DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) that “videotaping ICE law enforcement and posting photos and videos of them online is doxing our agents,” and added: “We will prosecute those who illegally harass ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law.”

In one incident, ICE targeted a Georgia-based journalist, Mario Guevara, for videotaping enforcement operations. Guevara has legal work authorization in the U.S., according to his attorneys, and has been held in ICE detention for more than two months.

    Spot on, they will tell you ‘peacefully’ and ‘with civility’ is the only way to acceptably oppose what are entirely unacceptable circumstances. They (both the fascists and their enablers, and paid opposition) need us to respond to unabashed barbarity and inhumanity meekly because they know the other way actually works. People need to read about how rights were won literally any time in human history, and I assure you it wasn’t quietly.
