Take a step back and what would your reaction be if you saw what was happening but didn’t know where it was taking place. If they had swastikas on their sleeves you know it was in Nazi Germany, or in Tiananmen Square in China, or in Moscow during Stalin’s rein you what immediately conclude it’s what authoritarians try to do to silence peacefully protest. You would think that with our constitution, Bill of Rights, three equal branches of government and locally supported police that what we would never witness a national police force taking over our streets in America and terrorizing and killing citizens. If you condone ICE conduct, the question you should be asking yourself is; if you feel our immigration situation is that awful, are you willing to give up everything America stands for including law and order to remove people from our country? Clearly we are no longer talking about the worst of the worst. Grabbing people out of cars, breaking into houses with no warrants, threatening people on the street and saying that protesters are domestic terrorists is not who we are as a country. While Stephen Miller created the strategy it’s under Trump’s direction and he alone can stop it now.
Do you suppose debate on this bill has been cancelled now because of optics? Will it show its ugly head again after time has passed since the tragedy in MN?
AS A COUNTRY WE SAW THIS COMING AND DID NOTHING. ONE MAN AND ONE PARTY ARE DESTROYING ARE COUNTRY. THE MEDIA--FOX NEWS AND NEWSMAX ARE CHEERING THAT TRUMP AND ICE ARE SAVING THE COUNTRY. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TRUMP AND THE GOP ARE MAKING AMERICA BETTER. I THOUGHT OUR GOVERNMENT WAS TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE PEOPLE---WHY ARE WE DOING NOTHING TO STOP THIS BLOODSHED?
I have heard that ICE agents were present in Spirit Lake Iowa. I do not have any verification of this. There is a fairly large immigrant population around there particularly Estherville and Storm Lake. So it may be a matter of time if quotas are to be fulfilled. But what is the point? It has nothing to do with criminal enforcement.

Thank you Ed for this update.
Sorry for the delay, Jim. I wouldn’t be surprised at all that this is the reason.
Thank you for shining a light on this, Ed!

No, it doesn’t
They lie because they can.
New York Times v. Sullivan is what empowers them. Citizens United v. FEC is how they turn lies into cash to stay in power.
Thanks for flagging.
