Ohh That's Rich - "Bait" is not the right word.
In witnessing the detainment of Liam Ramos in #minneapolis we know neighbors and school officials described that he was walked to the door by immigration enforcement and asked to knock on the door. Neighbors say he was being used as bait, in order to draw more immigrants outside for ICE to detain and deport. If this description is accurate, then "bait" is not the right word. We have to go much deeper to understand what we witnessed, and in the process, understand our visceral reaction to it.
