ICE shoot "less lethal" bullets at U.S. citizens—hit minor child & his mother.
"How do you feel shooting a minor and my mom?" boy asks agent.
"How good do you feel bear-spraying my dad?"
Community volunteers were just observing agents when man yells:
"He's got a gun—get down!"
ICE claims that one of the bystanders hit the window on one of their vehicles.
Photographic evidence was taken of the injuries caused by the "less lethal" ammunition.
The weapon was a compressed-air less-lethal device that fires .68-caliber projectiles.
When fired at close range it can cause: permanent blindness or severe head trauma—and in some documented cases death.
Incident occurred near Muirlands Blvd and Ridge Route in Lake Forest, California.
Rodriguezbullsprom2086 and Stopicenet don't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

JUST IN: A federal judge is encouraging his colleagues to call ICE officers in for live testimony on the witness stand, concluding that without direct scrutiny and cross-examination, routine lies will go unpunished.

Auburn, Washington. This dirty Pig beat this man’s head off the asphalt, claiming he was a carjacker. Don’t worry, he’s been put on leave with pay. So everything’s all better now - it’s just a few bad apples.

ICE Raid in North Hollywood Shows Unconscious Detainee Hauled Into SUV
In North Hollywood, California, a video filmed from an overlooking balcony captures an ICE enforcement operation in a residential neighborhood. Heavily armed agents in tactical gear have surrounded an unmarked gray SUV on a quiet street.
The most disturbing element of the footage is the detainee himself. He appears completely limp and unresponsive, as two ICE agents struggle to haul his unconscious or exhausted body into the back seat of the SUV while a third agent stands guard. The footage provides no clear indication of whether he was incapacitated prior to the arrest, during a struggle, or as a result of a medical emergency.

Talarico says one in five Texas children lives in poverty and he cannot understand why Musk would be against righting this injustice.
He could go one step further and say that the " One Big Beautiful Bill" passed by Republicans and endorsed by Musk, has caused 262,000 Texas kids to go to bed hungry at night.
Over 559,000 Texans lost SNAP benefits last year, with 53.5% of them being children.
Musk has fathered 14 children reportedly and seems to interact with them frequently, so he should know that children will cry when they are hungry.
He should be supporting Talarico but is not. But as Machiavelli says, " This is what rich and powerful people do. "

Talarico frappe dans le mille.
Il ne reproche pas simplement à Elon Musk d’être riche. Il dénonce l’accumulation démesurée de richesses alors qu’un enfant texan sur cinq vit dans la pauvreté.
Et sa question est profondément humaine : à quoi bon posséder plus qu’on ne pourrait dépenser en cent vies quand tant de gens manquent du nécessaire?

A trillionaire dropping hundreds of millions on one Senate seat while I'm out here doing math on whether I can afford eggs and gas in the same week. Money in politics isn't a theory, it's a receipt.
ira Lechner retweeted
Talarico goes scorched earth on Elon Musk. Maybe this is why Elon is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat him.
"For one of our own residents to become the world's first trillionaire while one in five Texas children live in poverty, to me, that is a spiritual sickness. To accumulate more wealth than you could possibly spend in 100 lifetimes while we have people starving in this one, to me that means we're not fulfilling our full humanity."

UPDATE: ICE officer Mario Morales has surrendered in Houston after being indicted on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Video captured Morales striking Miguel Parra Hernandez with his vehicle during an immigration enforcement operation.
Miguel was not the man ICE identified as its target. According to that man’s family, the person agents were looking for had been dead for nine years.
No badge puts an officer above the law. Immigration enforcement is not a license to harm.
Miguel Parra Hernandez and his family deserve justice.

WATCH: In an epic moment, Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom slams Republicans’ lies:
“They tell those lies everywhere. My message to Mississippians is can you fill your gas up with those lies? Can you pay your grocery bills with those lies?
Arrest the bastards?
34-year-old Darius Chappell was repeatedly tased, grabbed by his hair, and bitten by a police K-9 during his arrest in Tennessee. Just days later, he was found unresponsive in his jail cell and died at a hospital. The medical examiner ruled Darius Chappell’s death a HOMICIDE, determining that injuries sustained during his arrest caused his death.
When officers take someone into custody, they are in their care! Darius reportedly complained that his condition was worsening before his death. Were those warnings taken seriously? His death demands a FULL accounting of what happened!
