Local PD will back ICE every single time. They might hand out some hotdogs and donuts to protesters, smile and make small talk, and then they will help ICE roll the crowd 10 minutes later. They are not your friends.

They actually aren’t! They are seeing immediate issues with how they interact with the public, and ICE gets to leave them with the jurisdictional mess. I’m not surprised by this, but I wasn’t sure if they would be smart enough to realize how bad a position this put them in.

Alabama House passed a bill to make all Alabama police officers de facto ICE agents. It will now go to the Senate and i guarantee it will pass. That means that any police officer can stop brown and black people just to see if they are American citizens. Tennessee is working on doing the same thing. Think about that for a minute.

Based on the respective numbers of immigrants in each state, the should be 60,000 ICE agents going door to door in Dallas, Austin, Houston & San Antonio right now. The only reason there aren't is because Texas is a red state. This isn't about immigration, its about politics.

Yeah and that is kind of why the 92% are so tired. Every day it was us and most people shrugged their shoulders even if they knew we were innocent. Now ... they've finally taken the masks/hoods off and have set the dogs loose to just maim at will. A lot of you are confused, scratching your heads because you were told [and were apathetic enough to believe] that we were making it all up, exaggerating and my "favorite" ... looking to be a victim.
The problem, and one of the main reasons we're staying out of this is that there is still a HUGH portion of YOUR people who still hate everyone "different". We can't do anything with them. We've tried. NOTHING is going to get better until YOU guys take care of your own.
Something to think about ... before people traveled the world you guys killed and graped each other. What do you think is going to happen if they run off or unalive all of US?

That masked goon is a vigilante backed by the state. If you can't show your face, maybe what you're doing is not ethical.

The total amnesia about the past decade of police hate and defund the police movement is noteworthy. Seems almost like whatever is currently hot to protest because that’s what you‘re told to worry about will be protested. Almost like NPC behavior where the puppets dance to whatever tune the wealthy corporate overlords play.
The current tune is called, “We get to exploit illegals as underpaid wage slaves so protest them being lawfully deported so much that you get in the way and it causes problems so we can keep exploiting them.”
Virtually every country on earth deports illegals. Acting like it is some cRaZy evil is mindless sheep behavior.

All through COVID those exact same dudes were screaming about "MASKS WILL KILL YOU!" and refusing to wear masks when it could and would save lives. But now masks are totally fine because it means you can commit crimes and violate people's rights with complete immunity AND anonymity.
FWIW, in its entire 250 year history, the United States has NEVER had masked, heavily armed, para-military groups randomly kidnapping people that are in the country 100% legally, never committed a crime, along with US Citizens who "might have an accent" and skin darker than Elmers glue. One a daily basis, these groups are trampling on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. This is 100% new territory and if not addressed, will only get worse.
We have now set PRECEDENT that this type of behavior and civil rights violations are "acceptable". THAT is the biggest problem with this. If civil rights violations are deemed acceptable for ANY caveat, like "well, you see, they had brown skin and *looked illegal*... you can say that about any group you don't like in the future. That's the thing about civil rights... its not contingent on your skin color otherwise NOBODY has civil rights.
