As always, the story Minneapolis residents are sharing is different from what ICE claims.

ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis on Monday, dragging her through the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted that the woman was pregnant.

During what was supposed to be a “targeted vehicle stop,” according to ICE officials, protesters swarmed the agents. Esme Murphy, a WCCO reporter, was on the scene, where she saw ICE holding a woman on the ground.

“Please let her go! She’s pregnant!” one onlooker shouted.

“Get her off of her fucking stomach,” another said.

    Honestly, I’m surprised nobody whipped out a phone, hit record, screamed “world star” and beat his ass.

    Make a list of every single ICE officer and let the investigations begin once with madness finally ends.

    I have a feeling atleast half should be doing some jail time for crimes they have committed while hiding under the ICE name.

      Nah. I don’t think we should prosecute them. SCOTUS will just find a way to get them off the hook. Or most likely, Trump will issue a blanket pardon for them all on the way out the door.

      Instead, I’m thinking more internationally. These folks like deporting people right? Well what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Well think of all the human rights abuses happening in ICE facilities right now. If a Venezuelan national dies due to neglect in an ICE facility, that represents a crime against a citizen of Venezuela, a crime that can be prosecuted in Venezuela.

      I propose that we simply extradite ICE agents to the countries of their victims. Let them face justice there.

        The reason for them being anti abortion is because they are anti women. They are not “pro life”. Remember this. Them beating the shit out of a pregnant women and forcing women to carry a child are both the same goal.

        I’m saying this because it’s important to not waste your time trying to convince a reactionary that there is a contradiction. There is no contradiction when you remove the mask of their true ideology. It’s better to point out the truth that these are both awful forms of state violence that serve the same purpose.

        Sorry. Not directly a reply to your comment. Just something related I wanted to say.

    Maybe it would work if there was a joke allegory about some strangers living in a barn, with a new born baby whilst their country is occupied by colonialist guys that invented fasces.

    You know, Christmas.

    What in the serious fuck is wrong with ICE officers. They aren’t professionals, they are a joke.

    Threatening the crowd? I can’t even with this level of stupidity. Dumb thugs.

    I am lucky not to be in america, and I am not in that position, but if an Ice agent does this to a pregnant woman in front of me, I am sure as hell going to do something emotional in that moment.

    I am suprised we have not really seen crowds jumping small groups of Ice agents to rescue their neighbours.

      I’ve seen tons of videos where exactly that happens, some of them as little as four people walking towards them purposely sent them running. I think I’ve only seen one where they managed to get someone already handcuffed away, but tons where ICE just gets back in their cars and leave

    I hope they extra packed the snowballs so they hit like a block of ice. Ice on ICE violence. That’s what I’m here for.

        Isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think? It’s like losing your rights in a free country. It’s being pro life, but not feeding a kid. He’s done 10,000 crimes and no justice. It’s doin everything right, And still get mugged by ICE.
