#AliyaRahman emphasized that, her #disability notwithstanding, this would not have been an easy moment to navigate for anyone. “I think it’s also important to point out that even someone who is not #autistic would have trouble handling that situation. It was chaotic & overwhelming. There was a lot going on & it was happening fast.”
The incident occurred just blocks away from where, a week earlier, an #ICE agent shot & killed #ReneeGood. “I constantly wondered if I was going to die,” Rahman said.

#MarimarMartinez, a #Chicago woman shot by a #BorderPatrol was accused of “aggressively & erratically” chasing & then ramming into a federal law enforcement vehicle. Because it was a load of crap, the charges were dropped. Martinez is suing.

“As an #autistic person, it was particularly difficult to understand what the officers wanted me to do. I personally experience audio sorting challenges as an autistic person. This makes it so that voices near & far are prioritized in the same way, making it difficult for me to figure out who is talking to me. Because of this, I tend to rely on reading lips. You can imagine how difficult it was for me to try to read lips when #ICE officers are completely #masked,” #AliyaRahman said.
