I lived my whole life in the twin cities and have a lot of friends, US citizens, who are too scared to go out to eat right now because of the ICE raids. If that wasn’t the point it is certainly the effect. I applaud Walz and Frey, and I will be ranking Frey first next time he’s up for reelection. Something tells me though he will be on to bigger things than mayor of Minneapolis.

The allegations of fraud made by the people invading my home and terrorizing my friends? I’ll take those with a grain of salt.

And for the record, I’m not afraid of ICE, never said I was. ICE is racially profiling people, arresting them without cause, and deporting them without due process. I happen to be white, so that doesn’t apply in my case. It’s also coincidentally the same reason I feel safe posting a comment like this online. Free speech is being chilled in communities that ice targets, and I feel responsibility to relay what I’m hearing.

ICE also just gunned down a US citizen in the street, and that should scare everyone.

They’ve shot and killed American Citizens

They flashbanged a family of American citizens and put a baby in the hospital

How does that boot taste?

Because if an ICE agent violates your constitutional rights, you have zero recourse. There is no freedom.

If you're not afraid of that, you got your head in the sand.

Currently going on? You mean the ones which were prosecuted a few years ago? Or are you talking about that "journalist"'s YouTube video that was hyped by the government to cause misinformed rage?

Your question is essentially equivalent to "Why are you scared of the Gestapo if you aren't a Jew?"

It's not a coincidence that a winner of the Nobel Prize gifted his medal to the then Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels[1], exactly as María Corina Machado gifted her Nobel medal to Trump. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. If you close your eyes to all these similarities, you're going to be in for a big surprise.

Imagine being in favor of “papers, please” in America
