They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads. Let that sink in and realize what they really are, because it’s not a force for immigration enforcement, it’s an army simping for Trump. They will be weaponized at a much greater scale in the future certainly.

    A mod should sticky a correction to this post if the OP doesnt make an edit themselves

    Reports that ICE purchased tomahawk missiles have since been corrected to have likely been a clerical error on an order form. OP themselves linked to reporting to this error in a comment below

        Perhaps you should edit your post to reflect that. Most people don’t look at the comments. Without a correction, you’ll be misinforming a lot of people

    They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads.

    The article you linked makes no mention of this. What is the basis for this claim?

    More accurately, its preparation for martial law in November. Any US citizen who thinks there will be free and fair elections is not paying attention. The regime are not leaving power willingly.

    Time is running out for nation wide general strikes …

        If any sane governor tries to push back against martial law, killing of dissenters and the total subversion of democracy, Trumps private army will be indeed well armed.

        Too many people are just not getting it. The regime will not relinquish power.

    Raw Story already stretches the truth for clicks. You’re here just making completely unsubstantiated claims. They are doing more than enough heinous shit without people mudding the waters with lies.

    In response to the article itself, which references a 360% increase in weapons spending, ICE more than doubled the number of agents it employs. I wish they wouldn’t, but they seem to think that all of these untrained traitors need weapons. It makes sense that they would have a massive increase in weapons purcheses to outfit the new traitors and the future traitors they’re hoping to hire.

    This is a non-story for the most part and you don’t need to add lies to it.

    I thought the whole “missiles and warheads” thing was a debunked claim from a misunderstanding of less-lethal launchers and their ammunition. Rubber balls and teargas sorts of stuff.

    What they’re buying seems to be the same shit that any podunk small-town PD has been buying for the last 15 years with their budget surplus. Which is a problem in and of itself, but it’s not an escalation beyond what is unfortunately the norm.

    If they’re picking up heavy machine guns or Hellfire missiles, let us know.

      Maybe I’m not reading your tone correctly, but this seems to be really, REALLY downplaying the threat here, especially with the last line of “if they’re buying this other shit, let us know” like what they currently have access to isn’t bad enough for the threat to US civilians?

      I’m just wondering why you took this take. Again, unless i misread your tone here.

        So more than one thing can be evil at a time. Posting with a title that is clearly not even implied by the linked article is the kind of evil misinformation that got us in this mess. That is as close to a “tone” in what he wrote. It’s nowhere near extremly dismissive of anything. Doesn’t even mention anything about a threat.

          🤷‍♂️ I guess you’re right, but the take away I got from their last sentence was ICE buying more weapons isn’t something they are concerned about or want to hear about, unless its machine guns and hellfire missiles. That’s the dismissive part to me. They’re staying it’s not news worthy unless it’s an escalation from the weapons regular police departments already have.

      Because they’re not an immigration agency, they are a certain twatwaffle’s personal bully party. An inept, untrained, pathetic bunch of tiny dicks. The brown shirts, if you will.

      They will be the secret police, arresting and killing dissidents. In Portugal, during the Estado Novo regime, the secret police of Salazar’s regime, PIDE, also began with the merging of two immigration and border control agencies.

    From the outside looking in it looks like things have gone too far for the american population to do anything now. You are fucked, by the looks of it.

    If there were protests and general strikes done at the start of all this, well, terrorism then it wouldn’t have got to this point.
    “But how were we to know?” Well, apart from all the history of dictatorships, all the many signs it was going to be a dictatorship, the fat child raping cunt himself saying he was going to be a dictator from day one, and thousands and thousands of people saying it then, ha, ‘nothing’.

    There’ll try to rewrite it all that the orange kiddie fiddler was innocent but, fortunately, the rest of the world will know the truth. Basically, to his are fucked but history will not be kind to the Donvict Drumpf and some of his enablers.

      We have a massive election in. November, and that could potentially change everything. It makes no sense to blow up the country with senseless violence, NOW, when there is still a legal option that could be truly effective and change the course of the nation. But right now, violence would be useless, and counterproductive.

      MAGA definitely WILL fuck with this election, and if they refuse to accept the bloodbath that is almost certainly coming, and prevent those new Reps and Senators from taking their seats, THEN, when our LEGAL election choices have been rejected, violence would have a purpose, and would make sense.

      Right now, the mission is to stay under control, motivate voters, accumulate voting power, and RESIST EVERYTHING.

        I hope you are correct.

        However that’s only if the midterms happen, and there’s been talk of cancelling them.
        Plus it does look like the paedo and his cronies are trying to terrorise people to not go to the voting booths.
        Time will tell, but again I hope you are right.
