CONTEXT (I think everyone got it, but just in case)...Noem encouraged the public to thank officers for Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Do something nice for them, buy them lunch, she said during a briefing about ICE operations in New York City on Thursday morning.

A woman who was recently released from custody by immigration agents described the horrifying way she was treated by President Donald Trump's immigration agents during a stop last month - one that resulted in her further disabled - and the terrible conditions inside the Minneapolis-area ICE facility.
Aliyah Rahman, an autistic South Minneapolis resident with a traumatic brain injury who needs a wheelchair for mobility, told lawmakers during a Congressional forum on Tuesday that she was stopped by ICE agents while on her way to a doctor's appointment. She said agents violently arrested her, including threatening multiple times to "break her f------ window" when she did not immediately comply out of shock, and slashing her seat belt with what appeared to be a hunting knife. She said they also dragged her by her arms, face down, from her car to an ICE vehicle, even while she was screaming at them about suffering from disabilities.
"I now cannot lift my arms normally," Rahman said. She claimed the agents never read her rights, and the Trump administration never charged her with a crime.
The conditions she witnessed inside the Minneapolis-area ICE facility were even more concerning, Rahman said. Outside of the center, she saw hordes of "black and brown bodies" being mushed along by screaming federal agents.

(15,618 posts)Their first EO should be to terminate every LICE hire from Jan. 20th, 2025 to present.
And their second action is to inform the AG that nothing is more important than prosecuting every last one of these motherfuckers from top to bottom and all prosecutions will be done in DC.

(27,800 posts)It's odd, though, that the article identifies her as "an autistic woman," when the disability concerned is actually a traumatic brain injury. Bad reporting. Autism and traumatic brain injury are two very different conditions. In no way does that excuse the actions of the ICE thugs, but the article and the headline should have been clarified that there were two different conditions involved, and that autism was secondary to the need for a wheelchair. I question whether autism was a factor. in the first place.
