Today’s ICE doesn’t wear steel-toed boots. The untrained goons who comprise ICE forces are sporting everyday footwear and “the hoodies their wives bought on sale at Kohl’s,” in the words of Noel Casler.

ICE wears masks while ignoring the law, but Trump sends in more forces to end protests and says civilians are not allowed to wear a mask. That is the type of BS you see in a dictatorship. Welcome to dictatorship America!

There is a coup in progress. Trump is trying to provoke a situation where he can declare Martial Law and suspend the Constitution. He has always waved around the Insurrection Act of 1807. This is key to become the dictator he dreams of.

Make no mistake about it: Trump and MAGA’s hatred and racism is the cause of whatever happens.

They blame immigrants so you won't blame THEM!

How about wearing this "Keep the immigrants, deport the racists" t-shirt in front of these bigots? 🤔 👇

You are absolutely right, Heather. If we don't stand up to that orange turd we are going to find ourselves in 1930s Germany. We are getting there fast enough as it is.

It could be that the plain clothes Gestapo agents are not of the ICE agency but come from the Orange Cheeto's J6 paramilitary group released from prison included but not limited to the Proud Boys 3percenters and other far right extremist groups The reason for hoodies and face masks is to avoid identification This should be a "project" by the same groups that helped identify the J6 insurrectionists

I've thought this all along. Trump pardoned them so he could use them now.

What is substack doing with these comments? I've heard nothing from the CEOs. Why?

He's building his own private militia.

Trump will probably send outside agitators to turn up the heat.

He already has. Who do you think started cars on fire?

I believe you might be correct about that, not all of these so called ICE agents have ID letters on their Kevlar jackets!

If they aren’t deputized(think Oath Keeper’s ‘training’ videos and the MAGA militia)then what they are doing is kidnapping. Since their faces are covered and they move in unison like a….oh wait. They don’t move in unison at all. Therefore, I’m putting my money on them being homegrown militia. It certainly explains why the initial ICE raids had the agents in casual ‘uniforms’ and wearing masks. Easier to hide the ‘agents’ that shouldn’t be there.
