This is Carlitos Ricardo Parias, the man who filmed the viral video showing worms in the drinking water at Adelanto ICE Processing Center.

>Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his drinking water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.

>Parias was driving along a quiet block near downtown LA. Multiple unmarked vehicles pulled up around him, carrying masked men who turned out to be federal agents. Immediately and without warning, they smashed his window, as bodycam footage later showed. Panicked, Parias stepped on the accelerator — a meaningless move in a small car physically pinned by multiple large SUVs. Tires spun, the vehicles didn’t budge, and Parias quickly took his foot off the gas.

>One agent struggled to open the passenger door. He fumbled with his gun, as his own bodycam showed, juggling it back and forth between his hands before shooting Parias in the elbow. A U.S. marshal was also hit and was expected to recover.

>As federal immigration agents’ violence once again sent Parias to the hospital, the agents scurried into the security office of a nearby strip mall to check for surveillance footage. They downloaded it onto a thumb drive and deleted it from the mall’s system.

>Prosecutors charged Parias with assault on a federal officer**,** offering a version of events that omitted critical context.

Immigration officials created a new reporting loophole to conceal the deaths of at least two individuals who were abruptly released from custody amidst medical emergencies.

Flying out of O'Hare for the first time (visiting family here) and every few minutes a call comes over the terminal-wide intercom with a list of people who need to report to a gate for "mandatory document" checks. The very notion of which is chilling, and the fact that they're calling for people to check docs post-security means they're being checked in a limited due process area.

To boot, every one of the names on these lists is very clearly Hispanic or middle eastern. They always include exactly one very conspicuous white-sounding name ("Alex Smith" and "Nicholas Johnson" for example) in the middle of the list.

I've certainly heard airports call people to security before, but never have I heard them call for a dozen or so different people every few minutes.

Fucking chilling.
