This is from People Powered United by Laurie Woodard Garcia on substack title “ It’s time to unmask the fear and protect the people”
From her article
“This lack of transparency isn't hypothetical—it has real-world consequences. Senators Warner and Kaine have raised the alarm that criminals are now impersonating masked ICE agents to commit acts of theft, assault, kidnapping, and even sexual violence. "Criminals are taking advantage of ICE's anonymity and impersonating law enforcement officers," they wrote, "resulting in several criminal acts" (Newsweek).” Scary Times
There’s more Co’s online like Amazon sell police gear and sirens. 1500 domestic terrorists pardoned on day 1. Neo Nazi’s wear masks, have a compound in Michigan under 1st amendment. I posted that article. Congress will be out all of July, Senate don’t know yet
Thank you so much for sharing this, Joan...it’s powerful...and honestly...it’s terrifying.
The lack of transparency is more than just a policy issue...it’s creating real danger on the ground, and Laurie’s piece highlights that in such a direct way.
The fact that criminals are now using this anonymity to assault...rob...and kidnap people under the cover of "law enforcement" is absolutely chilling. And you're right...the easy access to police gear...sirens...and the emboldening of domestic terrorists only makes this more volatile.
It’s a dangerous mix: pardoned extremists...masked neo-Nazis...a Congress about to go on recess, and leadership dragging their feet.
We are living in incredibly precarious times...and your vigilance is so appreciated. Thank you for staying sharp...staying active...and for sharing this with me. You stay safe, too...we need each other in this fight.
Yes, it is pls read the latest terrifying I just reposted “Breaking: Trumps latest power grab, election reform, It’s Here. “ by Lev Parnas/Truth. Thoughts?
Once again we, the rank and file, scream: “WHERE THE HELL IS THE DEMOCRAT’S LEADERSHIP?”!!!!! They should be screaming from the rooftops, filling lawsuits against masked police, be on every MSM, podcasts etc everyday railing against this stuff. All all we hear is 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
Jack, did you ever read Thom Hartmann's "letters from detention"? There are two posts, I believe. They're chilling, describing a future state where this administration has moved on from immigrants and started rounding up voices of dissent. You tell us not to worry, and I appreciate that (as someone prone to anxiety), but this is something that's been on my radar for a while now.
I'm concerned. Yet I don't know what I can do or control in this situation. ICE isn't in my community yet. It IS in the communities where my colleagues work, but that's far from me--a coast away.
The most life-chaging thing I've done to act on my concern and act within my locus of control has been to move back to my climate-safe home town and give up my life in NYC because I believe my great-grandchildren will need the acreage we have here. So that's me acting in concern about climate change, but I don't know what to do NOW.

No words.

You tell us not to worry, and I appreciate that (as someone prone to anxiety), but this is something that's been on my radar for a while now.
The masks, the lack of warrants, the unmarked cars, and...as someone else noticed (here: https://noelcasler.substack.com/p/macarthur-park?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=e1i9b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email)...the unlikely footwear of the ICE agents implies an untrained militia-type force drawn from over-eager MAGA masculine types.
I'm concerned. Yet I don't know what I can do or control in this situation. ICE isn't in my community yet. It IS in the communities where my colleagues work, but that's far from me--a coast away.
