A 23-year-old American was shot last March in South Padre Island. ICE’s involvement in the shooting was not disclosed until this week.

I have to wonder how many more murders ICE is covering up.

    No one’s claiming black and brown people aren’t disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. I’m saying the argument that “no one cares when it’s a brown person” is patently false, and that the government-sponsored murders that occur on video are the ones that elicit a strong reaction, regardless of skin color.

      If ppl cared so much it wouldn’t keep happening. Its completely disingenuous to pretend that black/brown life isnt treated with short worth.

      If it wasn’t Trump wouldn’t have been elected twice. Action dictates whether ppl actually give a damn and a few protests and riots within the 30+ ive been alive screams collectively America (specifically white America) doesnt care
