Sometimes it hits Different.

Minneapolis. It's still happening, despite the call to de-escalate. This post from Bluesky is the thing that hits different. You all know me long enough to know why.

Yep, classic Antifa terrorist types right here. Oma and Opa were clearly out looking for violence, and not just bringing some hot dish to the Elks lodge.

I had an Oma and Opa. They were German immigrants. They lived here during World War II. And while they never spoke of it, I am sure they were targeted and profiled for the simple act of being German in the United States. I'm glad FDR and Eisenhower were representing the US (flaws and all) instead of a fascism loving goon in the White House.

I want to know what pre-2015 ICE employees have to say. I want to know what the first members of ICE (2003) have to say. I want to know what former employees of Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) have to say about this current iteration.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was established in 1933 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to consolidate and regulate border patrol activities, oversee enforcement, and to supervise the immigration process. At first, INS was under the U.S Department of Labor (DOL); then in 1940 it became an agency under the U.S Department of Justice (DOJ). In 2002, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act. Thus, starting in 2003, INS was ended and was replaced with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Seems to me, we made things far worse after 9/11.

"Theater"
Also, tough shit about the restaurants -- The pigs cheered when SCOTUS said refusing to bake a gay cake was great for 'merka.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down
