We've received reports of two incidents of local residents being detained by ICE without any real cause or warrants. One in Albany, one in Clifton Park. The recklessness of these masked agents amounts to legalized racial profiling. They're not following protocols or laws, just following orders not so much from embattled Homeland Insecurity secretary Kristi Gnoem, but from White House deputy chief of staff and head troll Stephen Miller, whose raging xenophobia fuels this.
Plain & simple, the masks have to come off. No more hiding. Accountability is required. Now.
Meanwhile, two journalists were arrested for simply covering anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis last week.
One, Georgia Fort, was arrested in Minneapolis. The other, ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon, was in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards, which take place Sunday, when he was picked up. The Department of Injustice, ignorant of the fact that the videos recorded by witnesses of the murders of Megan Good & Alex Pretti, as well as the protests at a Minneapolis church, bear far more weight than their attempts at rewriting history, have no basis for either arrest.
In Los Angeles, actress & activist Jane Fonda spoke out in support of Lemon.
Video from Forbes' YouTube channel:
The solution is simple. Subpoena Miller, bring him into a Congressional hearing, and have him, under oath, explain himself. With the risk of perjury hanging over his head, he'd have no choice but to confess. We think.
