The fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis induced fury, disbelief, sadness, and a sense of betrayal. This isn't America. Is it? Has ICE come to your community? Share your thoughts.

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Does it?
Is our pride in a land of freedom and bravery?
Is it still America?
The same freedom and liberty our founders fought for,
Now being stripped away by the murderers of our government?
Our Constitution, now no more than ink on paper;
I hate that
Icarus gets all the ink.
His hubris penned down for eternity while
His scorched flesh watched on.
But never is it Daedalus.
Daedalus, who waits.
The waiting Daedalus.
