ICE is nothing but the armed wing of Trump's reactionary anti-worker, anti-immigrant authoritarian regime. This is class war; and the gloves are off. www.leftvoice.org/trumps-autho...

Like the Klan in the South during reconstruction, ICE is a terrorist organization, whose sole purpose is to terrorize & intimidate immigrants, people of color, & their allies. They will continue to kill with impunity until the working class and oppressed rise up to get rid of them once and for all.
After bombing Venezuela, Trump outright said his domestic war on drugs is part of the same mission. We need mobilizations uniting the movement against Trump's domestic militarism with resistance to his attacks on Latin America.
Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Trump Brags About Imperialist War in Venezuela and the New "Monroe Doctrine"
In an unsophisticated demonstration of imperialist bravado, Donald Trump spoke to people watching in horror across the world as he recounted the United States' brutal strikes against Venezuela and the kidnapping of president Nicolás Maduro. He bragged about this act of war by reasserting the advent of a reloaded "Monroe Doctrine."

Trump's war on Venezuela is yet another sign of the collapse of US hegemony, which is no longer capable of achieving its goals but through open imperialist aggression. This isn't about Trump or Maduro. It's part of a much bigger moment of imperialist "crises, wars and revolutions," as Lenin put it.

Trump's actions in Venezuela have nothing to do with democracy or supposed drug trafficking. They are part of an imperialist offensive designed to lay the ground for the unhindered exploitation of the Venezuelan people and their resources by US capital. This is a war for capital, nothing else.
