Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Yet another video that shows that these masked thugs aren't after criminals. The man in the truck refused to get out. When the public swarmed in, the masked thugs left. Border Patrol or not, if they were after legitimate criminals they wouldn't just leave. Quotas. That's what they're after.

First, Toyota donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Then, Trump's CFPB said they don't have to pay $40 million in customer refunds anymore. And now, Trump's DOJ closed its investigation into allegations of Toyota bribery. Our government is up for sale.

🧵 1/2 US citizen tackled by ICE in downtown LA—for filming them harassing street vendors. They pinned him face-down, punched him, & then left him seizing on the street. When his family tried to intervene, they were shoved & threatened. The man never touched an ICE thug. Video in 2 parts
