Border czar says ICE may not leave airports once TSA officers are paid

Autocracy*

> are we ever getting a straight answer Why should they ever give a straight answer if our media nevers asks them for one and just unquestioningly regurgitates whatever lies they say.

But what can ice do at airports? By definition anyone entering the country passed customs and is here on a tourist visa at least. No one illegal in need of deportation is at the airport unless they are already leaving. But hey, more ice in airports is less in the streets and polling places.

They absolutely mean they don't intend to leave. It's not ambigous. Whenever they say "Maybe I will, maybe I won't." It always code for meaning they absolutely are planning to and will do the shitty thing. Always.

Gaslighting mixed with double binding communication is the Nazi way.

We're right on schedule. The Nazis began controlling movement in Germany immediately upon taking power in January 1933, rapidly escalating to a comprehensive police state within months. By suspending civil rights in February 1933 and implementing targeted restrictions against Jews and political opponents, the regime began restricting both internal and external mobility, solidifying this control by 1934. 

Abusive people are always trying to create a haze of ambiguity. It’s strategic to exhaust people and dis regulate (sp?) their nervous systems with always having to be hyper-vigilant to prepare for what’s next.

Hard to give a straight answer when the person in charge is open to bribes/flattery and has the attention span of a two year old with an iPad.

I choose to send them to the front lines in Iran

Well clearly he means….

It’s a great way to fire ICE agents too. If you’re stuck in the airport, you’re definitely not meeting your detention quota, which means you get fired, which means you don’t get that sign-on bonus you were promised. Then they’ll just hire a new group to replace the fired ones and on and on…

I think if he were given a second bag of 50k with a dollar sign painted on it they would leave for certain

Yeah. I would wait until Trump’s out of office first. 

As if that will make a difference.

I’d imagine the opposite is going to happen, someone “assaults” ice which makes them want to put MORE thugs out there with stricter protocols. At some point airports just became a Nazi checkpoint, and one piece of them integrating into our every day lives and into critical infrastructures. Nothings gonna happen either cuz we’re thinking someone else is gonna save us from this, or walking the streets will do anything. Nothing stops until they are **stopped** but no regular/rational person would even consider doing that. They’ll have their way for the next 3 years unless nature takes over, or a country stops us or something beyond our constitution/outside of the rules/law happens. But nah, let’s just wait 3 more years to vote and be civil and play by the rules when they never have from the start. It’s a lose-lose-win situation where we won’t see the outcome if we “win” cuz that’s potentially our life/livelihood/routine being over

If you look at all the maskless ICE agents they are plastering around you may notice a pattern. The demasking is not in good faith

The unmasked are the pipsqweak loser kids still living at home.

And no airport is run by the federal government. They're all owned and operated by local governments.

Pretty soon that won’t even matter! Nazi SS didn’t wear masks…

Clarence Thomas made very clear that this is not a BRIBE, it is a GRATUITY.

Police State 

I’m glad someone said it.

So the TSA shutdown was planned, and they were just pawns in the power creep of authoritarianism

Why do they hold on to their overloaded vests with both hands like OG badass butch lesbians in overalls?

It is just the beginning and it is permanent.

I am looking forward to see how the American infrasture and agencies handles thousands of "foreigners who don't speak our language".

The coup already happened.

The guy looks like he is constructed from mashed potatoes so, yeah

He looks like he’s paranoid people are thinking he spends a portion of his day listening to footage of immigrants in hold urinating. Maybe while counting bribes?

More like a sontaran. 

And until the Cava bag is delivered.

Starts?
