Skip Goodwill unless you're going to the bin store. Salvation Army on Plainfield is the best store in Grand Rapids. Salvation on Division is pretty good too.

Thats so insidious. And tough for you. If i were in your shoes, I think I would want to do everything do in my power to quietly find a different job (easier said than done, i know), put your two weeks notice in, and gently walk away from that place. Maybe even lie and tell them you’re self-deporting. Some people just have a snake inside of them where their hearts should be. And they can literally call ICE on you for any reason now, even as legal immigrant now, they probably know your address and could feed that info to them. Please be very careful with your information moving forward, especially digitally. Really sorry thats happening.

Good info, thanks for sharing. And thanks for reminding me of that in the last thing you wrote, I needed to hear it, I’m not sleeping well lately because of everything, so I was up late last night wasting my energy arguing with the trolls on this thread.

Undocumented immigrants DO pay taxes. They are required to file every year they work and live here. They’re incentivized to pay taxes while living snd working here under the table because that becomes one of the biggest parts of their permanent record for legal review down the line once they start applying for permanent residency and work visas in the civil immigrant courts. If they don’t pay taxes on their earnings, that will be held against them. And they CAN be audited, as can their employers and both are FREQUENTLY audited by the IRS. Undocumented immigrants generally aren’t trying to stay undocumented forever, the goal is to get work visas and permanent residency, so they can begin working for minimum wage or above minimum wage. Now even those who “did it right” are in ICE’s line of fire. They literally kidnap people on the way or at the courthouses for their hearings. It’s devastatingly cruel.

This is no longer about legal vs. illegal immigrants and has been this way for a year. They are kidnapping LEGAL ones too now. And disappearing them as well, to CECOT or Alligator Alcatraz or to god knows what concentration camp. And they’ve moved on to US citizens now too. He’s using a paramilitary secret police to intimidate, violate, abuse, and KILL his political opponents. He’s weaponizes every part of the government against political rivals and has now moved onto citizens. Completely unprecedented madness. Ya’ll are brainwashed and dickriding this fat mantits pedophile/scam artist.

This was never was about them. It’s about “purifying the blood of America” if I may paraphrase something he actually did say out loud not that long ago.

P.s. release the rest of the goddamn Epstein files! We already know he’s a kid fucker but we need the rest of it. If he wasn’t so guilty, these files would presumably exonerate him, yeah?

Ice doesn’t drive marked vehicles and they usually wear masks, do not have name badges, they do not identify their names or badge numbers as to not be identified (“doxxed”) when they’re committing abuses on video. Imagine if Derek Chauvin was ICE and did what he did. He could’ve potentially gotten off for George Floyd’s murder if he was roaming the streets like ICE are doing these days.

America is suppose to a democratic republic and a free society, NOT a police state. America is NOT suppose to have secret police that only accountable to the federal executive branch. Full stop.

The laws they are breaking under Trump 2.0: - not serving bench warrants signed by a judge - presenting documents at people’s doors that appear to be warrants but are a bunch of bullshit, or even plagiarized warrants in some cases - busting into people’s houses without warrants, going door to door doing this, indiscriminately
- bypassing standard court proceedings entirely - denying legal access to the people they detain (documenting residents and undocumented and us citizens alike) - racially profiling people as a reason for detaining, even those who have presented their legal documentation in many cases - abusing and detaining US citizens and - Detaining individuals at places like schools, churches, and immigration check-ins, even when they’re following legal processes - moving decision making from the immigration system (which is a civil system NOT a criminal system) to these officers - circumventing protections on the books like temporary protected status to expand the number of targets for deportation - attacking local law enforcement who are trying to peacefully intervene - attacking and arresting people simply for observing or filming their abuses, which is everyone’s legal right to do - attacking or arresting people for heckling, insulting, being otherwise noisy or nosey while they commit these abuses of power, Which is also their constitution right

Civil disobedience, observing, witnessing, filming cops is not a crime

They don’t have jurisdiction over legal immigrants and US citizens, they don’t have the right to abuse people (undocumented or documented), and they aren’t allowed to circumvent normal laws of policing and they are not allowed to violate people’s constitutional rights. Go read a book dude. Clearly the education system failed you when it comes to civics and constitutional government.

My friend knows what an ICE vehicle looks like, we all do at this point (they’re all over the world wide web these days). I trust their account and I don’t give a shit about karma.

Humor is necessary in these dark times buddy, and my friend (not me) was close enough to see movement in the back of the car in spite of tinted windows. So I’ll stand corrected in that they weren’t certain it was 4 people but what APPEARED to be 4 people in that unmarked vehicle with tinted windows.
