According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.
None of us can handle the “big picture”, we are all at best familiar with just a small portion of the fuckery going on. There isn’t enough time in the day
It’s not even a “USA” thing. Wait until other countries figure out it’s an international consortium of the super wealthy families and business interests that have been around since the slavery days!
They own Think Tanks and publish opinion pieces and studies all over the world, and own most of the modern media landscape, and trade practically everywhere in US dollars and more (each country is different, you tell me the country and I’ll tell you how they subsidize or are subsidized by the USA-UK superfriends).
Check out the Panama and Pandora Papers for starters, and so much more.
They are not even vaguely US nationalist, they will drop the USA as soon as it is more profitable than not to do so.
