What ICE is doing in US airports today, it will be doing at US polling places in November. These photos aren’t funny or incongruous; they should be giving us nightmares. This has to end now.

@ben I agree with you.
I have a friend who has a theory that having ICE at airports is good, because then the clueless white people will become uncomfortable and begin to understand how people of color have been feeling.

@freyjfreyj @ben It might not "be good,' but that could be a good side effect.
I think the goal was for people to feel *safer* -- these folks will protect them from those foreigners at the airport!!!
but honestly I don't think they know the posture to do that.

I *hope* that people have seen other sources of truth and copaganda just doesn't work as well, so being in the presence of a whole bunch of heavily armed people doesn't make them feel safe.

@geonz @freyjfreyj @ben I'm flying to Europe this summer, and the thought of L'ICE in my hair at the airport is nothing less than terrifying.

@courtcan @freyjfreyj @ben yea.... I feel that. They're sayin' anybody who has to fly should be taking pictures of unmasked agents but I don't think I could be that brave
