🚨🚨 So ICE removed all Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's personal effects--wallet, phone, etc--after shooting him before they put him in an ambulance. Is that normal law enforcement practice? Or does it suggest a coverup or attempt to manage information was underway from the beginning?

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed
Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape * Middle East crisis – live updates * Iran threatens to attack oil facilties across Gulf after Israeli strikes Thick black smoke was still rising in the sky, soot covered the streets and cars, balconies filled with black gunk, and the toxic air had filled the lungs as Tehran woke up after a night of airstrikes on the city’s oil depots on Sunday. In messages and voice notes sent to the Guardian, people described the situation in their homes and on the streets, some calling it “apocalyptic”. With the sun blotted out, disoriented people in Iran’s capital had to turn on their lights to see through the gloom. Continue reading...

Horrific

In addition to detailing her abuse at Epstein's hands, the woman offered vague details across three interviews about her encounter with Trump. She said the incident occurred when he was a leading developer with a new casino in Atlantic City. She said she was led to Trump in a "very tall building with huge rooms" The future president instructed others to leave the room, she said, and allegedly told her, "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."
She said he unzipped his pants and forced her to perform a sex act. The alleged victim told the FBI she "bit the (expletive) out of it," causing Trump to slap her across the face and curse at her.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
