted thug pointed a gun at her while opening a car door with the other hand. We need to protect our immigrants & their families. Please see resources & CTAs in my thread.

I'm 73, I've never seen ICE agents that were this cruel. Their training must have come from watching Nazi training videos or Nazi war videos. They dress sloppy, hide their faces and act without remorse. Sad day in America and my America is gone. If this is MAGA's America then it should burn in hell

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

Here’s video evidence that LAPD was not only securing the perimeter for the ICE / HSI raids, they were also inside the facility during the operation. Lying ass @LAPDHQ said they were “not involved in the immigration enforcement”… what does this look like to you?

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do. Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
