This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

People feel the ICE shooting was “unjustified”... really? Not a complete outrage? A woman is shot dead because a criminal murdered her in broad daylight. How would that criminal like it if someone murdered his wife? while dropping his kids off at school?
