ICE detain Native American--punch him repeatedly even after complying with face scan.



@LongTimeHistory
ICE detain Native American—punch him repeatedly even after complying with face scan.

Mother brought passport & birth certificate but agents didn't care—just joked that he "wasn’t really from here."

"Police can you help us?" she begs officers just watching. "We're citizens!"

Jose "Beto" Roberto Ramirez was born in the U.S.—and is a member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians located in north central Minnesota. #DemsUnited

"The arrest was streamed live on Facebook and comes a day after the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent."

"We just got swarmed up on and blocked in, and there were about 20 ICE agents who came after us, and that’s when I started recording."

"As they were scanning his face, another agent came and punches him, and they just started hitting him."

. . . but anyone who is expecting members of one law enforcement agency to protect them from the thuggish behavior of another law enforcement agency is seriously deluded. Police are inherently authoritarian in their outlook unless they are held strictly accountable for their actions and kept on a VERY short leash!

be afraid of them, even after all of these videos of biligerent agents who refuse to honor documents like passports. It's racist bullshit.

What people need to understand is that it's a huge belief among the racists that white people are the native Americans because it was white Christians who conquered this land and made it what it is. This is what they believe.

This isn't just stupidity and ignorance. Going after actual Natives is intentional.

It gets worse every day, yes - every day. I cannot believe this is our country. I don't know what it is going to take, but it has to be big, and it has to be soon.

It sounds like “next week” is no longer a far-fetched prediction.
