If your version of Christianity tells you to respect Donald Trump, JD Vance, Kid Rock & Turning Point USA...
...then it's a good thing you've never read the Jesus parts of the Bible bc you'd absolutely HATE the woke main character.

Disbanding ICE & CBP and banning its members from ever holding any office of trust under the United States, including as local cops, would be an anti-crime measure
"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005."
"it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

One of the first acts in the coup of any country is controlling or, if necessary, destroying the press. This is what we are witnessing.

Any DOJ official who orders or executes an illegal order should be arrested NOW.

The arrests of Lemon and Fort are intended to deter journalists from doing work we need them to do, and that the First Amendment was meant to protect. DOJ should drop these prosecutions or the courts should throw them out. knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

Good 🧵
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

The Star Tribune found him. His name is Jon Ross. He’s a 43-year-old field agent based out of St. Paul.
Kristi Noem gave him up by mentioning he was dragged by a vehicle last year at a press conference earlier today.
Notably, during that incident, he used a taser.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.
