ICE agent kneels on pregnant woman as bystanders hurl snowballs at him - Lemmy.World

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.

I am lucky not to me in america, and I am not in that position, but if an Ice agent does this to a pregnant woman in front of me, I am sure as hell going to do something in that moment if there is a crowd that large.

I am suprised we have not really seen crowds jumping small groups of Ice agents to rescue their neighbours.

I have seen videos of exactly that in Chicago actually. In the one, the masked assholes just get up, jump into their shitty unmarked sedan and drive off.
