   I don’t know what the hell ICE / CBP / FBI?? / other feds are up to, but we’ve had several •huge• swarms of federal vehicles rolling out these last few days.

   They aren’t doing the kinds of chaotic off-the-street kidnappings there were doing all through Dec and Jan. But they sure as hell are doing •something•.

     Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.

     That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.

     Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.

     It’s possible that these vehicle swarms we’re seeing are more along those lines: making a show of “investigating” and arresting the regime’s political undesirables.

     I’ll also repeat my guess that they’re going to keep trying to pump up their abduction count by targeting places like prisons and farms and industrial sites where the kidnappings won’t get filmed.

     They wouldn’t be buying up all those concentration camps if the didn’t think they’re going to fill them.

     @inthehands You can’t have the largest law enforcement budget in the US and have ICE do *nothing* with it.

     They will use that money, one way or another.
