"If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government"....now THAT'S a rallying cry!

And here's hoping Democrats stand strong in their demands for ICE reform!

ThankYou.

I am posting this again, for those who may not yet have listened to the testimony

Democratic Sen. Blumenthal (D-CN) and Rep. Garcia (D-CA) held a forum on the violent use of force by DHS agents. Including victim testimony. I could not find individual clips for all.

Full hearing .https://www.youtube.com/live/Oyb4SdzLriU?si=5HBRWpoXFC-K_4OI.

Aliya Rahman, a Minneapolis resident who was dragged out of her car by ICE agents, while she was screaming that she has autism and a brain injury. Despite asking for medical treatment and access to a lawyer, she was held in an interrogation room until she blacked out. .https://youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?si=HAsARpObVa7eEJq1.

Marimar Martinez describes being shot 5 times by CBP agent, being rushed in and out of a hospital - still bleeding - and to being falsely charged with ramming Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum's SUV

Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum, who is from Maine, is accused of jumping out of his SUV and shooting Marimar Martinez five times. He later bragged about the shooting to his friends in text messages and drove the SUV back to Maine after the shooting despite that it was evidence. .https://wgme.com/news/local/chicago-woman-shot-by-maine-border-patrol-supervisor-seeks-video-release-ice-marimar-martinez-charles-exum

Watching her testimony is heartbreaking. The people who perpetrated these horrors should all stand trial and be jailed for their crimes against humanity.

Totally agree.

It was so painful and unbearable. Just unconscionable.

THIS is beautiful, Steve. Thank you.

And I just can't take it any more...I want to ram the gates of the WH w/ my mobility scooter.. it's that I know I'd be killed or harmed more than the gates IF I could get that far because all the construction is near them. "Thou shalt not kill" is now being erased from all the schools that display the 10 that Moses got. My Moses.. not Scarlett's tho' I like him and he'd be suitable. Mike Johnson and all the other cross-wearing of the regime and all those who support just forgot what it meant. Nope. Just gonna go and watch PBS.
