All of the videos being posted exposing the cruel brutalities employed by these ICE agents, and the effects that those tactics have on vulnerable kids, are resulting in a groundswell of anger in all corners of America.
This is similar to what happened to the national consciousness with the brutality of the Jim Crow laws. The Post-Civil War Jim Crow laws were in effect for nearly 100 years, but it wasn't until white America saw IN THEIR OWN LIVING ROOMS young black faces, bloodied from police nightsticks and dogs.
It takes fire to melt ice, and those videos are exactly the fire we need right now!
