As Trump keeps pursuing this insane violent crackdown, supposedly on illegal immigrants, but actually much beyond that - A woman in Minneapolis was shot, in her car. Luckily there is a ton of video, but Trump's people are already maligning her, and it's a horrible tragedy.

We didn’t all vote for it. That’s why there are people protesting. And thank god for them

You’ll find we actually did vote for it. And then Congress passed ICE funding. This is how it works.

But it seems you think having tantrums in the street and blocking roads is very, very democratic somehow.

I do.

Stop rioting and let ICE do their job. We don’t get such incidents outside of blue cities because ICE are allowed to do their duties.

An out-of-context image of a child is not going to change that reality. They will be deported together, as a family, back to their homeland.

Basically you are trying to undermine what we all voted for, with emotional appeal. It’s not going to work.

If you do not have legal status in America, it’s on you to pack up your shit and go home to avoid this outcome. It’s really as simple as that.

Out of context images? It will take you about five seconds to find corroborating evidence for this happening, and multiple others. That’s if the woman being shot to death wasn’t enough for you.

I used to think most people were good. But I see the things that people like you are posting and I truly wonder what the hell happened to reach such levels of callousness.

No. We’re not looking away from what you’re doing.

In today’s ICE’s greatest hits we have:

A five-year-old boy - ICE holding him by his Spider-Man backpack and taking him with his father to a detention centre - leaving his other brother to come home from school and find his family gone.

We have head ICE honcho, Greg Bovino, having a fine time releasing chemical gas into bystanders and protesters.

We have ICE agents pressing somebody face down, with a knee in their back, while another sprays bear spray into his face. Bear spray.

So we look to you. We see you.

Here’s a picture of the five year-old boy, although I’m pretty sure that anybody that has any decency already knows this is abhorrent. And the rest… well…

Endless projection by the left. I remember when Charlie Kirk died and people here said they were glad.

He was just speaking with college kids. He certainly wasn’t driving an SUV at a federal agent.

Let’s not forget leftists crying about how Trumps would-be assassin should have had better aim …

Look to yourselves.

I assume everyone here has read 1984, and is aware of how insidiously this sort of unprincipled behaviour by authorities creeps in. I am most concerned about it. We really do need to be careful about who we choose as our leaders, and always remember that those in power can be utterly unscrupulous. “Power corrupts….” What happens in the US is so easily transferable over here. Trump horrifies me.

Yes, but the really weird thing about Trump is that:

  1. it happened so fast
  2. so many people still approve Thank you for your post. I hope Trump - whose attitudes have infects other countries - will see the U.S. as a cautionary tale.

The view in my neck of the woods (SW UK) is that ICE are completely out of control, and that Trump has been even worse for the US than w3 anticipated. There is no way in the world I would go to US atm. Once Trump’s dead and gone, well gone, I might consider 8t, but no matter how much I’d like to go to Grand Ole Opry or anywhere else over there, not going now.

Very sensible. No decent person should bring their tourist money to the U.S. at present.

I am watching with absolute horror. That poor woman and her poor family. And the horrific gaslighting announcements from the Administration.

I used to love visiting America. I worked for a US firm for many years and went over there on many business trips. I’ve also made several leisure trips with my family to Florida, New York, etc. I don’t know anyone who will visit by choice now. My Facebook feed is full of airline posts trying to flog cut price flights to the US. The reactions are mostly laughing emojis.

TooBigForMyBoots · 15/01/2026 23:55

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Just saying.

@MsAmerica You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Edited

Oh, of course if you prefer a country where the rights of ordinary people are trampled and lawless governmental thugs can murder people with impunity, perhaps you'd be happier elsewhere, on another continent.

@draft123 speaks for me tbh. It’s absolutely humiliating that a stupid squabble in another country automatically gets to lead our news for two whole days. It might or might not be interesting, but ultimately it’s nothing to do with us. Ridiculous that people here are being made stressed over it.

Excuse me, but:

First, it's not a "squabble." It's an unconstitutional crack-down, including murder, that is un-Constitutional.

Second, it most definitely "has to do" with you. As Trump threatens country after country, do you think the U.K. will be immune? As right-wingers try to get control of various countries, do you think the U.K. will be immune?

You should attend to it as a frightening cautionary tale.

It's huge news, I m in ireland, and can think of little else for the last 5 days. It's horrific.

Thankfully there are plenty of people brave enough to protest. It's Natzi Germany, all over again. It must be horrifying living through it.

Stay safe.

Yes, but we need protest numbers like Iran! Now, THAT's brave.

You somehow missed the multiple threads on here?

Unfortunately, a lot of British leftists are completely obsessed with America, while knowing next to nothing about it.

Tiresome …

If there were multiple threads in the Politics forum specifically citing this in their title line, yes, I did miss them.
I can't fault Brits, neither righties nor lefties, for not knowing much about America, as Americans aren't exactly knowledgeable about other countries themselves.

The bigger irony is him defending and pardoning the 6th January insurgents while calling Renee a terrorist.

Or perhaps the bigger irony is his behaving viciously and murderously toward Democratic American protesters while encouraging and defending Iranian protesters.

I heard that quote from him and was like 'Sir Hiss' from Disney's Robin Hood, when Little John kissed off all the King's ring jewels. So hypocritical.

We've heard about him calling her a 'Fucking bitch' wasn't it? This strongly points towards it being murder for me but are the courts going to prosecute him? I said to my DH that it was really weird how he positioned himself in front of her car the way he did; almost like he was willing it to happen. Combined with his words after the shooting, it sounds like she wound him up and he engineered an excuse to shoot her in the face.

Absolutely appalling and of course, the statement made by Trump straight after was full of untruths. He just says what he fucking likes and hopes 'headology' (as Granny Weatherwax calls it) will make us imagine it to be so.

I'm not wildly well-informed by this, but I was told in another forum site that ICE agents have immunity. I don't know for sure if that's true.

Seeing as the US is hurtling towards being a dictatorship, if arguably not already there, while threatening to invade Greenland, then I think it should be pretty much at the top of the news.

The US is very important. I think Trump is appalling figure. Greenland and other things are forcing a fundamental rethinking of the Western world.

I think your post illustrates one of the dangers of absorbing US-brain as our own lens on the news.

Anyone who can describe the US system of government as even 'arguably' as a dictatorship has lost perspective. Ditto the rightists who call everything 'Marxist' because that's what they say in America.

That makes it harder to understand the world, and therefore to actually confront the many challenges, from many angles and countries and issues, that we face.
