ICE Going Door to Door in Grand Rapids, MI today

[Johnny2X2X]

Multiple reports, pics, and videos on social media today. ICE is terrorizing Grand Rapids today. They're on the West Side and in Godwin Heights near the high school currently. They're attacking people who answer their door they're stopping cars. Be careful out there.

So this isn't Minneapolis, this is coming to your town and your neighborhood.

1. Buy a whistle

I don't mean that as snarky, I am serious.
Plus, keep your cell charged for recording. It is best to record horizontal vs vertical.

[popsdenver]

6. Screw whistles

buy some hand held pressurized air horns...............

[mysteryowl]

9. Go for it.

[littlemissmartypants]

17. And some hearing protection for yourself while you're at it. 🌞❤️

[popsdenver]

26. Which brings up another thing

For large crowd control, the military already has truck mounted devices????? that can put out decibels so high, you experience un-fathomable pain. They also have truck mounted devices????? that put out microwaves???? that are so intense you think you are being burnt alive.............

[Trueblue1968]

19. Buy a gun.

[popsdenver]

31. They go into big hunting BLUE states

not thinking that those hunting citizens all have guns/?????????

But that is the last thing we should do.......it would give Trump/Republicans, an instantaneous justification to enable the Insurrection Act, repeal the Posse Comatatus Act, and declare martial law.....using that to bring in the full force of the U.S. Military across the United States and also cancel any/all elections.

They have orchestrated a perfect situation where we are: Damned if we do, Damned if we don't.

They watched Star Trek, and fashioned themselves a "BORG"......(Resistance Is Futile)
The Dems need to figure away out of this!............

I gotta tell you, the first ICE, Border Patrol, or other member of their goon squad that is shot,
It Will Be The "Shot Heard Round The World"

32. Governor Walz emphasizes peacefulness in his recent address. ❤️

2. This is only going to get worse unless they are defunded.

[mysteryowl]

3. There is a vote in 2 weeks.

Call our representatives PLUS Sen. Schumer. We need Schumer to step with courage now. Schumer, organize the Senators to vote no on refunding DHS unless ICE is reformed or ended.

[Fil1957]

20. My understanding is that there will be alternative sources of funding after 2 weeks. Nevertheless, every effort should

be made to stop any additional funding regardless of whether it will cause ICE to shutdown immediately.

[awesomerwb1]

28. Don't hold your breath on Schumer

I'll stop at that

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Something has to be done

I truly think people don't get it yet, ICE is completely out of control and they're not even fully staffed yet, they're going to double or triple in numbers from what they are now. They now have orders to go door to door in violation of the Constitution and they're doing just that. They're going through neighborhoods and kicking down doors of houses that they don't even know who lives there. They're beating women, children, the elderly and hauling them away without even knowing who they are because they get paid by the head whether or not that head is an immigrant or not.

If something isn't done, everyone will know someone attacked or beaten by ICE. Your neighborhood isn't exempt.

[OGBuzz]

11. This is collective punishment.

Every region which didn't vote majority Trump is a target.

They have shown us who they are and what this is.
Recently Noem spoke from a podium behind the logo 'one of ours, all of yours'. How this didn't receive the coverage it deserved amazes me. The phrase is credited to Nazis in 1942 when they massacred an entire Czech village in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.

[Johnny2X2X]

13. I feel like people are in a fog

And I feel like mass killing of civilians is just around the corner.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Be careful what you visualize.

[Johnny2X2X]

37. My visualization will not affect anything

You basically have the White House telling ICE employees to use deadly force and that they will have their back when they do.

I think we're way far down the rabbit hole and people are still thinking it's just not going to come to their door.

[littlemissmartypants]

38. It affects your stress level and that is a going concern for all of us. ❤️

[popsdenver]

16. ICE and Border Patrol

are insignificant compared to them militarizing the entire force of U.S. soldiers, and turning them loose under martial law.

[FakeNoose]

23. That was the reason for Mark Kelly's video - the US Army cannot be used for domestic law enforcement

[popsdenver]

24. Hey FN

Don't you wish you had a dollar for every time we all said: "He Can't Do That" ????
Or all the times we have said: "That Is Against The Law" or "That is Un-constitutional".......???????????????

We would have more money than Elon, Bezos, and that entire crowd of Zillionaires......

12. ...or defeated

[littlemissmartypants]

18. The funding runs out in 14 days. We can act. If we hurry.

ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded only through January 30.

The new funding bill that's currently being written is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn't get a single penny more to enable its brutality.

This bill cannot pass without Dem votes in the Senate, so we have real leverage here. But we need to act fast, and we need to be loud.

36. We all saw how well defund the police messaging worked out

While ICE is out of control and seemingly unaccountable I am not sure that the Democratic members of Congress will be able to successfully defund ICE and how well that message is going to resonate. Working on making them accountable and operating in a less violent, reckless and lawless way needs to be the message the last defund the police messaging campaign seemed to just bring a lot of blowback and no success

[littlemissmartypants]

40. You'll never know unless you try.

[Fil1957]

41. I agree that "Defund the Police" was terrible messaging. I did not mean that the Democrats should use "Defund ICE" as a

message, just that it should be done in practice. For messaging, call it a "moratorium on funding" until reforms have been made, or something like that.

[quakerboy]

39. This is only going to get worse

Full stop.

[Jacson6]

5. Knock, Knock

Person: May I help you?
ICE: hey, we got this cool deal that if you allow us to deport you to any where in the world he will pay for your plane ticket and give ya $3k. What do you think?
Person: Give me the $3k and I will think it over.

[BidenRocks]

7. Once they bust down the door they are targets.

MY Castle!

[creon]

14. yes they are a target.

If they break in

sort them out

[Fil1957]

21. That's exactly why they're doing that. They want to provoke a violent reaction, so Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act

and declare martial law.

[creon]

42. yes

That is why no one should shhot.
It is impractical.
At this time.

[llmart]

8. Is the DeVos family funding them?

I wouldn't be surprised.

[markie]

10. damn

[popsdenver]

15. They are all chicken shits

insecure pussies, going where they won't get resistance that they can't possibly handle.

Why Minneapolis, or grand Rapids???????? Small population.........
Going to small cities to overwhelmingly roll out his Insurrection Act/Martial Law???????

Even Minneapolis frightened them off..so go to an even smaller population community??????

*************************************************
Why not NYCity or LA??????????

NY City Population: 8,500,000.

LA Population: 10,000,000.

Minneapolis: 500,000

St Paul 313,000


Terrorism is used to strike fear into the masses, especially Domestic Terrorism...........

I would love to round up all of ICE, Border Patrol, Proud Boy's etc give them parachutes, put them on planes and air drop them into actual war zones, and see them cower when confronted with REAL frikken resistance, esp ones that shoot back....

[FakeNoose]

22. Grand Rapids has a lot of wealthy Repukes, and they aren't going to like this

Angry phone calls are being be made to the White House today.

[littlemissmartypants]

29. And they should be made to congress.

30. Yes indeed

Thanks for the reminder. We all need to go to work!

33. They're probably focusing on certain neighborhoods....

43. False news

It was a collaboration between Grand Rapids PD and the DEA. Had nothing to do with immigration or ICE.
