sophyturtle @sophyturtle.bsky.social · 24/09/2026ICE attacked another person in the street. Beat him (opps?), then left without giving medical attention. Bystanders called 911, police come after. These thugs need to go to jail. Bystanders fear doing anything until ICE leaves, to avoid being killed (see historical precedent). Cops do nothing. 020
