Bloomberg News asked Daniel Immerwahr for his top five books for understanding Trump’s dreams of empire: #1-3

I spoke to sociology professor Julian Go about the imperial boomerang and how US war tactics abroad are now being employed at home by ICE. huffpost.com/entry/imperial…

Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses. cc: @CatoInstitute

Don't forget that this whole murderous ICE campaign has been launched because our leaders have decided that the source of America's problems are presumably criminal undocumented immigrants requiring billions of dollars of militarized force to repel. Ridiculous.

@ChrisOn50570948 @SStricklandMMA and what about the J6ers? Or rittenhouse?

Pretti went out looking for a confrontation with ICE & Border Patrol with a loaded gun. The 2nd amendment isn't a permission slip to carry a gun and be stupid. If you are gonna carry a gun don't be stupid, you will live longer. If Pretti followed this advice he'd be alive today

I dont think Pretti should of been shot But if you carry and react the way he did you will get shot 100 percent of the time. Cops get drawn on all the time. I know this and I keep my hands far away from my holster.. This is CCW 101 The 2A is a right and also a responsibility

To all you "real" Americans saying immigrants are criminal: learn about the American legal system which you supposedly care so much about. Undocumented immigrants are NOT criminals. Undocumented migration is a CIVIL offense, not a criminal one. Smh

@OfTheBraveUSA Smh at the replies rehashing the government line “it’s Bidens fault because he didn’t stop immigration!” idiotic. There are smarter, less lethal, less costly & more civilized ways to deal with immigration. You don’t need masked armed men chasing teens, old ladies & citizens

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

I'm looking forward to returning to the University of Glasgow to deliver the 2nd Annual Racial Justice Lecture. It’s great that @UofGlasgow is open to discussions of racial justice when in the US it has become a taboo topic.

This was written in 2014.

MAGA aren’t against immigrants. They have immigrant wives. They are against immigrants whom they can’t control & dominate.

@Suzierizzo1 ICE can enter ‘public’ areas of a business but not private areas those are employees only

@Suzierizzo1 smh all the foreign bots on here saying this is ‘obstruction of justice’, or the guard should be arrested etc.. They have no understanding of the US legal system much less the US constitution. you can’t just walk into private property like that. Obvs they are bots. Or uninformed

ICE agents showed up at a McDonalds without a warrant or the name of anyone they’re looking for so the Security Guard tells them to leave if they can’t Produce a warrant.They kept trying to gain entry to the staff so he locked the door & called the owner! He Deserves a raise! 👇

2/4 At most, they could just have 1 or 2 unarmed agents who ask for papers. That would still reek of the Gestapo, but it would make more sense than sending a costly militarized unit of cosplay bros who can kill

The video of Renee Good’s killing is America’s political Rorschach test and the differences in interpretation tell me that America kinda sucks right now

I think there’s a very strong case that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at all. If they encounter a situation that is potentially violent, they should simply retreat, and call local police to handle it.

ICE relies on private companies to help carry out its thuggery — we need to go after these corporate collaborators Here's a list of low-lift national targets, mostly public-facing companies with relatively small ICE contracts that are set to expire soon, making them particularly vulnerable to consumer and employee pressure: Dell ($18.8 million contract with ICE for Microsoft software licenses, expiring March 2026) UPS ($90,500 small package delivery contract with ICE, expiring March 2026) FedEx ($1 million delivery services contract with ICE, expiring March 2026) Motorola Solutions ($15.6 million tactical communication infrastructure contract with ICE, expiring May 2026) Comcast ($24,600 internet services contract for ICE Seattle office, expiring May 2026 — this could be a great fight for new mayor Katie Wilson to take on). AT&T ($83 million IT and network contract with ICE, with a potential end date of July 2032). LexisNexis ($21 million data-brokerage contract with ICE — this company is particularly vulnerable to pressure from university students and professor unions, since much of its revenue comes from colleges.) Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.

ICE shooting comes after bombshell probe finds new recruits 'can barely read or write' rawstory.com/ice-shooting-2…

Maybe I’m too much of a European, but I honestly can’t understand how so many Americans find it perfectly natural to be shot in the head on the spot for the slightest act of disobedience toward any sort of law enforcement. You might wanna revisit that "land of the free" thing.

John Miller: If you're confronted by a moving vehicle that could be a threat to you, get out of the way. I'm reading to you from DHS policy; 'DHS law enforcement officers are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle or other conveyance.'
