My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border#police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated. #gettyreportage#getty at the #Whipple Federal building in #Minneapolis.”

He later posted this image of his camera sitting on top of what appears to be a court date notice. The caption is very cryptic, but from the picture I infer his camera survived & he was in fact arrested. No word on whether he had any injuries, though at a minimum I’d expect bruises. An absolutely #unconstitutional#arrest.
“I am so happy I live in a western democracy, if I speak out about my boss I have to find a new job if I speak out about my landlord I have to find a new home if I speak out online I will be muted or banned I can buy 40 brands of breakfast cereal all owned by three different companies if I protest in the street I will be arrested this is the best”
Are Scattered Spider and ShinyHunters one group or two? And who did France arrest?
It's been a wild weekend here trying to sort out the relationship between #ShinyHunters and #ScatteredSpider. And then, to really blow my mind, I heard from the leader of ShinyHunters (or someone claiming to be him) and no, he's not in prison in France.
If I was trolled, it's absolutely an amazingly good troll. But see what you think.
The 16-year-old was dragged away & arrested by #Worcester PD because she kicked the car #ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.
"She told MassLive that she, along with a crowd of other people, asked ICE to show a #warrant for the #arrest. She said the agents replied, 'We don’t have to show you anything.'"
