The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.
🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.
In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.
And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.
To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.
That’s how panic starts.
And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”
Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.
They are supposed to de-escalate situations.
Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.
When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.
Today, ICE murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. Once again, a family, friends, and community are left carrying the unimaginable weight of a life taken. There are no words that can fully honor the gravity of this moment or the profound loss.

ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.
This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.

It's great how vocal people have been about loving Mexico, Mexican culture, and Mexican people following the world cup, but it's important to be equally vocal about protecting Mexican lives against ICE terrorizing our communities, kidnapping and murdering. Demand consequences
He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars. There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, the witnesses in his van have been detained. His family learned of him being killed by 🧊 through social media, not law enforcement, not the hospital. They recognized his voice calling for help on a post.

Lorenzo Salgado, un padre de familia, un obrero de la construcción de 52 años, fue fusilado brutalmente por el ICE de Trump ayer en Houston, Texas (EEUU).
Lorenzo era propietario de un negocio y había estado en el país durante más 35 años.... Trump no está deportando "criminales", está deportando y matando a trabajadores solo por su color de piel y su origen de nacimiento.
