The only lawless behavior I see in this video is ICE harassing and threatening people for no good reason.
ICE authority is limited by federal law. They exist for immigration enforcement only. They do not have general police powers. (8 U.S.C. § 1357)

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

What’s striking is that every move the Trump regime makes against Senator Mark Kelly only seems to elevate his visibility — and maybe even his popularity. Keep it up, y’all.

The plan here seems pretty clear: Deputize the right and turn right-wing cultural warriors into an occupying army.
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.
