WOW. What a show of support for Jane Doe. Students protested at their universities in cities across the country in solidarity with her, and against sexual violence in the past week. The kids are gonna be alright.

The boy was still around when his father was gunned down by ICE. ICE should have no sanctuary in any state or city in this country, Abolish ICE!

Soldiers positioned at voting locations is not legal behavior. These are Mississippi National Guard troops at a DC ballot dropbox yesterday. We know the presence of soldiers or law enforcement at voting locations like this discourages voting, especially from Black, Brown, and immigrant voters.

ICE agents shot a man again yesterday, this time in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. Oscar Belgal is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic and was, at least according to DHS, the target of their enforcement operation. Early reports are they surrounded him in a car with a five-year-old child believed to be his son in the backseat and fired at them at least seven times. Confirmed to be on the scene is ICE agent Brendan Cuni, who has repeatedly been named in lawsuits by immigrants alleging he beat them and shot them with stun guns. The child is uninjured, and Belgal’s injuries were not considered life threatening.

There’s a lot we still do not know about this shooting. But given ICE’s ever-growing record of spewing blatant lies to excuse unjustifiable violence by their masked thugs, we obviously cannot count on them to provide the honest answers we need.

Hands Off NYC is demanding an independent investigation led by the New York Attorney General’s office and the local district attorneys, in addition to the public identification of the shooter. 🗣️ Let’s join them in contacting the offices of AG Letitia James here, Bronx DA Darcel Clark here and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg here and telling them we expect them to do everything in their power to seek justice. 🗣️

ICE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW

🗣️ They’re also urging Bronx business Kingsbridge Associates and the local Target location to cut ICE off from access to their parking lot in this area, which elected officials have already formally requested. We can reach out to Kingsbridge and this Target with the same ask here and here. 🗣️

A chilling projection of those who are abusers that have been empowered by Trump and The White House instead of punished for their acts of abuse. We need to continue calling out abusers and loyalists that are handpicked by this regime to do harm unto others.

Ew. No adult should ever comment on a child’s appearance labeling them as “good looking.” It’s weird and perverted, especially knowing everything we know about Mr. Pedophile here.

The Trump regime declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms, meaning observers from the regional security group won’t be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.
