This is absolutely horrifying. How do we even know these men are ICE? They could be a gang of murderers taking her away. America, why the fuck won’t you rise up?!
4 men in plain clothes kidnap a woman—they claim to be ICE.
Woman's name is Angel Zhao.
She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵
He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

The reason for the march is to rub Catholic noses in their defeat hundreds of years ago and to remind them of Protestant power.
That is a just a bit Klansman isn’t it? If men in white masks and capes marched *peacefully* through a predominantly black area, torches ablaze, wouldn’t that seem wrong?
