ICE/ CBP ARE BAD ACTORS. Horrific violations of our rights? The regime is trying to normalize it.
DO NOT LET THIS BE NORMALIZED. The GOP + Uber-fringe 6 on SCOTUS loose Tr*mp's brown shirts to terrorize us. We are no longer free people. Are we prepared to die in unfreedom?

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
