This morning, at 7:40AM, we alerted neighbors in Midtown Phillips about ICE idling in the neighborhood. I don’t know what today has in store for our community, but as always, be safe and support your neighbors during these hard times. I’ll keep you updated as the day progresses.

Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

2) do not protest in a way that makes anyone angry
3) do not whistle; do not honk horns
