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.
kneels on pregnant woman
Shit.
Honestly, every single time I think there can’t be any more horrid shit to surprise me… there is.
Famously, the Boston Massacre started with a crowd of Americans throwing snowballs at a militarised police force.

If any of the ICE officers fired into the crowd, we would have mesurably surpassed the conditions that started the American Revolution.
Minus men of character forming militias. We’re fucked.
Be the change you want to see.
If you’re ever lucky enough to get selected for jury duty on an “assault on a federal officer” case, then I believe it is your civic duty to acquit, no matter the evidence.
Google “jury nullification”.
It just take 1 person to nullify a jury.
We can do better and just nullify a grand jury, that way they dont even get charges through.
But then they can try again.
Only with a misdemeanor charge. A grand jury is pass or fail.
Grand jury is simple majority so one person saying no doesn’t matter, and it’s for indictments only. A failed indictment isn’t an acquittal. They can try again with a different grand jury.
Petit juries do the trial, you need a uanimous verdict, even a 7/12 or a 11/12 “not guilty” vote is not an aquittal and the charges can be brought again and again forever (unless the judge dismisses it with prejudice).
This is literally a Doug Stanhope bit from decades ago. Still true today.
Make a list of every single ICE officer and let the investigations begin once with madness finally ends.
I have a feeling atleast half should be doing some jail time for crimes they have committed while hiding under the ICE name.
In a just society it wouldn’t be snowballs
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 wonder when folks are going to start throwing bullets at ICE?
If ice went after the dangerous gangs, it would have happened already, they only target people they can bully.
Were I to do that in public, I’d expect horrific consequences. Feeling safe enough to kill a pre-infant seems like a failure of the system to me.

I am lucky not to be in america, and I am not in that position, but if an Ice agent does this to a pregnant woman in front of me, I am sure as hell going to do something emotional in that moment.
I am suprised we have not really seen crowds jumping small groups of Ice agents to rescue their neighbours.
I’ve seen tons of videos where exactly that happens, some of them as little as four people walking towards them purposely sent them running. I think I’ve only seen one where they managed to get someone already handcuffed away, but tons where ICE just gets back in their cars and leave
The one issue is they want that to happen. Then they can justify using Force against people as they try to do this. One of the reasons they brought national guard into many of these cities was so that way if it devolved into the use of force they had justification to start shooting immigrants.
You are absolutely correct. I am not sure I would be able to stay that diciplined for this long.
At some point, I expect they wont care about having an excuse and start escalating the violence anyway.
I can guarantee they’re going to continue test late until they get to that point. They’re testing the waters to see how far Americans are willing to let it go. They’re already getting followed they’re already getting filmed that already getting the whistle brigades after them which currently are one of the best uses because it draws attention to what they’re doing they can’t do it in the secret and the fact that they started hitting these guys to snowballs and started fighting back in other ways really does help.
If you want an example of what they’re waiting on you look at the shooting that happened at the two national guard members in Washington dc. Most likely was false flag attack and it was sponsored by the CIA because it was an ex CIA trained agent that did the shootings. And they probably paid him and his family a rather huge sum or guaranteed that his family would receive full asylum in the united states. Which I’m sure will be stripped away from them the moment they deem that he is no longer useful to them.
What in the serious fuck is wrong with ICE officers. They aren’t professionals, they are a joke.
Threatening the crowd? I can’t even with this level of stupidity. Dumb thugs.
They’re fascists.
No one will know who threw the rock covered in snow
Maybe it would work if there was a joke allegory about some strangers living in a barn, with a new born baby whilst their country is occupied by colonialist guys that invented fasces.
You know, Christmas.
Pro-life party at work.
They’d probably convict the mother for a forced abortion by ICE too if it came to that.
Yes I’m being ghoulish. I am just so fucking beyond done with what America has let this come to.
