ICE was designed as a secret police force to operate inside the USA, but outside both State and Federal laws. You are taxed to pay ICE thugs to overthrow America’s Constitutional Republic.

In an attempt to seize unconstitutional powers that will enable him to rule the USA as a dictator, Donald Trump is trying to deploy both ICE and the military in American cities. His goal: suppress and control American citizens that oppose his Fascist intent.

How does Trump intend to overthrow our government?

ICE is pivotal. Donald Trump pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—attacked a Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Some of these criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters—a Gestapo-like private police force directed by Donald Trump to ignore the law, ignore due-process rights, and (before the courts can learn of their existence) kidnap People of Color and make them disappear.

Who would support Trump’s treasonous intentions?

Trump’s MAGA base includes a hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court. It includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet. It includes hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA Republicans are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

Trump has deployed ICE to suppress and control, (or eliminate) Americans who oppose his coup attempt. Trump’s personal secret police force, is being expanded. In 2026, ICE will operate with a budget larger than the militaries of most countries in the world.

To the delight of MAGA Republicans, but in direct contravention of the Constitution, Fascist Donald Trump has banned all criticism of his criminal acts, his person, and his Presidency.

American patriots are ignoring Trump’s attempt to eliminate their freedom of speech. The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his treasonous coup attempt, his secret police, his Fascist Sycophants, and his ongoing criminal acts. This majority will not rest until Trump is impeached, removed from office, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.

I am very thankful for the independent media like yours, Samuel. I have felt since 2015 that the MSM was losing credibility. I continually mentioned to my husband in 2015-2016 during the campaigns that MSM certainly seemed to be favoring the orange clown. I wondered why, as he was certainly not qualified in any way to be President. And that has been proven now: twice, unfortunately. Yours is one of the few media sources I can actually trust.

If the people of Chicago and Portland were to stay home, vacate the streets… What would that do to the military that’s there? They wouldn’t have anything to do or anyone to “police“. So what would that do?

ICE would probably be ordered to start kicking in doors to distract us.

One more news source that used to be centrist and generally reliable has just wimped out, rolled over, and finally died as a reasonably reliable source of information.
