ICE

A statement from the Libertarian party

ICE is a division of the Department of Homeland Security. Much like DHS itself, it was spawned as a response to 9/11 and the Global War on Terror. ICE was created in a national security context, blending immigration enforcement with counterterrorism culture, equipment, and mindset.
What we are seeing in the United States is the rise of the warrior cop. Masked federal agents donning multicam and plate carriers, injected into civilian life with a GWOT mentality. This is no routine law enforcement. This is occupation-style policing.
Until recently, immigration enforcement was overwhelmingly a civil matter. Visa overstays, border crossings, and asylum claims were processed administratively rather than treated as battlefield threats. Under the current administration, immigration is increasingly framed as criminality itself. So when the President says they are “going after criminals,” that definition quietly expands to include visa overstays, people in green card or asylum processing, and peaceful individuals caught in bureaucratic limbo. This framing becomes the justification for the police state.
The Department of Homeland Security has now taken the position, via internal guidance, that entering homes without a judicial warrant using administrative authority is lawful. This is an assertion by fiat, not a principle recognized by the Constitution, statute, or the courts. The Fourth Amendment does not bend to agency memos.
The militarization of domestic enforcement did not happen overnight. The surplus weapons, vehicles, and equipment from foreign wars were gradually brought home and distributed to federal agencies and police departments through long-standing programs that accelerated after 9/11. The tools of war have been normalized in civilian governance.
Now those weapons, systems, and intelligence apparatuses are being used against immigrants and citizens alike.
Soon, they will be used against you.
The technocratic police state is designed for mission creep. Powers justified for one emergency expand to the next, until they are permanent, all-seeing, and unquestioned.
The left fights in the streets. The right cheers the legitimacy of the force used against them. Together, they move in a morbid waltz toward total technocratic control.
Do not be fooled. Every justification for state violence will be depersonalized, amplified, and systematized until it is a permanent feature of governance.
Abolish ICE. Reform the broken immigration system. Do not give the police state an inch.

This paragraph hits hard.

“The left fights in the streets. The right cheers the legitimacy of the force used against them. Together, they move in a morbid waltz toward total technocratic control.”

Unfortunately most Oklahomans have forgotten what it means to be Libertarian.

I hope his parents have thick skin; it may take several years for them to see justice served.
Also while I feel plenty of people can see what happened & form a rational take, I’m afraid they’ll be subjected to seeing a large load of partisan BS about their son for a while.

As I said before, we live in a post-truth world. Those in power will say whatever is in their interest and their supporters will believe it no matter what the obvious truth is.

their supporters will never change their minds/morals...I have seen and heard many accounts today and every maga I have heard from is blaming the protesters or Biden or immigrants...as in if they would just listen to ice he would be alive and if they were not allowed to come over by Biden we wouldn't be doing this...I am disgusted by friends and embarrassed by family members...

Q: Did he brandish a gun?

KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

It’s also come out today that one of the undocumented immigrants from Laos that DHS published the wanted posters for and whom DHS said was living at the address for the man arrested wasn’t at that address.

He has actually been living since September 2024 at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Faribault.

But you know propaganda and all.

Also, when you beotch and whine about being called a racist or bigot and use language identical to this guy or Stephen Miller to identify your fellow human, don’t expect understanding or sympathy from people who call you out.

If you don’t want to be called racist or get offended by it, maybe stop talking like a racist.
