This is an example of why we need to pass some legislation regarding law enforcement of all stripes lying to people. Other countries, including Canada, have. Why is okay for law enforcement to lie to us but we can’t lie to them? Make that make sense!

Yep, but at this point, we're well beyond that. We need to separate law enforcement from the executive. Find a way for them to be independent, so everyone is beholden to justice, and keep them beholden to every branch of the Federal government. Of course, we first need to idiotproof government.

I’ve been pondering this at the federal level. My brain keeps returning to a 4th branch this is comprised of civil service/independent agencies. Agencies like the DoJ should be there. CDC/FDA. Not a fully fleshed out thought yet but something I’ve been mulling over.

I've had that thought as well, and things can work, but we also need to separate power from corruption. The people who make the laws can't be allowed to govern themselves, or they must give up most rights in order to SERVE. Total transparency. Nothing unrecorded. No ownership of investments.

So, basically, if you don't know the face of the person at your door the best advice now is to send them away no matter what. Can't take the chance it's not ICE. Can't take the chance ICE cares if you are a citizen.

Law enforcement officers can and often do lie. ICE takes it to a whole new level. These thugs are covering up for crimes & even murders, like the ones happening in detention as well as the 1 we all witnessed to mother of 3, Renee Nicole Good. Call Congress: 202-224-3121 bsky.app/profile/male...

"WHERE IS MY MOMMY?" Imagine if this were your child. Imagine your child lost BOTH parents! This administration is destroying families. It's traumatizing millions! What kind of person is okay with that? Call your Senators & demand they redirect ICE funding. 202-224-3121! No caving tolerated!

Like disguising a military plane as a civilian plane to attack boats in the Caribbean. Or, y’know, wearing ICE costumes to disguise the criminal thugs wearing ‘em.

Call the utility company to find out if workers are in your area. Report the goons to the police. There is no difference between an ICE agent and a public citizen climbing utility poles and accessing meters. It is vandalism and a threat to our grid.

This has been ongoing for nearly two weeks, enragingly enough. bsky.app/profile/opb....

An Oregon lawmaker is warning of ICE agents posing as utility workers. NW Natural and Portland General Electric have published guidance in several languages on how to tell if a person is actually one of their employees.
