All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:
1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.
2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

The SAVE Act is meant to make voting harder and more intimidating so people don't do it. When you combine it with ICE agents potentially being deployed at the polls, it's clear what Trump is trying to do before the midterms - make it harder to vote.

Just saying, if that is the current situation here in the United States—having not been our situation for 200+ years—such that law enforcement cannot operate without concealing their identities, then obviously the ruling party, the Republicans, has failed and must thrown out of office and disbanded.
Ron Johnson: "In Central America, I found out that if you become the new police chief, you get a DVD from the friendly drug cartel with your children and wife going into school and church ... there's such a demand for unmasking ICE officers, but they've been doxxed."

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
