… It’s not like these kind of threats aren’t happening daily by now

The stereotype is that all “americans own guns” and nope - guns are expensive, your shittiest hipoint is still going to run you more than $200. The extremely poor communities they’re primarily persecuting aren’t the kind of people that can afford to have an arsenal, on top of many of them being very liberal-leaning. They very explicitly aren’t going after groups that can fight back.
Solid point, though with the number of cases I think it’s just a matter of time until it happens. Maybe we should start handing out guns and ammo to the targeted people? The 2nd amendment folk should be all for it /s./
38 states, over half a million ICE arrests this year, that’s becoming a statistics game. Bound to happen soon
How many of those ICE arrests have been at the border vs. the violent arrests in the cities? Not discounting the inevitability, just curious what the rate actually is

Official ice statistics

Texas is the only border state that rates high in their own statistics

Yeah, if they keep escalating things then I wholly agree that it’s when-not-if situation. Fuckers are just waiting for it, too.
