Sickening ICE Story on Stephanie Ruhle

Gut wrenching. An undocumented father who has been here since the 90s was taking his 16 year old son to school. They stopped at McDonald’s on the way. When they left, an unmarked car began chasing them. The father stopped and unidentified men began smashing the windows. The father took off and the unmarked vehicle chased them and purposefully rammed them several times. The 16 year old son filmed this and was completely hysterical, afraid for his father. The father and son were dragged out of their car and put in chokeholds. The son had cervical damage and had to be taken to the hospital. The father was deported to Mexico. The son - born in this country - now has panic attacks and the family with four kids is struggling to survive.

I’m sure that this account is not unique. People’s lives are being destroyed for the amusement of the psychopaths that are in charge of our government. This cannot stand.

I believe there were three female siblings and no mother.

One daughter had to cancel her wedding, another one is postponing college.

They need to do a thorough follow up story. Because it appears a single father, likely the breadwinner was deported. I believe his only record was a decade old DUI. The kids will likely end up on govt assistance, this costing the taxpayers even additional and some LE stole a phone and AirPods.

I thought I heard that it was this family.

Damn sad there as so many stories we are seeing, many not from reporters, that I am mistaken over details because there are many daily.
