This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Since taking office, Trump has canceled or halted enforcement actions against 166 corporations accused of illegal conduct.
At least a third of those companies have close ties to his administration, including over 30 that have donated to Trump's ballroom.

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Imagine wanting the Nobel Peace Prize so badly that you’re complaining to the press about how peaceful you are from a table surround by thieving oil execs, while the nation is rising up against your oppressive militia, who just killed a protester in cold blood.

We should be ashamed and embarrassed to be a society in which people will willingingly, actively, point a loaded gun in the face of a fellow citizen.
A free society should be one where government employees don't put a gun to your face when you're exercising a core tenet of said society: free speech

Holy shit! Two U.S. citizens were assaulted and kidnapped by Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo while working at their jobs inside Target in Richfield, Minnesota. Apparently, they were assaulted and kidnapped because they looked Latino. 😳👇

TRUMP: “The oil companies are gonna spend at least $100 billion fixing up Venezuela’s infrastructure”
REALITY: Every oil expert says they won’t. If anyone does, it will be us — the taxpayers, and those oil companies will profit.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
