Trump’s Unaccountable and Uncontrollable ICE Race Soldiers Are Making America Resemble a Third World Dictatorship

From [HERE] The United States is increasingly playing out scenes reminiscent of a brutal fascist regime as officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) show an absolute disregard for human rights as they hunt down illegal immigrants.

In the small California town of Campo, which sits less than a mile from the U.S.-Mexico border, witnesses described the terror they experienced as they watched masked men round up agricultural workers employed on farms – young and old alike – and force them into unmarked cars.

In most cases, the officials wear plain clothes and refuse to identify themselves, thus making it impossible to distinguish between immigration agents and imposters. And with no number to call to track down their loved ones, people have no choice but to report the disappearances as potential kidnappings.

One young man asked as his friend was shoved into an unmarked van, “What kind of police go around in masks without uniforms and identification badges?”

Citizens feel desperate as there is nothing that can be done to rein in the power of the ICE troops. Filing complaints with the Department of Homeland Security is a futile gesture because the office that once handled them has been dismantled. There is little hope of holding individual agents accountable for alleged abuses because there is simply no way to reliably learn their identities. This has led to a situation where people are afraid to venture onto the street to perform simple chores, like go grocery shopping or pick up their children from school.

Across the nation, people must accept the grim reality that there are virtually no limits on what federal agents can do to achieve President Donald Trump’s goal of mass deportations. The town of Campo has proven to be a testing ground for much larger raids and even more violent arrests in places like Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois and elsewhere. [MORE]
