The last few weeks have been very strange. And at the tip of that strangeness is the recent shooting of a "bystander" to an ICE action; it really says a lot about who we've become.
I don't think the conversation should focus on who was right and wrong, but rather we should look at the bigger picture of an organization in ICE that is acting as an unchecked - and quite possibly unconstitutional - entity whose sole purpose is to remove "bad people." But they act extra judicially, with impunity, and conduct warrantless searches, all while hiding their identities. And there are very many questions about who they are targeting, because it doesn't seem to the bad people as they advertise.
And of course, there is no accountability.
This is not who we should be. I would encourage you to write to your elected official and ask them to stand up for what's right and stop this madness. There has to be a better way. And I also like to suggest that if you can find a *peaceful* protest or other means to take action, then you could do that too.
