    ICE is obviously a secret police force. This was already clear when the regime (with extensive support from the Democrats btw) approved a budget for this “agency” that exceeds the military spending of medium-sized countries.

    What is so difficult to understand about this? The economic elite in the US, which has been ruling the country de facto for ages, now wants to transition to a more Russian-style system (open autocracy with corresponding repressive measures), and ICE is ideally suited to make undesirable dissidents disappear.

    I think everyone has been aware of this since around February 2025, except apparently the US citizens, who, despite all the absurdity, still cling to the illusion that the US is a constitutional state or even a democracy - which has not been the case for at least 30 years.

      Yep. And it is this delusion that allows US citizens to be subjugated so completely to Putin’s 84th subject.

      So long as they continue to believe it, they’ll allow ICE to abduct anyone they want in their Blue “state.”
