When masked agents descended on a Chicago suburb, residents disrupted the operation with hollering and blaring car horns

In the quiet village of Mount Prospect, nestled just northwest of Chicago’s city limits, residents were sheltering from the cold and rain on a sleepy Sunday afternoon watching TV, scrolling through social media and enjoying midday coffee at home.

As rain pattered against windows, and trees lining the streets swayed, flurries of urgent texts began ricocheting from one end of the neighborhood to the other, and panic set in as some residents put on their shoes and hurried out the door.

ICE IS HERE,” one text between Mount Prospect neighbors said.

“F**king helicopters. Ice at Owen Park,” read another. “On our way,” one neighbor replied

These ICEholes are all about intimidation, but it would seem that their intimidation tactics are badly backfiring.

There will come a day when these ICEholes and their bosses will face well deserved justice.

Because a shameless coward does not know how to lead or govern followed by spineless eunuchs who have proven beyond any shadow that they have no Love of America. The Republican Party is a cesspool.

but overall, they're not really all that bright. Unfortunately for them, the world is full of people who are smarter and more perceptive than they are. They weren't trained for dealing with such people.

The "radical" will become Prosecute ICE!

Even sad sack Bill Kristol is calling for abolishing it

"ICE has become notorious for its cruelty, abuses of civil liberties & racial profiling...Dems have hesitated to call for its abolition, for fear of seeming 'soft on crime.' But there is a way out: Abolish ICE & give the money to state & local cops."

he's right about abolishing ICE, but wrong about giving the money to state and local police, they have enough toys already, the money should go to helping the homeless, the undernourished, mental health treatments, etc.

I would like to parachute all these wannabe soldier tough guys, wearing military garb, , (ICE, Border Patrol, ETC),......into a war zone if they want to play war games. They are all bully, chicken shits, and would hide and start crying if the other side started shooting back........

but drop them into a hot LZ with people actually shooting back at you and their sphincters would open wide for the shit getting ready to pour out.

Eww, there's a scenario I wouldn't want to see.
