The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.
They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.
But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for the people it detains, often using third-party providers to do so.
But, despite ample funding, the agency has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025.

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

ICE recruits were sent into the field without required training because their AI app flagged anyone with "officer" on their resume as a prior law enforcement officer. Recruits who listed "compliance officer", for example, were assumed to have had prior law enforcement experience.

🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers.
A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers.
The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025.
