Shrouded in secrecy, the US law enforcement agency has become a kind of domestic stormtrooper for MAGA’s agenda
Across the US, group chats and community threads have started spiking with warnings. Not just the typical alerts about traffic or out of service subway stations, but where and when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid was last seen. What places to avoid. What the plainclothes agents might look like.
“Hey all,” a Brooklyn, New York, resident wrote in a closed chat with neighbors last week. “A little birdie just told me ICE is out.” Another person quickly followed suit.
“The witness says they saw 3 people picked up by 2 agents with ICE on their vests,” they said, with details on where the location of the arrests occurred and what the undercover vehicles looked like. “If anyone sees any ICE agents or activity you can drop a description at this link for local rapid-response folks.”
These kinds of exchanges are commonplace now in in America.
Absolutely false. Trump added 10,000 ICE officers. You’re comparison is too drastic to take seriously. I’m one for blaming Obama and Biden and the system for bringing us here but not on this note.
How did you get from my comment that I was blaming Obama or Biden? My point is that a dem candidate is not automatically going to be progressive and they will often lie about issues they support/condemn when they act in opposite when they go into office. Despite all their years of power, they never attempted to reverse any immigration/deportation trends, they just maintained them at best and increased them more at worst. We need keen pressure on progressive candidates throughout their time in office is my point, and don’t forget when they go back on promises. The DNC does a lot to keep the old guard in their positions, and ousting them is a huge challenge, but it’s an extremely important one if we want any change at all.
Also I suspect a significant percentage of the new Ice recruits were also pardoned Jan 6ers. That’s why they gotta hide their faces.
