A man says his 14 year old son was pepper sprayed by DHS on Sunday afternoon. This happened as crowds of protesters gathered at the scene where a man was shot by ICE goons.
The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

I couldn’t see Cline when I was up there speaking in my borrowed suit, but it said everything when he bounced off the stage afterwards, refusing to shake my hand. To fix real problems, first you have to talk to the people suffering from them. He has never done that, not once.
