Summary
Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.
Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.
Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”
Tell them to suck your dick and get a warrant, that is what I would do. Unconstitutional douchebags need to learn the constitution one insult at time.
that is what I would do
No you wouldn’t.
Yeah. I just wouldn’t respond to them.
And then they shoot you in the head and it’s fine because this is Trump’s America.
Stop resisting! Oh my god, officer down, officer down! Get backup!
Acorns are everywhere! I repeat acorns everywhere!
Also make sure to check their warrants when they have them, they often only get an administrative warrant which doesn’t mean dick
If they have a warrant they can break my door down to enforce it.
I’m…speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.
Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you’re happy with your choices.
I hope you get used to this feeling. Cuz it’s going to keep happening. It’s so fucking clear that the Democrats are not learning a single thing from this utter defeat they suffered. And the many defeats they’ve suffered the last decade and a half.
Democrats voted. It’s independent leftists that didn’t vote. And encouraged others to not vote or vote third party. Hope you’re happy with yourselves. This is what we get because you ragged on Democrats the entire election season. Gtfoh.
Most of the leftists I see on Lemmy and know personally begrudgingly voted for Kamala. The people on here saying genocide Joe constantly were plants.
The fact is, at least 2 million democrats who voted in the previous election did not vote this time. Leftists are an incredibly small portion of the population unfortunately.
hope you’re happy
Or better, hope your losing sleep and sick to your stomachs and ready to take action in every available protest, election, boycott, donation, etc.
Unfortunately, they are still in “deny genocide is happening” mode.
Although a handful of them have taken a “America deserves genocide” tack instead.
Removed by mod
Pffffft, yeah right. They’ll “take action” inasmuch as it saves them a trip to the voting station two blocks away. I’m praying that the people who did that will prove me wrong, but I’m not holding my breath.
This is me every time I see the “take action” bullshit. I’m not trusting my back to a bunch of people who couldn’t be faffed to wait in line on an inconvenient day.
Seriously fucked up. Sane people saw this coming and tried to stop it. Now there’s straight up Nazi shit happening in America.
Hmmmm those are paper thin plate carriers. Makes you thnk.
Are you telling me these tacticool cops aren’t actually operators?
I mean those bump helmets are a vibe. One I’d like to interrupt but, ya know.
Now that I take a closer look, this Patriot Soldier looks a little…husky.
Gravy Seals in a joint strike operation with Meal Team Six.
But honestly that’s soft body armor inserts into a plate carrier. It’s fasc fashion.
I guess they’re really not afraid of taking fire from a 5.56. What a shame.
This is what happens when you’re faction orders their gear off of Temu before the tariffs take effect.
Oh hey look. Brownshirts.
Rename the ICE to SA, RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt) or NKVD. Leon will approve too.
Like a Nazi looking for Jews.
In other news the first arrivals are at gitmo concentration camp.

In the future: “Everything they had was repossessed by the jackasses associated to these assholes, but now we have freed them and crowdsourced society into compensating them for the stuff those jackasses enriched themselves with, so it’s all fine now.”
Yet another disgraceful and dark stain in American history books with the fascist pig Homan working hard to ruin peoples’ lives for no reason other than petty cruelty.
It those people’s fault. They haven’t even tried to be white cis staight Christian males, they were practically asking for it!
Next they’re going to start marking houses with an X
It’ll all be OK if your papers are in order….
…and other lies the Nazis used to say
Oh, it’s no lie — but to a nazi, “in order” is pretty subjective.
2017 Democrats: “Trump’s expansion of the ICE is creating a personal police force to do his bidding.”
2025 Democrats: “The fuck you want me to do about it? I already warned you this would happen.”
Should’ve nominated better candidates.
Bernie was on the ballot and Biden doubled his vote count.
Sure, after all the moderate candidates (some of whom were doing much better than Biden) all decided to mysteriously drop out right before Super Tuesday. What a weird confidence, am I right?
By March 5th Biden had already won 5 states, some by over 90% total.
Super Tuesday was March 3rd so that doesn’t dispute my point. Biden had won one state prior to Super Tuesday, Bernie had won three.
Sorry I had you confused with another user who was talking about 2024 primary and not 2020…
Before Super Tuesday 2020, Bernie won 2 states and Biden had won 1 states and also Pete Buttigieg won 1, Biden earned 54 delegates from those and Bernie earned 64 while Pete Buttigieg won 26. Buttigieg and others left the race but Bernie stayed in until April where he started falling behind Biden in big races including Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, etc.
Yeah I forgot that Buttigieg got a few more delegates in Iowa. After all the moderates dropped out, Bernie definitely lost momentum and his campaign really should have planned for that kind of move. Warren also staying in the race despite a highly lackluster performance sure didn’t help.
Oh, what could have been.
What ballot? The DNC skipped its primary.
Biden was an incumbent in 2024, but he did recieve 14,465,519 out of 16,610,102 votes cast in primaries
Also I just remembered after my comment that he’s an independent now.
:Looks at what happened to Bernie and the current state of America: How’s that working out for you guys?
So your opinion is that we should stop holding elections?
Even Bernie Sanders promoted the people who beat him in the primaries, we should have listened to Bernie Sanders and not TikTok.
My opinion is that the DNC should stop fucking over candidates like Sanders and Kennedy.
I would love to hear some constructive criticism from you. As in what people can do about it.
Doomerism is all fine and dandy as long as there’s a goal in mind. Otherwise you’re just rage masturbating in a corner screaming into the void.
Ok here’s some constructive criticism: The 2nd Amendment was made for times like these, what would your grandfathers do if they were your age and the Nazis have successfully invaded Americas highest office? Inaction is action. There’s plenty of historical info proving that a complacent centrist majority is required to allow a fascist minority to take power. Your “government” has proven time and time again they serve against your interests, for over half a century, when will it get through to you Americans? You can dig and discuss and follow the data all you want and every time it will lead to billionaires, and every time the conversation stops there for some reason. Perhaps Kamala losing because a population of people voted against genocide is a time for self reflection and reevaluation, not doubling down on the very people who got us here in the first place, I personally still hold a grudge since Obama’s approach to the 2008 financial crisis that led us to where we are today. Perhaps we need to stop doing human sacrifices so that miracles can be performed by our God “The Markets,” didn’t we have a whole Enlightenment Era to get over this very thing? (Looks up the history of America and the late 1700s) And perhaps maybe, just maybe, occupying a sidewalk and leaving politely when ordered to doesn’t really make the oligarchs afraid or take us seriously. Perhaps the best approach would be to gather en masse, guns out in the open, outside the gated communities of millionaires and billionaires. It’s gonna have to happen sooner or later, but later requires many more to suffer. You can say whatever you want but the world is collectively watching what you (Americans) are doing (or aren’t doing).
You’re advising armed violent revolt in a country you don’t live in?

How can we make this expensive for them?
Recreate that party scene from home alone 1, but with Mexican music.
“If you are in the country illegally, you are on the table”
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
You people and businesses need to understand you can’t build quality of life by using semi slave work
citizenship for all
Another point you missed, to join on the dogpile, is that all immigration, of all kinds, for any and every country, is a net economic benefit.
Its shooting yourself in the foot, purely monetarily, economically, fiscally speaking, for ideological-only reasons.
Yeah, because sending them to guantanamo, children and women included, is so humane. Good thing they won’t be in America where they are ‘slaves’.
Let me put it to you this way.
If we really cared about people in the country illegally, we’d aim for having people who hire these people under the table, also illegally, sanctioned. If you were honestly wanting to see less illegal immigration, you’d be deterring them from ever coming in by drying up the supply of under-the-table, low-paying jobs that attract them here. Maybe by advocating for a 10 x median annual salary for every undocumented worker found on your staff, enforced strongly?
If you can’t find it in your soul to do that, then all you’re here for is smashing disadvantaged people in the face.
make the penalty payable to the immigrants being exploited and they’ll get exposed fast
What you’re pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain “illegal” , on purpose. In the first place, you’re the one creating the situation of them being “in the country illegally”.
The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the “you’re on the table” argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it’s only one step after what’s happening to them already.
Everyone can be illegal if you don’t make anyone legal and then claim they’re only getting punished because they broke the law. There’s nothing reasonable there.
Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.
Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.
And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.
I feel like they are pushing everyone to the breaking point. How long until they knock on the wrong door and get shot?
By instilling fear, fascist regimes aim to create a compliant population that willingly surrenders individual freedoms and critical thinking in exchange for a false sense of security and belonging…https://prizedwriting.ucdavis.edu/fascism-and-denigration-individual
Fuck the NRA. They’re totally against all gun regulation unless it’s checks notes regulating minorities having guns.
Homan didn’t just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he’s doing will draw a lot of ire.
He’s taking small town good ol’ boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that’s why conservatives love him.
The good ol’ boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.
Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.
That’s not fascist at all.
Aufmachen!
There’s this old song by a British band called The Clash. Something something about Brixton. And the Brits don’t even have a second amendment.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
This is awful. Similar to the deportation of Jews in the 1940’s in the Third Reich.
