It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role as AAG for Antitrust today. It was indeed the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role. Huge thanks to all who supported me this past year, most especially the men and women of @justiceatr

This is how ICE/Border Patrol retaliates when U.S. citizens dare to question them. A woman is sitting in her car in her own neighborhood. An ICE/Border Patrol agent comes to her window. She calmly asks a basic question, “What are you doing in my neighborhood?” His response, “I can do whatever I need to do.” She says, “No, you don’t. Record this” And that’s when it happens. The moment she tells someone to record, the agent turns to his coworkers and says, “Guys, let’s find out their status.” Let that sink in. No suspicion. No probable cause. No crime. Just punishment for speaking up. She says, “Be my guest,” and identifies them out loud, “Everyone, this is ICE.” Now the agent comes back, demanding, “What is your legal status?” She refuses. Correctly. Calmly. Repeatedly. “I don’t have to answer that.” He insists anyway. He starts to say, “I have…” then stops himself. Because he knows he doesn’t have anything. No warrant. No authority. No legal basis. This is intimidation. This is retaliation. This is ICE using the threat of detention as a weapon against civilians who observe them, film them, or question them. When she tells him he should be ashamed, he deflects with the same tired propaganda, “Oh, for all the sex offenders we’ve arrested.” She challenges him, “Show me one. Show me one you have arrested.” And suddenly, he walks away. Because this was never about public safety. It was about silencing her. ICE does this over and over again, If you film them, they threaten you. If you ask questions, they demand your “status.” If you assert your rights, they escalate. This is not law enforcement. This is a federal agency punishing people for exercising their constitutional rights. Film them. Know your rights. That’s the part that scares them most.

🚨ICE / Border Patrol are now using their vehicles as weapons against unarmed people. In this video, you can clearly see a man running on foot while an agent in a pickup truck accelerates directly at him. At the very last second, the man shifts his body, narrowly avoiding what would almost certainly have been a near-fatal impact. Instead, he’s struck and rolls, managing to get back up. And then, he’s immediately surrounded by multiple agents and detained. Let’s be absolutely clear, this was not a pursuit involving weapons, not an imminent threat. This was a federal agent driving a vehicle straight at an unarmed person. This incident is now under investigation by police in Rialto, California.

We already knew Kushner’s plans long ago

If you thought they were ever going to stop at just immigrant folks, I got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. And to quote ICE “Fuck them kids”
