Sure sounds like a terrorist organisation.
Which is about right. Pre-9/11, the US's model of a "terrorist" was a white, 30 something, loser, guy - a Timothy McVeigh-type. Identical to 95% of ICE agents.
Maybe they should return to that model.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Post 9/11 too, if you’re talking domestic terrorists. 95% of them fit the white christian nationalist stereotype. The GAO, DOJ, and FBI tracked this data and published it until trump2, now they are no longer reporting.
Not a mistake. This is to terrorize people. They are working their way down the poem.
Of course they are targeting wonderful Hmong community here in the Twin Cities. Most of which are US citizens all of which are here because they ran from Vietnam and Laos after supporting the US in the Vietnam war. Disgusting.
Everything about Trump is so predictable tragic.
Honest question for americans: do you guys use armored doors for your houses?
I'm reading of ICE breaking your doors to enter your houses and I'm here in my house, with an armored door that makes demolishing the wall an easier way to break in my house (and that it's the norm here) and I wonder if you shouldn't be using those or, if you already do, what kind of tools do ICE have to break your doors.
Armored door? No, that is absolutely not a thing in the U.S. I've never even heard of that outside of, like, some billionaire's private compound or something
Edit: And it look like from a cursory search that they are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive.
I think they mean a steel door with a solid wood core. Basically a wooden door clad in sheet steel.
They’re common in the US, especially in denser urban areas.
What? No! I mean, maybe a couple thousand? They don't really cost that much here if you want a civilian one.
And they can save your life.
Metal security doors with a regular door on the inside are not that uncommon at all. Lots of people that live out in the country and in urban areas have them.
Armored doors? Lol our houses are made out of cardboard and sticks.
No, most American residential doors are built to cheapest possible standards and are usually two ultra thin steel sheets with styrofoam sandwiched in between. Couple steps above cardboard.
If you want security most add an optional welded steel screen door over the top of the normal door, but it's ugly and most don't.

Plenty of us do have steel doors and dead bolts (heavy duty locks).
But the police also have these:
If they want in, they will come in.
At the very least people need to get larger strike plates that cover door lock and deadbolt and use 3” screws. Make these asshole work for it.
I guess fires never happen in your country? Also do you not have windows?
Uh... fires? In italy's houses? Rarely. Our houses are mostly build in concrete, bricks and other non-flammable materials (the old ones are build in stone). So it's rare to see a fire here.
And yes, we do have windows:
If you live in the ground floor, most of them have bars, usually on steel (but sometimes in stone/concrete if the house is really old).
If you don't live in the ground floor, we don't have bars, but the shutters are made of very resistant material so they are not easy to break. Also, windows are usually with double glass (to insulate the house better). They'd have a hard time breaking in a house here.
If a fire happens, you usually enter through a window (the shutters are not usually down) or simply ask a neighbor for a key.
However, if someone here wants to rob a house, they'll try drilling a hole in the wall to enter because they know is the fastest way compared to the rest.
