"Today Americans are getting a taste of what Palestinians have experienced for decades: state terror. The escalation of state violence in the United States has been unprecedented. In the span of three weeks, two people were shot dead in Minneapolis during anti-immigration raids. Both were branded domestic terrorists. Meanwhile last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents used five-year-old Liam Ramos as bait to get his asylum-seeking father to come out of their home;"
"ICE detained at least 3,800 children last year, including 20 babies. Across the country, the violence inflicted by ICE is creating a culture of fear within migrant communities. I know this fear, I know this violence. These are the fear and violence that have long devastated my birthplace Palestine. I hope Americans never have to deal with the scale of death, forced disappearances and violence that generations of Palestinians have had to suffer."
Americans experience state terror through escalated immigration enforcement, including anti-immigration raids that left two people dead in Minneapolis. ICE used a five-year-old child as bait to apprehend his asylum-seeking father; both are detained in Texas. The administration classifies locking up children in mass detention camps as immigration enforcement. ICE detained at least 3,800 children last year, including 20 babies, and detained 68,440 people with 75 percent having no criminal record. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody from medical causes, suicide, or neglect. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces and settlers killed over 1,100 Palestinians; thousands are held without charge.
