This is just policing, period. More overt in some ways. Most cops at least prefer to do state violence where they aren't going to be easily seen. But no real difference. Same rotten roots of the same rotten tree with rotten apples galore. There is no fixing this.

Respectfully, to the people saying abolition is wrong because we need to incarcerate ICE ghouls, I disagree.
ICE proves why Abolition is necessary, because any armed paramilitary force will eventually turn into what ICE is now.
We know this because so many police departments already did.

The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
