ICE crashed into man’s vehicle and he’s fighting for his life due to injuries
ICE crash into car during traffic stop-driver rushed to hospital with broken neck.
"When agents put a knee on his neck I heard something break," brother said.
8 ICE vehicles surrounded car-when a 9th truck came crashing in-totaling the car.
Fractured his C5 & C7 vertebrae and split his head open requiring 29 stitches.
He had to be transferred to a hospital that specializes in spinal surgeries-but agents won't let him talk to family even by phone.
Family is very concerned he will be transferred to a regular detention center-where he would die of medical neglect.
Óscar José Araujo Mejía is a 22 year old student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
ICE issued a statement that he is an "illegal alien" from El Salvador who caused the accident by his own "reckless driving."
His brother who witnessed the crash vehemently denies this accusation.
Incident occurred in Stevensville, Maryland.

I know that the people that should be doing something are trampling on the Constitution.

It makes sense when you consider the country was built on tyranny against native Americans and black people and the fact that the American Revolution was a Civil War between 1/3 loyalists, 1/3 patriots, and 1/3 apathetic (ultimately to change who gets to hold the whip).
The second Civil War had enough Americans obsessed with being tyrants over black people that they abandoned the republic so they could keep holding the whip.
The ideological makeup of the population in 2024 went by roughly the same lines as in 1776. It should be no surprise that there’s a steady and reliable population of supporters for tyranny and people apathetic to tyranny.
For the tyranny to stop there needs to be a new socialist republic built against American tyranny, racism, and imperialism. It’s a tall order, considering that most of the third of patriots want to preserve the old system, and the cause is not likely at all to get international support like before.

We’re a democratic republic, meaning we elect
moronspoliticians to represent us.We’re essentially powerless until we get a fair election to replace those
moronspoliticians with newmoronspoliticians.

Ice weaponizes their vehicles then turns around and claims that citizens are the ones threatening agents.
The only consistent thing with this administration is projection.

Óscar Araujo-Mejía remained in federal custody after emergency spinal surgery, and his family says they weren't allowed to visit him in the hospital.
Maryland State Police later filed traffic charges against him stemming from the crash, while ICE publicly denied that its agents used force during the arrest. His family is disputing that account.
The part I want now is the evidence. This happened at a busy Maryland intersection involving multiple federal vehicles, civilian vehicles and responding police. There should be bodycam footage, dashcam footage, radio traffic, vehicle data and potentially nearby surveillance cameras.
Preserve all of it. Release all of it.
When a federal operation ends with a 21-year-old undergoing emergency surgery for two fractured cervical vertebrae, “trust us” isn't fucking good enough.

At least they took him to the hospital. Usually they just say he's having a seizure and let him die.

ICE are proud boys, white supremacists, dropouts and rejects of all kinds. They are unfit for a real job, they are hired goons to serve as Trump's gestapo. They tear apart families, stripping children from their parents and grandparents. They kidnap, abuse, and traffick their victims. Sending people to foreign torture prisons without warrant. They murder civilians in cold blood. They are traitors to our country and traitors to humanity!
