GoFundMe has rules against raising money for people accused of violent crimes, and there is a movement to get this campaign taken down for being in violation of GoFundMe’s own policies.

The sponsor of the page also libels Renee Good by calling her a domestic terrorist. This is also a violation of GoFundMe’s rules.

In one of the other threads, I posted about a US citizen 17-year-old Richfield, MN Target worker who was abducted from work by ICE because he’s Hispanic, and later dumped out of the vehicle bleeding miles away. Luckily it was caught on videos.

OTOH, it also means that if we _all_ dressed up in Temu Tacticool gear every time we went outside ICE would have no idea who is who…

Not sure if this has been posted here; it breaks down the locations of the parties during the three shots. It does **not** lend credibility to the ‘he fired because he’d been hit’ position:

The only way they’re making that much money is from stealing from immigrants as they search them.

They were advertising a $50,000 bonus just for signing up. Now, I know that’s a Trump promise, but that dude may not be exaggerating. Counting overtime and shit.

Apparently the signing bonus is paid over five years, $10,000 per year. So, not really a “signing” bonus.

Perhaps this is merely amusing, but if you type in “[Nazis.us](http://Nazis.us)” in your web browser, you’ll be redirected to the webpage for the Department of Homeland Security

So someone bought that domain and set it to redirect to DHS? Pretty good trick. There should be more of this.

I agree—but am troubled by the probability that many DHS employees _ **like** _ being associated with “[Nazis.us](http://Nazis.us).”

House progressives have announced a bill to defund ICE.

Chuck Schumer, meanwhile, thinks the problem is they haven’t had enough training to know that murder and terrorism are bad, but I’m sure he’s willing to negotiate to give them an extra $40 billion in exchange for nothing.

ICE keeps hurting people (often seriously including some dying) but I am completely unaware that even one ICE agent has faced any consequences for their actions.

> Kaden Rummler can be seen on video rushing to help a fellow protester at Civic Center Plaza in Santa Ana before being shot by a federal agent. He crumples to the ground in a heap, covering his face before an officer drags him away by his hoodie. Rummler’s aunt said he was left with a fractured skull and shards of plastic, glass, and metal stuck all throughout his eyes and face, and would have died if not for the six hours of surgery he went through.

This would have to be pure coincidence. I can’t think of a _single thing_ that would point to this being an act of retribution.

Not. A. Thing.
