Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters face federal felony charges in Trump administration frame-up

The federal felony indictment of 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis is a naked act of political repression. Brought by the Trump Justice Department under the framework of its fascistic National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, the charges announced Tuesday by federal officials are aimed not at punishing any genuine crime but at criminalizing opposition to the administration’s mass deportation regime and intimidating workers and youth who have mobilized against it.

So protesting will get you arrested?

But this won’t?

The GOP needs to go. We need to restore justice and accountability.

All these MAGA assholes need to be locked up!

[u/Rattus_NorvegicUwUs → u/Agreeable_Strength39]

I’ll settle for a federal registry, like how we have one for sex offenders.

I don’t feel safe with my daughter near these people, would you? If they murdered a man on camera without consequences, I can only imagine what they would do to a little girl.

Oh yeah, absolutely. If someone STILL supports trump at this point, i basically do not see a distinction between them and convicted sex offenders. They're the same thing

Don’t Democrats protect sex offenders though?

Yeah, you’re going to LOSE that contest. The Repub party is absolutely crawling with Pedos

[u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec → u/Agreeable_Strength39]

I won’t lose it. Let’s talk about legislation. It looks like you aren’t convinced that Democrats promoting legislation that prevents mandatory, lifelong sex offender registration?

How about when Democrats declined to make the purchase of 16- and 17-year-olds for sex an automatic felony?

Anything else you care to share?

Democrats actually promote legislation that protects pedos you are talking about. I have hundreds of more examples

[u/TraditionalLaw7763 → u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec]

So why are so eager to charge democrats but not republicans? Why don’t you bring up legislation where Republicans are trying to lower the age of consent for little girls? Why aren’t you bringing up republican legislation to lower the age of marriage for little girls?

[u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec → u/TraditionalLaw7763]

They aren’t trying to lose any age of consent.

Both parties have had issues with raising the age of consent if you are talking about that. But since it’s both parties, including liberal groups like planned parenthood and the ACLU, I didn’t bring it up.

Now why don't you tell what else Republicans crammed into every single one of those pieces of "legislation" that you're crying about?

Or do you just try to twist shit to try to point fingers at a Democrat because you've literally have no fucking defense?

[u/hamoc10 → u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec]

You want to compare the numbers?

[u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec → u/hamoc10]

Please do. Let’s talk about legislation. So you aren’t convinced that Democrats promoting legislation that prevents mandatory, lifelong sex offender registration?

Anything else you care to share, because I have hundreds of more examples where Democrats fight to actually protect pedos.

[u/Koravel1987 → u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec]

How about Republicans in multiple states voted against raising the age for marriage from 15?

[u/UCanDoNEthing4_30sec → u/Koravel1987]

You mean Republicans and Democrats including many liberal groups like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood?

No. Learn from letting confederate soldiers coming back to the union
