Democrats are demanding three very reasonable safeguards to protect the American people:
Get Border Patrol out of our cities. Independent investigations. No masks and more body cams.
Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Your boss ran to his podiatrist crying bone spurs.
Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won't change the fact that you're risking troops' lives to boost Chevron's stock price.
It's my job to hold you accountable.
Positions ICE has taken:
- We can enter your home without a warrant
- You must carry your papers at all times
- But we can ignore them and only our scanner matters
- We can detain you anywhere, no matter your age, situation or status
- Indefinitely with no access to a lawyer
- And basically no right to a day in court
- We can send you to a third world prison if we choose
- But we can’t bring you back if we made a mistake
- And if you interfere with any of this we can shoot you because you are a terrorist
How is this not a recipe for totalitarianism?
Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. On Saturday morning the whole world saw him being murdered by agents of his own government.
Multiple videos capture the last moments of his life.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.
Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.
To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

DHS deleted this one because:
-The family was driving home and got blocked.
-ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car.
-The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital.
DHS did NO investigation & rushed to lie to defend the officers.
🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera.
In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say they’ll “take pictures at HQ”… and then force him into their SUV anyway.
That is deeply alarming.
Law enforcement is not allowed to detain people first and figure out who they are later without lawful justification.
Detaining someone without verifying identity, without probable cause, and without allowing them to present ID raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns.
You cannot seize a person just to “check” who they are.
This also mirrors what DHS has now openly admitted: that people are being detained first and sorted out later based on suspicion alone.
That means innocent people, minors, and U.S. citizens are being taken into custody without verification, without charges, and without due process.
If the government can forcibly detain someone simply to identify them, that is not law enforcement… that is unlawful detention.
Masked ICE thugs beat the shit out of a 17-year-old American citizen then dump him in a parking lot far away just to be assholes. Congrats to all the people with Don't Tread on Me flags in their avatars who are cheering this on.
