I am not sure but I don't think locals have that kind of power. It would be the equivalent of active civil war between the feds and the states. While it may come to something like that it will not be anything but bad. Very bad. There are millions of guns in this country.
Actually, the city police have the authority within the city. If they determine that a crime, a violation of city code is committed, they have the authority to arrest.
What if an ICE agent brutally attacked a private citizen? Should the agent go without punishment?
The agent should be arrested charged tried and convicted but this is trump world where the rules no longer apply. Arresting an ICE agent would not end well and even if they can do it do they want to? Aren't they all some sort of brotherhood thing?
If they’re deputized and given authority by DHS, they are agents of ICE. The fact that they aren’t on the full time payroll is irrelevant. Many Brown Shirts enthusiastically volunteered, only a few were actually full time paid “agents.”
There is always hope in politics. Current reality is never permanent so take the long view on the outcome. I believe there is a majority resistance forming now and it will become a force. No telling what happens.
That is exactly why I refuse to donate one more cent, to the Democrats. All they do is collect our money. The only one doing what needs to be done, is Governor Gavin Newsom. There's also a Senator doing an amazing job, his name escapes me now tho.
This is an obscenity, an assault on the rule of law by Trump's stormtroopers. But how can they be stopped? The courts are either terrified, or complicit, or both, and Congress is cheering it on. As to Senator Padilla, the Dems should shut the Senate down until Nazi Noem resigns and this shit stops.
They cannot be stopped. We are now so far into this that the only way forward is through it. Dems have zero power as demonstrated by a day of bloviating about the thugs in power. MAGATS are happy and still support him. They have to be crushed.
That remains to be seen. This is a never-before evolving situation that will move forward as the environment directs. No one, even Trump, knows where this is going.
But how will we crush them? They own the military and the cops, as well as all three branches of government. This is Nazi Germany and I don't think we're going to survive.
We will likely become a dual state where rule of law appears to exist for some but not for others. Hitler did it and trump is dong it now. Remember he is mentally ill so very unpredictable because even he doesn't have a plan. Stephen Miller has the plan and is in trump's ear. We will survive in some form and then there will be another revolution and something better will be created. Take the long view. It is less scary than the short view.
Yes, at 76 I understand completely. If you live to be 80 things will be very different one way or another. Life is better than TV and it is putting on quite a show!
This isn’t about what anyone thinks. It’s about what is going to be done about this. How do we get these impersonators arrested and locked up. How do we get 47 arrested and locked up.
Corrupt Police State Forming Now. They do not care about your rights, they will just lie. They do not care about your life if you get in the way. Trump is waiting for the chance to kill a few people in order to reinforce his authority. MAGATS did all of this and this country is never going back to before MAGATS decided.
I am beyond the point of being pissed off. What the hell is wrong with our Congress that they will not put a stop to this immediately? Is it that important to them that this criminal stays in the White House? How can they look their children in the eyes and feel proud of themselves? How can they look themselves in the eye and not feel sickened?
This behavior is completely as SenatorMark Kelly says "completely unAmerican". This should never be tolerated. Wake up our Democracy is under threat!!!
At the very, very least, Noem should have all ICE agents NOT be allowed to wear masks and carry exposed, proper IDs affixed to their front gear. At a bare minimum, take the “shock and awe” factor out of the equation.
So out of control!! The goal is to make us ALL afraid!! It needs to stop!! When did we become nation afraid of immigrants- we are ALL immigrants!!! Damn
The reality is that there are more of us than there are of them. The extremists pushing this authoritarian agenda are a minority, but they rely on intimidation, misinformation, and apathy to maintain power.
If people—especially those who are just now waking up—realize their collective strength, they can stop this madness. It’s not about waiting for some hero to save the day. It’s about everyday people making informed choices, refusing to be silenced, and standing up for democracy.
This battle is not just about saving democracy—it’s about reshaping it into something stronger, more just, and more resistant to the forces that have tried to undermine it. The people who are waking up now will not unsee what they’ve learned, and that’s where real, lasting change begins.
The struggles we’re facing today will forge a more informed, engaged, and resilient society. Those who have been silent are finding their voices. Those who have been passive are becoming active. And those who once believed “it can’t happen here” now understand that it can—but also that they have the power to stop it.
We will win, and we will be better for it because we will have learned the lessons that history has been screaming at us for decades. We will have seen firsthand how fragile democracy is, and we won’t take it for granted again. The next generation will be stronger, wiser, and more prepared to protect what we nearly lost.
COWARDS!!!!! You're actually going to churches, schools, work farms…and courthouses where people are FOLLOWING THE LAW TO BECOME A CITIZEN???? YOU COWARDS!!!!
Whoever I see photos of these fake ICE agents, I find it interesting to note their body armor covers their fat bellies but leaves their privates pretty much unprotected. Now if I were a soldier and firing back at these thugs, where would it make the most sense to aim?
Don't buy anything you need to pay taxes on . Don't even buy gas unless it's mandatory .Walmarts delivery for a couple of dollars . Walmart owner posted a full page ad in NY newspaper saying how wrong this is . I know people think Walmarts part of this but they really did take care of my daughter and son when they need d jobs in Ark . They even gave them 2 weeks off with pay when my son in laws brother died in a cycle accident the week after they were hired . This proved to me they aren't that bad to work for . Walmart also has contributed immensely to the Ark publucs comfort . They have beautiful museums and very nice parks . If we all quit buying , traveling , and contributing to only a good few businesses . .tighten down with the budgets and not pay taxes except for complete necessities...we can hurt them where it hurts . Delivery for Walmart is $3.00 if you spend over $35.00 so why even leave if we don't have to .then they won't have any reason for this BS military ,creating fear in our little ones and our good neighbors that we need dearly more now than ever .The fiasco deportation is going to totally screw up our economy . Let them be the ones to wreck it ...we can hold off and get thru this with less stress if we try and just act like it's CoVid again .
If Rump is just going to endlessly pardon these criminals IF they somehow end up convicted in court then what’s the point of letting them live? 🙃 Maybe WE should disappear them instead 🤔
Look closely at their clothing and how one guy is wearing his hat backwards. These men are not ICE agents.
That is completely irrelevant. They have the guns and permission!!!
The local police need to challenge and if necessary arrest the so-called ICE agents who refuse to leave private and/or church property.
Once they refuse to leave, the agents (extremist thugs) should be arrested for trespassing if for no other reason..
I am not sure but I don't think locals have that kind of power. It would be the equivalent of active civil war between the feds and the states. While it may come to something like that it will not be anything but bad. Very bad. There are millions of guns in this country.

The war between feds & states is already happening. That’s why at least one court judge has ruled on behalf of the state.
If they’re deputized and given authority by DHS, they are agents of ICE. The fact that they aren’t on the full time payroll is irrelevant. Many Brown Shirts enthusiastically volunteered, only a few were actually full time paid “agents.”
God help us, if the courts and our elected officials don’t do something we have no hope.
There is always hope in politics. Current reality is never permanent so take the long view on the outcome. I believe there is a majority resistance forming now and it will become a force. No telling what happens.
Yes but dammit. The Dems need to fight back with ONE message and shut up about everything else for now.
I don’t think Jeffries or Schumer are up for this moment.
That is exactly why I refuse to donate one more cent, to the Democrats. All they do is collect our money. The only one doing what needs to be done, is Governor Gavin Newsom. There's also a Senator doing an amazing job, his name escapes me now tho.
Democrats at the local, county, state and national levels must get organized and must strategically fight back now!
But yet how can they fight back if they don’t get elected and to get elected they have to get out there and get noticed which seems to take money.

And the question is how?
That remains to be seen. This is a never-before evolving situation that will move forward as the environment directs. No one, even Trump, knows where this is going.

I'm 75 so it's a bit tough for me to take the long view. I don't expect to survive to see the end of American fascism.
Yes, at 76 I understand completely. If you live to be 80 things will be very different one way or another. Life is better than TV and it is putting on quite a show!
Shouldn't the vehicle have a government license plate. Imo, J6ers, white supremacists, and security contractors. Poorly trained, bigoted ss types.
This has gotten completely out of hand. They’re using gestapo tactics. In America. We can’t let this stand.
Not only will it stand it will get much worse soon
This isn’t about what anyone thinks. It’s about what is going to be done about this. How do we get these impersonators arrested and locked up. How do we get 47 arrested and locked up.

WE THE PEOPLE can stop this MADNESS!
WE THE PEOPLE can save our DEMOCRACY!
