ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency

It is Trump's private mercenary militia, operating under orders to invade Blue areas and inflict as much terror, suffering and misery as possible on the public.

Stating the obvious, I know.

but no money for SNAP recipients. China keeps the world's largest military for similar reasons. If dissidents get out of line, they can disappear.

Thats what it was last time too. Kidnapping citizens off the streets for protesting.

Not disassembling it completely was one of a few really terrible mistakes the biden administration made. They did a lot of good and were in a hard spot, but they missed some important things.

agencies can arrest ICE personal for touching a person. Automatic 90 days in the slammer and a $10,000
fine. And if you can't pay your fine, you can work it off making license plates at a $1 an hour.

that they don't quite yet feel comfortable enough to use the actual U.S. Military much in the cities, so they do the next best thing.....The use the National Guard and U.S. Military on our southern border, freeing up all the Border Patrol to come up and become ICE agents to do the dirty work in the U.S. Cities. They don't miss a step.....

of how deeply MAGA has infiltrated the ranks of the U.S. Military, National Guard, Reserves, Secret Service, FBI, ATC, DEA, the list is endless....

I watched some of the DC Police and Capitol Police literally pull back the barricades and stand aside for the insurrectionists.......

The numbers of all those groups have certainly grown since then

that you are correct OC........it may take a military coup to overthrow this regime.......and put a stop to this insanity.....

Then again, Trump is itching for us to rebel, so he can declare martial law using the military, He has already flooded DC with National Guard, military, Secret Service, ATF, FBI, ICE, Border Patrol, and tons of other factions to provide protection for him and his Republican Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court justices, just in case of a J6th type insurrection of the White House and Capitol by us.........

You remember all of us who have taken tons of shit and criticism for saying what we thought he was going to do for the past 9.5 years????? (Actually the entire RepubliCON party)

...........and then, all of our seemingly crazy predictions came to reality...............

I would love to make a list of my future visions, from here on out.......but don't even want to think about them.......

They're the best funded Terrorist Network in the World. Summary Executions coming to a Blue State near you.
I haven't guessed wrongly yet.
WHERE IS THE LAW IN THE US?
Oh, yeah, hassling the powerless so sociopaths can get their jollies stroking their Psychosexual proclivities.
This psyops operation has been purposefully visited upon our Societies to instigate chaos and create "opportunities".
It's working.
The age of the "Wrecker Barons"... such an exciting time.eh?

she detailed that Homeland Security has access to cellphone spying programs. These programs don't require the user to click on a suspicious link, and your cellphone's spy detection software won't find it or alert on it. They can access all your files, email, messages, etc.

Makes me want to switch to back to a flip phone.

They hate it when we call them that, but "too bad, so sad'--- and

"If it walks like a Nazi, it talks like a Nazi, and it acts as a Nazi---
IT'S A FUCKING NAZI!" and probably has KKK dual citizenship as well!


Just saw a story on my newsapp over the past day,
about an ICE Agent pointing a gun at a protester, and saying something like
'bang bang, you're dead, Liberal' or some such rot.....

Yeah, HERE it is!

The point is to gather the unemployed, left behind people in large part, and set them loose with their personal grudges, good pay and the desire to do what they want. All of a sudden they have power and become important.
China had the Red Army and Germany had the Brown Shirts. Eastern European countries had their own variety.

Right now ICE is operating with a so-called mission but it will soon morph into a criminal gang. They will make money with drugs, human trafficking, murder, etc., as has been done in other countries. The point is to make a society live under threat at all times.
