As always, the story Minneapolis residents are sharing is different from what ICE claims.

ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis on Monday, dragging her through the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted that the woman was pregnant.

During what was supposed to be a “targeted vehicle stop,” according to ICE officials, protesters swarmed the agents. Esme Murphy, a WCCO reporter, was on the scene, where she saw ICE holding a woman on the ground.

“Please let her go! She’s pregnant!” one onlooker shouted.

“Get her off of her fucking stomach,” another said.

    The one issue is they want that to happen. Then they can justify using Force against people as they try to do this. One of the reasons they brought national guard into many of these cities was so that way if it devolved into the use of force they had justification to start shooting immigrants.

      You are absolutely correct. I am not sure I would be able to stay that diciplined for this long.

      At some point, I expect they wont care about having an excuse and start escalating the violence anyway.

        I can guarantee they’re going to continue test late until they get to that point. They’re testing the waters to see how far Americans are willing to let it go. They’re already getting followed they’re already getting filmed that already getting the whistle brigades after them which currently are one of the best uses because it draws attention to what they’re doing they can’t do it in the secret and the fact that they started hitting these guys to snowballs and started fighting back in other ways really does help.

        If you want an example of what they’re waiting on you look at the shooting that happened at the two national guard members in Washington dc. Most likely was false flag attack and it was sponsored by the CIA because it was an ex CIA trained agent that did the shootings. And they probably paid him and his family a rather huge sum or guaranteed that his family would receive full asylum in the united states. Which I’m sure will be stripped away from them the moment they deem that he is no longer useful to them.
