Tl;dr: No crime. Just an insightful talk on the resistance. And principled views. Some coordinated online backlash by deranged wingnuts—and the university falls in line. Let's be clear: this is a constitutional violation. We must set a precedent by making Texas U pay for this.

Jan 14 was different because, after ICE shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in North Minneapolis, the hood responded the same way it responds to police shootings there. ICE was pinned to the crime scene, rapid responders created an image of legitimate protest forcing law enforcement /3

to use less-lethal weaponry, while proletarians cussed ICE out, flashing their weapons and throwing projectiles from the rear. Since then, ICE has treated the rapid responders confronting them at every corner as potentially armed, and, with some exceptions /4
