ICE is more of a personal militia for Donald Trump than an immigration enforcement department.

[kentuck]

They would exist if they were not a part of government or even if they were not paid by the government. They are his personal SS. At this point, they are more a permanent structure than temporary.

They are extraordinarily dangerous. They are a threat to all Americans.

Unfortunately, they are being rewarded by our elected Congress. They are presently one of the largest standing armies in the world. And they are brutal. There is no command structure to speak of. Kristi Noem is supposed to be in charge but she has a difficult time just keeping up with her wardrobe. Donald Trump is their actual leader.

The Congress, in their oversight, should have the name and address of every member in the ICE organization. But, I doubt that they do? They are not equipped to handle this level of criminality. They simply cannot grasp the serious predicament we are in.

Just my opinion.

1. Republican congressmen are relieved they don't have to use their brains anymore, so much easier just to let Trump rule

[MiHale]

2. I.C.E. is trumpig's porn channel...nt.

[orangecrush]

3. Not "more of"

"IS 100%"

[liberalgunwilltravel]

4. Trump is the figurehead

Pee Wee German Stephen Heinrich Himmler Miller is their leader.

[William Seger]

7. This guy?

(From Jimmy Kimmel last night.)

[LaRaven]

5. Herr Miller and Vought...

are the architects of this SS force and want to change the World Order. NOEM has been selected to be the ‘front face’, just like Hegseth, Bondi, Kash, etc.

No one voted for them!

Trump is mentally gone - he’s barely briefed on what’s happening so he can attend to his interior decorating and planning his destruction of the White House.

We need to demand WHO exactly is running the White House.

I’m so angry right now!
Our government is as War with We the People funded by our tax dollars.

6. I think it's his vehicle for a permanent takeover.

Have them riot and kill, provoke bad responses on purpose, then when people rise up he will call it an insurrection and cancel the election.

[kentuck]

8. I think we are much closer than anyone realizes...

...unless something unforeseen happens in the next few months.

[lark]

12. It's not a pretty picture and it's definitely threatening our way of life!

[TBF]

18. Unfortunately I see this as accurate, and I do believe Stephen Miller is the one

leading it. But I also think Vance and Vought are involved and all of it is funded by some very powerful people. Not just Thiel who is known, but other high income (really high income, multi-millionaire) right wing donors. They are DETERMINED to have white nationalism.

Trump is just wandering around, working on his ballroom, and dragged out for appearances to keep the base satisfied.

[CommonHumanity]

9. ah...yeah.

Thanks for the news flash.

[mysteryowl]

10. I saw an ad for recruitment, wholly crap!

They are throwing money at this big time!

[pandr32]

20. Our money.

[Scrivener7]

11. They are the most anti-American body to arise in a very, very long time. Their purpose is the end of the United States

as we know it and the beginning of an openly fascist state.

Vance let that slip when he said they'd go door to door. That's what happened in Sierra Leone. That's what happened in Liberia. That's what happens when a civil war begins and it opens the door to the orgy of rapes and murders that fascists use to dominate a population.

13. He knows.....

He knows when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows how you voted now
And ICE now knows who to come and take

[Nigrum Cattus]

14. Icestapo

also, right wing religious extremists - white "christian" nationalists

15. They are turning into death squads before our eyes.

They are not going to be successful at suppressing dissent or controlling the populace. The US is too large and spread-out and most people don't react well to being told what to do. The Feds only reaction to our resistance will be escalate, escalate, escalate. Unfortunately, we must now assume a violent confrontation is possible whenever we go out to protest or document their activities or even encounter them randomly somewhere.

[Javaman]

16. Gestapo nt

[leanforward]

17. Similar/same as

. . the January 6 “dip shites”. It’s taken me a while to make this comparison.
Our taxes are paying for policies/actions, I don’t agree with.
And the slim majority says/does nothing.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. I was thinking that. I fully expect them to be called out to future protests.

Just wait to hear the words: "These illegal protests".
Then he'll feel warranted to send in a goon squad to dispel it. He's already under heat for using the National Guard.
