As a taxpayer, I would actually prefer that you *not* continue to fund the fascist military machine that is being used to kill and kidnap people from our communities.

ICE is WHIPPING through my suburban neighborhoods — not uncommon to see them going 50 mph — race through red lights, veer across multiple lanes to get to off ramps, no blinkers. They’re going to hurt or kill someone (else)
One detail about the MPLS ICE invasion that I haven't seen many comment on: these goons drive like maniacs and they're eventually going to run someone over. They speed, run red lights every chance they get, and because they don't know the roads, they're constantly going the wrong way down one-ways.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House.
If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th?
Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

This is one of my fave stories. The traitor's battle flag was captured by the First Minnesota Infantry at Gettysburg. 3/4 of the regiment died that day. Va has repeatedly requested its return. MN gov Jesse Ventura notoriously responded, “Why? I mean, we won. We took it, that makes it our heritage.”
Minnesota folks are known to be nice, but they can also put up a hell of a fight when the cause is right.
(Also, they're keeping VA's confederate flag)

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
