🚨LIVE FOOTAGE: Palestinian child waits for his mother to get up from bed, not knowing that she was killed by Israeli forces for no reason.
This is why my heart weeps for Palestine.
BREAKING: This is Gaza right now.
Israel is dropping bombs on residential buildings in the middle of the night, while families are asleep.
The genocide never paused. It never stopped.
Called it. The classic Hegelian bait and switch. Same tyranny, different delivery method. This cycle will continue. The surveillance apparatus isn’t shrinking. It’s rebranding until the public no longer notices it’s there
I FEEL LIKE THE AMERICANS ARE SEVERELY UNDERREACTING TO THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IN THE US FROM POLITICS TO FOOD HAVE BEEN POISONED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🙄
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents showed up at a work site in Brownsville, Texas, claiming to be looking for two people… and ended up illegally handcuffing TWO U.S. CITIZENS, throwing one of them against a truck, threatening to arrest him again, and scanning everyone’s faces to determine their “status.”
In the video, ICE showed up looking for two people. They asked the foreman if he knew them. He said no.
Then, they asked if they could talk to the other workers about the people they were looking for.
The foreman said, “If they want to talk to you, they can.”
And then an ICE agent tried to scan the foreman’s face to run him through their system.
The foreman told him he was not allowed to just scan his face.
The foreman then walked over to one of his workers’ trucks, where ICE agents were surrounding the work vehicles at their work site.
He asked what was going on.
He repeatedly asked who they were looking for, and told them the people they claimed to be looking for were not there.
The agent responded, “Well, we want to make sure.”
The foreman told them, “Well, we aren’t them. You all need to leave.”
And then an ICE agent threatened to arrest him.
“You need to settle down or I have to put you in cuffs.”
Except this man was not threatening them. He was not attacking them. He was not even raising his voice.
He was standing there, asking questions and telling government agents to leave his workplace, after they had already expanded their investigation beyond the two people they claimed to be looking for.
So, the ICE agent threw him against a truck and handcuffed him.
A U.S. citizen.
And after they released him, he asked for the agents’ badge numbers.
And the agent responded by threatening to handcuff him AGAIN.
The government cannot simply show up, invade your workplace, surround your vehicles, demand access to people who are not the subjects of their investigation, scan your face, and then arrest you because you object to what they are doing.
The First Amendment protects your right to question government agents and verbally protest their actions.
The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures.
And an arrest cannot simply be used as punishment because an officer does not like the fact that you are standing there, asking questions, or asserting your rights.
Then the foreman saw another person ICE had in handcuffs…
He told them they needed to let him go because he was not the person they were looking for.
The agents eventually released the person they had in handcuffs… after scanning his face and discovering that he was also a U.S. citizen.
The government is creating situations where people are expected to silently obey armed agents, who refuse to explain what they are doing… while they violate your constitutional rights… and then punishing anyone who dares to ask questions.
When the government tells you that your only options are blind obedience or punishment… you are not living in a free country.
