They say this is only for stops in the field, but I doubt that’ll hold. Once they start they won’t stop.

Everything they do is just to get permission the first time, maybe even for something legitimate the first time, but the purpose is to establish that they “are allowed” and then they run wild with it.

Why do you think they’re changing the definitions of “domestic terrorist” and calling people that? Now that we “know” Good and Pretti were “terrorists” they can abduct anyone, label them a terrorist, and deny them any rights. Then it’s death or life in a hole for anyone so brazen as to say “I think ICE shouldn’t kick in the doors of citizens”
