Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.
There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"
"Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

I read yesterday that Australia has installed so much solar capacity it will start giving people free electricity during peak hours. Meanwhile my Provincial gov’t “paused” renewables projects costing an estimated $33B in investment and wants to double oil production to sell to places like Australia.

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.
He is a clear and present danger.

Have you heard of corporate feudalism?
It’s an economic system where large corporations (oligarchs) control essential resources (donate to “pay” the military), limit workers’ rights, and dominate the markets.
The public has only an illusion of choice.
Seems relevant.
