Ice thuggery

50501 Movement

"ICE cut off her wedding ring. Sue Tincher is a 55 year old white Minneapolis grandmother who walked out into the cold because her phone lit up with alerts that ICE was raiding her block and her neighbors might be disappeared before sunrise. She stood on a public sidewalk, asked an officer if they were ICE, refused to slink back, and within seconds agents slammed her into the snow, cuffed her, and dragged her to an unmarked truck like she was the criminal. Her husband spent hours not knowing where his wife was while federal officials refused to tell him a thing.

Inside federal custody they stripped her of more than her freedom. Agents took her personal belongings, shackled her legs, and used cutters to remove her wedding ring, citing vague safety and processing rules while she sat in a cell at the Whipple Federal Building for around 5 hours. There was no medical emergency, just the cold choice to sever a sentimental band from a woman they claimed was dangerous for watching and asking questions.

ICE now claims she assaulted an agent and crossed some invisible line, the same script they roll out whenever anyone challenges their power. The images and accounts show a small woman on a sidewalk surrounded by armored men and then processed like a threat, right down to cutting off her ring. If they can do that to a white citizen grandma in Minnesota in front of cameras, it is a brutal reminder of what that machinery does in the dark to the communities it actually targets."
