'Occupy ICE' protests emerge across the country
The Hill ^ | 06/23/18 | Emily Birnbaum

Protestors are occupying Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) facilities across the country, inspired by a Portland protest that resulted in the indefinite shutdown of an ICE detention center on Wednesday.

"Occupy ICE" protestors are blocking the loading deck of ICE headquarters in New York, have set up tents in front of an ICE facility in Los Angeles, and are gathered outside of a detention center in Washington state.

Though the protests are not led by any one group, the Democratic Socialists of America are involved in most states, alongside groups associated with prison abolition, immigration rights and anarchist collectives. The protests are calling for an abolition of ICE and an end to what they call human rights abuses by the criminal justice system, alongside other reforms.

The Portland protest began in response to the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the border, a result of the administration's “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal border crossings.

ICE spokeswoman Carissa Cutrell told The Hill on Wednesday that the agency "fully respects the rights of all people to voice their opinion without interference" and "ICE remains committed to immigration enforcement consistent with federal law and agency policy."

It is chilling the outcome if these people did achieve open borders. While that’s essentially what we have had for decades, a mass wave of immigrants would swamp this nation in less than 2-5 years.

We’re already at the breaking point.

Did you see that they advocate for “prison abolition”?

Freaking unbelievable. Let everybody in from all over the world. Let every incarcerated criminal out.

They sure have a beautiful vision of what the US of A should be.

Gee looks like establishment called their pro Soros sources to start with their nonsense. Problem is, most people do not feel bad for bankers on wall street. Illegals effect average everyday people in a negative way especially in the border towns.

Post over at The_Donald Reddit points out Trump's brilliance.

"He is an absolute genius at forking the left. Two options:

It gets overturned. Trump claims liberal judges don't care about children. Trump wins.

It stands. Trump helps children. Trump wins.

He's a forking genius."

True violence is coming.
When it does come, be prepared to give it back in triplicate.
With a smile.

Antifa is on a roll.

Chasing members of the Trump Administration out of restaurants, making mass demonstrations over false and manufactured issues, diversions and disruptions of the civil decorum, and just generally what appears to be infantile responses to perceived injustices.

But America reaching the braking point? Not even close, just yet.

Anarchists: People who want to get rid of all government and create chaos.

Nihilists: People who want to destroy everything.

the DSA are communists. How long is the USA going to tolerate them and their antics in our midst? Lennon and Chaplin were refused admission to the US for far less.

This ought to be fun, watching antigun leftists trying to interfere with armed (and fearless) ICE agents doing their duty.
