ICE is becoming the SS. Oh Lordy, will our country survive?

I’ve got a catchy name for it - “ICE SS”.

Seems pretty unlikely at this point.

Scary! No background checks is a huge red flag.

I guess it’s being obvious that I.C.E is being used to create a nationwide policing unit to be used at the discretion of the executive branch. Jan 6 was indeed only a rehearsal. All areas of total overthrow and subsequent management are being developed now and the next three years.

It IS.

The issue at hand is how to stop it.

Yes, a funny coincidence that our new government doesn't want us mailing our ballots…

Is DJT building up ICE as his private hit squad? Why are these unqualified unidentified persons being drawn in and paid so much when they are not being trained to respect people’s rights or the Constitution? What is their real purpose?

Both said & demonstrated that the purpose is to eliminate democracy, rule by force & dominance.

Great, now all the vigilante MAGAS/White Supremacists/Right Wing Extremists, who happen to be Veterans, can be fast tracked to working for our U.S. Govt, in law enforcement type positions. They are currently the #1 terror threat to the U.S.

I wonder if they will experience a big turnover in personnel when they begin sending these "immigration agents" after native-born dissidents whose only crime is saying mean things about Dear Leader? Nah, probably not!

Make no mistake about it: These ICE agents are J6ers, Proud Boys and MAGA masked thugs pretending to uphold the law. Their mission is obedience but their legacy will be SHAME. These are not soldiers of a nation. They are enemies of the people. Don’t call them law enforcement, call it what it is: state-sponsored terror.

Why are they masked? Defund The Abuse, no more tax paying dollars to pay for hate! Do NOT cooperate with them.

ONG, I just spoke your exact words to my husband, right before I read your comment. The way they talk to the bystanders, cursing denigrating “liberals” and their extremely violent handling of the people they kidnap!

NO background checks. Promise of sadistic impulses being rewarded - they’re deliberately filtering for the worst. As planned by the Heritage Foundation - and ignored by 80% of the country.

Where is our Shadow Gov when we really need one?

All those for profit prisons will be standing long after they finish deporting the first targeted groups.

Ready and waiting for more ‘enemies’ and ‘degenerates’.

Stop this world. I want to get off.

Mary, I told my husband earlier today that our democratic leaders need to form a shadow government. I truly believe that this is something that they MUST do. There is no ifs, ands or buts. The time is now.

The time was last Nov 4, at the LATEST actually 😤

This goon squad has been operating one since Jan 7, 2021.

The DC police went on a hiring binge a few years back and it didn’t go well. Look up “Operation Broken Faith”…

• Investigators found evidence of:

• Officers involved in drug trafficking.

• Officers protecting dealers or tipping them off about raids.

• Theft, bribery, and perjury tied to police work.

Don’t be surprised if ICE has the same issues, although they may not care.

Reading this gives me a lump in my throat, Dad and mad at what we have become. And all that push back in forgiving student loans under Biden but ok if you want to become a schoolyard bully ICE agent. I'm glad I am old and got to live in a free country.

Timothy McVeigh was a veteran. No doubt he’d have been first on the bandwagon for these jobs.

After listening and reading your words about the recruitment of people to work for ICE, I have a suggestion for the DOJ.

When looking for criminals, search the employed ICE agents first. There are probably a lot of tough guys/girls there, most without education or any other job references, but rap sheets that will tell you everything you need(ed) to know.

Wow! First, thank you for your service Allison! This is scary to say the least, more like downright terrifying. One would hope that most people/veterans have seen enough of what ICE is doing and decline to take their jobs much less volunteer to help the assholes! I thought our borders were secure per Trump and Noem so why the fuck do they need to hire anyone else? Are people quitting in protest of what they are asked to do? 🤔

No, the felon is building up a large Gestapo-like force to use when he declares martial law and has the rest of us under surveillance and house arrest.

We can only hope that the enticing financial benefits, esp. student loan forgiveness, will attract a lot of folks whose hearts are far from in it
