This is tyranny any way you slice it. American citizens will be deprived of their 4th Amendment Constitutional rights, without question. Human beings will be deprived of human rights by our government. This needs to be resisted at every level, by all citizens.
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?

Please read and realize what has been broken does not go back together. Best case scenario: we now live in a country where federal law will be enforced (or not) in 180 degree opposite ways every time the White House changes hands.
“One thing that stuck out to me was [Bondi’s] insistence that we served at the pleasure of the president and that we were enforcing the president’s priorities. We swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.”

NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico.
Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico.
He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law.

Tyranny. And people just walk by. We are living an object lesson in how the Holocaust happened.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Miller is telling on himself here. If what ICE is doing is legal, then why would they need federal immunity? He's more or less admitting he understands it's not legal.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

More than 90% of American citizens' economic interests and protection under the law are tied much more closely to undocumented immigrants than they are to the oligarchic ruling class.
This fact is so terrifying to many who realize it, it forces their fragile psyches to believe the lies of the GOP.
