46. "The cops aren't trying to remove ICE. The Guard isn't going there to stop ICE."
Sun Jan 18, 2026, 06:25 AM
Jan 2026

The cops can't "remove ICE". That is the job of the courts, as has already happened in California and Oregon.

You might have noticed that "Black Bloc" (and those provocateurs who use those tactics) are out there instigating and carrying out violent acts in the same manner that you saw happen in Portland in the past and at Columbia U last year. Those are the same type of provocateurs who will also throw molotov cocktails at LEO and hurl bricks into unrelated business storefronts, all to encourage looting.

THAT type needs to be intercepted and isolated by LEO (from any source) to keep that riff raff away from the rightfully angry but peaceful/non-violent protestors and not provide an excuse to trigger the foaming-at-the-mouth criminal J6 hires, who are now working as ICE goons.
