Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

As I've been saying, Trump has been running the federal government like an organized crime enterprise. Shocking as this latest development may be, it is but one example.

Trump must be impeached and removed if our constitutional republic is to survive.

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.

It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.

Face it.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should.

It is time to defund ICE!
