ICE in Minneapolis: "We kept yelling, she's pregnant, they put their knees in her, she can't breathe, let her up"

On Monday, WCCO's Esme Murphy reported that the agents were seen taking the woman from Karmel Mall in Minneapolis.

"People were screaming to let her go," Murphy said.

"We kept yelling, she's pregnant, she's pregnant, she's pregnant," one witness recalled, "they put their knees in her, and we kept telling them she can't breathe, let her up, let her up."

According to Murphy, the woman "who was handcuffed was suddenly being dragged by one arm as the angry crowd threw snowballs and screamed at the federal agents."

They have bulletproof vests, and military garb and the neighbors have whistles and iPhones.

And I hope that over the festive season, when emotions run high and tempers fray, cool heads prevail and prevent a bloodbath.

They look at her as another bonus check, nothing more. Anyone who could do something like that is pure scum.

and it will be our primary downfall. Greed and mindless violence is destroying civilization. We need to evolve or perish.

Sickening.

Nobody in control serms to have passion for higher ideals, just money.

tend to drown out those with passion for higher ideals. Our society has enabled the greedy for far too long and set them up as something to aspire to. It has become a part of our Western mythology.

These people are despicable. I really think the reason that Trump and Republicans are trying so hard to get their dirty hands on voter information is to sic ICE on Democratic voters before an election. What ICE does to migrants can easily be done to citizens. In close elections, you only need to detain a few hundred to throw an election to Republicans. We are living in an unknown universe here, and three more years of Trump may turn the country into a living hell,

The pro-fetus crowd that voted for The Felon doesn't care about that woman or her baby, other than wanting them deported.
