I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

They will do anything to not be caught up in the Epstein files. No matter what lives are lost or who we have to bomb in the process. It’s simple if we find out the truth on the Epstein files the GOP and all of them are going down including the supreme court.
