ICE agents from Trump’s Secret State Police violently detained peaceful protesters in Evanston; Jennifer Moriarty recounts being grabbed, packed into an overfilled vehicle, and witnessing assaults. Agents in Evanston, Illinois, on Chicago’s NorthShore abducting landscapers, assaulting dissenters after a car crash, and stuffing three civilians into an overfilled vehicle; Jennifer was detained and “grabbed by the neck.”
An SUV made an erratic turn and braked abruptly, deliberately creating a crash with a young woman. Jennifer was grabbed by the neck and thrown down as she approached to film.“As soon as I walked up, an agent grabbed me by my neck and threw me back and threw me to the ground.” The assault occurred before she could even start recording, signaling intent to prevent evidence gathering. “I didn’t even get an opportunity to hit record when he grabbed me by the neck and threw me down.” Video shows a person pinned and punched repeatedly: “One person was pinned on the ground and just punched in the head again and again.”
The rationale for grabbing Jennifer? It appears to be nothing other than her visible dissent and intent to document.
God forbid they find their Heydrich. As long as they only have their Himmler, we have a chance.
The only way out is through, via transparency and civic resistance.
