ICE Expanding Rapidly Outside of Major Metro Areas

[duckworth969]

“Federal records obtained by WIRED show that over the past several months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have carried out a secret campaign to expand ICE’s physical presence across the US. Documents show that more than 150 leases and office expansions have or would place new facilities in nearly every state, many of them in or just outside of the country’s largest metropolitan areas.

In many cases, these facilities, which are to be used by street-level agents and ICE attorneys, are located near elementary schools, medical offices, places of worship, and other sensitive locations.“

Alarming that the fascists are preparing invasion forces so close to our cities.

1. Republicans gave them $75 billion to spend.

$75 billion of our tax money

2. Its because they won't face as much resistance in red areas

Won't be as effective, but they won't have people chasing them everywhere blowing whistles....at least that's what they think. Kind of like how GW Bush thought the Iraqis would have parades in the streets for us when we arrived to steal their oil.

3. Sounds like easier access to polling locations

4. The MAGA fuckhead in charge of my local schoolboard...

Recently thought it would be funny to stick ICE on the local schools in our district. Why this cretin still has a job and isn't in prison is absolutely insane.

5. If this keeps on...

Beyond this year, I may have to leave the country... if you can still call it that by then.
