jmbar2's JournalICE agent abducts man's father, steals his truck, and is confronted by son tracking truck with GPS
Story is from Reddit, via TicToc, and not confirmed by regular media yet. But if true, it shows a new level of criminality by ICE. There appear to be NO GUARDRAILS to control these thugs.

New Orleans planning a 2nd Line - Stern message to ICE...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Louisiana/comments/1pe3twp/new_orleans/This gentleman is making a very important statement. After Katrina, most of the clean up and rebuilding was done by immigrant labor. Many were terribly exploited, but they got the job done. New Orleans folk have never forgotten that. They are NOT happy that ICE is coming after the people who rebuilt their city when no one else stepped up.
They are planning a Second Line to celebrate their diverse community. Wish I could be there.
The Poverty Line is actually $140K for a family of 4. Why so many are struggling and angry.
Economics geek alert -
The following is an outstanding and detailed analysis of how the poverty line is calculated, why the real poverty line for a family of 4 is around $140K, and the hopeless gap in the middle where you earn too much for benefits, but not enough to survive.
The writer suggests that a lot of animosity towards the poor comes from the fact that the benefits they receive - SNAP, housing assistance, Medicaid -- enable them to live better than people making too much, but too little.

Rachel is about to discuss Newport, ORs resistance to ICE!
Your time my vary. I'm so proud of my little town.
One scary factor that was announced yesterday was the sudden closure of the Rogue Brewery. It is a large facility, with a lot of water resources. Laid off 60 workers. Don't know if it's related, but would be convenient for the ICE plotters.

ICE is scouting out locations to set up operations in my small Oregon town.
I live in Newport, on the coast. It's a small tourist and fishing town on the Oregon coast. We have a lot of immigrants that are recruited from Guatemala to work in a big fish processing plant. Their children are well established in our local schools. The work is very hard physically, and the company houses some of them in dorm-style lodgings.
A couple of days ago, some mystery group approached the city about taking over part of our airport to set up a concentration camp. City council had a town hall on it tonite. I couldn't make it, but apparently it was packed.
This afternoon, a truck full of yeehaws was cruising all through town with big flags, including a large black flag, which I guess is one of the militia groups. They've also started recruiting for ICE jobs. Every Nazi tweaker in the region -- we have lots of Methros -- will now get the best paying jobs on the coast.
Feel like I've been punched in the gut that it could happen here.
