ICE Out for Good vigils and rallies are being tracked online by Indivisible, the group behind the No Kings protests

More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after an ICE agent killed US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis this week.

“This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities,” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action”.

    Those crowds carry an very clear implicit threat: “We’re here, we’re pissed off, and we’re getting angrier, and we’re ORGANIZED!”

    And yet despite those crowds, here we are. The crowds and numbers did not prevent this. Action is needed.

      You remind me of the posts I was seeing after Jan6, with people whining that the Traitors would totally get away with it. Eventually, over a thousand were convicted, and MANY went to prison, many for YEARS. You have to give the system time to play out.

      We are just getting started, and the Midterm Election is the next big milestone. Until then, the mission is to keep amping up the threat until they finally surrender.

      If not, we deploy the threat, but there are still important legal steps to get through first. They’re response to those steps will determine how far we’ll have to go, but we aren’t there yet.

        And Trump gave a blanket pardon to all of them.

        We are just getting started, and the Midterm Election is the next big milestone.

        I’m sure the people in Venezuela, Mexico, and Greenland will be glad to hear that action might be taken after the midterms. Plenty of time for Trump to destroy NATO with his illegal invasion of an “allied” nation.
        All the people being kidnapped and shot by ICE just need to wait until the midterms!

          And Trump gave a blanket pardon to all of them.

          After they’d spent a significant time in prison. Even one day in prison is a serious punishment that you will NEVER forget.

          It’s also attached to their permanent record and will follow them forever. I own a business, and hire people regularly, but no MAGA, and certainly no Jan 6 traitor, will ever work for me. I don’t care one bit if you were pardoned. If you hid it from me, and I found out, I’d fire you the first second I discovered it.

          Also, when MAGA is removed from office, the entire MAGA administration should be ruled invalid, and all legislation, executive orders, and especially pardons should be rolled back. Round up the criminals, and put them back in prison, including the Jan 6 Traitors.

          Or maybe we should load them on planes, and just drop them off at obscure rural airfields all over Russia. Land without permission, kick them off the plane, and just fly off, and leave them behind. Russia created this mess, let them deal with it.

            Should, yes. And after Jan 6 Trump should have been held accountable. Instead nothing happened until he was elected a 2nd time and the case was dropped. I have no faith that what should happen will actually happen.
