Public opinion on the expansion of ICE operations is starkly divided, reflecting conflicting views on immigration and law enforcement. While some commenters express strong support for tighter immigration enforcement as a necessary response to rising crime, a significant portion of the public raises concerns about civil rights violations and the militarization of communities, viewing the expansion as politically motivated and aggressive.

The thing is, even if you LOVED the idea of deportation, this isn’t even an effective way to deport people. It’s just a show of force and nothing more

They stay at the extended stay hotels at 181st/Airport Way.

This was always the plan. trump wants to stay in power. It's not even a question now. This is DC and it's a legit photo..

In addition to the usual protest we should:

a) locate the hotels they stay at and make it impossible to sleep. This worked really well in LA

b) make it known far and wide if you sell as much as a stick of gum to these fascists you will never sell anything ever again in this city.

1). Anti-regime protests will soon 'ramp up' in Portland. 

2). It's kinda hilarious that Portland is apparently one of the 4 majors cities in the country.

I've been trying to scream about this since LA, but every sub in the state is all like, "it's not Oregon related neeeweesss."      

Anyhow the current list of target cities:      
LA  - already occupied over 30 days             
DC. - have you seen this shit?            
Chi Town. - Trump's you're next.            
NYC. - Why aren't they next?             
San Fran. - official statement made          
Baltimore. - official statement            
Oakland. - official statement            
Seattle. - Jr's unofficial target.        
And us.. - we all knew it. We are always on the list.

Is there an app to real time track ICE operations? Not joking at all. If there isn't, I'm a backend (LAMP) developer and would be willing to work on one. I feel it could be a real benefit.

snoogazi

I think Dickhead Donald wants to get revenge because Portland made him look bad during the BLM protests.

I don't think he is above staging a false flag event here in Portland so he can ramp up the wannabe dictator BS.

I think things are going to get bad.

I wish I knew what to do?

Anything that would help stop this shit.

What can we do?

We are like the whitest city in the country. They are evil and dumb. Like fishing with dynamite in the desert.

I'm not downplaying the severity of this, but let's be real... The orange turd isn't after numbers, he just hates us and is trying to start shit.

Edit: evidently I wasn't clear enough in my meaning. YES of course our immigrant communities should be worried, we all should be (yes even you maga idiots who voted for this, they don't care about you either.) That is the point. If this was just about deportation numbers, Portland doesn't make sense as a target. But it isn't just about that, it's about US as a city and our immigrant community is just an excuse target for them to come in here and start shit. Stand with each other, and get ready to push back. Talk with your friends in the National Guard (I know you have at least one if you really think about it) cause we are all in this right now. The NG isn't ICE and it's going to come down to them doing what is right, with us.

guitarokx

I haven’t worn a gas mask since being off active duty but I suppose it’s time to get one. Any recommendations?

I still have body armor and a few other trinkets that might come in handy.

timhowardsbeard

I think we should go stand guard in front of his guards…politely enough but anyway. lol

Both_Blueberry5176

ICE now has its own PR department that follows them around making propaganda BS for the media.

I am sure they are going to be trying to show how horrible Portland is and that the federal troops are the heros rescuing the real Americans.

Good luck. I lived there for years, those people don't f**k around. It wasn't that long ago they broke a police department by fist-fighting platoons of riot cops in the streets. It was really something, I'm not gonna lie

One thing I will never understand is the "Latinos for Trump" movement that started in 2016. Now that the orange shit-stain is back, ICE has seriously increased targeting and profiling Latinos. Many street arrests have included Hispanic US citizens with no criminal records or removal orders. Perhaps now the "Latinos for Trump" bunch is beginning to fully understand the consequences of their support for a racist and xenophobic sociopath.

They need to get more crying liberal footage for Fox News to build their narrative. They practiced disappearing folks into vans during Covid and nobody minded because they were white liberals. Good luck folks

Number1dad

Will ICE be picking up the trash in the streets like the National Guard did in DC? That would be really helpful. Rounding up illegals really isn’t  necessary since most of them are working and fulfilling a necessary function. Such hypocrisy not to admit we’ve been using undocumented workers for decades to do essential jobs that Americans don’t want to do. I guess we’ll learn soon enough how important they were.

They are not “removing undocumented immigrants.” They are disappearing people and getting rid of fundamental rights. 

they want us to believe people working here paying taxes are somehow criminal even though they commit less crime on average ( https://www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1237103158/immigrants-are-less-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-us-born-americans-studies-find ) 

they want the population to feel intimidated so we dont rise up and protest their bullshit clown regime

resist. even small acts if defiance matter!

dont give in to anything out of fear or anticipation. make them force everything every step of the way or we will be some eastern european satellite state

Just one year ago, she ranted that if Joe Biden federalized the National Guard to protect the border, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.

Gotta get that nut, no matter how many native Americans, slightly tanned people or trump supporters with green cards they have to deport to Somalia. 

All joking aside, I am surprised that he hasn’t made a deal with Russia to deport people there that somehow end up on the front lines of Ukraine.

So fewer day laborers, dishwashers, housecleaners and landscapers. But still plenty of gang members and violent criminals.

bigredthesnorer

I think it was Philly's AG who just said if they come uninvited and violate their sovereignty he's going to look at arresting the federal agents. That is how this needs to be played. She's talking about "liberating" these people against their will. That is tyranny in so few words. The states and cities, under amendment 10 of the Constitution should be able to defend themselves in such ways.

J-the-Kidder

I saw a video of people locking ICE in their base with chain and locks, that was quite funny. Do more of that!

These clowns stumbling on their grid welded would be super fun to watch.

Immigration enforcement is just a red herring. This is an operation to militarize the country in stark violation of the Constitution. This is the beginning of the total takeover of nation, the end of the republic, and the imposition of tyrannical rule. We are all in grave danger.

They will go after blue cities in red states, with custom Raptor pickups and Blackhawk helicopters and whatever other toys can be had with their $160 billion budget. 

They have more money to spend on military hardware than most countries, and plan to use it all against gardeners and field workers, and women and children in courtrooms. 6 guys standing around while one of them zip ties a 60 year-old woman selling tamales, as if they're about the be attacked from all sides by commandos when really they're in a fucking Home Depot parking lot in America. They're armed and equipped as if they're going into open combat with a near-peer military force, not unarmed civilians just doing their jobs, and dropping their kids off at school.

It's incredible that there are people supporting this madness, people who until a few years ago I would've said were "just like me" or some other nonsense that clearly underestimated the hatred and cruelty embedded in the hearts of so many of my countrymen.

Have the military pick up the trash in those cities when you deploy them unnecessarily, too, fuckwits.

States should increase their earned income tax on ICE agents to 80-90%. And their signing bonus should be taxed at 100%. Fuck these modern day slave catchers/brown coats. No one should profit from human suffering like this.

They are soon gonna get it. Guerrillas in the streets, insurrection, civil war. You don't send troops on your own people unless they ask for help. The huge majority of people living in these cities don't want Trump's goons in their streets.

PostMaster-P

I think this will eventually backfire and be this administration's undoing.  They are planting the seeds thinking they can manage the fruits of their labor, but as the anti-sentiment grows, more and more national guard and ICE will start to see how stupid the things they are being asked to do are and they will begin to sympathize with the people in the places they are being sent.  Some will side with the people and convince others of the same.  A tipping point will finally be reached caused by the administration taking action against its own for not following orders and that will cause more push back.  At least, I hope.

“States with the strictest gun laws include California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Maryland.”

Until they come to Texas, which I hope they don’t, then all of this is obviously for show. It’s hate and fear mongering. They KNOW everything they are doing is unlawful and they KNOW there’s still states the honor the 2nd amendment on some cult type shit and Texas is the poster child for it.

You mean great fearless leader?  See this is how trump installs a fascist government.  "For your good" it's all bullshit. How many crimes are happening in mansions or board rooms? That's where the real crime is.

Obey the law while you are there. Trump can't pardon state and local charges.

PistolCowboy

How many criminals is ICE hiring? Seems like it’s a perfect opportunity for individuals with anger issues to express themselves. The excessive force I witness daily by some of the agents should not be allowed. But, then again, is anything normal, sane, humane… anymore

Because North Dakota officials actually charge criminals instead of releasing them. ND also cooperates with ICE agents to get take the criminal illegals from the jails so they do not have to go into the community.

mrhymer

JohnnyHekking

Firstly, that premise is false. They ARE raiding agricultural central-points. More on that at the end.

But it appears the initial wave of operations is highly focusing on picking up illegals who also cross-reference as criminals, (rapists, human-traffickers, violent abusers, drug dealers, gang members, murderers, etc.).

Democrat cities are ripe pickings for such, not the least of which because these criminal degenerates know that Democrats en masse will spare no expense to protect them.

Back to regarding raids on agricultural industry, a simple search showed this example:

&gt; Thus far, the majority of the arrests and incoming reports of ICE-related activities are centered around the La Colonia neighborhood in Oxnard, which, the coordinator noted, is a neighborhood **where the majority of the residents are migrant farmworkers.**
