A “no work, no school, no shopping” blackout day of protest was kicked off by community leaders, faith leaders and labor unions on Friday in protest against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surge in the state.

The “Day of Truth & Freedom” protest comes in the wake of the killing of Renee Good, the unarmed woman killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis earlier this month.

      Obama wasn’t in the habit of having unidentified, masked federal agents breaking into citizen’s house without warrants, then keeping them in concentration camps, where they die or maybe get arbitrarily deported. People aren’t complaining about illegal immigrants getting deported. It’s the weaponization if the federal government against citizens and the lack of due process, which is afforded to all individuals regardless of how they ended up in the US.

      Your numbers are a strawman argument commonly used by people that don’t know what they’re talking about or are maliciously arguing in bad faith. Your lack of critical thinking leaves both options up for debate.

      And yet Obama didn’t need to send masked goons to occupy entire cities to do that because he isn’t a blithering moron.

          Ever stop to think that if the media, opposing party, regular citizens, and even voters in the same party, are all calling these actions facist that maybe…JUST MAYBE… Its because it reeks of facist ideology and anyone that has studied history during the 1930s+40s know what it looks and sounds like? If everyone is screaming the same fucking thing, MAYBE ITS TIME TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND.

          You can’t dox info that is meant to be public, like the identify of public employees. They’re not wearing masks because they’re doing things legally.

      3 million over eight years, versus 1.7 million over one year. If Trump doesn’t choke on a Big Mac, and keeps this up for 4 years, that would be over 13.5 million.
