While Trump’s henchmen dishonestly claim that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.

You can put them up, too:

A poster showing uniformed mercenaries, reading MERCENARIES We are told that dangerous people are loose in our communities. Parasites feeding on our resources. People who are not like us. But who is dangerous, if not those who will kidnap their neighbors in return for a bribe? If anyone is a parasite, it is the ones who monopolize public resources to profit on violence. If anyone is an outsider, it is the ones who sell their capacity to inflict harm to the highest bidder: the mercenaries who hire themselves out to ICE. They are not protecting our communities—they are trying to destroy them. By persecuting the vulnerable, they aim to wear down our ability to identify with each other, our ability to feel compassion.

If they succeed, all of us will be in danger. They are also threatening your safety, your freedom. Once they are finished rounding up immigrants, they will need new scapegoats. Those who know the history of fascism know how this story goes. They begin by locking undocumented children in cages—and end by locking your children in cages. Together, we can create a world in which no one has to live in fear of mercenaries. No politician or political party will do this for us. It’s up to us. A photograph of a poster showing armed scum in uniforms, titled "Mercenaries." The poster is wheatpasted to a vertical surface somewhere in middle America.

Yes, except when Republican members of Congress have Paycheck Protection Program loans forgiven. That's just hunky dory, and certainly not theft. Same with white Republican farmers who cash in from the government.
Katie Miller, like a good Republican, is a nauseating hypocrite.

Hey Katie! Trump owes the city of El Paso a half a million dollars in campaign debt. I agree. That makes him a thief.

To keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, ICE recruiters are offering bribes to seduce gullible individuals into doing harm to their neighbors.

To counter this, we have prepared a video and poster campaign of our own.

Amazon's computing services have long helped ICE track down people to deport.

As Trump's mass deportations worsen, Amazon is investing another $50 BILLION in expanding its AI and cloud computing services for the administration.
