Southern Border Patrol SWAT teams are coming to a city near you!

Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit & Newark, N.J. are all being dosed with "elite special forces" to help local ICE agents.

WTAF?
nytimes.com/2020/02/14/us/…
What, exactly, will these CBP SWAT teams help ICE with?

I'm glad you asked!

💥 Run-of-the-mill immigration violation arrests. 💥

That's all.
Wait, what?

Trump is sending 100 CBP ELITE SPECIAL FORCES JACKWAGGONS TO "Sanctuary Cities" to make ORDINARY ARRESTS?

No kicking in doors or knocking down tables?

No drug busts or breaking up crime syndicates?

Just...normal, everyday, regular CIVIL INFRACTIONS?

Yup.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good So...REALLY, the job of the 100 ELITE CBP SPECIAL FORCES BORAT SWAT JACKWAGGON GOONS is to just stand around and look menacing?

That's pathetic.

REALLY pathetic.

Like, "Oh, yeah, well, my dad can beat up your dad" level of pathetic when called out on your shït.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good The effect on immigrant communities will be real, don't get me wrong. This is vindictive and petty, and calculated to intimidate and nothing more.

People who are afraid of being deported if they go to the cops...don't go to the cops. That's why Sanctuary Cities exist.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good Further, these ELITE CBP SWAT GOONSQUADS are used to dealing with

💥drug dealers
💥violent situations
💥the deadly heat of the desert
💥the jacked up world of shoot em ups

where they get to use boy toys like stun grenades & sniper rifles.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good Now they'll be dealing with families.

People are going to get hurt.

Innocent people.

Children.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good Trump wants to see an increase of 35% in arrests in those Sanctuary Cities thanks to these SUPER ELITE CBP GOONY SWATSQUADS.

He's giving them until May.

Surely we can do *something* to get in their way.
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good The medium sized Oregon town where I live is a Sanctuary City...and my house is a Sanctuary House. This sign is on my front porch. Maybe it's time to renew our promises to help those in need.

Will you take the pledge?

@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good Excellent advice from former CBP Agent @BuddJenn on how to prepare for the deployment of CBP SWATSQUADS into Sanctuary Cities.

@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good @BuddJenn Then you should read this thread by @BuddJenn and understand just how jacked up CBP is right now. Just how above the law they see themselves, and wonder...

What are they REALLY doing in our cities?
@carlyinNJ @porpentina2017 @LunaLuvgood2020 @ifindkarma @CaptainResists @B52Malmet @jomareewade @Norberta36 @lfkraus @MTGirl4Good @BuddJenn This @ScottHech thread has some great videos on knowing your rights should ICE & ELITE CBP SWATTIFIED GOONSQUADS show up at your door or try to arrest you.

Fücking Democrats are eating our own just like fücking 2016 and we're gonna get four more years of the worst monster to ever set foot in the white house because WHAT? Someone SAID something another person doesn't like?

JESUS FÜCKING CHRIST, GET OVER YOURSELVES.
I swear to all that's holy, if we end up with another four years of horror bc y'all shred each other to pieces over perceived imperfections and grade school spats, I will fucking LOSE IT.

There are ACTUAL PEOPLES' LIVES AT STAKE HERE.

Real people will REALLY DIE if trump wins.
Not just Kurdish allies, but them, too.

Not just airliner passengers as collateral damage, but them, too.

Not just children in #concentrationcamps, but them, too.

Not just victims of hate crimes, but them, too.

Not just those who lose health insurance, but them, too.

RT from 2017 you might find interesting:
As Turkey Day winds down this year, let me lay some Indigenous Peoples history on you that you may have never heard, only tangentially related to the tradition of big, harvest feasts.

I lived in Plymouth, Massachusetts for about 15 years.
During the summer between high school and college I worked at Plimoth Plantation, at the Wampanoag Indian Program. Now this was 30 years ago, and the program there has changed, to be sure, but one element I was instructed on to the point I could give 30 minute lectures on was...
the Tragic Case of Tisquantum, more colloquially known as Squanto. All the information I learned came from primary sources where available, from the Plantation archives and from research done by Nanepashemet, who was my teacher.

The specially trained officers are being sent to cities including
Chicago and
New York to boost the enforcement power of local Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, according to two officials who are familiar with the secret operation.
yahoo.com/news/border-pa…
Additional agents are expected to be sent to
San Francisco;
Los Angeles,
Atlanta,
Houston,
Boston,
New Orleans,
Detroit and
Newark, New Jersey.
I mean those are all ports of entry

Also, if it’s a secret operation then why did it get leaked.

Smells like a trap

“America’s cities are being bought up, bit by bit, by anonymous shell companies using piles of cash. Modest single-family homes, owned for generations by families, now are held by corporate vehicles with names that appear to be little more than jumbles of letters and punctuation
– such as SC-TUSCA LLC, CNS1975 LLC – registered to law offices and post office boxes miles away. New glittering towers filled with owned but empty condos look down over our cities, as residents below struggle to find any available housing.
