The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

A 7-year-old girl died in ICE custody of dehydration.
Officials called it "unforeseen."
She asked for water three times.
That's not an accident.
That's murder by indifference.
Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis:
• Federal officials said he approached agents with a handgun in intent to “massacre” them
• Video footage shows him stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her
• The agents then pepper spray him while he’s holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other — then pull him to the ground
• Per The New York Times: “His concealed weapon was found only after he was restrained on the sidewalk.”

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.
And they executed him.
"...approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here."
This is the victim, holding a phone in his right hand before CBP assaults and murders him.
They're lying to you, spitting in the eye of everyone who can see.
A man was wrestled and beaten by multiple ICE agents before one of them shot him numerous times in Minneapolis.
This marks the third fatal shooting involving ICE since Renee Good.
Look at his little shirt buttoned up for picture day. This child is loved by a family and he deserves to be with them not locked up in concentration camp in Texas
