Have they no shame??
ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I’ll repeat myself that I’m amazed this kind of stuff hasn’t caused more outrage and reaction than it has.

I’ve spent a lot of time watching gun violence ravage the country that is justified as the price of guarding against tyranny. It turns out, we’re pretty ok with tyranny.
As part of its established procedures, ICE sends agents to pound on the doors of protesters at home and tell them "We know who you are and we're coming for you." The tactics of incompetent state terrorism.

One of the core purposes of the U.S. Privacy Act was to prevent unexamined sharing of personal data across agencies. This is exactly the kind of case that law was meant to make difficult, if not prevent altogether.
NEW: Workers at the Social Security Administration have been told to share information about in-person appointments with ICE agents, WIRED has learned, in a move that goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

Day by day, the American Gestapo rises and our freedoms are threatened.

"DHS asked the companies for identifying details of accounts that do not have a real person’s name attached and that have criticized ICE or pointed to the locations of ICE agents.'

John Nichols @nicholsuprising.bsky.social offers a serious assessment of the damage done by ICE and what me must do next -- abolish ICE and impeach Noem.
Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:

“We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”

Now it’s time to abolish the agency and impeach Kristi Noem.

"This will not stand. It is an abomination. It is anti-American, undemocratic, and fascistic. What are the tech companies thinking? What happened to their courage? Have they no decency?"

Protesters in Minnesota faced intimidation from ICE agents, who targeted individuals at their homes. This blatant harassment reveals a systemic attempt to silence dissent and maintain control through fear.
