    The fascists are attempting to intimidate all Americans. Is it working? Are most Americans falling into line because they live in fear of the Gestapo?

    Interested to know if the owner of the building, Trinity Flood has had any recent financial interactions with the current administration. The investment firm was recently noted for facing bankruptcy and foreclosure on that property as well as other properties in Chicago and other “blue” cities.

    I heard something about the building now being declared uninhabitable. The land has already been sold for luxury condos. No evictions needed. And ICE got to film the raid for free PR.

    If the MAGA gestapo aren't held responsible for this, then you're giving them a green light to do this anywhere, at any time, to anyone. All they have to do is SAY you're Tren de Aragua.

    Everyone who sees the criminals in the WH for what they are has a target on their back.
