Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
