Screen shot that zooms in on the collar of one of the four men in the original pic. The tie appears to be a black bow tie tied sideways so the sides of the bow are at the top and bottom.

Screen shot of a reposted status with additional comments. Comments read: “this was posted two hours ago. Yell “La Migra” as loud as you can if you see a dark van or truck or ICE officers. Create a distraction. Keep people safe.” Original post text: ICE is now picking people up here in Holland. Heard the McDonald’s on south Washington got hit already and that ICE was also spotted at Walmart. Tell hoke people. Be that person who hells out to warn others if you spot them first. I will not be arguing with anyone who thinks this shit is ok. So instead of commenting how you feel, just delete or block me. I don’t give a fuck. Y’all be safe out there. Be alert. I hope y’all and y’all’s family make it home ok. Families belong together.
