    This is a joke. Trump is a demented two bit con artist who couldnt come up with a plan to wipe his own ass. You come off just like conspiracy theorists on Facebook. Who joins these organizations? I would wager the majority are poor people and immigrants seeking school and benefits. Do you really think for a second they would follow orders that would endanger their own families? ICE is a private corporation. I wonder if CBP will get lost like they they did in Texas. There are only a few more than 3,000 Secret service To take on millions. Yeah, right . Posters need to stop fear mongering. You’re doing conservatives job for them. Just like the migrant caravans that suddenly disappeared.

      DeSantia new guard is intentionally selected to be ready to act against liberal cities. He’s creating the blue print for modern gestapo.

        You completely ignored my point. The law rules above everything(even Epstein went to jail). If a modern ‘gestapo’ tried taking people from their homes at the behest of a small minority of the population, they’re gonna get served a face full of lead. The 1/6 tourists sure did rethink their choices pretty quickly when shit got real.

        The overwhelming majority would quit and abandon their jobs before risking their lives. No counter argument, no reasoning or logic, only downvotes.

            The judges may be corrupt but they can’t change the constitution. When the rule of law is gone, so is ALL of society. You people (the 94%) forget how wildly inaccurate polling is right now and how trump endorsed republicans lost all their races. Cheer them on just like the imbecile genocide Joe crowd

              Who cares about trump or polls? We’re talking about the courtroom and justice. You know, where the “rule of law prevails” or whatever naive thing you said.

          No, it just takes more inaction than action for fascism to win.

          If the law ruled above everything, Trump would be running his campaign from a prison cell.

            I never said the law was perfect in any way. But what the law says, goes, when enforced.

              And yet you show an inordinate amount of faith in it to save us from fascism.

                I know the enemies, the rednecks and the cops are cowards and only know courage in groups, even then they cower at the sound of gunshots. Uvalde and 1/6 among many others prove this unequivocally.

      " ICE is a private corporation."

          Yeah that’s cool and all but ICE is still a federal organization and not a private company.

            Their own website states the opposite. There are plenty of other sources which confirm that.
