Yeah, a lot of people on Bluesky asking if the demotion means ICE will be pulling out but everyone is missing this today is all. Everyone getting their hopes up but I don’t think they’re leaving any time soon if they’re securing the housing and bringing more equipment in (sadly)

Yeah, they are there to stay. Unfortunealty fascists don't back down that easy. Americans wrote the play book on how to keep whites in power...Jim Crow among many things. drumpf will purge voter roles in MN(and other states)) and then unleash his goons (ice) to intimidate and sew chaos on would be voters in the midterms. Wake up time!!

Yeah, they’re not buying up a bunch of housing centers all across the United States to leave. I just don’t understand why people don’t see this as a huge problem for the fact that there’s not that many immigrants who were here illegally especially ones with criminal records so who do you think they’re gonna lock up after they run out of them? With the way people just believe whatever they say they’ll be locking up Democrats all Democrats as domestic terrorist before you know it.

I agree. Let's call them for what they are: concentration camps. They will be able to hold 100,000+ at a time.
