Masked ICE agents rushing into churches during holiday season services seems like an incredibly devious and vile strategy until you consider that these are the kinds of human beings who pride themselves on their lack of empathy and compassion. They are happy to let it define them & their inhumanity.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said Hu, “you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.”
New Yorkers responding to raids and bracing for more are taking a cue from activists there, passing out thousands of whistles in recent weeks as a low-tech way to alert people of ICE activity when they see it.

In 2023, the DeSantis administration changed FHP's pursuit policy & gave troopers more freedom to chase vehicles. The result has been more innocent casualties after the chases tragically end.

The latest is in Tampa but do a search for "crazy FHP pursuits" and there are numerous video examples.
