Video circulating online alleges an ICE agent sprayed a 15-year-old girl in the face with pepper spray in Minnesota. The girl appears to panic and lash out before her mother intervenes, yet agents still threaten arrest. Her mother then guides her to the car to go to the ER.
BREAKING: ICE threw tear Gas into a Minneapolis vehicle with an African-American family and a six month old baby inside. The baby stopped breathing.
Anybody who stands for this crap needs to re-examine their patriotism.
Please don’t give these horrible people a reason to escalate even further. That is what they want.
An ICE prosecutor in Dallas, James Rodden, who was previously exposed for running a white-supremacist X account praising Hitler and calling America a “White nation,” is quietly back in immigration court. After the Texas Observer revealed his online activity last year, he was pulled from court schedules and Congress demanded an investigation. Immigration and Customs Enforcement promised a review within 120 days. That deadline blew past with zero public outcome.
Now Rodden has resurfaced at the prosecutor’s table, badge on, no explanation given. ICE refuses to comment. The account is still active, just locked. Bottom line: a government lawyer who openly promotes racist ideology appears to be prosecuting immigrants again, with no transparency, no accountability, and no evidence that ICE ever did what it claimed it would do.
Same system. Same silence. Same bullshit.

@Cadno@therecount Yeah, who knows how the moderators meant it, but “modern” refers to early to mid 19th century, and post-WWII would be “contemporary.” If we’re using the more scholarly connotations of these words, Mamdani was the only one who understood the prompt.
