People told me “history will repeat itself”, I never understood until a week ago what that really meant. I am a student at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis Minnesota, and on Wednesday January 7th ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) shot and killed Renee Good and just a few hours later they were on our school campus attacking and abducting people from school grounds.            The wind was cold and the sky was dark and depressing, the sound of whistles and screaming filled the area and I could taste the saltiness from my tears dripping down my face, you could smell the tear gas and you could feel the fear. I watched as my classmates got tear-gassed and teachers were thrown to the ground. I felt helpless and didn't know what to do. The more time I spent replaying the events that happened that day, the more it hurt. Something that made everything feel worse was that there were people who agreed with the things that were happening, the families being torn apart and the state being destroyed.  I thought to myself that ICE agents were modern day Nazis, they were here to profile and hurt people. They didn’t care about the people, they only cared about making the country “great”, but how can you make a country great by hurting the people in it?
