Several agents described receiving briefings about retaliatory threats to ICE inspired by the Minneapolis shooting. “Guys take it really serious, like we are fighting insurgents,” as if Minneapolis is Baghdad, an ICE officer said.

He said the Board of Peace "might" replace the UN. Memberships are determined by Donald Trump alone, with $1 billion for permanent seats. It is governed by "Chairman Trump," who may adopt resolutions or initiatives on its behalf without consulting the board.

The Free World has a new leader. Well, it's a start, at least.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct.

Getting darker still, but real Americans will never be OK with this Gestapo goon force.
Even ICE's own agents are now whistleblowing to expose how the agency has metastasized into a secret police force, complete with ludicrous codenames for its operations of mass surveillance and intimidation.
