They've already told AOC to pipe down.

Abolish ICE

NSA · Jul 11, 2019

I wonder why they bother to announce this before hand?

Thrill_house · Jul 11, 2019

People are going to end up getting violent and/or shot over this.

I have the utmost confidence that ICE will respect the tenets and letter of due process.

To incite terror. They're terrorists.

Will this be enough for the Democratic Party to act, or does a child need to die on the House floor before democratic leadership will finally act?

Yeah. Saw on twitter they met about it and Pelosi told them to spread 'know your rights'

If you ask yourself why are they forewarning this: Cruelty is the point.

They want non-white people to be scared shitless for their lives.

Doesn't Microsoft help them? I think ICE would hardly function without their help, but I don't see that being brought up on this forum, weirdly enough.

Yup, and when they try to defend themselves, Trump will just say, "you see what these savages are capable of? They're animals" as a means of justification

Defund ICE when it's politically useful. I mean abolish ICE.

I guess so, how petty and it just seems so stupid.. Asshats.

Would this warning be a net benefit to the people targeted though? At least maybe they have time to get out of town or plan to be somewhere else this weekend?

ICE themselves even think talking about it is dumb. From the article:

Former acting ICE director John Sandweg, who served under the Obama administration, also expressed concern Thursday about operational details being released ahead of time.
"You never want the target to know you're coming. You want that element of surprise because it keeps you safe," he said, referring to the officers.
"From an effective perspective, that's why you don't announce these things," he added. "Somebody has determined the political value of talking about this publicly exceeds the operational value of surprise."

This is what they announced a couple weeks ago and got postponed, correct?

(Which itself was probably a deliberate mind game too)

Edit: yep

Can we keep them and toss ICE out? I think I prefer that.

Microsoft has a contract for ICE. Remove their support and a huge blow is dealt to their effectiveness.

Trump doesn't need justifications, so no need to pearl clutch over it. Hopefully ICE is reminded how many guns are in this country, its about that time. This train wreck is going to be right on time.

Deleted member 2802 · Jul 11, 2019

The New York Times first reported on the raids, saying they are expected to take place in at least 10 cities, will occur "over multiple days" and will include "collateral" deportations in which "authorities might detain immigrants who happened to be on the scene, even though they were not targets of the raids."

Collateral deportations
wtf

Besides the cruelty angle this is also red meat for his base. Even if they call this off like last time it will have done the job to his zealots.

It's the biggest story on their home page, and I'm gonna guess gonna be featured heavily in tomorrow's print edition.
There are many things to criticize about the NYT, but I really don't think that's one them. I think they published it when it was ready to publish and that's a good thing, I don't want the NYT to sit on stories like that for newcycle consideration.
