Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Look closer and notice the ICE vehicle not using any lights. None.
That is why the bus was continuing to drive by. Now remove the your prior knowledge that ICE is operating here. Youre the bus driver approaching a white SUV and a commotion on the sidewalk.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks

There are correct STRATEGIES to deal with Nazis.
You make it personally and collectively costly for them, and you leverage that cost to make them slink away from the public sphere.
You figure out how to get them back under their rocks, and then you upturn those rocks so they scatter. You repeat.
