"Federal agents abduct people and ask questions later; if your skin is not White, you are presumed guilty until proven otherwise. ...

In nearly all immigrant and Black and Latino neighborhoods, there are multiple attempted armed abductions of residents every day. (Such events also happen, albeit less frequently, in more economically privileged neighborhoods: Housecleaners, construction workers, etc. are the targets in those cases.)"

"People at risk of abduction are now understandably unwilling to leave home ─ meaning they can’t go to their jobs, and they can’t shop for food and other necessities. Affected kids don’t get meals at school. Local communities are organizing to feed hundreds … thousands? … of terrified families who are hiding from our federal government. Nearly everyone in these families is a U.S. citizen or otherwise legally in the United States."

Don Moynihan writes,

"This piece comes someone living and working in Minneapolis, which is experiencing a de facto military occupation right now. They wish to remain anonymous out of concern that their government might retaliate against them for reporting on what life is like there now."

The whole essay is worth reading in full. Here's an excerpt:

"This is no longer immigration action. This is state-sponsored terrorism. It is state-sponsored terrorism. It is a campaign of brutality. ... I don't think any city in America or any state has ever seen this type of lawless behavior by federal law enforcement."

“'Abolish ICE' is no longer just a far-left slogan. God knows why Americans reelected Trump — but they clearly didn’t envision masked goons knocking down doors and disappearing people."

"Let’s go for the gold and disband the Department of Homeland Security. Spread its functions around the rest of the federal law-enforcement apparatus. And put Kristi Noem out of work. ...

The DHS is an extraneous agency, born out of tragedy and political opportunism."

"Trump and his enablers have made a grievous miscalculation about the level of support for their dictatorial tactics. A strong majority of Americans oppose what ICE is doing and how it is conducting its operations."

"Trump’s ability to bend reality to his will is the foundation of his political success. It’s how he has survived so many moments that would have ended other politicians’ careers.

But it is not working this time.

In what may be the most high-profile failure of the Trump media machine, the American people are not falling for Trump’s lies [about Renee Good's murder].'

"Ultimately it comes down to the Republican Party, the MAGA base they’ve radicalized, right wing media, and the oligarchs financing it all. They are the real problem. If Trump disappeared tomorrow, they’d be looking for someone else to carry out their fascist agenda."

"Now they have turned the eye of Sauron even on white women, because these white women are like, I'm going to use my privilege to speak back to the police like Renee Nicole Good did. And they're like, OK, we'll shoot you in the face in order to shut white America down. That's what it feels like to me. They want white America to know if you side with these brown and black immigrants, we're coming for you, too."

"Yeah, no, no, I'm not down with you grabbing the guy who works with me at the restaurant and out of the kitchen and dragging him out or dragging him out of Home Depot. I think they've been surprised at the pushback they're getting from people they presume should be with them should be also fearful of Somali immigrants and fearful of brown people. And they're like, yeah, no, I'm not down with it."

"I think that they've been shocked that in Minneapolis and in other places in Minnesota and in Chicago and other places, the people they just assume are with them, white Americans, a lot of them are like, yeah, no, you can't arrest my neighbor."

"When ICE is on the rampage, crowds of brave Americans, summoned by texts and whistles, quickly gather to stand against the masked men with guns. As the outrage grows, people of common decency — like the federal prosecutors in Minnesota who chose to resign rather than pervert justice by going after Renee Nicole Good’s wife — are taking a stand.

So what’s happening now is both horrifying and inspiring."
