Osman said armed ICE agents went to East African restaurants in the neighborhood Tuesday, closed the doors and demanded people’s IDs. They found only U.S. citizens and made no arrests, Osman said.

In short, they’re harassing people based on what kind of cuisine they have a hankering for

    MAGAts plans are being ruined because nobody is taking the bait and becoming violent.

    They just have to keep upping their level of violence.

    They are desperate to cancel the 2026 midterm elections.

    What are their names and badge numbers?

    Otherwise they are just dangerous criminals impersonating law enforcement and people have the right to defend themselves with force.

    “Chemical Irritant” - I’m guessing CS or tear gas. Scanned the article and didn’t see it specified. Strange way to state things.

    Note that use of CS and similar are banned under the Geneva Convention between armies. Used against civilians all the time by many governments.

      TIL: CS gas was invented after the Geneva Conventions that preempted its use in war.

      Britain & Japan also helped justify its use in the US in 2002:

      As recently as 2002, the U.S. State Department Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation made a firm distinction between “riot-control agents” such as CS gas, and “lethal chemical weapons.” The Bureau cited support for this position from the U.K. and Japan.[10]

        Oh it’s this piece of paper that everyone talks about when we talk about guns and speech but apparently only the first two matter.

      With respect to immigration it was suspended decades ago, unfortunately. Courts have long ruled our rights are subject to revocation as soon as the government has a “compelling interest.” Which, apparently, this legalized ethnic cleansing is considered.
