Shrouded in secrecy, the US law enforcement agency has become a kind of domestic stormtrooper for MAGA’s agenda
Across the US, group chats and community threads have started spiking with warnings. Not just the typical alerts about traffic or out of service subway stations, but where and when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid was last seen. What places to avoid. What the plainclothes agents might look like.
“Hey all,” a Brooklyn, New York, resident wrote in a closed chat with neighbors last week. “A little birdie just told me ICE is out.” Another person quickly followed suit.
“The witness says they saw 3 people picked up by 2 agents with ICE on their vests,” they said, with details on where the location of the arrests occurred and what the undercover vehicles looked like. “If anyone sees any ICE agents or activity you can drop a description at this link for local rapid-response folks.”
These kinds of exchanges are commonplace now in in America.
Never forget how this organization was emboldened and allowed to be normalized under dem presidents too. Obama and Biden both had heavy pushes for deportation, yet you never saw that criticism come up from mainstream dems, or even the fringe ones. Don’t get it twisted; I know who the more harmful variety of politicians are, but change can’t happen until we hold everyone accountable regardless of who is in office. So many people only pay attention when a president they don’t like is in office and then turn their brain off as soon as their candidate gets in.
If it walks like fascism, quacks like fascism…
Ice didnt exist 25 years ago, they’re not a necessary agency, just more federal bloat and over reach of law. I thought Republicans were supposed to hate those things.
Maintaining order is essential to them; building a functioning and stable society is not.
Yeah, its a real mystery. How did this happen?
“Rogue agency that does [leader’s] bidding” - where have I seen this before?
Metal gear?
