Official DHS (ICE & CBP) Gestapo Thread

[hashmander]

Warrantless searches & seizures along with denial of due process are listed in the declaration of independence as some of the chief justifications for the revolutionary war. Combine this with gleefully killing people on camera in the middle of the street and kidnapping children to use as bait to hunt their parents and this is right at the point where it’s gonna boil over. These kind of abuses aren’t one that any sort of civilized nation can deal with for much longer.

as long as who the govt is abusing and killing is the "other" and it's a small number percentage wise, it can go on for a very long time.

Not when they’re publicly celebrating the murders and kidnappings in this manner. This is a clear and massive escalation of their past tactics. Unidentifiable masked men being publicly given the green light to travel from out of state to harass and terrorize populations not perceived as loyal to the ruling party is a huge shift from where we’ve been. Breaking into schools & day care centers, doing drive by shootings on the highway, all while explicitly saying the priority is purging the nation of anyone not white. These are not what has been going on. Combine this with an agency explicitly telling the public that the law is whatever they say it is and that there’s no legal recourse for stopping them and things are going to heat up rapidly. That last part, declaring themselves above the law, is what’s going to do it. If you present yourselves as lawful and try to use the cover of the law and due process to sanitize your abuses, you can get away with it for ages. They’re not doing that part anymore.

because they don't have to. they have a compliant population cheerleading them on. you give the people in this country too much credit.

The compliant cheerleaders are thousands of miles away in the southeast. Not the same thing as doing it where the population likes them.

Vance is good at sounding reasonable to the average independent CAC that does not want to think racism exists. If Trump was smart he would let speak more and less of Stephen miller. Both are dangerous but Vance puts a friendly face on the chaos

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fukking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on.

america didn't become anything. the voters finally have someone in the modern era who will carry out their most depraved fantasies without the pretense of so called values and rule of law.
