"There are ICE agents dragging pregnant women in Minneapolis. They shot a praying pastor with a pepper ball in Chicago. You are apparently living the fantasy world."
Re:
The pastor situation 100%. He asserted it was multiple times he got shot.

The disabled woman "Aliya Rahman" scenario is messier.
*Apparently (per her testimony) has TBI and Autism🚨 and was not pregnant.*🚨 On her way to appointment (Hennepin County Traumatic Brain Injury Center.), she froze when ordered to move her car by several agents & leave the vehicle, which she couldn't, needed a cane.
Aliya was genuinely at the wrong place, wrong time, she wasn't obstructing on purpose.
And thus was detained because she didn't comply-- because she froze, because of her condition.
*Where ICE went wrong was the excessive force after she asked for her cane & stated she was disabled, and by omission of evidence & her own testimony, she was not pregnant. She didn't testify as such, and her legal team did not prove as such. *
She needed a cane to walk, ICE did not provide, they confiscated it. Thats bad enough. Their immediate agends was getting out of the situation via rapid-carry technique, which dragging is standard practice, it looks bad because of the context.
But military do the exact same to the injured when a shoulder carry is too time consuming in a high stakes situation. Dragging her was their method of choice of rapid-carry technique/extraction, but carrying her would've been more humane and faster than dragging dead weight.
The conduct was excessive, but even if a lie or untruth, if you're being told the detainee is pregnant allegedly & she's verbalizing for a cane. You need to breath deep & think.
However, also understand how yells & screams can blend into background noise in the field unless it's coming from allies you subconsciously whitelisted---- however if she's repeatedly asking for her cane & you proceed to drag instead of hoist or lift or carry, thats neglect.
And while she was granted hospital care, that was only AFTER she lost consciousness; her overall treatment was unacceptable.
Neither of these sources i cite mention a pregnancy, it's a lie. We shouldn't repeat things without sources or drop it on public forums without looking it up first. Then proceed to receive likes for partial misinformation, confidently wrong.
At worst you can incriminate the fact that her being pregnant was possible & the agents didn't care and kneeled on her anyway; assuming they registered the shouts.
*But in the grand scheme, this is why obstruction & "protesting" should not be conflated as the same thing. Getting in the way of federal officers then playing victim when actions have consequences have set a dangerous precedent for everyone, including the ICE Agents, to where a woman was accidentally in the way but the agents were in bulldog mode because they're used to people being in the goddamn way constantly. Because everyone wants to be a superhero in lack of actual priorities in their own boring lives that could use that same exact energy.*
When if these feddies were allowed to do the operation and leave, they would literally be gone faster. That's the reality.
This is precisely why people need to stay in their place, keep your damn cars parked where they're supposed to be, stay out the damn street, & just record, picket, and say your piece.
TL;DR _The pregnant woman situation did not involve a pregnant woman but it was still excessive; respectfully, do your research first next time._ 🚨
