At this very moment, ICE is undergoing a transformation into a political police force.

Recent leaks show that
💥secret ICE programs seek to exploit every detainee to acquire information,
💥and they aim to deploy up to 2000 “intelligence” assets into communities around the country for the purpose of spying on migrants and citizens alike.

These operations
—and the strategy of the Department of Homeland Security in general
—are not just targeting immigrants;

They are also intended to target opponents of the Trump regime.

The administration alleges threats from so-called “Antifa” and the “radical left”
to justify their authoritarian consolidation of power.

But the fact that the FBI called Renee Good a domestic terrorist
and pressured prosecutors to investigate her widow
shows what they mean by these terms.

The “radical left” is a catch-all term that will be retroactively deployed to describe anyone who is randomly murdered by federal agents
—or anyone that they would like to murder.

Whenever they say “radical left,” they are saying that they intend to go on murdering people the way that they murdered Renee Good,
and they intend to do so with impunity.

When the Department of Homeland Security posts a meme on its official social media account promoting “100 million deportations,”
it should be clear to all that ICE is not just targeting those who currently lack the proper immigration documents.

They have all of the hundreds of millions of people who oppose the Trump agenda in their sights.

Given a free hand, they will kidnap or murder every single one.

@cdarwin ICE is committing horrible abuses, but they are also training us NOT to be complacent citizens. I hope the latter is the lasting legacy.

The situation in Minneapolis is not like anything we’ve seen before.

It’s not just an uptick in raids.

It is a full-scale military occupation, confronting you wherever you go.

You can’t drive more than a couple blocks without seeing roving bands of cars with tinted windows containing masked men in full military equipment:
helmets, balaclavas, long guns, tactical equipment, crowd control munitions.

They pull up to bus stops, leap out, grab a brown person, shove them in the car, then speed away.

They don’t check papers.

Some people have been held in detention centers for weeks before it came out that they were US citizens.

We are witnessing a #racial #pogrom.

Following a July 4th rally at the
ICE-operated
#Prairieland #Detention #Center in Alvarado, Texas,
an officer
👉allegedly sustained a gunshot injury.

The officer in question
⚠️has no medical records substantiating this claim,

but the authorities
💥arrested nine people that night and ten more in the months since.

🆘 All nineteen now face the threat of decades in prison on account of their alleged connection with the rally or else for their political beliefs alone.

One Dallas teacher,
#Dario #Sanchez, faces state charges for allegedly removing someone from a Signal group chat.

#Daniel #Sanchez #Estrada,
a local artist,
faces federal charges for carrying a box of pamphlets out of his wife’s home.

Neither of these individuals were even at the Prairieland Detention Center for the rally in question

@cdarwin I feel comparing ICE to the Gestapo is incorrect and The NKVD of Stalins USSR is a better comparison. I might be wrong.

@aadeacon @cdarwin

I think the goal is to provide a point of comparison that is accurate enough, and that the average American will recoil in disgust from. "Gestapo" harnesses all those Hollywood movies images, and so works best. I might be wrong though.

@jztusk @aadeacon @cdarwin I have recently been convinced that "slave catcher patrols" is the most accurate term.
