The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
BREAKING: ICE goons illegally choked out a US citizen 10th-grader, stole his cellphone after he filmed them and then SOLD IT in a shocking show of GANGLAND behavior!
Arnoldo, a 16-year-old from Houston, Texas, was abruptly dropped off at his home after he and his undocumented father were arrested by ICE. His shirt was shredded and his neck was heavily bruised.
ProPublica interviewed the family, and what they found was appalling.
“Uncertain what exactly had happened to him, his sister Maria Bazan took him to Texas Children’s Hospital, where staff identified signs of the chokehold and moved him to the trauma unit. Hospital records show he was given morphine for pain and that doctors ordered a dozen CT scans and X-rays, including of his neck, spine and head,” writes Nicole Foy and McKenzie Funk in their damning report on ICE’s widespread use of illegal chokeholds.
“Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center,” making it clear that the agents had stolen his phone and then sold it for personal profit.
Arnoldo reported the incident to the Houston Police, who “were skeptical of the account and their own ability to investigate federal agents.” They have not contacted the family since.
The family says that DHS threatened to press charges against Arnoldo for “assault” against the ICE agents, because apparently he elbowed them at one point while being CHOKED OUT, unless his father deported himself. He is now in Mexico, and Arnoldo is without his father.
Kristi Noem’s right-hand liar Tricia McLaughlin had the nerve to say “the federal law enforcement officer graciously chose not to press charges.”
Every day, we get a new show of shocking and wildly illegal behavior by Trump’s thugs, who are behaving like the gangs that Trump and the right-wing fearmonger over so frequently.
Just one of these incidents should be grounds for a top-to-bottom investigation and reforms in the department; their daily occurrence should be grounds for its entire dissolution and replacement with entirely new personnel, and criminal prosecutions for all accused of crimes against the American people.
They shot her 3 TIMES IN THE HEAD as she was fleeing & then DENIED to let a doctor at the scene help and 15 minutes later blocked an ambulance with their vehicles. This is CLEARLY murder.
A Black woman went to the ER saying she couldn’t breathe - and minutes later, she collapsed outside the hospital after white staff called police to remove her. This is the story of 57-year-old Barbara Dawson, who died after repeatedly telling clinicians she was still in distress.
