Can i ask just three questions?

Who has the authority to force ALL Ice PERSONAL names for the public record. What can a citizen do to protect themselves in their state? Where can a person in whatever state they are citizen of get this information?

This bullshit has to stop. A person has the right to protect their family against masked kidnappers. I swear it could come to shooting these bastards in self defense.

They have no badges, no uniforms, no identifying insignias, no warrants. When asked, they refuse to identify themselves or if they are from a government agency. They have violently assaulted and disappeared individuals at schools, hospitals, churches, workplaces, homes.

This is a recipe for disaster.

I am not particularly worried for myself - my citizenship goes back multiple generations on both sides of the family, and I'm white.

But I am worried about my adopted Afghan nephew and niece and their newborn child. I am worried about my professor's brown son who looks hispanic. I am worried about my high school sweetheart whose gender is not the same as her birthdate, and countless others.

If I, with my privilege, don't start caring and challenging, they will be gone (or, as to my high school sweetheart, confined to the US because her passport will be stripped from her).

And those of us with privilege need to be challenging ICE on behalf of those at risk because they lack that privilege.

Most people who assert they are not afraid of ICE are doing so from a position of privilege - one in which any fear is unrealistic.

I think fear of a real threat is generally a healthy thing, since it can be used to provide a measure of protection.

I’m not saying you don’t. I’m not inferring that from your post.

The message is intimidation. Broadcast so everyone gets the message. Cop cars look like cop cars for a reason - to keep them in people’s mind.

If they come after me, we’re in some serious sh!t.

Mind you, you’ve got DU on your phone. They’ve snatched up phones from scientists traveling and supposedly random people - they found what they were looking for on their phones. If you or I get pulled aside in whatever and they have the ability to search through our phones, DU is bound to be on the crossmatch list. Not over inflating DU nor being paranoid, just presenting a scenario.

I wasn't far from the old Slovenian neighborhood. I met (and played music) with Frankie a few times, although he was living in Euclid at the time. He was a well known kleptomaniac actually.

I was from 79th street between St. Clair and Superior. Very, very bad neighborhood when I grew up there, and still is. I was a northwest side Chicagoan.

I shot pool at Buckeye Billiards on W. 117th off Lorain back in the 80s.

An old friend used to live in Hinsdale. Nice area.

I went to 10th grade high school on Detroit, although the school has now moved. Max S. Hayes. I remember the old Cleveland Trust downtown location. I think it was around the Old Stone Church.

I liked Hinsdale when I would visit my buddy.

Is it a combination of Ice and Erik Prince Mercenaries and who can tell me the truth. How can Alina Habba arrest Mayor. How can A Right Wing FBi arrest a sitting judge. This needs to stop now!

To answer your question, we don’t know. Prince’s goons could be deputized I’d guess.

This is really disturbing.
