Where is the lowered flag for Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez? IMAGE IS AI GENERATED. STORY IS 100% HUMAN
Last week, two days after Charlie Kirk was killed on Wednesday, September 10, ICE officers in Chicago shot and killed Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez after he dropped his young children off at school, essentially for a traffic violation. Villegas-Gonzalez was unarmed, and he had no criminal history. But he had brown skin, and his last name wasn’t Jones.
There was no order to lower flags to half-mast for the killing of Villegas-Gonzalez.
“Just days into Trump’s deployment of hundreds of federal immigration officers to Chicago, ICE agents fatally shot Silverio Villegas-Gonzales after the 38-year-old father panicked and began to drive away in his car trying to evade arrest. Minutes earlier on Friday, Villegas Gonzales had dropped off his children at school. ICE claimed he dragged an ICE agent with his car; the officer then fired his weapon. Villegas Gonzales was unarmed and had no criminal record. He was born in Michoacán, Mexico, and worked as a cook.
“The killing came as the Trump administration intensifies its immigration crackdown in Chicago under so-called Operation Midway Blitz, which DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin claimed would target, quote, “the worst of the worst.” The Cato Institute revealed earlier this year that 65% of immigrants arrested in Trump’s raids had no criminal convictions, and over 93% were never convicted of violent offenses.”
The Trump Department of Homeland Security – not to be confused with an actual Department of Homeland Security interested in keeping the homeland secure - issued a September 12 press release on the day of the killing trying to pin the blame on Villegas-Gonzalez as being responsible for his own death because he tried to get away from a group of armed thugs hired by the President of the United States to snatch him up.
ICE law enforcement is facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they carry out enforcement operations
CHICAGO — This morning, while carrying out an enforcement operation targeting a criminal illegal alien, the alien resisted arrest, attempted to flee the scene and dragged a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer a significant distance with his car.
“The officer sustained multiple injuries and is in stable condition. The illegal alien was pronounced dead.
“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. He followed his training, used appropriate force, and properly enforced the law to protect the public and law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement not only spread misinformation, but also undermine public safety, as well as the safety of our officers and those being apprehended.”
So, I kinda question the part about the 1,000% increase in assaults against ICE, and others who have viewed the footage point out that the DHS description of how far the officer was dragged is quite an exaggeration, to say the least.
What I also question is why Charlie Kirk is still a driving headline.
And I repeat, there was no order to lower flags to half-mast for the killing of Villegas-Gonzalez.
Authoritarians never change their stripes, throughout history and continuing into today, they're murderers, plain and simple. They have the same morals as the drug cartel leaders, kill anyone who gets in their way.
That's why because they want us to forget about what ICE is doing
