I do not believe that ICE agents are killing people because they want to help Trump distract the American public from the Epstein files
Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

One cool things Dems could start saying is that anyone who took part in a politically motivated at prosecution at DOJ is out of a job and possibly facing worse once these guys are gone. Give a real penalty for complying with the regime

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

“The confrontations have prompted criticisms of federal agencies”
A day after a federal immigration agent shot and killed a woman in her vehicle in Minneapolis, federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday shot a man and a woman in their car. The confrontations have prompted criticism of federal agencies for allowing officers to open fire on moving vehicles.
Agents in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Have Fired at Vehicles at Least 10 Times
The confrontations over the last four months have left two people dead and prompted criticism of federal agencies for allowing officers to open fire on moving vehicles.

At some point, we should probably be looking at whether the people showing up in sunglasses and gators and paramilitary costumes in Charlottesville and to the Capitol on January 6 are the same people now showing up in ICE POLICE gear across American cities

For the contingent of Dems still scared of talking about this, ICE is pure financial drain. It is costing each household $300/yr to pay for an agency whose sole actions are to harass and terrorize 15% of our population, creating terrible downstream effects across economy and society
The U.S. is spending $37.5B on ICE this year—more than Canada’s entire military budget. That’s double the EPA, FDA, and OSHA combined.
It costs every household $300/yr for ICE to terrorize their neighbors. Even if ICE meets its cruel goal of 1M deportations, that’s $37.5K per person. For what?

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.
