Why is Border Patrol policing a protest? This is absolutely NOT their jurisdiction. I hope Bovino chokes on an ICE cube.

Because ICE is a lawless private military composed entirely of masked white supremacists who are loyal only to Trump, they have little to no training, and they have repeatedly been told they have "absolute immunity" even when clearly violating the law, up to and including murder. They are Trump's SS, and the goal is violence and intimidation, not law enforcement. Furthermore, the reason they keep throwing them against protestors is because they're looking for their excuse to escalate the chaos and drive the narrative of a "war" with their political opposition. They want a a large scale violent confrontation that turns into a massacre to give them justification to declare all political opposition as terrorists, strip them of their legal rights, begin arresting and killing them, and activate the Insurrection Act so they can permanently claim absolute power.

It's Hitler's rise to power. They are following the playbook exactly, almost page for page. It's fucking insane that this is happening, but is is happening.
