Let's Be Honest. There Are Some Differences BetweenTactics of ICE and the Nazi Gestapo: Rounding People Up Without Warrants, Without Due Process...

throwing those arrested in cells for weeks, not allowing contact with family or friends...

The Gestapo didn't wear masks.

(And this is by no means to minimize the crimes against humanity that Nazi Germany committed. But this is how the Nazi regime started. It's how Mussolini's Squadristi started. It's how Putin consolidated power. It's how even Sulla started, with his proscription lists over 2100 years ago.)

Gardeners reportedly taken by ICE agents while mowing outside California home

Neighbors are concerned after a Southern California man said his two gardeners were reportedly taken by federal immigration agents as they were working outside his home.

On Thursday morning, Christopher Ames said his gardeners were mowing the lawn outside his house in Ontario, Calif. His neighbors, who had witnessed the men being taken into custody, quickly alerted him to the incident.

“They left the lawnmower running right here on the front lawn,” Ames said. “They threw my gardeners’ phones in their [work truck], along with the car keys, left everything open and just took off.”

Neighbors who learned of the arrests said they were a bit stunned.

“I just think that’s wrong,” Ames told Nexstar’s KTLA. “This is not the way we treat people, and this is not the way this country should be acting.”

Luis said the two men were reportedly taken by agents with ICE, and they have not been able to contact them.

“They were my family, and we’re living in fear,” he said.

A neighbor named Rose said she watched the arrests from her home across the street.

“I understand people are just doing their jobs and people are here illegally,” she said. “I get the entire picture. But to be scooped up in such a way, I just hope that they had the opportunity to reach out to their families.”

With the men’s cellphones left behind, Rose said she is concerned they would have no way to contact loved ones to let them know of their detainment, leaving them in distress.

“As a mom and a wife, if I’m expecting someone to come home and they don’t come home and I have no way of reaching them or finding them, that’s the scary part,” she said.

When agents randomly target individuals like this, it suggests that members of the public are turning over their neighbours. Another mark of an authoritarian state.
