We collectively have to stop using term like "immigration crackdown" - when the primary function of these brownshirts is fascist and racist end goals. They are being directed to intimidate populations. They are being directed to ignore constitutional protections. They are violently coercing civilian populations - making them a REAL terrorist group and a public threat. Using the language that keeps the less savvy people from seeing the truth of the actions ONLY serves to aid and abet the criminal and illegitimate group funding and ordering these activities upon citizen populations.

RESIST. EDUCATE. ORGANIZE.

Exactly. If this was about immigration, they'd be out in force in Texas or Florida, which have immigrant populations 10-20x what a state like Minnesota has...

Incorrect. They are, in fact, grabbing people off the street in Florida.

In force

Was a key modifier in that sentence.
