A while back I said that ICE
might be used for other purposes other than arresting illegals in the future. I was called an idiot of course and will be again. Only a retard liberal thinks something like ICE might be used against domestic threats. This one blog I find very interesting, on the Ukraine, Iran wars and so on, talks a bit about that in the wake of Kirk's killing, in case someone is interested. Unfortunately the whole thing is subscription only.

Some have gone as far as to warn of the connection with Trump’s recent deployment of National Guard troops to US cities, under the aegis of fighting crime and abetting ICE in their harvest of illegals. They have tied the initiatives into a broader ‘Project Esther’-style commitment to “fight antisemitism” by shielding Israel from any possible criticisms in order to whitewash its now-indisputable crimes.
For those that don’t know, Project Esther—named after a figure in the Hebrew bible—comes by way of the Heritage Foundation and aims to “dismantle the Hamas network” in the US by labeling anyone criticizing Israel or supporting Palestine as potential ‘terrorists’ and being tied to Hamas. The connection is obvious: the Trump administration’s normalization of boots-on-ground in US cities can easily be escalated to “rooting out leftwing terrorists” in accordance with Project Esther. Particularly, this could be done under a wider ICE dragnet which would act as stalking horse to plump headlines with the “good” kinds of jackboot roundups to paper over the nefarious kinds, i.e. the roundup of Israel-criticizers.
Many will cheer such scenes, until the switch is flipped and those same troops start coming for them.
Is this all ridiculous subversive alarmism?
