18. ICE Killing
Thu Jan 8, 2026, 12:38 PM
Thursday


There once was a scene in Minneapolis night,
Where badges behaved without training or sight.
They trembled like kids,
After pulling the lid
On a life they had taken in fright.

An agent stood pale by the blood he had drawn,
The crowd knew at once she was already gone.
They hustled him fast,
From the wreck of the past,
Into SUVs—then were gone by the dawn.

No hands rushed to help, no CPR tried,
Though a doctor stood ready and pleaded outside.
They barred her away,
Let the long minutes stay,
While a wounded soul slowly died.

Fifteen minutes passed—count them, each one a sin,
While the sirens were waiting to even begin.
When help finally came,
Blocked by cars left in shame,
They carried her out by her limbs, limp and thin.

They called it defense, but the witness said no,
That story collapses the more that you know.
What she saw with her eyes
Strips the lie of disguise—
This wasn’t protection; it was a death blow.

Now Heller can’t sleep, can’t unsee what was done,
A life changed forever; there’s no moving on.
She speaks so the dead
Are not buried by threadbare lies spread—
Because silence would make her complicit as one.
