ICE agent literally threatens to kill U.S. citizen—for filming him.

"You know better! Stand back!" agent yells.

"You gonna kill me if I don't?" man asks.

"I will! — If you interfere I will!"

Same agent was filmed beating another U.S. citizen Sept. 20—sending him to hospital.

On Sept. 20, ICE agents "mistook" a U.S. citizen for a fugitive—pinned him to the pavement with a knee on his back.

Using force that left him bloodied with injuries to his head, neck, and teeth.

Witnesses say the same agent was involved in both incidents that occurred in Evanston, Illinois.

Benjamin Luhmann doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Inhumane

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Imagine a judge asking a toddler with NO lawyer if they agree to voluntary departure or want a removal order.

That's what the Trump admin is forcing kids—who are as young as 2 years old—to do in immigration courts. That's not due process. That's insane. These are KIDS. https://t.co/V342S9q1d3

Hats off the journalists at the Cornell Daily Sun. Great article about the student journalists, which I gifted for you to enjoy.

Two of the students who reported on the Cornell gang rape allegations more than a week before it became a national story vow to continue to push for transparency: “We have the right to demand safety from our university.”

Trump took taxpayer money meant for border security and used it to fund political TV ads of himself just before an election. Let's call it what it is: corruption.

Yesterday I was on CNN's Amanpour. We covered rising ICE enforcement, debunking Vance's claim of ICE "prioritizing violent criminals," the stripping of legal services for migrant kids children, and even myths about noncitizen voting. Check it out! https://t.co/T1RozWiVT1

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th..

With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.

Buried away and completely hidden out of sight in a dense forest, more than 1,600 immigrants are imprisoned here on any given day in what is the largest immigration detention center in the Northeast. https://t.co/UYJjsAYCzF

WSJ Exclusive:

The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV.

The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. https://t.co/77aZN8whX7

We traveled to the African country of Liberia to speak to Latin American deportees ICE sent thousands of miles away from their homelands.

Today, the Supreme Court allowed those “third country” deportations to continue.

Our 10-min report from West Africa:

[ABC News @ABC]

An 18-year-old man has spent more than 200 days in an immigration detention center in Louisiana, hundreds of miles from his home in Albertville, Alabama.

We have become a cruel and depraved nation. I’m so ashamed.

[Ann Marie Aliotta @amaliotta]

@priscialva Come on, America. We are better than this.

Heartbreaking. Shameful.

[Erin Burnett OutFront @OutFrontCNN]

CNN is granted access inside an immigration court hearing where dozens of children facing deportation, some as young as three years old, appealed to stay in the United States. Many of them facing the judge without an attorney representing them.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Update on Pedro Mendoza Chávez: While he was in the hospital, ICE refused to let his wife see or speak to him, and an officer told her he had fallen. Pedro, 63, says agents kicked him to the ground.

Instead of being in a hospital, he's at an ICE detention facility in Taylor, Texas.

He believes his arm is broken. He is receiving pain medication, but he needs a full medical exam today. ICE should release him immediately.

“YOU GONNA KILL ME IF I DON’T?” “IF YOU INTERFERE, I WILL\.”

A masked federal agent confirms ICE’s policy is “COMPLY OR DIE”\. This demands an investigation and accountability\.

[PAXIS\.app](https://t.co/1jbDdp5uRP) helps citizens and immigrants understand their rights and prepare for ICE encounters\. When armed agents use intimidation, that knowledge matters\. PAXIS is free and funded entirely by donations\. Help keep it accessible: [GoFundMe\.com/PAXIS](https://t.co/PR7n7ez2En)\.

September 25\. The public deserves answers: What did this agent consider “interference”? Why did he respond with a threat to kill? Will investigators secure the footage from the body camera visibly attached to his vest?

A badge should mean accountability\. Nobody should have to wonder whether recording government conduct will cost them their life\.

Record EVERYTHING\. Preserve the evidence\. Demand accountability\. Know your rights: [PAXIS\.app](https://t.co/1jbDdp5uRP)\.

This is a political Ad produced by the Federal Government. It was paid for with your tax dollars. It is propaganda. This should never happen because it is illegal, unethical and politically tone deaf.
