Occasionally I check Nextdoor for community notes. A couple of days ago a person posted an image detailing the new ICE office at 774 Park Meadows Rd in Westerville, Ohio, and so I made the classic mistake—I read the comments.

Warning: These comment contain misinformation and egregious behavior.
I support ICE!!
[FALSE STATEMENT] ICE is enforcing the law. They are not going after American citizens. Illegal immigrants only. What is ICE supposed to do if someone in a house being searched refuses to show ID
[FALSE STATEMENT] When you fight federal agents or run them down with a vehicle, good things will not happen to you.
[FALSE STATEMENT] about 170 US citizens have been detained NOT deported and they are being detained because they associate with ILLEGAL immigrants.
Thanks for posting, it's not far away. I'll drop off some cookies and coffee for the agents.
I totally support ICE and their mission.
[FALSE STATEMENT] Comparing modern immigration detention facilities to the Holocaust is morally unserious and historically grotesque
[in response to the post] So WHAT
that doesn’t mean to stop going after the CRIMINAL ILLEGALS. Plus police detain all sort of people. MOVE ONGod Bless you all for protecting me & family & community from 4 yrs of unvetted invasion !
[ACCUSATORY STATEMENT QUESTIONING PEOPLE’S AWARENESS] Funny how I didn’t see you all calling out a bunch of bs when Obama did more than this administration.

I’ll be looking into becoming a nationwide customer! I hope ice comes and stays!that’s me! I’m the bootlicker! Trump is a godsend- and ICE is his tool!
[FALSE STATEMENT] Thank you for letting us know ICE is on the job in Westerville enforcing the laws of our land!
[FALSE STATEMENT] Protection moving closer! What my taxes pay for!
Good - more ice to clean out Columbus !!!!!
Yeah, there are a lot of shit people in this state.
There was one anecdote detailing ICE racially profiling and illegally pulling over a citizen, which of course all of the above commenters ignored, which kind of proves their intentions as supporters of fascist policy and action.
