Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

Tell them to suck your dick and get a warrant, that is what I would do. Unconstitutional douchebags need to learn the constitution one insult at time.

And then they shoot you in the head and it's fine because this is Trump's America.

Doesn't hurt to know your legal rights, but we're also in "put people in a concentration camp" territory now, so they will likely be ignored.

It helps if you google (specifically Google) things immigrants might google. It hides hotspots on the map for search terms.

Specifically, click this and search for a made up name. The goal is not to ddos. This is a useful site that we want to stay up. The goal is privacy. They're not above using this data.

Tell your loved ones that if you are detained by ICE, they can try to use ICE’s online detainee locator to find you: https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search

Next they're going to start marking houses with an X

It’ll all be OK if your papers are in order….

...and other lies the Nazis used to say

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Oh, it’s no lie — but to a nazi, “in order” is pretty subjective.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.

Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.

And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Homan didn't just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he's doing will draw a lot of ire.

He's taking small town good ol' boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that's why conservatives love him.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

The good ol' boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.

Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.

Yet another disgraceful and dark stain in American history books with the fascist pig Homan working hard to ruin peoples’ lives for no reason other than petty cruelty.

Hmmmm those are paper thin plate carriers. Makes you think.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now that I take a closer look, this Patriot Soldier looks a little...husky.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Gravy Seals in a joint strike operation with Meal Team Six.

But honestly that's soft body armor inserts into a plate carrier. It's fasc fashion.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I guess they're really not afraid of taking fire from a 5.56. What a shame.

Are you telling me these tacticool cops aren’t actually operators?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I mean those bump helmets are definitely representative of ICE at large, useless security theater to give fragile white egos an unearned sense of safety.

[–] [email protected] 137 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm....speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.

Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you're happy with your choices.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 days ago (3 children)

hope you're happy

Or better, hope your losing sleep and sick to your stomachs and ready to take action in every available protest, election, boycott, donation, etc.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Unfortunately, they are still in "deny genocide is happening" mode.

Although a handful of them have taken a "America deserves genocide" tack instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pffffft, yeah right. They'll "take action" inasmuch as it saves them a trip to the voting station two blocks away. I'm praying that the people who did that will prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.
