I Have Some Questions for ICE

 

I have some questions for ICE and for the unidentified military geared “militias” who are dragging people out of restaurants, garment factories, homes in the middle of the night and disappearing them. 

 

Where’s the war? Where are the terrorists, drug addicts, rapists, and gang members?

 

Somebody shoot spaghetti at you in that Italian restaurant? Launch a pizza at your armored vehicle?

 

Fit your weapon of war for a sweater at the garment factory? Hit you with a pillow? Throw their diploma and honors medal at you at that high school graduation?

 

Where’s the armed conflict? 

 

How many freeloaders are you finding working jobs in factories, restaurants, and landscaping businesses? They are working honest jobs, which is more than I can say for you.

 

Did the women and children you dragged out of their bed, in their underwear and out into a rainstorm get too wet for you? Cry on your body armor?

 

Are you proud of dragging mothers away and zip-tying their small children? Did they frighten you with their sobs? Are you proud of kidnapping nursing babies whose mothers you’ve stolen whether their name is on a warrant or not? If there even is a warrant?

 

And who are you anyway? Soldiers? Police officers? Sex traffickers? Rapists? Thieves? No one knows with no badges and masks on your faces.

Why are there no white people being arrested? Why isn’t the first lady being arrested? Or her children? She was in this country for five years before applying for citizenship. And she broke up a marriage. Where’s her warrant?

 

Are you proud of shipping people away to other countries without any kind of hearing to make sure you got the identity right? Whether you’re sure they aren’t American citizens? Without contacting their families or lawyers? While ignoring the constitutional rights every person in this country has? Disobeying the constitution you swore to uphold?

 

These are not the actions of police in the United States of America. Or the US military. These are the actions of the Taliban. These are the actions of al Qaeda. These are the actions of the Klan. These are the actions of the Gestapo. These are the actions of the KGB. These are the actions of over-geared, over armored, over-zealous thugs. You have become the extremists that you swore an oath to defend us from.

 

Shame on you.  Deep shame.

 

Are you proud? Would your mothers be proud? Would your grandparents and great-grandparents who fought in WWII and WWI against this very type of fascism be proud? Proud that you are acting on lies from a sadistic and unconstitutional president who is so far off the rails that impeachment is being seriously discussed?

 

Are you and your loved ones proud that you are breaking your solemn vows to uphold the constitution of the United States of America to follow orders from a president who broke his oath – uncountable times?

 

Your oath is not to defend a felonious, deranged president. Your oath is to the Constitution of the United States. And if you didn’t take a police or military oath than you are nothing more than kidnapping, violent thugs, doing the bidding of an unconstitutional president who is himself a felon.

 

Either way, you are breaking the law, not enforcing it. Shame on you.

Deep and lifelong shame.
