Agents tried to detain Castro Rivera and the three other passengers, and he fled on foot, tried to cross Interstate 264 in Norfolk and was fatally struck, according to state and federal authorities.

DHS blamed Castro Rivera’s death on “a direct result of every politician, activist and reporter who continue to spread propaganda and misinformation about ICE’s mission and ways to avoid detention.”

    I’m always amazed how bodies can keep piling up and nobody really cares in the US. What does it take before society as a whole says “enough!”? A lot, apparently.

      Remember, the US, while likes to sell itself as the “sole winner of WW2”, the “main force that beat the Nazis”, actually profited off the war by selling equipment to both the Allies and Axis powers, and had regular Nazi marches that largely went by unprotested, up until Pearl Harbor.

      So, what does it take for the US to stand up in unity?

      A clear-cut attack against the US as a whole.

      As an outside it’s is bizarre to see, esp against the rhetorical image of the American we have seen in the last 50 years.

      I understand that any violence will be used against protestors and I feel that unfortunately as any peaceful protest is blatantly ignored (at this points it’s almost being mocked), violence is likely to occur.

      Question is what is the line? It’s not abuse of minorities, it’s not protection of the greedy, it’s not personal privacy.
