A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.
Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention centre where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.
That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying immigration crackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents make arrests amid protests against what local officials have likened to a “federal invasion.”
Rahman says she was on her way to a routine appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when she encountered federal immigration agents at an intersection. Video appears to show agents shouting commands over a cacophony of whistles, car horns and screams from protesters.
You see. This is the problem. If I did anything all you would do is cheer from the sidelines. No one is willing to risk their lives for this bullshit since there will be no one brave to back them up, and so nothing will happen.
All I see is some keyboard warrior encouraging others to do violence while sitting at home god knows where in the world. You’re encouraging worse than doing nothing.
Nope.
The violent rhetoric needs to stop. You are just coming in here with bad faith arguments and imaginary conversations conjured up in your smooth brain mind.
I’m not saying to commit violence you fucking dolt; brandishing firearms is a deterrence, just like how every God damned country now is unfortunately armed with nukes. No one is going to invade North Korea. No ICE cop is going to commit suicide by attacking a group of armed peaceful protesters.
Fuck you and your pacifist bullshit, limp-dick cowardice. This is why we are all here in the first place, because we never punish Nazi/Christian-fascist sympathizers with the very same aggressive rhetoric they use everyday against us.
You idiots still think the Biden-era mealy-mouthed reach-over-the-aisle both sides meet each other, getting along skipping together through a flower field bullshit still works, and it needs to die.
