And whilst individuals here cannot act against ICE actions in the USA, we can be active in preventing the same happening here.
Be in no doubt: the far right in the UK - Reform, Farage, Tommy Robinson and their supporters - are looking at what is happening in the US and saying: “That’s what we must have here.”
These ICE executions are an inevitable result of recruiting an army of inadequately vetted and trained people.
Trump knew ICE would attract violent racists and psychopaths.
He did not care because he wanted to deter opposition by striking terror in the populace.
It’s what fascist regimes do.

I've long been an advocate of Uefa leaving Fifa until it gets its act together. Here's the chance.
Organise a Euros this summer and invite nations from around the world who've qualified for the World Cup
Host it is France-England-Germany (or Italy-Spain-Portugal) and go!

We have to admit, sadly, that despite efforts to get people to understand that tolerance, inclusivity and diversity are positives that lead to better results, in countries, companies and societies, there is still a sizeable minority that prefers racism, pain and certain failure. Here and in the US
The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.”
That’s Reform in the UK.

We know that famous American ideal, where the government has a right to shoot you dead because of “rhetoric.”
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
