“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸

Seriously? There are more good reasons than one for owning guns or carrying for some. Its up to each person to decide for themselves but I had a little hope that folks on the left might see how its a good right to have. I hope more will at least think about all sides of it.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

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?

NO, ICE is not law enforcement they are supposed to be for immigration enforcement. The lady they shot was not an immigrant, she was the target of ICE, nor did she have immigrants in her vehicle. The news continuing to call them law enforcement only helps to blur it in ppls minds that they are.
