Listen, this sounds nuts, but everyone should be purchasing these costumes online and wearing them. We outnumber them, and if they can't tell who is who, then they won't be kidnapping everyone.
Lawmakers should get the National Guard and local police forces involved in protecting themselves against this type of intimidation. They have legal rights to enter these facilities.
Again, what more proof is there that we’ve become a fascist state and that the rule of law has been abandoned for tactics of fear and trauma? America is lost.
It doesn't fucking matter if he was inside the gate or not. He has the right to be there and inspect the facility. Also, that entire facility is in violation of the law. We need to be arresting the right people.
Oh, I totally get that. I'm pissed at the lawless kidnappers, and I have a lot of rage. It's come out aggressively. Not trying to attack you or anyone here. But if I see fuckers in ice or pretend cop clothes, I might fucking punch a nazi.
Serious questions: How much say do states have in regard to these raids? Can states say no to a ICE / raids? Can states require ICE to have signed warrants before they go on a raid?
ICE is acting independently of the states. States can say anything they want to about the raids but they can't stop the raids without some type of confrontation which the states would lose. ICE usually has administrative warrants in their possession which are signed by ICE agents.
I watched the video carefully. How many times did Rep. LaMonica McIver have to yell, "Don't touch us," as she was being manhandled. She also worked hard to shield the older
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman from harm. That should not have been necessary. ICE was out of control, as usual.
Perhaps these “so called officials” are part of the same organization that tRump used first time around. Not real Federal Employees at all but his private mercenary police.
We need to start arresting the kidnappers. Our state law enforcement agencies can arrest kidnappers. The only thing they need is a warrant signs by a judge. If they don't have it they are breaking the law. If they are breaking the law they are merely kidnappers in costume. TAKE THE POWER BACK!

The Mayor says he was invited in and that there was no bus entering
DHS released video, which doesn’t show the mayor entering, claiming it as “proof”
Right??!!
So the convicted Felon can defy the highest Tribunal in the Nation and yet we have ICE kidnapping Mayors?

#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
