ICE dumping injured people in the woods

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTzMeXLDVyV/?igsh=MXJnZGE1N2dhcWt1ZQ%3D%3D

Medical workers in Minnesota who are responding to the needs of people impacted by ICE raids are sounding the alarm on ICE’s cruel treatment of people in custody. According to several sources, ICE agents are reportedly releasing people they detain and leaving them in the wooded areas that surrounded federal building in Minneapolis.

This week at least 3 confirmed reports of ICE detainees being dumped in the wooded area with no clothes and having to be rushed to the hospital. One of the men found in the park had a skull fracture.

want to be called Nazi's. I think they admire the Nazi's and Hitler and being called Nazi's is a source of pride for them.

That's why I prefer to call them vermin.

Was dumped in the woods during brutally cold temperatures by federal government agents under orders by the US dictator.

How was Maduro worse?

One dictator sits in US prison; one dictator receives daily medical and nursing care in the half demolished White House, while directing federal agents to murder.

but instead of asking for a ransom, they just dumped the victims. I wish just once, someone could be in a position to strip the Nazi of his clothes, and throw him out into the woods in below freezing temps. It wouldn't change a thing... except maybe give a good dose of the same medicine to the ICE man.

Apologies if I'm too skeptical. On the other hand, it would be great if this was *not* true.

There wasn't historical evidence and precedent for hanging people from trees, throwing people in rivers, giving them contaminated blankets and leaving them in the woods to die, too.

It's just that I can't find much other discussion of this. The short interview above is with Status Coup News, who are doing great work on the ground ... I subscribe to their YouTube channel ... but they are not a 'local news channel', per se. The I-gram post is from 3 days ago, and I can't find much discussion that's more recent. You'd think independent and commercial media would be all over this story.

There are a couple of Minneapolis Reddit threads (both started by the same person), but no one has followed up with anything concrete.

From r/WeThePeopleAtWhipple:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WeThePeopleAtWhipple/comments/1qkblon/can_someone_verify_this_information_ive_seen/

From r/Minneapolis:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qk9juq/can_someone_verify_this_information_ive_seen/

Seems like it would be a good idea to drive around the area, 'just in case'. I read in one of those threads above that they *are* releasing ppl from Whipple with 'just the clothes on their backs', no phone, etc, and there are folks who are watching out for them. One of the Reddit posters said, "There seems to be people on standby at the Whipple building just in case detainees are let out." That is very good news.

I did watch the video clip. Lots of people vouch for the woman who was interviewed.

I can't click through very far, since I don't do *any* social media outside of DU and a subreddit on gardening.

She says they've been doing this with Native Americans for a long time. Does she mean pre-Trump, or pre-Minneapolis Ice? How could this go on for a long time without being addressed?

By being put out with "no clothes", does she mean without winter clothes, or does she mean naked?

Death by winter is still murder, so if this is happening there should be more press.
And the state National Guard should be there protecting anyone waiting outside of the Whipple building to pick people up. Or picking people up themselves.

I hope people are documenting this. Without videos, it will become whatever ICE says.

On their foreheads, applied by by Brad Pitt (Inglorious Basterds) with the big ass knife. So they can never hide among humans ever again. And maybe the BearJew can play a little baseball with them.
Also, I just realized their asshole little bitch Bavino or whatever his lying ass name is, thinks he is Sean Penn the “Col (Fuck Face) Stephen J Lockjaw” that Love’s the Black women, Jungle Pussy precisely, except when he is around the billionaires that run the White Supremacy Christmas Adventurer Club. (One battle after Another).Check out the hair cut he was sporting while parading around in his Nazi knee length coat tossing gas canisters, and again when he was behind the giant podium when he was heaving all his bull shit about the murder at the presser for all the world to believe. Then check out Sean’s character’s hair cut in the movie, “One Battle After Another”.
Their racist Natzeee military characters are identical.
And so is their thirst for the blood of people of different shades
Call him Col Stephen J Lockjaw, forever.

they wouldn't follow the law even if they knew it.
They've probably been bullies their entire life... like the kid who stole your lunch money after beating you up.
These are bullies who are stealing your life by execution after beating you up.

They wouldn't know how to act in decent society; there's nowhere they fit in civilized humanity. We're going to have to make detention centers the size of cities to deport these people, just to keep others safe from the crime waves they'll engender once the ICE dept is kaput. And we WILL make it kaput! when we finally take back our country from the lead nazi thug.

Can someone verify this information? I've seen multiple reports that ICE has been leaving severely injured detainees from Whipple outside during the night
As the title says. I've been seen stories that people are being left in either local parks or the woods around the Whipple building? They keep getting left in the middle of the night. Always no phone, sometimes no clothes, no ID if they're not white.

Gan_aimn had a post on tiktok a couple nights ago claiming that there were 3 confirmed and 5 unconfirmed people in a local hospital. He also said that he and other people were checking the local parks so no one would freeze to death.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/s/B9mPBZojl5

@hereswhykevin had an interview on their Instagram with someone who claimed to be a local hospital worker basically claiming the same thing.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Akb7wyZgZ/

Both referred to at least one person with an open head wound and a skull fracture.

I cannot for the life of me find any other information.
