Ghost cars all over Minneapolis because iCE snatches people from their cars in the middle of the street.

This is so fucking haunting.

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

Yeah...

We've found kids between 2 and 7 years old just sitting in the cars during single digit weather in an adjacent town. Still not cold enough to prevent my blood from boiling

Dear god, this has to stop. We were once a great democracy, now the world looks at us and says "Oh my god! What the hell?"

This insanity and giving him more money with little resistance. More money to hurt Americans.

I’m losing interest in supporting any candidate who doesn’t fight back.

People everywhere suddenly disappearing where they stand, with the rest of us being left behind.

Except in this example of GOP divinity they find themselves in Hell.

In the case where the kids were left in the car, it should be child endangerment. Maybe the could arrest them for impersonating law enforcement. Can ICE officers prove they are ICE officers? What about police brutality?

I know...everyone is afraid Trump will use the insurrection act to deploy the military. I say make him do that. State leaders are rolling over on their backs to Trump because they are afraid of what he might do. Just like the world rolls over on its back to Putin because of Russian nukes. At some point we have to be willing to roll the dice.

The federal government isn’t going to tell us which agents made an arrest.

If it was just a regular person doing this the police would investigate and more than likely find the person. There are cameras everywhere.

I think the states need to stand up. Individual citizens can protest. But the states have the power and the resources to really push back.

Especially because many of the people ICE are harming are US citizens. And citizens of the state. The state needs to protect its citizens.

Though I agree with attempting to hold them accountable. The state is asking citizens to upload any video or photos we have of ice committing crimes. At some point, I hope we get justice.
