This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

@ruthz.bsky.social Just for completeness, there are even reports in regular media about the madness.

Not that it would be okay even then, but the ICE idiots seem to have got the wrong guy (as in not the one they looked for). But as my local law student explained it yesterday to me, #Trump 's escalation kind of makes sense in the US system of escalating, draconian justice. Even El Salvador makes sense (have you checked how much a maximum security federal prisoner costs?)

Lawyer: Federal agents detain Guatemalan man, 29, with no criminal record

Immigration agents blocked the car that he and his wife were driving in and smashed a window to detain him without presenting a warrant.
