Bill Pollock @nostarch.bsky.social · 01/02/2026ICE must be stopped. Unchecked vigilantes brandishing weapons, firing tear gas, smashing car windows, dragging people from vehicles, arresting citizens for filming them, killing people. No oversight. No de-escalation. No accountability. No agency is above the law. 030
