  2. "An agent in Houston put a teenage citizen into a chokehold, wrapping his arm around the boy’s neck, choking him so hard that his neck had red welts hours later. A black-masked agent in Los Angeles pressed his knee into a woman’s neck while she was handcuffed; she then appeared to pass out. An agent in Massachusetts jabbed his finger and thumb into the neck and arteries of a young father who refused to be separated from his wife and 1-year-old daughter. The man’s eyes rolled back in his head and he started convulsing."

    Banned Tactics.

    Over 40 cases of agents using chokeholds and other moves that can block breathing.

    “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen.

    Former police and immigration officials on videos of incidents:“the kind of action which should get you fired.”

    There is a federal ban on #chokeholds and similar tactics: no sign of punishment for officers who’ve used them.

  5. After #GeorgeFloyd’s #murder by a #police officer 6 years ago in #Minneapolis — less than a mile from where an #ICE agent shot & killed #ReneeNicoleGood last week — police departments & federal agencies banned #chokeholds & other moves that can restrict breathing or blood flow.

    But those tactics are back, now at the hands of agents conducting #Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

  6. “I felt like I was going to pass out & die,” said a 16-year-old citizen.

    ProPublica showed former #police & #immigration officials videos of incidents. They said agents are out of control. One said it’s “the kind of action which should get you fired.”

    There is a federal ban on #chokeholds & similar tactics. But there is no sign of punishment for officers who’ve used them.

  7. @KimPerales We know that #JonathanRoss was the #ICE goon who murdered #ReneeGood.

    Please update this ⬆️ toot about illegal #ChokeHolds used frequently by #ICE with names of offenders when they become known. 🙏

  8. The #legislation would increase the use of #BodyCameras, restrict the use of #QualifiedImmunity, ban #NoKnockWarrants & #chokeholds in some cases, limit the transfer of military-grade equipment to police departments & create a national database for officer misconduct allegations.

    Read the article for the many examples of productive #police #reforms which are now under threat
    Such as instituting police #review #boards, prohibiting #chokeholds or limiting aggressively chasing suspects in vehicles and #shooting into #moving #vehicles.
