Wait till ICE is deployed to the polling stations in blue states and harrasses every single person showing up. I think this needs to be highlighted. This is a full on Gestapo force not an Immigration force anymore. They will be used throughout the country to harass, kidnap and ensure that Republican rule in all three branches of the federal Gov't stays in Republican hands. With all the levers the Republicans put in place to fix the election for them in 2024 and with a military force now in place to use intimidation and violence we as a free nation of Democracy is over.
