Looking for a bathroom. Got shot instead.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Last month, Border Patrol shot a US citizen who was drunk and looking for a bathroom. They detained for no reason at all. **According to DHS,** just like Alex Pretti, they disarmed him first, but fell over and yelled "gun, gun," which led to another agent to shoot him.

ICE says they apologized to Miguel. Miguel says they didn’t.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
ICE's latest lies about its operations led me to this case where agents profiled and arrested this US citizen. The kicker at the end is: ICE says, "We took him home and apologized." Miguel says: "None of that actually happened." They lie about EVERYTHING. No matter how small

Killed by an agent nobody will name
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
We still have no idea which anonymous masked agent in an unmarked car decided to shoot and kill this man who had lived peacefully in this country for ~4 decades and was traveling to work to support his US citizen family and serve his US citizen customers.
David J. Bier @David_J_Bier
Video appears to show no damage to the vehicle of the man ICE killed in Houston, who had lived in America peacefully for 35 years, despite ICE's claim that he "rammed" an ICE vehicle and "tried to run over" an agent. These people are not credible. https://t.co/N7GqoW7ycq

The “ramming” that left no dent

Video shows the moments before ICE shot a worker who lived for 35 years in the United States. It appears to show it was ICE attempting to initiate contact with his vehicle, not the worker attempting to "ram" ICE agents

Border Patrol's excuse just got debunked
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
A new court filing suggests that Border Patrol lied about the basis of a traffic stop that led to the shooting of a US citizen, a German tourist, and a Border Patrol agent. Only when cases go to court do we find out about DHS lies and its unlawful tactics come to light.

Stopped on the way to work. Never came home.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
This has all the signs of a racial profiling stop gone wrong. This man had lived in our country for three and a half decades, peacefully and working hard to help Americans, when ICE stopped him on his way to work and then killed him. It never needed to happen.

ICE’s “oversight” office is coming for your tweets, not its agents
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
The ICE Office of Professional Responsibility, which is supposed to be the oversight body investigating abuses by ICE agents, is now investigating and threatening Americans who write social media posts and emails critical of ICE. 131 investigations are now open.

Banned move. No badge number. No answers.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
DHS used a banned chokehold to strangle a father unconscious in front of his wife and 1-year-old US citizen child. DHS is incompetent, unprofessional, and violent, but victims can't even find out which anonymous masked agents strangled them.

Read the study, not the headline
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
The headline is false, and the paper actually shows that illegal immigration was good for the US budget and Americans overall.
New York Post @nypost
Biden's illegal immigration surge triggered 30% rise in home prices, $ 20% in rents, Fed paper finds https://t.co/c6gi29C736

A conservative asks the question ICE won’t
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
A conservative asks: "He's worked his butt off, has built a business, is thriving in a niche, and he is a valuable asset for our community. How is there not a way for him to be legal?" THAT is the question everyone should be asking. We need ways for people to be legal.

This is distressingly similar to the occasional long lists of police lies, abuses, and unjustified killings published by Radley Balko.
