    It's pretty telling that when the administration deployed troops across America, nobody was shot (remember that?). The troops had no unpopular mandate to enforce, they were not under the direct tactical command of the administration, and frankly were better trained than this ICE para-military.

    If you watch the videos of what these raids are like, they are unbelievably chaotic and uncoordinated. Their "arrests" are wild and uncontrolled. They're also doing incredibly stupid things like stepping in front of cars or chasing down protesters.

    It's pretty telling how many police agencies have issued statements saying ICE has been uncooperative - they are using dangerous tactics (for both bystanders and themselves) and they have no training or interest in de-escalation. They would be much more successful working with local PD but they clearly don't want anything to do with even vague accountability.

    No surprise. Trump and Co. were lying as soon as the news broke even while video showed otherwise.

    Anyone who even accidentally gets in the way of the current administration is labeled a domestic terrorist… meanwhile their thugs are free to terrorize. https://np.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qoo7n5/ice_age...

    Families and etc lined up for investigations and so on.

    Meanwhile their leadership try to extort voter information. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/politics/minnesota-tru...

    Nothing is honest about what the current administration says.

    > In numerous incidents, DHS’s narrative of what led up to a shooting has later been proven to be inaccurate.

    Not only are they lying about what happens when they shoot people, they vindictively charge their victims with a crime, turning things exactly on their head.

    If this isn't fascism, what is?

    And how do we stop it?

      And now they are releasing manipulated images of protestors arrest. Straight outta Stalin's playbook
