Hearing on DHS Immigration Enforcement Tactics

Tuesday, February 03, 2026

The victim's stories are unbearable to hear. ICE/DHS agent's behavior inexcusable. We have full on state sponsored terrorism directed right at us, and it HAS to end. ICE facilities need to be closed down. ICE abolished. And that's only the start of what must happen.

The testimony from the victims of ICE/DHS was the most riveting and infuriating testimony I have ever heard.
There is no excuse for what is being done in our name. None. Absolutely shocking.

Thank you for posting, Yav.

There is no "fixing ICE or DHS" other than abolishing them and restoring the old INS under the DOJ, the way it was before 9/11.

After the 1961 Bay of Pigs disaster, a sinister Eisenhower-Nixon project reluctantly inherited by "Camelot," JFK said "CIA should be cast into the four winds." [sic].

Shortly afterwards, former POTUS Harry S Truman wrote an Op-Ed in WaPo saying that CIA should be split into two organizations: One simply for analysis and one separately as a WWII-style "OSS" agency with a different chain of command.

I recommend listening/watching this testimony:
Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

This one I find reading the transcript more engaging and I can follow the events better:
US Citizen Marimar Martinez describes being shot 5 times by CBP agent

"On Friday, I was teaching the young children at the Montessori school, and we were singing and dancing and getting ready for spooky season preparing for activities to do the following week, and on Saturday my own government was calling me a domestic terrorist. and I was in federal detention centers. with the bullet holes all over my body."

Sounds like a mini-Nuremberg Trial or a post-apartheid Suid-Afrika Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing.

ICE is using IDF tactics on American citizens after 20 years of post-9/11 cooperation and training exchanges.

We are all Palestinians now.

Exum, the CBP officer that shot Martinez linked an article quoting him and send it to others. The texts read:

"Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes"
"I have a MOF amendment to add to my story. I fired 5 rounds and she has 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

At trial Exum, when asked about what he'd boastfully texted said "I'm a firearms instructor and I take pride in my shooting skills"..."I take pride in my work."
