'George Floyd All Over Again': ICE Guard Drove Knee Into Detainee

Source: The Daily Beast

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement guard at an immigration jail in Virginia knelt dangerously on the upper back of a man already bleeding from his head, two detained men who said they saw the disturbing incident told The Daily Beast.

“It was like seeing George Floyd all over again,” said one detainee, whom The Daily Beast will call Glenn.

Since the incident on Monday, July 13, the detained men said that they have not seen the beaten man, identified as 31-year old Carlos Rivas Monsano. “Right now, we don’t know where he is,” a second detainee, whom The Daily Beast will call Jerry, said on Monday. A third detainee gave a similar account.

In a statement to The Daily Beast, ICE said it was investigating what is said to have happened to Rivas.

And of course we should ask them...

Exactly what “law” is that?

What law requires racism, xenophobia,
and outright murder in its name?

What law requires you to give up your humanity
and become a heartless monster in the service
of that even greater monster, the corporate
fascist system that pays you to keep people
down and unable to change such a destructive
and rapacious system?

Hmmm???
