Every Catholic ICE agent should remember the final words of St. Thomas More
“I am the King’s good servant, but God’s first.”
Right now, you’re serving an organization that defies our faith at every turn. You have seen it with your own eyes: cruelty celebrated, lies justified, families devastated.

Every Catholic Must Resign from ICE — Today

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?
Answer? He wanted a *war*.

Just want to remind everyone that ICE's jurisdictions stops 100 miles from the border and coast. Minneapolis is 300 miles from the border. "No you can not enter. Let me see a warrant. No warrant? Fuck you!" If they do anyways go silent. Say nothing. Hire a lawyer, you just won the lottery.
