This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

It's time to stop letting them get away with describing ICE's operations as "law enforcement." It's not anything akin to that any longer, if it ever has been.
Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

Just a reminder that this is one of THE reasons that showing up en masse, and trying to delay ICE and get people's information when they're being detained is so important. If you want to slow the entire operation down, this is probably the best way to do it.
Reminder that "Delay, Disrupt, Defend" is important, but the most important part is "Defend," which means getting someone's name, and hopefully an emergency contact once it's clear they're being detained (THAT PART IS HARD TO DO QUICKLY THOUGH) so that their family can contact an org with lawyers.

“Federal troops are only supposed to protect people’s civil rights.” Instead, ICE violates people’s rights - and then Trump sends troops to protect ICE.
It’s fucking backwards.
