Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.

As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

It has seemed obvious that the point of the ICE buildup was never to focus exclusively, or even primarily, on immigrants. People should be asking themselves what the point of all of the detention facilities coming on line is.

A smarter agency would run this better. Try to talk to each other, offer water or something to show we understand you don’t think highly of what we’re doing, but as humans let’s find a way to work it out. However, they hired dumb aggressive we just wanna kill people cause we are still 15 inside.

And now the Trump regime is demanding details of all the Jewish people in Penn State Uni. Trump says it's to protect them, like the Germans told the Jews they were going to 'camps' to 'work'. Lies, lies & more lies and still the people are not rising up en masse.

@atrupar Have you seen this? “To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties.”

The United States of America is warring against its own citizens. "To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties...” WATCH:

If only Kavanaugh could be propped up in front of a large television screen with Clockwork Orange-style eyelid spreaders and forced to watch a loop of Kavanaugh Stops for several days straight.

At this point, all I can figure is they are trying to create content for Fox news and other right wing propaganda outlets. They are not dealing with undocumented immigrants effectively.

Right. So when politicians are pleading to “not take the bait” otherwise Trump will declare Martial Law and things will get bad, I’d like to know what the fuck they’re talking about.

The picture is horrifying but very powerful. This is what is happening everywhere in the US. We are under siege. Surprised that the New York Times had the courage to run this. They seem to be on the fence these days and with what's going on there is no middle ground. The line has been drawn.

It's amazing how all these immigration and border patrol agents are being sent to cities that are nowhere near the border and don't have an illegal immigrant problem - yet somehow are all in blue states.

We should stop using the word crackdown as it applies to immigration entirely.

Truly appreciate @dennycarter.bsky.social’s pushback on the usage of the term “crackdowns.” Applied to everything that authoritarians want to criminalize, including houselessness, it makes the innocent criminal by implication, and implies aggression as the solution. The results are clear, and evil.

Also, “arrests” makes it sound like actual law enforcement work instead of LARPing Nazis in military gear abducting people who haven’t committed crimes and will never face a judge.

Exactly. Using "crackdown" to describe Trump's brutal attacks on the population is propaganda suggesting genuine crime prevention. Phrases to use: Brutal attacks Manufactured crisis Authoritarian takeover Weaponization of the government Dog whistles Big Lies

No one wants to hear this but there is only one way this is going to go. Peaceful protests won't work. Massive numbers of people will have to overtake ICE and yes there will be casualties. History supports this.

They tried a women out of her screaming and crying. Left her car doors open in 20 degree weather. By standers went try and move the car and their was a baby in the backseat. Arrest convict and castrate. Post their names. Do fucking something law enforcement.

ICE is rapidly transition from the Gestapo to the SS - a political army aimed at ending dissent. They now have a flood of funding & are recruiting the worst of the worst. No doubt they also get heavier weapons. How will that work on January 6th 2028 if a Democrat wins?

This administration likes to call people "domestic terrorists" simply for exercising their First Amendment rights or simply for driving a vehicle. 18 U.S. Code § 2331 definition for "domestic terrorism" is a better match for ICE than for Renee Good or any other victim of ICE.

What kind of men would treat a woman like that. It's totally ridiculous. Not only does she appear to be a petite lady she does not appear to be a threat.

It's great folks are posting the horrors of the siege, but we also need a LOT more vids of people resisting: the teacher telling ICE to get out of her room; the family protecting the Door Dash person; the woman repeating, with an accent, that she's a citizen, won't show ID, until ICE goes away. 1/

There ARE more of us then them. Resistance works! We mustn't become discouraged -- overwhelmed -- that resistance is futile. It's not. All honor and respect to the folks in Minnesota showing us the way!

THIS IS A GESTAPO. THIS IS A KGB. THIS IS A STASI. THIS IS A GFP. THIS IS AN ÁVH. THIS IS AN OVRA. THIS IS A PIDE. THIS IS A CHEKA. THIS IS A BRCA. THIS IS A MS SOV-COM. THIS IS A HOOVER FBI. THIS IS A DOPS. THIS IS A DINA. THIS IS A SEGURIDAD NACIONAL. THIS IS A SEBIN. Wake up, Americans.
