Post

Countless articles over the past year quoted hundreds of employers stating that Latino-American workers who are citizens are afraid to show up to job sites for fear of being profiled and detained. If they are afraid to go to work, they damn sure won’t go to vote with ICE there.

Because ICE means to harass all of US. Because ICE brutalizes people. Because Trump is trying to steal the election. Because it's unAmerican. Because the right to vote free from intimidation is fundamental to our democracy. Because people defending this fascist regime are infuriating and exhausting.

All they need to do is show up with guns and bad intent, question the citizenship of non -whites at the polling stations, and declare those sites as "illegal".

Mike Lee is as dumb as they come. ICE agents at polling stations would be unAmerican, illegal and unconstitutional. The real question is why Mike Lee wouldn't know that.

Plus, it’s not like ice hasn’t ever been known to just up and shoot American citizen, exercising their constitutional right or anything

If Mike Lee read Hebrews, 10 commandments or perhaps Sermon on the Mount; he'd know people of faith are called to help the least of us, love our neighbors & not be a**holes. Mike is a loser who loves getting quoted for saying stupid schite.

There's simply no way to mask or to hide one's White privilege. I don't think Sen Lee will ever "get it." It's not people like him that will be harassed, intimidated, threatened, and even detained at work, polling, stations, etc. It's brown, Black, and other people who are obviously not white.

...and shooting a person 5 times who lived to talk about it. Are trump homan miller noem going to ensure these victim survivors get the BEST medical care? Are trump homan miller noem going to ensure the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are properly taken care of (financially)?

It is also against the law for police to be at polling locations. In pennsylvania police can only be there under 2 conditions. 1. One of them is actively voting, 2. They are called by the Constable, who IS allowed to be there.

Mike Lee needs to spend less time on X and more time with the thousands of Latinos in Utah who feel threatened by the racist policies of the criminal trump organization, especially ICE thugs.

Armed ICE agents wearing masks with a history of killing American citizens in cold blood are intimidating. They should not be in polling places and I believe it is illegal to have them there.

Mike Lee & his fellow republicans know no limits to their ignorance & hatred. Please, VOTE their asses out of office. It’s that important.

Because as a white woman and a citizen of the US, I might get shot in the face 3 times and the guy trying to help me, a healer, and a white citizen of the US might get shot 10 times in the back. We aren't ready to be dead, yet. Especially being murdered in the street for going to work.

And when we and non-whites resist arrest, I hope the Dems and left-wingers will cheer for us. Trump will obviously be a screaming manbaby trying to enslave us.

White woman citizen here - When I parked to vote in my red state during Obama's first term Wilford Brimley's body double marched over to me and started screaming in my face, You for Obama?! He kept it up as we we stood in line to check in. No one lifted a finger to stop him.

Intimidation, voter suppression, scaring innocent people away from trying to vote, fear of being shot like several Americans ICE has killed already, Possibly? ICE is lawless, cruel, incompetent & needs anger management like most MAGA!

DUH!!!… because f-ing ICE goons have blatantly said they grab people based on skin color, if they have accents, if they “think” someone ‘must be’ or ‘probably is’ a migrant or immigrant (which they use interchangeably)… immigrant citizens have a right to be terrified. So does everyone else!

Why? Um...because it's illegal? 18 U.S. Code § 592. Once again, Republicans are fine with shredding the Constitution if it helps them amass power and wealth.

Because ICE agents literally shot and killed a man who tried to help a woman off the ground who was harassed by ICE. They clearly won’t hesitate to shoot someone for voting.

It’s not just Latino voters that will be intimidated…many others might feel afraid/vulnerable as well. It’s not only Latino people who have been arrested, imprisoned, or jailed simply by being in the vicinity. The intimidation and violence of ICE is by design. It’s how fascism works after all.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THEY'VE MADE ABSOLUTELY SURE TO FALSELY ARREST AND DETAIN PEOPLE, EVEN CITIZENS, SOLELY BASED ON RACE. THE "MISTAKES" ARE ON PURPOSE. THEY ARE DELIBERATE. THIS WILL HAVE BEEN 2 YEARS OF PLANNED RIGHTS VIOLATIONS WITH THE INTENT, IN PART, TO GENERATE THE DETERRENT EFFECT.

They've killed at least 3 people, likely dozens more and bragged about creating "seven holes" from shooting a woman five times. But Mike is the same person who thought it was HILARIOUS when Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in cold blood, so it's likely he truly doesn't get it.

tie this in with trump’s focus on vbm, that if you force people to polling locations, put elements of intimidation whether ice, military or militias you can definitely alter the voting in key states, you may not find ice intimidators in Alabama but you’ll find them in CA, PA, NY

This is obviously a bad-faith question- it turns out that ICE is kidnapping and murdering citizens as well. That they're profiling non-whites and likely D voters is obvious and it's disingenuous of Lee to pretend otherwise; he's trying to make vote interference seem reasonable

Republicans like Mike Lee know for a fact that undocumented immigrants aren’t voting. The question is, why do these republicans want to pass new voter suppression laws and intimidate voters at the polls with armed, masked and violent ICE agents?

Mike Lee, like every other extremist MAGA Republican, refuses to acknowledge that reason illegal immigrants won’t attempt to go to polls is because it’s already illegal, has been for years, unlike misinformation they regularly spew, it’s never been a problem… Where’s proof, Republicans have none?

Are this real americans who protect the unlawfull actions of ICE ? Are this posts from the US or from Asia and russia ? Is it such hard to read about the wotld history and to use your own Brain ? Goebbels would be proud of the american gouverment.

Mike Lee is a nasty, terrible, human. I thought Mormons were supposed to be super-christians? (☝️Smartassery. Not a serious question.)

And there's the rub!! This admin has terrified immigrant population the whole point - look up the definition of terrorist - not being able to suppress our right to vote - "BY THE PEOPLE" - So the next best is to ensure that not all eligible voters will vote. They dont want a vote at all.

In addition to fracturing people’s skulls, beating people on camera, pepper spraying people that are subdued on the ground, dragging people out of their shattered car window, detaining people then releasing them in the middle of nowhere with no phone and no jacket…

Yes, well, the fascists are going after those as well, and also, considering my recent experience with mail forwarding – or lack of such--my faith in the USPS is at an all-time low.

And why as a citizen should i be subjected to a reckless violent ICE agent who himself is likely a criminal when i just want to do my civic duty and VOTE. F THEM

Maybe because ICE keeps arresting and even murdering citizens? Then there’s that whole voter intimidation thing. And seizing ballots. And there was that small insurrection to overthrow the government…. The sad thing is the folks posting this are already disenfranchised and don’t know it.

And, let’s not forget: “Dominion Voting Systems sold to company run by former Republican election official. Liberty Vote called its purchase of Dominion "a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America." "As of today, Dominion is gone," the statement said. 😑

I live in Costa Rica now. Told my Costa Rican friend who is also a US citizen with US passport, not to go back to his home in Georgia. And yes, I was right it has gotten as bad as I thought it would. I feared, David would be deported to a prison in Africa or El Salvador. Just for being Latino.

....because ICE/CBP agents regularly shoot, kill, mame, illegally detain, and generally ruin the lives of American citizens... All. The. Time. Every day. Day-in-day-out. Why would anyone want people who have a high propensity of doing that to them anywhere (nevermind a polling location)?

Just have papers at the ready if needed. Laughable that they think that Democrats are afraid of ICE at the polls. I'll be there no matter what! It's about the fact that Trump & CO. want to intimidate anyone who votes. Think again wannabe King.

Maybe bc it’s completely unnecessary? Or bc the presence of LE is intrinsically intimidating (& you fucking know it you disingenuous ass)? Or could it be bc they are blatantly breaking fundamental laws of due process, innocence until proven guilty, etc. regardless of citizen status? Take your pick.

Frightening revelations coming to light why the government is doing stuff. I have read why leaders are staying quiet, but if this madness continues much longer-there will be no way back. This is how it feels and like it or not, what happens over there usually picks up over here (UK). What the heck 🥲

If Non- citizens can't vote why is Ice going to poling locations Traitor, Pedo Protector Lee?! Non-citizens won't be there, you get it Brainless?!

First answer this, if these undocumented people are drains on the economy why are the ice nazis arresting them at their places of business and why don’t you arrest the owner of the business who broke Federal Employment laws by hiring them in the first place? Oh, that’s right, the employers are white

mike lee is an idiot. Democrats know that non-citizens don't 🗳 vote. ICE goons are near polling places to INTIMIDATE USA citizens to keep them from voting per FELON47 donOLD.

Could you imagine what this ass clown would do if the shoe was on the other foot...if he had to carry his goddamn "papers" everywhere he goes in fear of getting detained? I hope these assholes are held accountable in November because this "why should they be afraid!?" is rage bait bullshit. 🤬

They cant vote anyway!!!!!!! However, I dont want a bunch of assholes loyal to the President trying to bully people at the polls. They think themselves cops but just a gang of tattooed violent neanderthals that should be in prison rather than walking the streets killing citizens. #FuckIce #Noem4Jail

Blue state governors must be prepared. Find multiple angles and ways to facilitate voting and mitigating ICE harrassment. From police and overwhelming numbers of people protecting the polling places so that ICE cannot approach citizens that are there to vote. Get creative and find solutions.
