So angry! I could barely watch that creep from ICE talking about his agents " putting their lives on the line." Give me a break!!! Basically these thugs are kidnapping innocent unless proven guilty people ( I Know I am preaching to the choir because they are not even getting that chance!!) . Poor little ICE Nazis. I will donate to ACLU and write my ( useless maga ) reps....

"Mine is not to question why, mine is just to do or die"...really?!? If they have nothing to hide why are they hiding? And, WTF, are we now living in Nazi Germany? More of the ghoul (Steven Miller) again for sure. They are certainly itching for revolution, no?

I think the media needs to expose ALL of the dangerous activities that Stephen Miller is doing to this country NOW. There has been much written about Stephen in the past but he needs to be mentioned every day. I think he is the most dangerous man in the TRUMP administration.

The Feds used flash bangs, were armed, masked with weapons checking on restaurant employees. Community filmed, yelled “shame, Nazis, fascists”, etc. Whole city council in an uproar over the ridiculously over the top fascism.

The fact that they are waiting for people who are in courts doing exactly what they are supposed to do seems illegal to me ( I’m not a lawyer). If an immigrant is following the laws to become a legal resident, or citizen, how can they justify arresting them? This is insane.

Donna, what the administration is doing “cleverly” is : …federal prosecutors are asking the courts to “set aside” the plaintiffs’ immigration court appearance in their fight to remain in this country , the administration’s lawyers request to the courts technically sets the plaintiff “free”, and ends the plaintiffs’ legal process at that point in their long fight towards legal residency . This prosecutor’s court request would normally allow the plaintiffs to take the next legal process in their attempt to reside here legally , which is a long drawn out process.As they leave the court , and before their lawyers can reapply to the court to commence their next legal process, the plaintiffs are arrested and detained as they leave the court. This legal maneuver by the federal lawyers is purely a cynical strategy to short circuit the normally long drawn out legal process associated with seeking legal status in this country.

It’s horrible. It’s a stab in the back to these people who are doing the right thing. What happened to arresting all the criminals and gang bangers?

I’d like to see some bystanders pulling down the masks of the goons.

What I like is that people are fighting back and posting videos. Even the ones that show their faces… they are being posted and shared all over social media.

Finding a creative way to expose them. This is totally sick sick!

Nazi miller… I remember telling you the first Trump administration my husband cut his hair twice like buzz cut and each time he gave my husband a $.25 tip. my husband figured out what that was all about…. It was about showing that my husband was beneath him. He never went back to the salon again.

M. Gessen, an Opinion columnist at the NYT, rightly says we’re devolving into a police state; they shld know: they lived in Russia for years. If anyone believes this is hyperbole, look at the tactics encouraged by the Trump-Miller-Homan troika, as described here. The toxic hatred of the migrant, the ‘other,’ has resulted in a climate of fear, on the part of the targeted, as well as among the opposition. It’s chilling dissent and ruining lives. (Here I think of the young boy whose mother had a panic attack while being apprehended in San Antonio, a Latino-majority city. He will deal with PTSD for years to come.)

So where was the ‘hyper-efficient’ ICE pack while the wannabe mass-murderer who unleashed his hatred in Boulder was plotting his torching of peaceful protestors? He overstayed his visa. Why wasn’t Noem on top of that? No, they’re too busy terrorizing hard-working migrants who are trying to play by the rules.

These ICE goon squads must be reined in: The recent arrest—in the office of Rep. Jerry Nadler!—is a case in point: When a staffer asked to see a warrant, she was bluntly told by an agent that he didn’t need a warrant.

Heaven help us…and FDT.

Our government is kidnapping people off the streets, in courthouses, restaurants, etc, and pardoning actual criminals. If this isn’t fascism I don’t know what is.

Thanks for this in-depth reporting. I agree that it’s great to hear that some ICE agents resent what they are bringing told to do.

This entire administration is so full of lies and hyperbole that nothing they say can be trusted. I’m so disappointed that so many good people still believe them. The power of disinformation is so overwhelming.

It was very informative to hear the other side of ICE. After seeing so many ICE members wearing mask abducting ppl off the street, it was good to hear that some ICE members still have a human face and may be starting to have some regrets and second thoughts about what they’re doing. It gives me some hope.

They wear masks for the same reason KLAN members wear masks. They are the goons of white supremacy. Nothing more.

There was a disturbing ICE attack in San Diego at Buona Forchetta this past Friday. Our local communities, allies, and government officials are livid.

Stephen Miller's bride recently left her WhiteHouse employment to go work for Elon Musk.

I never thought I'd see convicted felons and known thugs pulling primarily innocent people off the streets and carting them off for no reason. It's just disgusting.
