Ice isn't in all of the US yet ? are they being deployed state after state or something ?
States that didn't vote for Trump are the main targets at the moment.
holy shit ok...... even worse than I thought
A group of protesters found the plans printed out in an ICE they are to arrest vulnerable individuals who are probably
I just want to clarify that this isn't a joke. Trump isn't even trying to hide it. This is real.
There aren't actually that many of them and this is a physically large country. They have been focused on cities that are more aligned with the Democrat party.
That is super vicious, I didn't realize it was so targeted
The biggest city in Minnesota is Minneapolis, where most of this is crazy bullshit ICE news happening. Trump won the Presidency by beating Democratic Party Harris from California and Walz from Minnesota. Harris does not have any political positions so she is kinda out of the news. But Walz is Governor of Minnesota.
Let that sink in for a few minutes and when you look at the news again... vicious is probably tame, this is outright evil. even if you arnt a religious person, this is the worst on its way to something of historically nightmare
Ok thanks for all the context. so this is also petty personal revenge. Fucking hell
Did you happen to notice that the national guard was deployed to cities with black Democrat mayors?
no but now I know.....
Yeah, they're really not trying to hide it anymore. It's despicable.
They're in bumblefuck southern WV, scoping drivers at the tollways.
Only a handful of cities, but their funding is something like $60 billion dollars, the equivalent of two or three branches of our military combined. I don't think ICE has the staff to go after whole states at this point, because there are many stories in the media that seem to indicate they are hiring every stupid motherfucker who puts in an application. They send a ton of people to small geographical areas so that, theatrically, it appears that they are more powerful and numerous than they really are.
There are various means of resistance happening in local communities. Here in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, our city council just banned ICE from receiving an permits or zoning for mass detention facilities here in our city.
And that's why Trump is pushing for civil unrest/war to use the insurrection act. He desperately needs the military. Not only is ICE not big enough, but it's full of untrained cowards. As soon as the first bullet flies, some will fight, but the vast majority will either go flight or fawn. This existence is so stupid.
They're purposely deploying ICE To blue cities and states as retribution and provocation.
The us is too big and they’re afraid of resistance. If they spread out to all states at once, we could stop most of it by outnumbering them in most places.
Also they’re focusing on Blue cities to try and provoke protests for their propaganda and plans for marshal law.
