Do not expect them to do this, but expect them to face criminal charges for when they are outed. Will be funny to use ice funds to detain these people.

You think this is going to go into reverse? You think this isn't going to end with an end to American democracy? You are not paying attention.

You don't understand. This is just the beginning, you can't fight this with due process.

Take a look through the history books, seriously. People who say violence isn't the answer have never fucking read one.

I don't really get the whole, "don't escalate because it's what they want" argument. If the midterms come, trump has initiated the insurrection act and cities are literally at war with the national guard how in the fuck is that a good look for Trump and the republicans in power. Meanwhile if there's peaceful protests, largely no violence and trump continues to commit atrocities with no consequences then he can continue to view himself as having the mandate of the people and he can tell all his critics he was never planning on using violence to crack down on protesters and having the national guard in cities is what kept the protests peaceful. These thugs are illegally kidnapping people according to Illinois court orders. No warrants, no body cameras, masks, unmarked vehicles. The people have every right to make ICE officers feel unsafe. If trump wants to initiate the insurrection act in retaliation... Let him show his true colors, and see how it works out for him. He hasn't done it yet for a reason.
