"Says here you're from.....NEW MEXICO! HAH! GOTCHA! I KNEW YOU WERE A MEXICAN!"
I live in NM. It's going to all out war when ice comes here. There's tons of natives that live here.
Ice isn't in all of the US yet ? are they being deployed state after state or something ?
are they being deployed state after state or something ?
Only a handful of cities, but their funding is something like $60 billion dollars, the equivalent of two or three branches of our military combined. I don't think ICE has the staff to go after whole states at this point, because there are many stories in the media that seem to indicate they are hiring every stupid motherfucker who puts in an application. They send a ton of people to small geographical areas so that, theatrically, it appears that they are more powerful and numerous than they really are.
There are various means of resistance happening in local communities. Here in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, our city council just banned ICE from receiving an permits or zoning for mass detention facilities here in our city.
And that's why Trump is pushing for civil unrest/war to use the insurrection act. He desperately needs the military. Not only is ICE not big enough, but it's full of untrained cowards. As soon as the first bullet flies, some will fight, but the vast majority will either go flight or fawn. This existence is so stupid.
States that didn't vote for Trump are the main targets at the moment.
holy shit ok...... even worse than I thought
A group of protesters found the plans printed out in an ICE they are to arrest vulnerable individuals who are probably
I just want to clarify that this isn't a joke. Trump isn't even trying to hide it. This is real.
There aren't actually that many of them and this is a physically large country. They have been focused on cities that are more aligned with the Democrat party.
That is super vicious, I didn't realize it was so targeted
The biggest city in Minnesota is Minneapolis, where most of this is crazy bullshit ICE news happening. Trump won the Presidency by beating Democratic Party Harris from California and Walz from Minnesota. Harris does not have any political positions so she is kinda out of the news. But Walz is Governor of Minnesota.
Let that sink in for a few minutes and when you look at the news again... vicious is probably tame, this is outright evil. even if you arnt a religious person, this is the worst on its way to something of historically nightmare
Ok thanks for all the context. so this is also petty personal revenge. Fucking hell
The us is too big and they’re afraid of resistance. If they spread out to all states at once, we could stop most of it by outnumbering them in most places.
Also they’re focusing on Blue cities to try and provoke protests for their propaganda and plans for marshal law.
I encourage all Americans to arm themselves (and really humanity as a whole) and always have but I think Native Americans especially should arm themselves or face a possible repeat of history. Trump is threatening to Invade Greenland and Canada over resources and attack Venezuela to prop up the Petrodollar. There's zero chance he'll respect treaties with Native Tribes if there's mining that can be done on the Rez
Aye, they did that thing we all told you they'd do.
i can't make sense of this comment in this context, which is to say a Native man sharing the story of his arrest, and your statement which suggests he deserved it?
the leopards comments are moving from unhelpful to actively harmful, from my point of view. you're participating in the further dehumanization of one of the most historically oppressed peoples in this country.
edit typo
They have arrest quotas, not identification quotas.
Wow, really?
Quotas were introduced in the Stalinist USSR at one point in the 1930s, I think. Before that, you had to prove that you were innocent to have a shot at escaping imprisonment. Before THAT, authorities had to prove you did something wrong (they almost always found something, though).
Both of these early approaches were simply too inefficient to man the gulags and run the country into the ground, I guess.
Ok, good. I'm glad that happened. Because now my suspicion is more solid. Not that this happened but we have new information.
They don't give a flying fuck about your "papers." I don't recommend walking around with a birth certificate or social security card. Your passport is questionable too.
Why? Because they will take them, and say you had none anyway. Suddenly you are no longer who you say you are to any things that need them.
I think it's safe to say the literal best thing to do when confronted by ICE is to try and leave, they will just ignore any identification and it's better to not be caught alone, have some people near you and work on cardio if you can; of course this doesn't help much with the door-to-door shit, so having emergency+legal contacts is also very important
At least many native Americans have land on which they can retreat and which they can defend.
Yes because historically Native Americans have had success defending their land against violent imperialist invaders.
There aren't any reservations in China. So... But in all seriousness if anyone is interested in the history of native conflicts with the US government, Blood Struggle is a pretty good starting point. Several tribes fought the US military to a standstill and occupy their ancestral lands (or at least a significant portion of them). Navajo Nation is larger than the Netherlands.
