We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

How much more will Americans endure before they realise that they are now in a dictatorship?
This is getting way beyond a joke.
How can so many in the military and others blindly follow orders to attack and intimidate their own countrymen.

Trump is using his paramilitary force (ICE) to attack blue states and funding it with taxpayer dollars. We are way past the blue states withholding tax revenue to the federal government. They’re using our own money to kill us. Enough.

I suspect ICE came down on Minneapolis because they thought it would be easy to provoke rioting there & declare martial law.
That has not proved to be the case.
ICE is further escalating now as a last ditch effort to incite civil unrest.
Hang on, Minneapolis.

The worst part about all of this is that the US has officially lost ALL credibility internationally now. It will take decades to recover from this insanity, if we ever recover at all.
If the current regime continues to get their way, we could very well have a completely shattered republic soon.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

If I see a single spineless lick-spittle Dem vote for ICE funding, I will never let them forget it. I will make sure everyone knows what they voted for until they are removed from office.
Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.
