ICE Shoots Projectile into kids face, destroying his eye.

ICE continues to make America great again.


ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye

Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible.

Second kid in the video, shot point-blank in the face.

These agents cannot be rehabilitated, they enjoy the violence and the cruelty, much like they enjoyed the violence on J6. Even with all the videos out there showing innocent people being swarmed, beaten and gassed there are still 40% Americans who approve of the ICE tactics according to a recent poll.

The jackets in both brutality cases display the word "Police" in large letters, with words in smaller lettering directly beneath. I tried to make out the smaller lettering in the Santa Ana video, but I was unsuccessful.

for excessive use of force, we should demand it be investigated. Why can't local law enforcement investigate it if the Feds will not?

This needs to be challenged. The Minnesota AG needs to do more than file a law suit, lawsuits take too long to adjudicate. Run your own investigation Minnesota, you just had prosecutors resign because they were told to investigate Good's partner instead of investigating a murder. Send in the state police to police ICE, do something now.

The protester, a 21-year-old Kaden Rummler, had been hit by a less-lethal round fired by an agent only feet away. He said he saw his blood pooling beneath him — “dark and thick,” and wider than his head.

Rummler pleaded with agents to call an ambulance, he said in the statement. Instead, the agents taunted him, “laughing at the fact that I would never get to see out of my left eye again,” he said.

... this is tragic, especially the taunting. He will go through life being accused of "looking at things and people" he is not looking at. And people doing double takes trying to figure out what he is looking at. The nose is a great obstacle ... My optic nerve was severed (hanging by a thread) from severe head blow in the car accident that took the lives of my best friend, his aunt and his uncle who were brother/sister. We were on our way to a Huron (SD) football game.

That and the eye strain and pain in the left eye. I get sharp pains in my left eye for no reason. Eye doctors tell me, "that is your eye trying to heal itself".

And the loss of 3 dimensionial sight. Things tend to look FLAT, but you get used to it. Depth perception will be a problem, too.

This nation need an ad spend of at least a hundred million dollars to get the message to more people about what is happening to America, and Trump's numbers will collapse.

a major blood vessel in the neck. Doctors were unable to remove some of the shrapnel from his skull and he “will have to live with metal pieces there for the rest of my life,” he said.

... On Tuesday afternoon, the department said in a statement: “This is absurd. DHS law enforcement took this rioter to the hospital for a cut and he was released that night. ... Make no mistake: Rioting and assaulting law enforcement is not only dangerous but a crime.”

So my Nextdoor feed had a lot of local responses, you wouldn’t believe the amount of people supporting ICE.

I was able to get in prior to it getting locked down. Some lady responded it won’t get better until we return to Godly teachings. I replied, you are correct, Trump supporters all need to go read the Sermon on the Mount and repent.
