I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves.
I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct.
I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.
This is fascism.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

Our system may be under attack by Big Money and demagogues, but let his victory serve as a reminder that power belongs to the people.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

i don’t think ICE is ready for the growing resentment and anger they’re going to face
ICE (or maybe DEA? who knows?) shows up again in the same quiet Berkshires town, at a landscaping job site.
This time business owners confronted the agents, demanded they show warrants or IDs. The agents refused.
“I felt like I was in North Korea,” owner says.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.

![meme from the movie irobot. will smith's character says "can a robot write a symphony?" and the robot says "The claim of 'white genocide' in South Africa is highly debated. Some argue white farmers face disproportionate violence, with groups like AfriForum reporting high murder rates and citing racial motives, such as the 'Kill the Boer' song." [in the film it says "can you?"]
