    ICE gets new cars

    Which they will proceed to never use because the terror of “oh shit is THAT the black SUV full of Men With Guns” is the fucking point. They’re quite literally turning themselves into the Stasi - they are Anywhere, Anytime, and you will not know they’re ICE until you’re being shoved onto a plane. I wouldn’t be surprised if dozens of white terror cells across the US are using the confusion to mask up, throw a plate carrier on, sling up a rifle, and kidnap minorities to kill/worse because this is basically all but an invitation to do so if you’re a white supremacist terrorist.
