You can never tell the breaking point of fascism but this certainly looks like it. I'm happy I don't work for a US company because I no longer think it's ethical to do so.

Most people I know, including some on the right disagree with these tactics which seem designed more to intimidate and silence opposition. Of course you’re free to work with whomever you choose but it seems like a pretty empty virtue signal to avoid all companies in a huge, diverse country

The leader of that huge, diverse country controls the most powerful military in the world and is threatening to invade my country and is showing maps where it’s part of the US.

I have a 2 year old daughter.

With every fibre of my being I’m not spending a cent on any US business, person, company.

At the rate things are going, I wonder if America can hold together until the midterm. The Trump regime is acting like it wants a civil war.

If anyone told me in 2024 that America may see its own Tiananmen, I'd have laughed, but I'm not so sure now. I can totally see something similar at a smaller scale, and millions of Americans defending it with "it was necessary to keep law and order."

It might be empty but if enough people do this and put pressure on the US economy it might make a difference. It's unfortunate but many people won't care until it starts effecting them personally.

It's always been strange to me that Americans are allowed to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights...until they get killed by police. Then they should've known not to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.

Yeah, it's almost like people walking around with guns is a bad idea.

When those people are ICE it definitely is. I think those motherfuckers should be wearing straightjackets

IANAA: what legal powers does the city/state have to expel ICE agents? Especially as they are operating in, at best , increasingly shady legality. I always understood that the USA is built on a delicate balance of power between the federal and state governments. But here the federal government is sending thugs who, masked or unmasked, are brazenly killing people in bizzare circumstances. And the best the state can do…

Legal eagle has more in-depth analysis of this. But in summary, there's basically no recourse.

They have the same recourse the colonists had to eject King George's men. And the same duty.

The title calling it an “immigration crackdown” is propaganda. Texas and Florida have WAY more illegals than Minnesota [1], why are ICE not terrorizing citizens there? This federal violence and murder is not about illegals. Anyone that thinks it is is not paying attention. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1l8o8mu/percentage...

It's absolutely inexcusable, even moreso than the murder of Renee Good. Though I fully expect the usual suspects to show up and claim it was justified because he was resisting arrest, which seems to be the popular modus operandi for justifying execution by the state.

I don't know how you think this is worse than Renee Good's murder. She was shot in the temple through the driver side window while being directed by an Ice agent to drive away. She was then denied medical care at the scene, and local police were denied access to investigate while the shooter was shepherded out of state as quickly as possible

Well they tried to deny local police access here too, but the local police wasn't having it this time
