      I 100% believe that a big reason they’re so adamant about the masks is because they pulled from a bunch of those white supremacist militias to pad out their numbers. Illegal to them is absolutely just “not white enough” or “not speaking enough English” for them.

        nah they’d deport white immigrants (me), ethnic native Americans, melanated American-born citizens and even white Christian Americans born in California or New York who vote democrat in a heartbeat.

          They absolutely would if they could. But again, this woman at the time was basically in Chudwife camo. She’s Lily White, Midwestern, and at the time was dressed like a Suburban Karen. Hairstyle included because we didn’t have the time to keep up the undercut she usually keeps that makes her look more like a Butch Lesbian than a Suburban Karen.

          So unless you looked at her and were brain broken by transvestigation like sometimes happens when she goes into public restrooms there’s no way you’d look at her and think “She votes Democrat” even where we live. Plus if they were gonna try that song and dance they would have pulled her over any time while she was trying to evade them. Or even just grabbing her immediately outside of the blood draw clinic they were waiting outside of and followed her as she left.

          Which leads me to believe that they were looking for a secluded area to pull her over and threaten to arrest her unless they get something out of it.

        And also because they know they will be held accountable for their crimes. Document anything and everything you see in person.

          Yeah, all we personally have is some contemporaneous notes for the time an ICE vehicle stalked my partner as she left a blood draw appointment. She tried to lose them for a few blocks then took them through a Walgreens drive thru to pick up meds hoping they were waiting to try anything until she was more isolated. Luckily the one we were at has a high traffic street it lets out onto so she lost them coming out of the drive thru. But like, she is Lily White Midwestern and we live in Western NY. Not a chance they “thought she was illegal” they were 1,000% on some nefarious shit.

          Unfortunately we found out from that incident our dash cam was malfunctioning, so no video evidence of them stalking her on our end. I’m sure several of the pharmacists remember her little “Fuck ICE” song though lmao. We have since replaced our dash cam and invested in some cameras for our house so we can see if they come around trying to harass any of our refugee (or with the way this bigoted regime has been heading any of our Puerto Rican) neighbors.

      It’s a mistake to say this is because of lack of intelligence rather than targeted malice.
