The United States sure is a shithole country.

There's a court order to not be fucking doing that. Report those via the link above. (I know it's a link shortener, I learned this from ACLU yesterday.)
Oh a court order? Glad this administration cares so much what courts think and order.
What is a court order going to actually do? Are they going to arrest people for defying the orders? Place them in jail for defying their orders? No? then those orders are a useful as the paper they are printed on.
Oh, believe me, I get it.
It is my firm belief that the third box (justice) has failed, because the fascists are doing whatever they want right now, every day, every minute, and the courts are reactive, compromised, slow, and do not apply sufficiently deterrent consequences.
I expressed my extreme frustration very clearly by asking "What are the consequences for violating this court order, and when do they take effect?" and the responses I received were wholly unsatisfactory. I pointed that out as well. I knew that would be the case; I was posing the question in order to elicit the unsatisfactory replies, and then pointing out how bad those replies were, so that the other people in attendance might at least see that perspective, or know that other people share it.
However, there was no explanation as to why Veraza and his family, who had decided to abort their shopping trip after seeing the agents' presence, were pepper sprayed.
They don't need to justify their violence. Their decision making chart - is violence okay:

As someone living in a Chicago suburb that has been targeted hard the last couple of weeks, this chart is ALL ok. Color doesn’t matter. You there witnessing? You get the gas!
They’re not put there to make arrests, they’re put there to provoke a reaction. This is the Jan. 6th group in masks.
Chuck Schumer this is your fault.
You're not wrong, but I'm pretty sure it would be fairer to say the majority of the blame lies at the feet of those actively pursuing and perpetrating this, i.e. ICE, Trump, and the Republicans.
It's not all his fault. There's a lot of blame to go around. Schumer is just one small spoke among many in the wheel that the American people are being ground under.
