The ICE-American Gestapo are now fairly obviously targeting

grass roots activists whether it is for pro-Palestinian activism, labor organizing, informing immigrants of their rights etc. Here is a video from a couple in Irvine being raided yesterday. Given the size of the operation you would have thought that nuclear secrets and armed gangs inside the home were cooking meth. Turns out it was just a lovely couple with a son who had been doing pro-Palestinian activism and also apparently activism pushing back on the "anonymous" ICE-American Gestapo raids on students, immigrants and others. So instead of rolling up in a single vehicle and knocking on the door and asking to speak to the son the ICE-American Gestapo goons hauled out hundreds of thousands of dollars of vehicles, equipment, arms and manpower. If they had knocked and inquired they would have been told that the son had moved to NY a month ago and wasn't even there.

But in the fascist state the show of force and intimidation is everything and common sense is last on the list and in fact usually fails to be on the list at all. So once again they come off as over-reacting goons and so to look tough they take the router from the couple and their computer hard drive that has all of their family pictures. Here's a video.

a huge amount of things and I mean like "one room school" old school. So that means hard copies and I don't put family pictures or data on the computer. I do e-mail messages but not very frequently and never last names.
