Federal records obtained by WIRED show that over the past several months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have carried out a secret campaign to expand ICE’s physical presence across the US. Documents show that more than 150 leases and office expansions have or would place new facilities in nearly every state, many of them in or just outside of the country’s largest metropolitan areas. In many cases, these facilities, which are to be used by street-level agents and ICE attorneys, are located near elementary schools, medical offices, places of worship, and other sensitive locations.

    Do people still think this about “immigrants”? So they will say they need “mental institutions “ and get anyone against this government there. It’s not about immigration

    They are spending those Billions from Trumps “beautiful bill” on gearing up heavy for “domestic emforcement”.

    Next time they deploy, it’s gonna be a WALL of force and new equipment to beat any opposition back. You won’t even hear about any RGs, or APs anymore.

    All those concentra…er detention centres getting built right are gonna fill with “undesirable citizens” (ie. Democrats, opposing republicans, poor people, …oh ya some immigrants as well).

    Mark my words.

      Yes, absolutely. The astronomical budget of this “agency” led to the conclusion, from the moment it was decided, that it would serve to establish a secret police force loyal exclusively to the regime. Why else would funds equivalent to the military budget of a medium-sized country be needed?

      Don’t worry; I have it on good authority that these peaceful protests are working. I mean I just saw an article that said the administration is going to pull ICE out of Minnesota!
