The point of ICE

Congress is debating how to “rein in” ICE and Border Patrol agents.
There is no talk about reining in their guns.
The standard automatic rifles are fitted with an assortment of attachments. One is a $3,000 MAWL: twin lasers that assist night vision when searching for a target. MAWLs are described by the manufacturer as โ€œthe superior solution for any low light/no light combat environment.โ€
Our citiesโ€”but only cities in โ€œblue states” โ€” have become “combat environments.”
Among the protest signs at the Saturday pro-democracy rallies in Peterborough: ICE / You are the terrorists.
That appears to be the point of ICE and Border Patrol tactics, and boasts by the MAGA team, victim blaming, even Alex Pretti pinned to the ground and shot 10 times. Domestic terrorism by our government.
The last two Saturday rallies at the Route 101/202 stoplights in Peterborough drew more than 80 people. Come on along. They are held from 1 to 2 p.m.
