⬇️ They are absolutely being trained to do this, and then to claim that they are being threatened and therefore justified in using deadly force. This is almost certainly coming down from Stephen Miller
Something that needs to be elevated is that ICE agents have been instructed to threaten and illegally detain legal observers. It's a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their 1st & 4th amendment rights.
Renee Good isn't the only victim ICE has targeted and won't be the last.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

1️⃣ Let’s be clear: Texas launched a political purge of educators. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the state encouraged districts to scour teachers’ private social media, triggering 350+ investigations, suspensions, & firings. This was intimidation. It was the state punishing thought.

In an attempted rewrite of history comparable to those which occurred often in the Soviet Union, Trump rewrites what happened on J6. The violence he inspired, resulting in the death of 5 police officers and about 140 injured officers bravely defending our Capitol, was, he says, the fault of Pelosi.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

You’re missing the part where they inevitably enact national ID & universal biometric identification. The very things conservatives once claimed would be unacceptable tyranny or even the mark of the Beast, but which they will blindly accept as legitimate because Trump, their god and king, says so.
Native-born American citizens don't have "immigration documents". And there's no requirement for naturalized citizens to carry their paperwork, either. And only about half of US citizens have a passport.
This is just fascism.

In Russia, Putin had a very popular late night comedian taken off the air for criticizing Putin's policy in Ukraine. This is what Trump wanted to do with Jimmy Kimmel. Here's NY Times gift article on the Russian comedian blacklisted by Putin www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/w...
