    Two Members Depart Reflections Amid Accusations Vocalist Supports ICE

    The Mosh Network - Jake Wolf of Reflections

    Minneapolis-based progressive metalcore outfit Reflections have lost two members amid mounting internal tensions. Former bassist Francis Xayana and guitarist Patrick “Patty” Somoulay announced their departures this week, citing clashes with vocalist Jake Wolf and his alleged support of ICE, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Xayana took to social media on January 26th, sharing a lengthy statement via his Instagram Stories:

    “Jake has always had control of the band. There’s a reason Patty left even though he is the primary writer.

    Jake is an ICE apologist and I will not fuck with someone like that. I don’t give a flying fuck what we’ve been through. I cannot trust a person who thinks this is necessary.

    And honestly fuck you if you support this ICE shit. You’re a fucking bitch.

    And instead of getting into your fucking feelings y’all should have been listening to Black voices this entire time. Now when a white person is killed in the same form they’ve experienced for centuries, we are at end game. There is no going back.

    This is the beginning of the end if people continue to turn a blind eye.

    He’s going to kill anyone who opposes him.”

    Somoulay also confirmed his exit overnight, writing:

    “I am no longer a part of Reflections.

    A lot of stuff happening in life lately where it just does not feel okay to continue on with this myself.
    Also f**k ICE.

    This isn’t the country my family wanted to risk their lives to come to.”

    As of now, Wolf has not publicly addressed the allegations made against him. The departures come in the wake of two ICE-involved fatal shootings in Minnesota amid ongoing federal immigration enforcement actions in the band’s home state.

        Why does every comment like this need a disclaimer designed at shuting down discourse. Like every singe one… also there’s actually extensive documentation about music and art under police states. Let’s just say, the fact that your music is readily available for listening to the general public is evidence that you’re not living in a ‘police state’.And to everyone else, Let’s take a moment to remember when Jewish musicians had their brass instruments melted down to be used as shell casings, go listen to music from the 1940s and remember their struggles and forget horrible, clueless, fake artists like Sepsiss. Just completely pathetic.

          Randy Fackler II hey genius, immigration issues aren’t criminal matters, they’re civil ones. The proper remedy is paperwork, not being sent to a fucking prison labour camp in a country they’ve never been to.

          If this is about legal process, why are ICE waiting outside criminal courts to pick up people who are arriving for their scheduled appointments? If this is about getting “the worst of the worst”, then why are they snatching up people like grandmothers & children, and others who came here through a legal process and are simply not finished the process they started properly?

          Again, you don’t care about the details, you just like that they’re hurting people because you’re sick in the head and even sicker in the heart. One day you’ll have to reconcile that you were the Nazis in this timeline, and I hope it haunts you.

          Matt N Jeffrey your first mistake in all of this was assuming I’m one of the magatards you hate so much. I reject the 2 party system and hold no loyalty to either side. I am America first. I am a law abiding citizen that supports the foundation this country was built on which was freedom first and clear cut laws to keep it safe. I do not agree with every deportation but I do agree with the premise of keeping our borders secure and getting rid of the ones that straight up came here illegally as well as the ones that have slipped through the cracks. You cant cherry pick a few examples of bad management or lousy officers or bad decisions to paint the entire program. Contrary to your belief that I somehow find joy in people getting hurt or killed in all of this I genuinely wish they would all just surrender peacefully and avoid it all together.

          Matt N Jeffrey i also feel like (and deservedly so) this country is on the verge of another rebellion that will effectively reset the broken 2 party regime system that has had a chokehold on us for far too long. Outdated systems, broken laws, and generational wealth gaps that all need to be eradicated are all about to be. I dont hate protests I hate the theater for clout its become.

        Jay Latham someone was MURDERED by ICE 6 blocks from my house in Minneapolis. And it wasn’t an immigrant. It was a white male nurse who was defending a woman who was being attacked. That’s not American policy. That is unchecked fascism at work. I bet you’d have a different opinion if it was someone you loved that was killed for trying to help their fellow man.

They need to get rid of illegals only, not be aggressive against legal citizens and those trying to become legal also. You can support the theme of ice without supporting how theyre doing it specifically which is just sad methods these days but a lot of that comes down to the person who did the beating/killing. Bunch of sad sacks working for them.

It’s a scary idea, but that is exactly what’s happenning. We can draw lines and pick teams OR we can recognize that we are all on the same team as citizens who believe in constitutional rights, mourn the loss of those rights, and work together to make sure those rights are not infringed by the government– any government, democrat or republican. The side doesnt matter. Doing what’s right is what matters, but what’s right and what’s legal don’t always align. They should but they don’t.
