Hours After US Citizen Shot Dead by ICE, JD Vance Says 'Door-to-Door' Operations Are Coming

This is the force that will help him steal the election

Just hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed an unarmed US citizen in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance said the agency would soon be going “door to door” across the country to escalate the Trump administration’s mass deportation crusade in the coming year.

In an interview on Fox News with host Jesse Watters, Vance boasted that during Trump’s first year back in power, the administration had gotten “2.5 million illegal aliens out” of the country, “without any of the really big marquee things that we’ve been working on.”

ICE’s budget is expected to triple in 2026 following the passage of Republican budget legislation last year that has allowed it to launch what it calls a “wartime recruitment” strategy, hiring as many as 10,000 new officers with minimal training. Last week, the Washington Post reported that the agency had earmarked $100 million toward online recruitment advertisements, meant to draw in “people who have attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts, or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear.”

gladly vote to acquit anyone who felt it necessary to protect themselves and their family when unidentified masked, heavily armed men descend on their doorstep sans warrant or accompanying police.

Do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. As I suspect many would feel like me, there may well be an explosion of jury nullifications in future trials.

Nobody should ever open their doors or windows until this is slapped down by the courts (again)

Think they care about being constitutional?

We're talking about nazis here, or the present-day equivalent.

If ICE comes on my property they do so at their own risk. I'm tired of this.
