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.
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
