We're funding a secret police state. That will be the historical legacy of 2025. $187 billion and counting.
ICE had more resources than many entire nations spend on national security. They're paying entry level workers twice as much as school teachers and nurses with a decade of experience.

@wildgrass saidICE is Trump's private militia. If Trump is not removed from office, it won't be long before political dissident start 'disappearing.' Mark my words.

@moonbus saidMost of it is bluster but the funding situation bothers me the most. I can't believe you can get a $50,000 signing bonus and make $100k a year picking old immigrants off the street while my kids teacher's make less than half that.

My new years resolution is to stop reading the news so much.

@wildgrass saidThere's nothing secret about ICE, they are operating in plain view.

Why does the left subvert the use of language like that?

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWearing masks. So they cannot be later identified. They send detained people in untracked flights to undisclosed detention centers to which Congress has applied for entry and been denied. I call that secret.

@moonbus saidYou're talking about that one congresswoman that tried to storm the gate for a photo op and demanded entry. She didn't apply for nuthin'.

The facilities can be inspected any time if they go through channels and ask ahead of time.
As far as the masks, they've been worn by SWAT/Tactical Law Enforcement units for 50 years, have you been complaining about them all this time?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidThey wear masks and do not identify themselves and, as such, have no accountability for their actions that violate freedoms of citizens.

@wildgrass saidThat's exactly why they started wearing them when they went into gang neighborhoods. Stop lying.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidSWAT isn't secret police. ICE is. There's no comparison.

ICE are unaccountable for their actions.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidMasks, no id. Secret police.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidSWAT is State, not Federal, and they require a warrant.

TEACHERS no life risk. Mechanics who work on silos 90 feet up at the paper mill……they get paid higher wages than the pulp workers down below, Geez.
I guess you need to organize the pulp workers. I’d say for them to find higher paying jobs, or follow you with signs!,,,,WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE! (take what🤔)
@wildgrass saidI am totally missing this argument. If people gang bangers can walk down the street wearing mask and those damn hoodies, why cannot the police do the same. Why take exception to the police. I do not understand why you will not make that clear.

@AverageJoe1 saidHuh? More teachers are killed by live fire while working than ICE agents.
