Just remember, someone else encouraged violence against political opponents, believed in Führerprinzip, internal competition, and "divide and rule"

Trump's ICE just purchased a warehouse in MD for $100M to hold 1,000+ detainees.
Last week, I joined Marylanders demanding that ICE stay out.

The purchase of this warehouse places a massive detainee holding and processing facility at the nexus of I-70 and I-81 and further bolsters DHS' growing detention and transportation network in the Maryland region.
BREAKING: DHS has purchased an 800,000-square-foot Hagerstown-area warehouse for $102.4 million.
Property records show ICE now owns the site outright, structuring the deal to remain within Maryland’s Dignity Not Detention Act.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

At the end of all this, we need to #AbolishICE completely when Dems hold majority again
UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.
It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.
The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

the injunction isn't permissible, the 8th Circuit says, because ordering ICE not to harm people for merely observing them, arrest them without PC, or fire chemical munitions at them, is the equivalent of telling them to "obey the law"
![Second, in addition to being too broad, the injunction is too vague. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(1)(B)–(C) (explaining that an injunction must “state its terms specifically” and “describe in reasonable detail . . . the act or acts restrained or required”). Directions not to “[r]etaliat[e] against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” or “[s]top[] or detain[] drivers . . . where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion” are simply commands to “obey thelaw,” which are “not specific enough.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o4pdps2jkn7uhrdgadni7djk/bafkreiekuyv4fjqmba2btlgvr3rb7gkohsvcykdzfrqgnapydudryit4wq@jpeg)
