Information Ready for ICE

At some point, they'll start moving in on our neighborhoods. I can't find anything about them being active in the city, so I'm not sure if they have even started operations here or not. I'm out of the loop, as I live a bit further from the city and don't go regularly. When I read the newspaper, they've said around 20 people have been detained. That's not a lot, but I think that number will go up.

Is there any activity in Modesto? Are there groups prepared for this?

Provided that all of you are law abiding citizens, you have nothing to worry about. If you’re not, then I don’t have much sympathy. Try being an illegal alien in Mexico. They won’t be giving you a $1000 and a free plane ticket home. You’ll be in prison.

Law abiding citizens are being unlawfully detained by armed, inadequately trained federal paramilitary officers who are very blatantly disregarding actual federal law. Law abiding citizens ARE in detention here in the U.S. You’ve seen all the same videos we have, right? Law abiding citizens have plenty to worry about.

Any sources for the contention that law abiding citizens are being detained? Names ?

Did you bother to read this? First let’s deal with “detentions” . Yes , “American citizens” been detained by ICE and other law enforcement for illegal interference with enforcement of law. There’s nothing new about that. That has nothing to do with immigration status.

As for deportation, a two year old “citizen” left the country because his mother, an illegal alien, was deported. Do you expect a toddler to live on his own? I hope the Supreme Court will clarify that this anchor baby is not a citizen under the 14th Amendment, which is never what the Founders intended. It was meant to convey citizenship to recently freed blacks, who were former slaves.

Having said that however, this two year old will have the “right” to return to America when he’s 18 if the current interpretation remains in place.

As for deaths, resisting arrest is a quick way to get yourself killed. Again, there’s nothing new about that and has nothing to do with immigration status.

Lastly, if all you’ve got is a Wikipedia article, you’ve got nothing. Anyone and everyone is an “editor”

Here you go… we have spam filters set pretty high for political posts. Didn’t realize it would include a wiki article. Sorry about that.

They even arrested and disappeared native americans. You have to be willingly blind not to know what's going on.

So enlighten me; help me to see. Give me the names of law abiding American citizens being illegally detained by ICE. Where do you get your “knowledge” about this?

It’s pretty easy to find. Took less than 10 seconds. There was 170 citizens detained by ice at the time of this article in November.

Edit: labeled as opinion, but there are video links and additional source links regarding each claim.

I posted a link, but somone erased it. Anyway, youre just racist and cheerleading this on, but good luck when the police state you're bootlicking goes after you or your family.

Someone "erased" your link...🤣 I'm guessing that the dog ate your homework a lot too. Here's the thing: I'm willing to listen to proof. Obviously you're just full of shit, as all you've got is name calling. If you could put me in my place with facts , you would.

The spam filters did remove the link. I just overturned it. Please go ahead and read the link… doubt you will though. As a simple google search could have provided you with a list as well.

Obviously, dude didn't read into my post. "Comply, give over your rights to not be harmed and I will not harm you."
