ICE has become indistinguishable from the SS, the Gestapo, Hamas, or ISIS. They are a government sanctioned domestic terrorist group. They are using deadly force to apprehend people, without using due process, providing warrants, or even providing proof that they are federal officers with the proper jurisdiction to arrest or detain anyone. They are masked thugs without any proper identification! They are detaining US citizens, Native Americans, children, and people who are going through the legal system to become citizens. These are not the “illegals”, “criminals”, murders, and rapists that Noem wants us to believe they are. People are being abducted from their jobs, their homes, their vehicles, and their communities in violent and dangerous ways. The ICE officers are not properly trained on how to detain people safely, they are not equipped to handle crowds, or how to deal with people who are exercising their rights to observe, document, and in some cases protect their neighbors. They are certainly not trained to be respectful of other’s Constitutional rights and protections. Take off their masks! Force them to wear proper identification! Allow the citizens to record and report when the agents are breaking laws. This is a powder keg and Noem is holding a blow torch. You know this isn’t right. This authoritarian Nazi bullshit has got to end.
