    ? 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?

      No, their point is that the post is full of lies. Not all lies, and plenty of the lies are based in truths. But they’re still objectively untrue. I also live in the Twin Cities and can verify that businesses have their doors open (who could imagine 🙄), people aren’t scared by music (???), I haven’t heard a helicopter in weeks (they never stop? C’mon, even during the George Floyd riots that wasn’t true and there were way more then), there aren’t government checkpoints in the middle of Eat Street, and the only cars on the side of the road with their hazards on are inexperienced and/or idiotic drivers who can’t handle winter roads. The post sounds deliberately written to make people think this shit is post-apocalyptic here. Not true and not helpful.

      I live in Minneapolis. If this motherfucker only saw one ICE vehicle, then they never went outside.

      It was this bad, but it has lessened a bit recently. However, they still haven’t left, they are still patrolling, and they are still kidnapping people.

      Yeah, there is fear still. There is paranoia still. There is anger still. There were checkpoints to look for ICE. There were face checks at schools. Fucking… These ICE pieces of shit were stalking school bus stops! Bus drivers were doing loops until they left!!! Those kids were so confused and scared.

      I personally saw multiple of these stake outs. Apartment buildings, schools, restaurants, stores, and bus stops. They always say they’re looking for some criminal, but it fucking never is. It’s always some guy with 3 kids who is getting home from work. Or some woman whose husband was already deported.

      Nah, the OP wasn’t exaggerating. Fuck ICE.
