ICE Agents are Detaining U.S. Citizens

Musician playing 'Ghostbusters' outside ICE facility is arrested by agents: 'Why are they targeting a clarinetist?' 'Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,' her band said

ICE is a fascist paremilitary.

They always intended not to use warrants.

They always intended to arrest US citizens.

They will end up killing not a few of us.

Deporting children with cancer.

Shooting priests in the head.

Arresting legal immigrants at immigration check ins.

Arresting US citizens.

PeeWee German's goal has always been to incite violence against them so that ------- could declare martial law and suspend elections.

Those of you who cheered on the Clinton admin's use of the predecessor of ICE during the Elian Gonzales incident didn't think about how it could be abused in the future. Just like those who are cheering on what they're doing now aren't either. Of course, the only thing that matters is the letter next to the name of the person in charge to most of you.

I keep thinking about that scene from "V" where the Fingerman shoots that little girl for wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and gets torn apart by an enraged mob.

"Elian Gonzales incident"

So this is revenge for Elian and all we scores of millions who suffer are getting what we deserve?

OK.

There is a distinct difference between reuniting a child with his sole surviving parent and terrorizing immigrants (and separating children from their parents).

I haven't seen any MAGA condemn the arrest of US citizens.

Just making note.

I'm not surprised.

Of course, they are. That's their job as the American Gestapo.

Bets that they'll be kicking in citizen's doors by the end of the year?

Yes, I realize they've already done so in Chicago with the apartment building raid, but I mean more brazenly as in no knock night raids of individual homes KNOWN to be citizens.

They will eventually drop the facade of being immigration enforcement and in a country awash with guns, that will guarantee eruptions of violence (imagine someone waking to their door being kicked in not expecting it to be federal "agents") as people will think they're acting in self-defense.

And then it will really get fun as even a few instances of that will be leveraged to the max by the administration.

Oh piss off moron. If you have to try this hard to avoid criticizing the current regime's entirely unprecedented actions you should just remain quiet.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now.

ONE dead ICE goon and all pretense of civil rights will be ditched.

After 9/11 and the Republican Party creation of DHS and ICE, the "long national emergency" commenced: AUMF, GWOT, and expedited removals of aliens through ICE. In the past quarter-century, the US administrations have been evenly split 50% between the GOP and the Democratic Party (12 years each).

We wouldn't expect Republicans to scale back DHS or reduce the enormous powers of ICE, but when the Democrats were in power, did they attempt to defang these agencies?

Very soon, our choices for dissent will be to be silent or to be silenced. And America is going to simply let it happen.

*whoosh*

I have criticized them. My point was how some people have undermined their own criticisms because they're demonstrably partisan. I've seen you make similar points, when you post sober and aren't just making knee-jerk reactions.

That's nothing more than a ridiculous strawman you've likely heard somewhere but haven't actually thought about.

MAGAts say un huh! (It's their best argument next to "it's not about who's right, it's about who's winning!)

Them ICEholes say they are only arresting hardened criminals!

Now who are you going to believe? The Trumptilians or your own lying eyes?

A friend's son was detained overnight here in Chicago just because of the color of his skin. Dad, a second generation citizen had no idea where his son was, but had to wait 48 hours to report missing. Son was not given a reason nor Miranda rights or even a phone call. He was released the next day without apology or reason.

The MAGAts love this.
