    I live in the Twin Cities and this is an exaggeration. I drive by the Whipple building multiple times a week. I am in Little Somali several times a week. I’ve driven past the Alex Pretti shrine. I’ve seen one SUV that seemed to be ICE. That’s it. This whole time.

    What do you mean “this whole time”?

        Since Dec 4, you’ve only seen one SUV that might have been ICE?

        The kidnappings, home invasions, murders are all exaggerations?

          Oh yeah, helicopters. Nope. No more than normal meaning a couple a day; news and medi-flights. The media would LOVE to show some morons rapelling down from a helicopter.

            They did that in Chicago, right? When that one ICE guy made history by saying “fuck them kids”.

          FFS, are you trying to be a troll? Seeing ICE multiple times a day is an exaggeration. Any whistle on TV/ song gets people looking for ICE is an exaggeration. Most people here haven’t seen ICE even driving by.

          Yes, ICE is detaining people illegally then releasing them without any phone or means home.

          Yes, they were breaking into homes without a judicial warrant. That has fallen way off since Homan. They shifted tactics to more subtle means.

          Yes, they killed multiple people and there is no faith that it is being investigated. Those things get big media attention and you have seen most of them.

              Agreed. But the list made it seem like a war zone. I agreed with parts and disagreed with other parts. This is all from my perspective as well, but that should be a given.

            ? So . . . what’s your point then? ICE’s tactics embody fascism in America but it’s not that bad? It’s only happening a little bit?

            Breaking into homes without a warrant “falling off” . . . what, cool?
