The tactics of the federal force, too, have grown more aggressive and indiscriminate. Armed officers have appeared at schools, daycares, churches and mosques. Masked agents are stopping residents at traffic lights, or on their walk to the grocery store, demanding – at gunpoint – that they prove their citizenship.
The agents are targeting not only undocumented immigrants, but also those with legal immigration status and valid visas, US citizens and tribal citizens. On Tuesday, a group of local law enforcement officers said even their agents were being pulled over, reporting that off-duty police officers of color had been stopped and questioned at gunpoint by the administration’s immigration force.
Dude the cops thought they were all on the same team. Wonder when the first off-duty Hispanic cop is gonna get ICE’d. They already snatched Native Americans I wonder if doing it to a cop will have any impact.
I’m thinking it would go the other way, surely the local police have training to the effect of, if someone points a gun at you, you can shoot them. Eventually that’s going to pop up.
100% right
I wonder how it will all shake out this year, because I definitely expect more escalation before November.
