ICE=Illegal Criminal Enterprise
ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Businesses should also have signs: "For security reasons, those wearing masks will not be admitted." This can be used also as a "deterrent" to holdup attempts ...
This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

AOC speaks to truth ... @aoc.bsky.social
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

And where is the "Don't Tread on Me" crowd? Oh, never mind, they're wearing the masks ...
All the gun rights people who claimed they needed their guns in case it became “necessary to the security of a free State…” um this would be your moment.

The White House will have an answer "in two weeks."

Why is there no local police presence around these incidents in Minnesota?

Truth!
“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

🔥 @redstateupdate.bsky.social (MURFREESBORO): “Where are all the anti-tyranny people now?? The government is shooting people in their cars, and the people who wanted to rise up against the government, guess what they’re doing? Applying for jobs with ICE.”

This is vital info. Thank you.

... and the president takes off on golf weekend
In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

It was three shots, instead of 41 shots, but still, in the words of Bruce Springsteen - "You can get killed just for living in your American skin." Say. Her. Name. Renee Good.

ICE agents don't have authority to make traffic stops on a municipal street. For all we know, they're masked thugs bent on carjacking. I rue the day when someone exercises their 2nd Amendment right.
Question for legal minds...if ICE agents refuse to provide identification, doesn't that make it legal for citizens to act out in defense? We dont know who they really are. They refuse to provide identification. Fighting back seems beyond legal to me.

This! 👇👇👇
Masked agents and Trump coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
One dead in Minneapolis

Gotta get down to it, masked agents are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

They're not legit cops. Police have rules and guidelines. This is an occupation, terrorist force.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
