in the news today: ICE, trump's gestapo anti-immigrant police force, detained a 5 year old, taken from his family, sent out of state. tonite on the PBS newshour the superintendent of the public school system he attended was outraged, saying that ICE agents have been swarming around her schools and school buses. this is in minneapolis, a democratic city which has been targeted by the hyper partisan republican bully president trump for anti immigrant policing, as has been done to other democratically led cities. there have been many protests against this policy; not long ago a woman was shot to death in her car by an ICE agent for protesting, others have been abused, arrested, tear gassed, beaten, shot with 'non-lethal' ammunition in the face from close range.
it's clear that ICE has become a rogue agency even by the lax standards of police state usa. under the republican trump led government it's funding has ballooned enabling the rapid hiring of new agents whose main qualification appears to be sharing the same racist xenophobic far right police state mentality of their Fuhrer. they are literally getting away with murder and many lesser crimes, supported by a republican infested judiciary which gives it's blessing to all they do, as does trump's political base, which includes many if not most of my male cousins on my father's side of the family (i don't know about my mother's side, having lost touch with them).
i cannot fathom how anyone can support the vicious cruelty and criminal unaccountability of the trump regime, and i want as little to do as possible with those that do.
