U.S. citizen was running errands. After ICE stop, she ended up at the hospital instead (Sen. Wyden's office)



A U.S. citizen suffered a concussion, a torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs after immigration officers stopped her on a Salem street, broke her car window, pulled her out and then left abruptly after discovering her passport in her purse, advocates said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped the woman about 11 a.m. last Thursday after apparently racially profiling her, said Sandra Hernández, director of Latinos Unidos Siempre, a local youth immigrant support group.

The woman, who is Latina, asked Hernández not to release her name because she was still in shock. Oregon’s largest labor union, SEIU Local 503, later released a statement identifying her only by her first name, Maria. The woman is a member of the union, which represents some state workers, home care givers and other health care workers.

Maria was on her way to pay rent and to buy a cake for her grandson’s birthday when she was stopped, the union said.

It's helped get me out of a ticket, and left the insurance company no way to try to get out of paying when I hit a deer and when someone ran a red light in front of me.

I'm thinking about getting another to put in the back window.

and blessed ICE with all the strength of his hatred. This woman was mugged by ICE and by inference by the entire Republican Fascist Party and all goddam 77,000,000 of us who voted for it.

A reckoning is coming, though.

Have faith because that about all that's left. Vote for Dems, campaign for Dems, keep abreast and alert and don't let the media tell you it's gonna be alright if we all just keep quiet about it.

especially now that their tactics and actions are widely known.

Of course, they are targeting minorities, poor people, people at work, women and children. I doubt they'd try their shit on one of those window-tinted coal-rolling monster trucks with an AR in every slot of the gun rack.

I'd sure like to see that, though.

violently drag you out of your vehicle, cause you serious injuries, and then leave you lying in the street after they find out they f*cked up, without so much as a sorry. And this garbage gets their feelings hurt when people call them Nazis?
