The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

3/ 100+ Americans have been held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. They say they were profiled — detained because of their skin color, accents or jobs. “ICE isn’t looking for criminals. They’re looking for Latinos,” one said.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

Imagine the rest of us dealt with mistakes at work so casually. Teacher: Sends wrong kid to the principal, realises, shrugs shoulders “meh” Surgeon: operates on wrong leg… stitches up leg, pretends op done on correct leg “meh” Waiter: wrong drink? Brings fresh wrong drink “meh”

And they're doing this in our name, paid by our tax dollars, egged on by our malevolent President, the Stalker in Chief. VOTE blue on Nov. 3 so we can end this.

ICE knew who Vasquez was before they ever put him in their truck. They drove off with him just to fuck with him, because they didn't like him and they could do that shit, before they abandoned him on the side of the road, threw his wallet out of their car, and drove away.

ncnewsline.com‘They basically just kidnapped me’: US citizen taken by Border Patrol in Cary • NC NewslineAs Border Patrol agents swept the Triangle area, a construction worker born in the U.S. was among those detained.

They were mad that “according to current Fish & Game regulations”, they had to “throw this one back in the water”, so they spitefully did so as maliciously as they thought they could get away with. 🖕🤬

this is remigration. Immigration reform is needed to ensure obviously keeping limits on immigration and background checks since open borders is a terrible idea. ICE is acting like a paramilitary, that is not acceptable

"Pigs" has never been more accurate; just absolute filthy fuckin' animals. "DUUUUUH, I THROW STUFF ON GRPOUND, ME DICK BIG,DUH-HUUUUH DUUUHHH" I've said it before and I'll say it again: venal, sniveling, gutless cowards, every single last one of them. Overgrown snotty teenagers. Pathetic.

This is how they treat US citizens on camera, imagine being an immigrant with no way to record. These people are monsters.

5/ Hundreds of Americans were also held while they were engaging in their First Amendment rights. 60+ were held while they were filming.

6/ Others were arrested while trying to protect colleagues. Quentin Williams, a staffer at Minneapolis' Roosevelt High, was trying to help a teacher when he was shoved by Greg Bovino and tackled by agents. He was charged with assault, but like others, his case was dismissed.

The fact his fellow officer had step in to stop his impulsive move???? This ice agent should be fired. Who knows what would have happened if his fellow officer hadn’t stopped it.

These ANIMALS are acting with MALICE They want us to die, they want to inflict harm They are looking for any reason to finally shot their guns. These are people that need to be investigated when the tables turn. They should not be allowed to open carry or interact as law enforcement

These fucking Nazis need to face justice. Every last one, at minimum, needs to be permanently removed from society.

They hate brown and black people and want a white Christian nationalist society. ICE “agents” are violent, uneducated thugs, many pardoned J6ers and white supremacists. Top thug Homan & Stephen Miller set quotas and bounty payments per head. And so, the brutal kidnappings and killings began.
