As always, the story Minneapolis residents are sharing is different from what ICE claims.
ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis on Monday, dragging her through the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted that the woman was pregnant.
During what was supposed to be a “targeted vehicle stop,” according to ICE officials, protesters swarmed the agents. Esme Murphy, a WCCO reporter, was on the scene, where she saw ICE holding a woman on the ground.
“Please let her go! She’s pregnant!” one onlooker shouted.
“Get her off of her fucking stomach,” another said.
Clown shoes and a clown show. They are not “just doing their jobs.” They are bad people who sign up to do this shit. Fuck ICE. Every last one of them. I wish there was a hell with a special place for every one of them. They are not law enforcement. These are not laws that they enforce. It state sanctioned terrorism.
I think it’s important that Americans realize that this is the same type of militarism that we have been doing abroad for decades. The difference with this administration is that that tactics of state terrorism have come home.
Fascism is imperialism turned inward. This is what Koreans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afgans, basically all of latin America, and many more countries have experienced through the use of our military for decades.
It’s important to recognize this. Because the same narratives they have manufactured, the same methods they use for control, all of it, is being used to enact and justify this violence here.
We will not defeat it by only fighting it when it hits our neighborhood. It’s being done in Venezuela now in the same way it was done in the past. We have always been monsters.
