#icetapo

What we're seeing is a transitional strategy. First, this functions--along with the #ICEtapo's #CrimesAgainstHumanity--as part of the broad pattern of fascist oppression by which they seek TO PROVOKE a violent anti-fascist response they could exploit to try to invoke the Insurrection Act, ideally before the crucial midterms they expect to lose. Second, they're laying the groundwork--should they succeed IN SUPPRESSING those midterms--for the final, consolidation phase of their #TurdReich, so that when this "long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinc[ing] a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism" eventually DOES provoke 'We, the People' to an armed, anti-fascist response, they can use the power of FTO designation, antiterrorism laws, and sentencing guidelines (as weve seen in that one incident in Texas) to try to crush the nascent #resistance. https://theconversation.com/the-antifa-terrorism-threat-the-trump-administration-describes-does-not-exist-287748

Yeah pretty sure they don't want to go down this road--because if it became impossible to hold #ICEtapo thugs accountable WITHIN the law, citizens could easily feel compelled to start holding them accountable OUTSIDE it. On second thought, maybe that's EXACTLY THE IDEA, since we already know they're itching for an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.... https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/19/us/politics/fbi-ice-agents-investigations-shootings.html

• Note: I reposted a post linking to this article on LinkedIn; didn't notice til I reposted THE ARTICLE ITSELF that it's a year old. The policy and payoffs haven't changed, though--just the names at the top of the org chart (as is typical in a Trump administration).

It remains just as abhorrent today, though--and all the more important to hold every #ICEtapo thug who hasn't resigned by now personally accountable in a (U.S. or international) court of law when this is over (in sha' Allah).

The #ICEtapo isn't even TRYING to seem credible anymore; theyre just deploying their standard, boilerplate lie. It's time 'We, the People' bring them to justice, and cancel the #TurdReich. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/08/texas-ice-shooting-victim-son

From the article: "A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security previously told Reuters that, 'ICE is always looking at ⁠ways ​to improve (its) detention facilities,' pointing to a change in contract administration at Camp East Montana following three deaths there between December and January." By which they mean INCREASED LETHALITY, of course. In the eyes of the #ICEtapo, three deaths in a month or two isnt even warming up the ovens. #TurdReich #NeverAgainIsNow https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/catholic-bishops-call-for-humane-treatment-of-migrants-during-us-mexico-border-mass/ar-AA26FqHe
