I think a lot of Americans have (understandably) assumed that this kind of brutal randomized street-level "papers please" enforcement has been how ICE has always done business.
It very much was not, until the past year.

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

Dear neighbor,
HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.
Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.
Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.
Why is any of this necessary?

I haven’t read a Carl Hiassen novel in some years, after a devouring at least a dozen in one sitting long ago. But this from 2020 is a riot. It opens with one of those Mar-a-Lago gargoyles getting eaten by a snake. There’s a lot of lampooning of Palm Beach and the Trumpy people. Two thumbs up.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
