You can't protest too much because we know what happens if we do. ICE uses excessive force. “They’d beat the heck out of you, and they or they murder you. Racial and economic injustice has built mistrust in everybody. ICE acts more like an occupying army than community helpers.
Doesn’t look like many cared.
