🚨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.
When Charlie Kirk was killed, people said he was a father taken who didn’t deserve to be murdered for doing what they love etc.
This week, two unarmed, undocumented fathers were killed by ICE
Where’s that same outrage? Does our humanity end at immigration status?
The man shot and killed by ICE in Biddeford, Maine has been identified as a 26-year-old from Colombia.
He was reportedly authorized to work in the US and had been issued a Social Security Number.
I need everyone to differentiate Keith Porter Jr’s murder bc it is an egregious example of the times we are living in- he wasn’t murdered by ICE during an immigration action nor protest. A random man murdered him in his own yard &used his position as ICE agent to get away with it
this man resembles so many of our fathers, our uncles, not just in appearance and hard work, but in his role as a loving and present father and husband. this hurts so bad. fuck ICE forever
