ICE is shooting people now.

Your reminder that overstaying a visa (which accounts for the majority of undocumented immigrants) is NOT a crime.

It's not even a misdemeanor.

It's a civil infraction, like jaywalking.

#AbolishICE
Crossing the border without a visa is a misdemeanor. (But only made so after 9/11.) It's on the same level as possessing weed.

Even in felony cases, it's inappropriate for law enforcement to use deadly force unless the suspect represents an active, violent threat.
If you don't think it's appropriate for someone to be shot for jaywalking, make some noise. Don't let this get buried.

Wow. This went viral. So I guess I'm supposed to plug something now.
