ICE officers in Minnesota were directed on Wednesday to avoid engaging with “agitators” as they carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, according to internal guidance reviewed by Reuters. The new guidance, offering the most detailed look so far at how operations would change after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens protesting in Minneapolis, also orders U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers only to target immigrants who have criminal charges or convictions.

    By “agitators” do you mean people driving in their own streets, buying groceries in their own neighborhoods, people helping other people, and anyone who so much as looks at the fascist private soldiers? By “protesters” do you mean people standing on their own lawns who are nowhere near a protest?

    They’re not gonna be able to handle this

    But they are going to feel betrayed now that they don’t have 100% backing, and trump is going to lose fucking ICE… It’ll feedback loop and keep getting worse because Trump hates anyone who doesn’t 100% support him either.

      Yeah, this is another division that could be taken advantage of.

      Unfortunately, it’s tough to really communicate with right wingers because they are so cut off from reality and just consume Fox, Newsmax, Joe Rogan, etc.

    Haitian protected status in Springfield OH ends on Feb 3. ICE is simply preparing to shift operations over to there. Rest assured, the domestic terror campaign will continue unabated if the Trump regime has anything to say about it.

    Only the agents in Minnesota?

    only to target immigrants who have criminal charges or convictions.

    Really curious who they were previously told to target. I’d like to see the wording on those orders.
