Immigration & Customs Enforcement—more commonly known as ICE, is a law enforcement agency of the federal government of the U.S. tasked to enforce the immigration laws of the United States & to investigate criminal and terrorist activity of foreign nationals residing in the U.S.
ℹ️ICE has two primary components: Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). It is an agency under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security and was established in 2003 following the 9/11 tragedy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Immi…
ICE was designed to keep us safe from terrorists—for instance, the terrorists who took over the planes on 9/11 were living undetected in the U.S. for over a year.

Pls read this thoroughly before commenting. The Trump administration has corrupted this agency to do horrific acts.
The Trump/Pence administration has radicalized ICE. They have ripped law abiding citizens right from their families and quickly deported them.

Worst of all, they've lied and separated children from their mothers & fathers—something the children may never recover from.
They've committed egregious, unforgivable acts. There is no doubt. And I can't list them all here.

But #Democrats, you have to watch out because this call to AbolishICE is a well-coordinated effort by the same Russians who interfered in our 2016 election. Using the hashtag.
🛠️Facebook officials said the tools & techniques for the UniteTheRight & AbolishICE movements were similar to those used by the Internet Research Agency, the Kremlin-linked group that was at the center of the indictment this year alleging interference in the 2016 prez election
🇷🇺In February of 2018, the Special Counsel charged 13 foreigners associated with Russia and three Russian organizations with illegally using social media platforms to SOW POLITICAL DISCORD. The 3 companies: Internet Research Agency, Concord Mngmt & Consulting & Concord Catering
🇷🇺The Russians began in 2014 to interfere with the U.S. political system and specifically the 2016 election.

They operated social media pages & groups designed to attract U.S. audiences, using divisive U.S. political & social issues. They used stolen identities of real people.
🇷🇺The Russians also traveled to the U.S. under false pretenses to collect intelligence to continue their operations and used computer infrastructure, partly based in the U.S., to hide the origin of the misleading information.

🇷🇺The Russians posted pro-Trump and anti-Clinton messages, purchased political ads on social media (under false names), posing as U.S. grassroots entities and U.S. persons. Social media including .youtube.com, Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
🇷🇺The Russians traveled to #Nevada, #California, #NewMexico, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Michigan, #Louisiana, #Texas & #NewYork to gather intelligence. While in Texas, a contact told them to concentrate on "purple" states like #Colorado, #Virginia & #Florida.
🐦They created 100s of social media accounts—posting around the clock—supporting radical political groups and created pages on issues such as: immigration, religion, Black Lives Matter & geographic regions, like "Heart of #Texas."
📲Starting in 2015, they started taking out social media ads to promote their groups. For example, the Russian Internet Research Agency controlled the twitter account "Tennessee GOP" or at-TEN_GOP, giving the impression it was a government account. It had 100,000 followers.
❗️The Russian groups used hashtags such as Trump2016, TrumpTrain, MAGA, IWontProtectHillary & Hillary4Prison.

💥💥They encouraged minority groups not to vote in the 2016 election or to vote for a third-party candidate.

📩These accounts had email accounts attached to them.
💥The Russians used Instagram pages such as "Woke Blacks," "Blacktivist" & "United Muslims of America" to promote Jill Stein and/or not voting.

🇷🇺The Russians also promoted the idea that #Democrats committed voter fraud and took out ads to promote those lies.
🇷🇺The Russians organized and coordinated political rallies, pretending to be U.S. grassroots activists. They recruited U.S. people to help them. The account at-March_for_Trump recruited people to march at "Florida Goes Trump" rallies in #Florida.
🇷🇺The Russians used social security numbers, home addresses, birthdays of real U.S. persons without their knowledge or consent and used these to open bank accounts in U.S. banks.
🇷🇺The allegations in the Special Counsel's Indictment against the Internet Research Agency, 2 other Russian organizations and 13 foreigners associated with Russia are all documented here, I just took some salient points:

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
⚡️In August, senior intelligence officials warned us that the Russians are going to do all this again in the 2018 Midterm elections.

Dan Coats: “We continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by Russia to try to weaken and divide the United States.”

wsj.com/articles/u-s-i…
😀And now Facebook has discovered that THEY'RE ALREADY DOING IT and #Democrats seem to be ignoring it. Russians are using AbolishICE to weaken the #Democratic party. It's a GOP talking point in which they try to make Democrats look extremist.
🤪As if it doesn't get any more corrupt, Putin is allegedly using ICE to "detain & ultimately deport" those who have come to the U.S. to seek asylum from Russia. He issues "Red Notices" via Interpol. The Justice Dept. does not recognize Putin's notices, but DHS & ICE rely on them
🇷🇺This means that innocent people who have stood up to Russia are also at risk by ICE. Like Bill Browder.

⚡️The Trump administration (and Putin) are contorting and corrupting ICE and directing them to do these things.

#Democrats, please read and listen. We have to win this election. We are winning right now.

🇷🇺But if we submit to these Russian tactics and fight against each other, we will lose. AGAIN.

💥Don't fall for these extremist views.
💥ICE will not be able to do any of these egregious things it is currently doing with a normal Congress. And we won't get a normal Congress if we are divided.

Former Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson agrees & compares the AbolishICE campaign to Mexico paying for the wall.
🇺🇸"If Americans don't like ICE's current enforcement polices, the public should demand a change in those policies, or a change in the leaders who promulgate those policies," Johnson wrote.

cnn.com/2018/07/07/pol…
💥Former head of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson also warned Democrats that they are providing Trump with a "useful weapon for bludgeoning Democrats politically."

💥Come on #Democrats. Be reasonable. Listen. Read. Don't react before doing that.
🕸️Please read this article.

⁉️But in all this where the hell is the @DNC?!? Make a statement, for God's sake!!

🇺🇸We need to completely unite the #Democratic party now. There is not much time before the election. There isn't any time for this.

🤣If you don’t take my word for it, maybe you’ll take God’s!

🤣Didn't plan on saying this today...
