"The internet is flooded with viral videos of ICE agents violently detaining a U.S. citizen child at a Target and warning peaceful bystanders that they will end up like Good. Other footage shows agents punching citizens for legally recording them, assaulting a woman whose disability prevented her from exiting her car, and using flash bangs and pepper-spraying peaceful protesters. As they were driving, a Minneapolis couple and their six children were reportedly caught in a chaotic clash between federal agents and protesters."
"This rhetoric, which began during his first term, reached a fever pitch during the 2024 campaign when Hillary Clinton compared his Madison Square Garden rally to the infamous Nazi gathering held there in the 1930s. In 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris and half of the American public, according to ABC News/Ipsos polling, embraced the label for Trump, while many others dismissed it as hyperbolic."
Debate over whether Donald Trump is a fascist intensified over the past decade and peaked during the 2024 campaign, with roughly half the public and some leaders applying the label while many others rejected it. The killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minnesota produced video footage seen by about 80 percent of Americans, and multiple polls show a majority view the killing as unjustified. Federal enforcement in Minnesota escalated with viral videos showing ICE agents detaining a U.S. citizen child at a Target, warning bystanders they would 'end up like Good,' punching people for recording, assaulting a disabled woman in her car, and deploying flash-bang munitions and pepper spray against peaceful protesters, while a Minneapolis couple said tear gas filled their vehicle and their six-month-old stopped breathing.
