Hey do people think they're helping by spreading that right wing fabrication about "Chicago gangs" waging war on ICE? "The cartel" is putting bounties on ICE agents heads? Do you listen to yourself? Doesn't this sound like the plot from an 80s movie? Are you stupid?

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

So are there NO actual police forces to protect a state from terrorism and invasion? Apparently, our Democratic states just have no options. We’re just gonna all be invaded, imprisoned and slaughtered, I guess. This is incomprehensible.

John Roberts is only a couple of steps from finishing off Democracy. He abandoned the Constitution years ago, no-one reported it straight up. the right wing lie machine continues to win.

No one knows how many people ICE has kidnapped, how many have been shipped overseas or how many are still detained. Many have no contact with family or any lawyers, and no one who knows them knows where they are. Many are being held indefinitely in facilities that refuse oversight

Imagine my surprise when Pat from SNL posted hundreds of vile, anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Hitler-loving messages.

Correction: I’m told that it was actually William Hendrix, who worked for Kansas Republican AG Kris Kobach.
