Background

Immigrants in America are being abducted by ICE, often while lawfully attending immigration court hearings, and often without warrants. ICE is breaking our 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure when they force their way into homes without judicial warrants, and pull people over purely based on the color of their skin. Many who are abducted are being denied their Constitutional right to due process. They are being sent to prisons with inhumane conditions, sometimes in countries far away from their countries of origin.

Court rulings have shot down this illegal, immoral treatment of human beings, but the Federal Government is appealing those rulings and doing it anyway. Congress is doing nothing to stop it from happening, so it’s up to us to do everything we can to stop them. “Living in the U.S. without legal authorization (unlawful presence) is a civil offense,” NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. (source) What this regime is doing with their ICE agents in OUR STREETS is meant to be cruel, hostile, and inhumane to feed the narrative that they’re detaining and deporting criminals. The cruelty is the point.

REMEMBER: Billionaires want the public to believe that immigrants, or anyone who’s non-white, are the ones ruining our economy and making our lives less safe. They want people to believe that immigrants are hoarding our tax dollars, stealing our jobs, and milking our social assistance systems, making it hard for ALL OF US to get by. Never forget: OUR ECONOMIC STRUGGLES EXIST BECAUSE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS EXISTS. They want the Class War to be a Race War, as usual.
