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.

A Sunday morning thread:

I was talking to a friend who's a white, evangelical Christian. "I'm worried you've become bitter and wrathful, esp about the church," he said.

I am angry, I said.

But it's not bitterness, it's the anger of hurt & betrayal, anger against injustice.
See, I *believed* Christians when they said life mattered. I took them at their word.

I *believed* white Christians when they said they cared about racial justice.

When they said they cared about the Other, I thought they did.
Because I care.

I care that we're traumatizing a generation of immigrant kids. I care that we're sending refugees - many of whom lost everything because of policies and interventions from our government - back home to likely death.

1) News Roundup! Wall, Expedited Deportations, Republicans Women Love PDJT, Democrat Sees How Hateful His Party Is, Budget Deal Reached, Who Americans Are, Video Tweeted By PDJT, PM of Pakistan Visited the White House, Hannity, Tom Fitton, First Step Act, Generation Z Sleepover,
2) Secretary Pompeo, Fake News.....

Fake News is continuing to run with their BS that our President is getting nothing done with the Wall on the southern border. They give him no credit for replacing two wooden sticks that a two year old could cross through with barriers that
3) are 18 to 30 feet high.

I actually love the fact that they run with this BS. Americans understand exactly what our President is doing. If this makes the Left, Democrats, MSM etc. sleep at night, that is a win in my book. They are less likely to try and interfere with future

I have arrived at CPAC. Today’s first session features Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Mark Meadows and Matt Schlapp. They are saying that there is no collusion. The session is called Marketing Marxism: There’s Nothing New About the Green New Deal.
Matt Schlapp says that people say Trump is dishonest, but what’s more honest than going in front of a huge rally with lots of cameras and telling people what he really thinks about tough issues?
How much CPAC should I tweet?

Let’s have some truth bombs before tonight’s address:

#NoWall Fact 1:
Illegal border crossings are way down

In the early 2000’s, 1.3-1.6 million people were apprehended crossing the border.

2018? <400,000

cbp.gov/newsroom/stats…

#TrumpAddress
#NoWall Fact 2:
Undocumented Immigrants are not causing a crime wave at the border, in fact the southern border counties are among the safest in the country!

#BoycottTrumpsAddress

washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
#NoWall Fact 3:
The majority of undocumented immigrants DO NOT sneak across the border, they are people who came to the US legally and overstayed their visa. A wall does NOTHING to address this.

29% of immigrants have a college degree, similar to American-born counterparts at 30%.
48% of #immigrants who have entered the U.S. after 2010 have a degree.

#Immigrants make up 5% of the U.S. prison population while representing only 7% of the total U.S. population.
Contrary to @FoxNews @WhiteHouse #AlternativeFacts & #FakeNews, immigrants are NOT more likely to commit a crime than the native-born population.
#Resist @Trump
#Immigrants participate in the U.S. labor force at a higher (slightly) rate than native-born Americans & earn consistently less than native-born workers. 25M+ immigrants are workforce members.

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
