For years, Trump has spun immigrants, reporters, and anyone he dislikes as the "enemy." This created dehumanizing and legitimizing ideology on which he and his administration are now arresting, brutalizing, and killing his invented "enemy."
Terrorism, crime and cruelty have been the plan all along.

Lyin' Trump said "We’re going to de-escalate [ICE] a little bit," but reports are saying there have been no signs of de-escalation and ICE terrorists are out there hunting innocent children.

If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, hunting children, taking trophies from their victims, and hurting and killing innocent people?

The ICE terrorists need to be stopped. This cannot be sustained. It weakens our nation more every day this racist madness continues.

"Terrorism" refers to violence to achieve political ends. Research studies showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes means that ICE's actions are about Trump's racist politics, not law. That means ICE operates as a de facto racialized terrorist organization, not unlike the Gestapo.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

It's been six weeks now and even with the latest dump, they still haven't fully released the Epstein files as required by law because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

When you pay attention to the tons of research evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them.

I think it's pretty clear that any Epstein file that would damage Trump will not be released under some invented pretense. These are the people, after all, who think someone throwing a sandwich is an "attack" and part of a "deep state" and that an escalator glitch requires a criminal investigation.
