According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.

CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.

    It’s absolutely astounding to me that nobody has started using these freaks for target practice. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, but it’s damn odd. Of course that doesn’t keep them from playing the victim.

      Yeah I’m also surprised. Like, nobody’s even throwing eggs at them.

      Also, if gangs are really so prevalent and strong, at what point would they start getting involved?

      an overwhelming majority of the people with guns approve of what’s happening.

        Pretti literally had a handgun in his wasteland. Lots of people on the left have guns. Also, based on polling and recent special elections, lots of right wingers are getting fed up with ICE too.

          i don’t doubt that there are some non-conservative gun owners and; until we see another kyle rittenhouse show up announced and given free range; it’s a safe bet that the lion’s share of gun owners will let ice do their thing before ever taking action.
