Is ICE Today’s Klan?
open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...
I believe that ICE could be considered the new face of the KKK, or at least a return to the original vision of local and state police whose principal purpose was to hunt down runaway slaves (now immigrants) and protect the landed gentry.

Is ICE Today’s Klan?

From concealed identities to sanctioned violence, the echoes between ICE raids and Klan terror are too loud to ignore…

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”
