Tut, Tut; just a minor inconvenience



ICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis.

It is a minor inconvenience when you compare it to the alternative which was happening when we had open borders and people were actually dying because they were getting murdered by illegal immigrants and they were demonstrably interfering in our elections.
