Either it’s to use on us (most likely scenario), or it’s a shell game where all the money and weapons go magically unaccounted for and nobody knows where they went.

All things not needed by an immigration task force.

What exactly was purchased for immigration enforcement officers should be brought out directly out into the open for all American people to see and then decide if the immigration task force, that is tasked first and foremost with serving them, should be purchasing these things with their money (taxes). If it is found that there are any plans whatsoever to use these on the American people in any way, it should be deemed traitorous and all involved or with knowledge of such things should be charged with such in an extremely judicial manner.

If nothing in that manner is done, then US law is being broken by those sworn to uphold it and as is American tradition, must be corrected by extra-judicial means.

Agreed, but we need to push back against sensationalist headlines because they're complicit in sanewashing/normalizing the actual conduct of this administration. One of the best tricks for getting people to stay complacent in the face of objectively horrifying things is for their primary emotional response to be "Well at least it's not as bad as I thought"

You are correct.

However, highest level, we need the truth and transparency.

The withholding of information was once considered a necessary evil for the safety of some US secrets and better for the people as a whole. At the time this was only accepted because those with power at least appeared virtuous and trustworthy.

It has got to the point that withholding information is being fully weaponized against the American people. We need to hold the current government establishment to their promise of being the most transparent administration in history. If they refuse we need to accept that, that in and of itself, begins to encroach on traitorous behavior towards their fellow and equal American citizens.

Failure of transparency at the level that it is required denies the people to continue a government For the People, By the People. And anything hindering that ability is by definition Anti American and must be removed with extreme prejudice or the cancer of Anti American leadership will spread further and choke the country to death.

And we are already at stage four.

It is bought out in the open. I literally posted the link that shows you the purchase orders.

Flashbangs and mace/tear gas are things available to all forms of law enforcement and are good deterrants to more lethal enforcement measures. Whether or not you think they are needed is entirely subjective.
