    She’s right. Republicans would have never allowed the infrastructure to constantly surveil citizens to be built in the USA if it weren’t brought in using some racist Trojan horse. But now what?

      Oh cmon, that’s not true.

      They would’ve allowed it anyway because cops can use it to track their ex-wives and they could also start tracking when pregnant women go to blue states if they don’t already (they probably do tbh).

      The Democrat Party are also guilty for allowing it. Don’t kid yourself. They’re not our friends.

        Yeah, the one who called this out is just as guilty as the ones who put it there! /s

          When did Biden warn ICE was going to be a paramilitary terror force? Look at the last acts he did before leaving office, one of them was opening up several large detention centers for ICE. The Republicans push the racist agenda and Democrats quietly supply the infrastructure and do nothing to pushback when they have the opportunity.

          the ones who put it there

          I think you should take some time to research and understand that vast difference in budget and in mandate between the ICE Obama inherited from Bush and the one he turned over to Trump before you go saying silly things like that.

            Not to mention that Obama built cages for immigrant kids in which they’re forced to live in hostile environments & will most likely never see their parents again.

            Actions always speaks louder than words on camera, Sunflier.

              Right, cause AOC’s assuming representative office in 2019 can be held responsible for the actions of the Executive administration that ended in 2017.

        Republicans would have traditionally been the ones to put up a larger protest about this. As long as the Democratic Party are nice to trans people, they are my friends… barely, but still friends. But yes, both parties are beholden to wealthy people with agendas that include more surveillance and restrictions.
