34. Are you referring to the mother in Chicago picking up her children at school?

I caregive for an elderly man who has dementia and luckily he's Democratic and has been all his life. I was telling him about this particular incident and he starts laughing and like he didn't believe me and asked me where this happened at. Some of what's happening today is so insane I don't think that he believed me until I showed him this video.

I had to explain it's happening all over the country. I had to use my phone to look up this particular event and I explained that the mom was in her locked vehicle in the pick up lane at an elementary school when this happened. She had I.D. but ICE didn't care until they threw her on the ground first.

I also told my client that I'm banking that most ICE agents are pardoned insurrectionists without any LEO training.

ICE was just in Elmwood in Buffalo about a day or two ago and Buffalo is a diverse neighborhood. I would imagine since Buffalo leans Democratic that they're still in Buffalo harassing people.

I believe that anyone who is protesting these violent goons are what our beloved John Lewis would refer to as "Good Trouble."
I applaud and support them for fighting against racism.
