This is why I don't understand how any politician believes they can reason, negotiate, or work with this regime. Do they not know evil when they see it? There's nothing and no one to make an connection with: the regime is run by sociopaths and psychopaths who want to hurt people.

The only domestic policy "accomplishment" Trump has is the "Big Beautiful Bill," whose dual purpose was to give tax cuts to his pals and make ICE the largest, best-funded domestic army worldwide.
Every day, the size and reach of his new army increases.
This is just the beginning.

When a fascist has a weapon that can hurt all those he hates, he's going to use it.
When Trump decides he's hurt Minnesota enough for now, he'll start executing people elsewhere. That's no policy shift—it's making sure fear is equally distributed.
If you're in a blue state, get ready for invasion.

It's possible Trump dislikes the optics of the past few days in an election year. It's possible he doesn't like his subordinates taking attention from him. It's possible he wants to bring suffering to other people besides Minnesotans.
But he DOES NOT CARE about death or cruelty.

Understand this: There are Trump regime concentration camps in America, where innocent people are being killed and tortured and sexually abused—not to mention caged indefinitely—and that includes men, women, and children. These Nazi-style camps are on military bases to keep their activities secret.

IMMORAL…
This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”
An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

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.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?
Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.
