#ICE isn't deporting immigrants. Biden deported more than Trump. ICE is kidnapping them to squirrel them away in a labyrinth of detention centers, used to funnel money into the pockets of contractor cronies of Trump.

Trump threatened ICE raids at the World Cup. I wonder if the silly "FIFA Peace Prize" was to buy him off so he wouldn't interfere. Both FIFA & Trump are so corruptly transactional, it would work that way. Or course, money may have changed hands, too.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

A group of seven Nazis carrying racist signs outside a Westwood theater in 1967 were protesting the movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” which portrays an interracial romance. They got their asses beat. Let's do more of this.

A competent, honorable, trustworthy president would not have lied about rampant crime to falsely justify deploying troops against community wishes for political theater in the first place. If you are currently in the military you are not defending this country. You are the pawn of American fascism.

Hey Judges, you could just, you know, stop deferring judgement based appeals that haven't been filed yet and, like, execute an order that removes unnecessary and in most cases illegal escalation of domestic tensions.

Noem decided not to turn deportation flights around after judge’s order, DOJ says
The flights, this past March, have become a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s mass deportation strategy, and his administration’s pattern of apparently defying court orders.
