Ice agents are probably just Trump's proud boys that's why they wear mask. No law enforcement wears mask! That's why he wants an all white military so he can release them on the black community. 🤷🏾‍♀️

This is what hunters of enslaved people did before Emancipation with full sanction, immunity, and payment authorization from the US government. This is history repeating itself.

God's anger will very soon turn to wrath, and the wicked will have their day, this what i just witnessed horrified me, these ice agents are ruthless and uncaring, their behavior is just despicable, i feel very bad for all who was affected by these cruel, heartless and wicked people.
