        I wonder if they might not even try. When like 1/3 people are dark skinned and the vast majority of them are citizens it’s going to waste so much of their time. Until they drop the pretenses anyway and just start blatantly and deliberately deporting citizens.

        But at that point, to paraphrase trump. They’re gonna find out why abq has a neighborhood called the war zone.

          I fully foresee them trying to “re-colonize new Mexico” by harassing all the browns and moving white people there

          The us is too big and they’re afraid of resistance. If they spread out to all states at once, we could stop most of it by outnumbering them in most places.

          Also they’re focusing on Blue cities to try and provoke protests for their propaganda and plans for marshal law.

          There aren’t actually that many of them and this is a physically large country. They have been focused on cities that are more aligned with the Democrat party.

              The biggest city in Minnesota is Minneapolis, where most of this is crazy bullshit ICE news happening. Trump won the Presidency by beating Democratic Party Harris from California and Walz from Minnesota. Harris does not have any political positions so she is kinda out of the news. But Walz is Governor of Minnesota.

              Let that sink in for a few minutes and when you look at the news again… vicious is probably tame, this is outright evil. even if you arnt a religious person, this is the worst on its way to something of historically nightmare

          are they being deployed state after state or something ?

          Only a handful of cities, but their funding is something like $60 billion dollars, the equivalent of two or three branches of our military combined. I don’t think ICE has the staff to go after whole states at this point, because there are many stories in the media that seem to indicate they are hiring every stupid motherfucker who puts in an application. They send a ton of people to small geographical areas so that, theatrically, it appears that they are more powerful and numerous than they really are.

          There are various means of resistance happening in local communities. Here in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, our city council just banned ICE from receiving an permits or zoning for mass detention facilities here in our city.

            And that’s why Trump is pushing for civil unrest/war to use the insurrection act. He desperately needs the military. Not only is ICE not big enough, but it’s full of untrained cowards. As soon as the first bullet flies, some will fight, but the vast majority will either go flight or fawn. This existence is so stupid.
