If they don't want to be called "Nazi's" they need to stop acting like them! Why isn't every Democratic elected official calling them out in the same way?

Damn Right, CT. Rep. John Larson, THIS IS AMERICA IN 2025 NOT NAZI GERMANY IN THE 1930’s. Our Nation is A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS ENSHRINED IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND BILL OF RIGHTS PASSED BY OUR FOUNDERS ALMOST 250 YEARS AGO. OUR ANCESTORS DIED FOR THESE TWO DOCUMENTS THROUGH THE WARS THEY FOUGHT AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET AN “ORANGE SKINNED FASCIST “ AND HIS LACKEYS TAKE THEM AWAY !

All the Democrats in elected office need to fight back! This is no time to hide your head in the sand. What Trump is doing is just like what the Nazi's did, in fact I think Trump has mimicking what Hitler and and minions did in the 30's in Germany, then all of Europe. Fight back before it is to late. Protecting us and our Democracy is what we put you in office for. Fight back now!

YES he is using their playbooks and then denies he is a dictator. Ignorant creep.

Bravo! If the goon squad known as ICE is so proud of what they are doing, why do they need masks? Why aren’t they in uniform? If what they are doing is right, why no warrants? Why grab up people first and sort out the mistakes later? If they aren’t Nazis why is everyone detained brown? And, why are these brown people disappeared to who knows where and no one is allowed to know, speak to, or see them?

I can’t believe half the country is ok with this.

He is right to fight back to support his constituents. It’s about time all democratic reps and senators did the same forcefully.

I would further say that every Republican Representative and Senator should be speaking out against this policy. They were also voted in to represent the people, and took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Whether they support Trump's authoritarian policies fully, or do so with some reservations, or simply keep their mouths shut, they are treasonous cowards who put party over country and need to be removed from office.

I live in a fairly large Texas city and frequent a popular car wash that offers full service car wash and detailing.. EVERY employee is Hispanic, many don't speak English. The local citizenry don't have a problem with it. Except for the Democratic stronghold of Austin, there are no ICE raids in this state. And we have tens of thousands of undocumented workers in the state. So, uh, where is ICE?!?!

I believe you answered your own question - they are in the Democratic strongholds. They want to screw Democrats in every way in shape. The highest murder rates are in red states, yet, he’s going after blue states for their crimes. It’s simply an excuse for the abomination to hurt those he knows can’t stand him.

If anyone wants to know the worst crime-ridden city in this Country just check out Bessemer, Alabama.

In 2012 or so I worked a 45 day outage at the Bessemer Pipe Mill, my only time there. The area was economically depressed and some of the locals I met after work seemed pretty sketchy. I never personally witnessed any crime but it was obvious you had to be aware of your surroundings.

Odd, I have family just below Cleveland in Medina and they've never mentioned it.

ICE avoids red states. Obviously. Targets blue areas. Orders of the idiot in chief.

This is confusing. It sounds like you are upset that unidentified masked men are not coming to your community to arrest workers simply doing their jobs. I mean why should Austin be the only Texas community with illegal arrests by ICE. Not fair!

Bruce Jordan's avatar

I'm sorry you misunderstood my comment. I do not support masked agents ANYWHERE and I despise Donald Trump. Most of the workers at the car wash know me well for two reasons : I'm friendly with all of them......and I'm a good tipper.

One day, when the Republicans are voted out, they all should face sedition charges and abuse of power. In addition, they should also be charged with aiding and abetting the traitor Donald Jackass tRump willfully and intentionally violated the Constitution of the United States of America. Every member of his cabinet and the Republican Speaker of the House, Mickey Mouse Johnson, should be banned from holding any political office and put in jail for life.

Tell it like it is. Masked thugs in and out of uniform, armed with multiple weapons, flack jackets. helmets, no id’s and no written warrants, no orders of arrest or discussion of cause, no reading of captives rights (Miranda requirements), incarceration without legal indict ment process, illegal captivity of those arrested, no communication with counsel, contact with family members; and deportation to prison in foreign lands. False imprisonment for violating a civil order, breaking no laws- so why are the black, brown, yellow skinned folks (some citizens, some worker on work- visas, some Dreamers, some refugees, process of applying for visa’s to stay in US to work or go to school.

At most, those arrested under the excuse of being criminals, have only committed civil

offenses. Why such punitive behavior by Trump’s goon squads? Because, he desires spread terror and confusion; a reckless and cruel sense of

lawlessness among our most vulnerable residents!

His policies, followed unconstitutional actions are completely illegal, unamerican.

Drump should be ashamed of himself. Oops! I forgot that he believes a president is above the law. Well, that perspective runs counter-intuitive to our nation’s founding principles declared in our Bill of Rights and the US Constitution! In otherwards, he and his regime who supports his orders are traitors to our country, and should be dealt with immediately!

When the Proud BOYS that trumPEE pardoned, after their attack on the Capitol, were allowed to join ICE, it heralded a steep decline in the respectability of the agency. And those agents have proven that this loss of confidence is deserved.
