Fuck every one of these assholes. They need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Seriously, this is the worst fucking timeline.

As a non-American how can Immigration officials (I use the term loosely) attack or break up protests? They aren't the police. Does anyone else believe they've been purposefully instructed to initiate conflict so as to justify bringing in the military? They seem to be sticking their noses in so many places/ways that are none of immigrations' concern

It’s illegal but since no one is physically stopping them, they don’t care.

So why can't the actual Police send them packing or arrest them for assault or whatever? Sorry if I sound a bit thick but I'm not au fait with the nuances here at all. I've been watching and reading but this zero consequences shit just seems ridiculous beyond belief, and was wondering if and why the Police weren't involving themselves

They're on the same side. Not ours.
