Another glaring omission of the Corporate Media:

All of the ICE goons' harassment and atrocities are taking place in Blue State cities that didn't vote for Trump. This should be brought up over and over again to prove that there is no immigration crisis. The ICE presence is nothing more than yet another example of Trump retribution.

If there was a real immigrant crisis, ICE would be hitting places like the Tyson Chicken plant in Iowa.

This is a confounder.

A causes B ... Okay.

On the other hand, A and C pretty much always co-occur, so it's just as valid to say C causes B. Because you can't tell given the data at hand.

Not that the two can't both be reasons at the same time--but then there's still no way to tell if A started off as the cause of B and then C became more important because, well, you can't tell which (if either) is the real reason.

they grab mothers, teens, working men. Never the actual gangsters, you know, folks who might fight back.

Local and national MSM have consistently referred to these masked goons as "law enforcement officers".

We are witnessing the normalization of mob rule.

Do it every day. Try to be almost a pest to them. Maybe it will change.

There once were some raids in blue towns,
Where dissent was the crime that abounds.
They cried “border collapse!”
While they staged a loud lapse
In the cities where Trump wasn’t crowned.

In precincts that voted “not him,”
ICE swaggered with posture quite grim.
If crisis were real,
They’d go where it’s steel—
Not places that simply vote “lib.”

They thundered of chaos and fear,
Yet skipped where the profits are clear.
No knock on Iowa doors,
At the plants and the floors—
Just cameras in cities, not here.

If migrants were truly the flaw,
Why dodge every workplace with law?
The Tyson-line proof
Puts the claim on the roof:
It’s vengeance, not justice, we saw.

So chant it again and again,
Till the talking point buckles and bends:
No crisis to find,
Just a grudge dressed as kind—
Retribution parading as “ends.”

Call it theater, muscle, or spite,
But the pattern’s in plain, glaring sight:
Where ballots went blue,
The sirens ensue—
And that tells you who’s wrong, not who’s right.

Is that Trump has hired his own personal army to harass and instigate people who oppose him. What’s the historic analogy I’m looking for…. BROWN SHIRTS maybe?
