The sheriffs’ union spent thousands to cast the deputy at Ward 86 as a hero after social worker Alberto Rangel was stabbed to death.

Paid posts flooded social media despite reports that clinic staff actually stopped the attack.

@MySystolic I'm dying at ID working more than IM and getting paid less after fellowship

You never really hear panicked stories about cops being exposed to fentanyl anymore. Almost like it was a completely fake crisis invented by law enforcement and perpetuated by the media while Biden was in office.

Alex Pretti likely directly saved more lives in 5 years as an ICU nurse than any law enforcement officer will in their entire career.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

People in the custody of law enforcement officers (LEO) have a right to medical care, including in the ICU.

As clinicians we we need to know:
- LEO is not a surrogate decision maker
- LEO have no right to medical info
- we can demand LEOs leave the room and remove restraints

i.c.e. was performing forced hysterectomies on migrant women just a few years ago. just a deeply evil institution

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

Conflicting info on whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"

ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isnt one agency; its infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.

[Brandon Streussnig @BrndnStrssng]

So cool how the party line is now "Don't approach an ICE agent, in fact don't even look at them, if you don't want to be murdered in the street." Feral pigs unfit for normal society.

[Just Ken @YoungerPope]

I don’t know, somehow even more upsetting this guy was an RN. Fucking illiterate nazis capping someone who lived to help people.

An ICU nurse is worth more than the entirety of ICE

[Minnesota DFL @MinnesotaDFL]

A colleague of Alex Pretti has confirmed that he was an ICU nurse and VA worker.

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

abolishing ice doesn’t need any special political maneuvering. it’s a 23 year old paramilitary that the president can use as a personal military to terrorize cities that didn’t vote for him. they sell regime change wars with less justification. come on.

[Allie @searobbing]

Worth repeating that they torture rape and kill even more people in their camps than they do out on the street. It is an utterly irredeemable institution and the same goes for anyone who has ever supported it. https://t.co/9BmKChGT21

idk, im not a piece of shit

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

I just watched a group of armed ICE officers beat a man on the ground before executing him in broad daylight. Abolition of the agency is the moderate position.

[Cesar Lopez, MD, PhD @AltBrutus]

Abolish ICE now

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

ICE murdered a Cuban immigrant in detention and then lied about it. Medical Examiner confirms that victim'si njuries consistent with witnesses saying they saw guards strangling Carlos Lunas Campos to death.

ICE murdered a farm worker
