They're just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize "the enemy".

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Dehumanizing people, totally not a thing that predates bloodshed ever. Just ignore every war ever, every genocide ever, every massacre ever…
Exactly.
They dehumanize themselves more and more each day.
No doubt.
they have to keep the soundbites for fox ongoing, since republicans have memories of goldfish.
You know how I know this didn't happen? They didn't kill the person who allegedly did it.
Protesters bit off a FINGER and that NURSE was a TERRORIST and that MOTHER was a TERRORIST!
-Republicans who Do Their Own Thinking!
Was it his trigger finger? Because at this point I think that's self-defense
Oh, just like the "internal bleeding" (a bruise) that Renee Good's murderer had?
- DHS, in a post on X, said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."
- "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the post continued.
Lies.
They are really fragile, aren't they?
No they didn’t…
…ask any jury…
Based if true
Even if true, the title is straight up misleading bullshit.
'protesters' is plural, so you mean to tell me it took multiple protesters to bite off a single finger?
Why do I already smell some level of bullshit? 🤔
They're not wearing gloves?
In this weather?
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.
Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn't have put it in a jar.
Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.
Bit off fingers would be reattatched not put in a jar. These clowns do not think they have to try to make anything believable to us reality based folk.
Hight of - 2 and low of -10 (-19/-27 in C). Yeah that is glove weather.
Crazy we don't have 14 different videos of the event, just a photo I cannot even see because its on X.
Good!
Yeah. And even if true, still not a crime that merits extrajudicial execution. And I don't believe it until we see the body cam footage (oh, is there none?).
She also posted images of two individuals allegedly involved in the attack, though their roles and identities remain unclear.
I’ve seen cops do this at protests—they’ll grab a few random, odd-looking people just because they look scary, so they can post their mugshots the next day alongside their narrative of events. Then once the news cycle is over they’re released without charges.
Why did an ICE agent put his finger in someone's mouth?
I don’t believe you.
Sorry, you'll need that on video from at least three angles.
You know, like the ones we have of your murderers.
Saw the pic, clearly AI. Are they just making shit up again? Hang these fuckers
If they’re not AI — and I suspect they are at least AI doctored because the anatomy is wrong — then it is absolutely not a bite wound. Everything they say, every statement they make, is a bald faced lie.
He got better...
Hopefully it was his trigger finger
Such utter bullshit. There's no way anyone who's seen the videos believe this. The person who shot him came up behind him and just executes him. This is such an utter bald-faced lie and the fact that apparently the independent is repeating in this disgusting matter is such an indictment of their integrity.
I’m not sure they’re referring to Alex Pretti.
Edit: Yeah they’re talking about two other people.
They're talking bullshit is what they're talking.
Well yes. But different bullshit.
Probably didn't happen, but I approve if it did. Next time, go for the eyes.
Biting the hand that beats you.
Me to DHS:

What was that finger doing in or near a protesters mouth? And what was the agent doing to the protester at that the time? If you're unlawfully beating or kidnapping me and I have no other defense, you better believe biting is an option. Keep your hands to yourself and you won't have this problem.
"We executed two white American citizens 1300 miles from the southern border. The optics are horrible. Quick, make shit up."
I hope they keep it. Fascists don't deserve fingers.
Fascists deserve one thing and one thing only: death.

My first question would be to ask why the agent's hand was in their face to begin with
Whatever goes in my mouth is fair game, biting is reflexive
Bullshit
Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.
ICE has killed 2 people out there recently. This is nothing
MY FUCKING HERO
Damn, I hope the protesters are alright. Putting poisonous scum in your mouth is bad for your health.
