And now anyone left of christo-fascist is a domestic terrorist
it's never been a matter of making the puplic safe
Going after gangs and criminals would be risky! Ice melts when confronted with heat.
They want those people still on the streets so they can use their crimes as talking points for more and more crack downs.
Easy pickings to prove you’re “doing something”.
Bullies only go for the easy targets. They live in fear.
Their mission was to arrest people unlawfully in the country not saying they shouldn’t do the other things but the gangs are probably mostly if not all American along with the Epstein list
Not to make light of the terrible constitutional crisis this nation is under, but ICE literally means "Immigration and Customs Enforcement". It's literally in the name that they won't be going after gangs. So that statement is laughable at best.
Now, the military deployments, those could have been used for that reason.
Then again, in 🤡 world over here, I'm surprised there's a distinction at all.
One would think they are going after gangs considering they claim every immigrant they catch is from some international gang.
