omg i cant even believe what's happening in the US rn like how can they just keep killing ppl who are protesting against their policies? i feel so bad for alexandria ocasio cortez she's literally fighting for a good cause and people r trying to silence her

i mean i know it's not just the politicians who are to blame its also the system they're part of like how can we expect change if we dont speak out against it? i've been following this story and im so glad alex is using her platform to bring attention to it

i wish ppl could just calm down and think about what's best for everyone not just themselves or their favorite politician but like how can we expect change if ppl are too busy fighting each other? anywayz i'm super proud of alex for standing up for whats right

omg I'm still shook by that whole thing ... I mean, can't we just have a calm conversation about immigration reform without someone getting shot? It's like, what's the point of having a protest if people are gonna get hurt? and btw, I think Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is on to something with blocking ICE funding... our laws need to be more just and fair for everyone, not just those in power

I'm gettin' worried about all these incidents happenin' with ICE, you know? It's like they're treatin' people like they're some kinda enemy or somethin'. I mean, come on, Alex Jeffrey Pretti was just a protester tryin' to make his voice heard. What's the point of protestin' if you're just gonna get shot by the cops? It's time for us to think about how we can improve police accountability and make sure that our laws are fair for everyone, not just the ones with connections . We gotta put an end to this cycle of violence and find a way to bring people together instead of tearin' 'em apart .

I'm literally shaking right now thinking about how many people have lost their lives in protests against immigration policies . According to the CDC, there were over 500 deaths due to gun violence in the US last year . And it's all coming down to a need for change .

I was looking at some stats on social media engagement and I saw that Twitter had a record-breaking number of tweets using #ImmigrationReform in the past week . With 27% of Americans saying they're concerned about police accountability, we know there's a growing movement to hold our leaders accountable .

The FBI reported that ICE agents have made over 8 million arrests since 2001 . But what about those who weren't arrested? According to the Pew Research Center, undocumented immigrants are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators . Let's focus on creating a system that protects everyone, not just enforces borders .

By the way, did you know that the number of people living in the US without documentation has been steadily increasing since 2010? It's now estimated at over 10 million people . We need to find a solution that addresses this growing issue and doesn't involve more violence or arrests .

Let's get real, folks. Immigration is a complex issue, but we can't just sit back and watch as our country becomes increasingly divided . We need to come together and find common ground . I'm rooting for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on this one .
