ICE really are the bad guys. It’s depressing reading about all of their shenanigans, although that’s nothing compared to the people who have been caught up in all of this.
Their prime weapon is fear. Fear and surprise. Pretty much everything they do requires deception of some sort. A common tactic is to wait outside courtrooms, usually masked, and wait for asylum seekers to leave their hearing. If asylum is not granted, ICE jumps in, arrests the person and deports them. This tactic has drawn so much criticism, ICE have started refusing access to public court buildings, so nobody can see what they are up to.
They have extended this to disguising themselves as utility workers in order to gain access to people’s homes. Then deportation etc. Even if this is not successful, it means that every knock at the door causes fear. That’s the point.
This is escalating. They raided a restaurant, looking for “illegals”. Big guns, paramilitary gear, flash-bang grenades to clear the restaurant. Maybe they’ve been getting pushback from the public and they aren’t taking any chances. This works until the other side tools up as well.
Local cops and the FBI are being pulled into this as the regime seeks to deport 3000 people per day. This should hit a target of a million per year.
And then what? Does the USA suddenly become blissfully happy? If not, why not? What is the point of doing all this?
