Wait. What?

TPSUA isn't going to die on this hill, they got what they wanted, so pathetic as the essay is, it served its purpose

Yeah, running cover for "papers please" and assisting CBP/ICE in disappearing people is honorable beyond belief. Just fucking American heroes

I'm happy to aim my ire at them, as well as the NG fuckers who are happily serving as their backup.

Im not a lawyer to formally define occupation, but when you are acting as armed backup to ICE/CBP demanding papers as you leave the Metro and armed backup to gangs of masked thugs pulling people out of cars to disappear them, Im not sure what else to call it.

No, it is an accurate representation of what is happening. Armed soldiers walking the streets are solely for intimidation and to serve as backup for CBP/ICE thugs demanding papers in the metro and the ones disappearing folks.

Yet here they are, occupying DC, serving as the backup for scum demanding papers in our metro, and ICE/CBP dragging people out of cars.

It has been inevitable from the jump. At some point when you are disappearing people and terrorizing cities you are going to get someone reacting.

Damn autocorrect on the typos.

There is a very definite reason (aside from their use as the backup heaviest when the various Fed agencies start doing their papers please bullshit). They are an everyday reminder that Trump can order an American city occupied by Red states troops and no one is able to do shit about it

Really good article. I'm appalled that FIFA kept the tournament here once it became clear that it was going to be an issue with banned countries. In addition, I'm sure a subset of fans are going to become familiar with CBP in a negative way

I want this to flop so badly for DC United. 37 degrees and raining, Messi announced out. Just a straight, gross cash grab for ownership, and basically giving up a home game for Messi fanboys

Sucks to be the face and not the leopard
