A $50,000 signing bonus to join ICE. With adding all these people so quickly to ICE, what training and background checks are done. Police do background checks and training but I am not sure about new ICE recruits when we see some of the things they do. ICE grabs people off the streets while wearing masks. Often the people grabbed are actual American Citizens. Imagine how you would feel if this happened to you. The appearance of being Latino was enough reason for snatching people. This is illegal but that has never stopped Trump and the racist Stephen Miller–a truly not case. It’s purpose was to instill fear in people. We do not need federalizing the National Guard. This was another method of instilling fear and cower people. Whart did the National Guard do in DC? They stood around the Lincoln and Jefferson memorial and did not go into the more crime infested areas of the city. They did spread mulch and pick up trash. Teenagers could be hired to do those things and save money. ICE asked citizens to snitch on their neighbors if they thought that the neighbor might be illegal. This conduct is just like Hitler and the Gestapo when raids in the middle of the night and when neighbors got up in the morning their neighbor was gone. He had disappeared into the Night and Fog. Not knowing instills fear. Maybe you are not worried about ICE raids because you do not look like a Latino. Remember Pastor Niemöller’s quote about “first they came for… and then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out.” Do not think the Trump administration will stop with going after people they think are migrants. Trump already wants the Justice Department to go after people who are on his enemies list and then, after those who speak out. He wants to silence us and he wants to ignore the First Amendment. For evil to succeed it only takes people to remain silent. Speak out; stand up and vote.
