This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

If an ICE agent shoot an unarmed pedestrian, they should be taken into custody, and booked the same as any other shooting incident. The midterms are upon us, and Trmp will not assist any blue state.

Nothing, because NYPD are absolutely class traitors. Completely incapable of introspection or thoughts of consequences.

NYPD should’ve let the people do what they needed to do. ICE and they’re out of shape loser selves need to know that the people won’t stand for it. After all, it’ll be a hard day when NYPD members have their own families harassed by ICE. What would they say then?

Oh man this is about to pop off
Outraged Bronx residents flocked to the

corner, chanting "Murderers!" "F- ICE!" and

"ICE out of the Bronx!"

During one heated exchange, more than a dozen people grabbed and pinned a masked ICE agent against a wall when he got too close to the police tape lining the scene. "Take the mask of P--!" the residents

screamed.

NYPD officers swooped in and rescued the agent, pulling him back behind the tape as federal agents created a blockade line.

The NYPD referred all additional questions about the incident to the feds.

But Assemblyman Manny De Los Santos (D- Manhattan), who showed up at the scen was told that ICE agents weren't cooperating with the NYPD.

9. That is why, to those who understand the stakes, comments like Acton's likely read as a cancer on the party. And a candidate willing to throw transgender people under the bus to win has seemingly told every other minority exactly what their protection is worth when the polling gets tight.

8. As long as trans people have an opposition party standing in unity against anti-trans policies, every ban, remains reversible. But if enough Dems see transphobia as acceptable, then trans rights could be eroded for a generation, with no mechanism left to reverse the losses, similar to UK Labour.

7. It would spread the idea, through a party that has so far remained a relatively stalwart opposition, that embracing transphobia is what winning requires. That result could be more disastrous for transgender people than any individual right-wing victory.

6. The consequences of this shift could be severe. Some warn that a Ramaswamy victory would be worse for transgender Ohioans. But others see a deeper danger: an Acton victory built on anti-trans capitulation would teach Democrats everywhere a horrific lesson.

5. The news threatens to rock the party further, because the scandal is no longer just about the candidate. Acton called transgender girls "boys" and endorsed a sports ban; the party responded by disciplining the people who objected.

4. Now we know why. After prodding by Erin In The Morning, the caucus has revealed the answer: the Ohio Democratic Party itself demanded the criticism be removed, effectively barring those within the party from publicly critiquing a major candidate's transphobia.

A lot of people have been asking why we removed our statement addressing Amy Acton’s comments regarding transgender athletes. As a new caucus, we are still learning the ropes when it comes to being an internal part of the ODP. While operating outside of the party, we were afforded a bit more freedom with respect to our communications with the public. By posting a statement without going through the official approval process we inadvertently broke the rules we agreed to when we were recognized as an internal caucus. 😬
We don’t necessarily agree with this policy and we are still negotiating how we can best comply with the party’s regulations while continuing to advocate for our members. However, despite our protests, ODP insisted that the post be removed and we follow procedure. 
After deleting the original statement, we promptly asked about submitting the post for approval through the proper channels so that it could be reposted. At this point, ODP staff informed us that a meeting with Acton was on the table. After thorough discussion, caucus leadership determined this offer aligned with our goal to bring our message directly to her.
We believe she stands the best chance of winning in November by having a full picture of what her constituents want and we are glad she has agreed to meet with us. This is a good sign. We will advocate for her campaign to stop making ineffective right-wing concessions and focus on her plan to make all our lives affordable. She is our only option in this race and not a single Ohioan will be better off if her Republican opponent is elected to office. We are looking forward to working with her and helping her to better understand these nuanced issues so she is able to WIN – which will undoubtedly take the support of EVERYONE on the collective Left!

3. The rebuke from her own party was severe. The Ohio Democrats Progressive Caucus, an official advisory group of the state party, issued a blistering page-long statement declaring that its members were now less willing to doorknock for her—before the post puzzlingly vanished shortly thereafter.

2. Earlier this week, Ohio's Dem nominee for gov, Amy Acton, made headlines for calling trans girls "boys" and declaring that she would enforce Ohio's sports ban, which she cast as a matter of "fairness" and "kids' health and safety." www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-ohio-g...

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.
