Per the WSJ, as of January 10th this year, ICE has identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles, leaving eight people shot with two confirmed dead. Five of those shot were citizens. According to court records, only one of these civilians was armed and never drew his weapon.
There is a sickness curdling in the dark corners of Silicon Valley. These people need to be humiliated for being the sniveling, authoritarian toads that they are.
There are reports that ICE threw a flash bang into a vehicle last night that contained a father trying to leave with his children to get them to safety.
> This is really over for anyone who opposes us. The Lord saved Donald Trump from assassination and is using him as His instrument. The cognitive dissonance to continue to resist the Will of God and will of the people which are united, is just pure bitterness of loss and defeat.
Let's be honest, you aren't gonna believe video, either. It's a matter of literal religious faith for you.
How or why people tie a religion centered around the brown jewish dude in Palestine who advocated for the poor, the sick, the needy, the disabled, and immigrants....with a fat pedophile who wears orange makeup is just strange to me.
I wish that post hadn't been flagged. It's pretty fucking terrifying reading what some of these MAGAs believe and it should be highlighted. The amount of comments praising the Lord and hailing Trump as some savior Messiah when he was elected is extremely disturbing.
"Internal bleeding covers a wide range of severity, from minor bruising to life-threatening injuries… The day after the fatal Jan. 7 shooting, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters Ross had been taken to the hospital, but he was released and home with family... DHS declined to answer USA TODAY's additional questions about the injury."
You really do not add much value to any conversation you're a part of. The reading comprehension just isn't there. It remains true, my views are gained from submission to my faith. I recognize they're not my views. It's submission to our higher power. The difference is that you think your views are yours. But you're a moral relativist being manipulated. Blowing with the wind in society, you're a "cool guy". Anything goes. You wouldn't want to rock the boat on the latest thing coming out of your tribe, now would you. You might have to man up and be uncomfortable, taking an actual counter-cultural stand for once. Not happening Chris.
This is just more of the same. These things you accuse others of are simply your own insecurities. Every single word, at least in these last two comments.
Who here has said anything of substance in response to anything I've said? Not you. You're not countering anything I said, offering no new information, not even offering a counterpoint to anything. Just pure ad hominins. Yes, it's absolutely pathetic and not uncommon anymore. You're just neffing and signaling that you dislike my position and views. Too bad. Talking about insecurity. That's the only "more of the same" going on here.

Looking up the violent crime rates by migrants in places like MN, it's effectively zero. As a rule, migrants and immigrants don't commit crimes at anything close to the rate of native US citizens.
Meanwhile in Minneapolis, the overwhelming majority of violent crimes (including aggravated assaults, theft, murders and sexual assaults) are being committed by ICE agents.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? If all ICE did was deport immigrants, following the established laws and procedures, I would agree with you. As it stands, ICE is more evil, because they are abusing power and breaking laws they are supposed to uphold. And they're able to do so because people like you enabled those who are letting ICE get away with it.
The govt contract with them should be voided. That's the way.
But in the US no one believes they can meaningfully influence govt for real issues. And they are right.
Sure you can get them to paint a rainbow zebra crossing. /s
But not stop/prevent a (civil) war. Democracy dies and lobbyism (what we call corruption in "modern western democracies" -- because we dont do corruption, that's for poor countries!) takes over when the power is consolidated at a high enough level.
In the meantime, between now and the elections, what is a good method for deterring tech people from working for ICE? They are administering an authoritarian state today.
