In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Trump is building an army loyal to him alone, and paying them up to $250k/year. If you can’t see ICE for what it is yet, then you’re not going to until it’s too late.
