ICE detention center employee tried to murder a protestor [View all]
Denver --
Things here in Colorado have been at a boiling point for awhile when it comes to ICE. The Aurora facility has been the target of mass protests for months now. And now we have GEO Group workers for ICE trying to literally murder protestors. Thank goodness for Aurora police (You'll NEVER read me saying that again given how God awful bad they are. Remember Elijah McClain?) who arrested this jackass on 2nd degree attempted murder charges.
Abolish ICE!
NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive.
