Which insurrectionists are working for ICE?

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

As they should! According to internal documents first published by journalist Ken Klippenstein, ICE leadership has begun issuing warnings that read less like standard workplace memos and more like instructions for undercover operatives operating in hostile territory.
ICE Agents Say They’re Afraid to Go to Work — And They’re Pointing the Finger at Kristi Noem

NEW: A note apparently from AFSCME Council 5 says they confirmed Hennepin Healthcare is "complying with a request" from DHS "for access to employee I-9 forms" which could lead to the "potential targeting of workers based on immigration status".
Interim CEO of Hennepin Healthcare resigned Tuesday.
They also called for Sheriff Dawanna Witt to instruct her dept to trespass ICE. There is chatter about HCMC employee data sought by ICE. A labor leader source said HCMC is in the process of giving Homeland Security access to employee I-9 data. HCMC said “We will guard the privacy of our patients.”
