This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
On this day in 2020, George Floyd was murdered by a white police officer who knelt on his neck for 9 & a 1/2 mins in a video that shocked many, even moving people to act to end racism. That pursuit still matters.
Rest in peace George Floyd🙏🏾
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just kidnapped 2 high school students as they waited for their school bus.
Max is 15. Israel is 18. They were standing outside their home in Mississippi, waiting for the bus like any normal morning, when unmarked cars pulled up, surrounded them, and agents zip-tied them in front of their family and classmates.
These kids were in the U.S. on student visas. Their host family had legal guardianship paperwork signed by a judge…
and ICE agents shrugged and said it “meant nothing.”
That’s where we are… paperwork signed by a judge means nothing, and a bureaucratic technicality is enough to justify armed agents grabbing unaccompanied TEENAGERS off the street.
Because that’s what this comes down to. A school transfer. Somewhere in that process, their visa status changed without them knowing, without their guardians being notified, and without any chance to fix it.
In any system that respects due process, you get a notice, you get time to respond, you get a chance to correct the issue.
This administration skipped all of that and went straight to detention.
And then they separated them.
A 15-year-old child taken away from his legal guardians, moved out of state, and for days, his family didn’t even know where he was.
So, let’s be honest about what this administration is doing…
They are creating a system where your legal status can disappear without warning, where you can be detained before you even know there’s a problem, and where families can be separated instantly with no transparency, and no accountability.
That is a direct erosion of due process, and it should alarm anyone who understands what constitutional protections are supposed to mean.
Two kids went outside to wait for the bus… and this administration decided to kidnap them.
A man in Alabama is set to be executed this Thursday for a murder he did not commit.
