I live in a neighborhood that is 95% Latino. I haven't seen any ICE agents around but I'm sure they'll show up eventually.

My guess is your phone wrote Isis instead of ICE.  Then I thought about it. Is there really a difference? Hmmm?

 

ISIS = Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Militant Islamic activists bent on creating and controlling an Islamic state. 

 

ICE = Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One of the federal police agencies in the United States. 

 

Anything else could be taken as a non-neutral expression.

I can imagine this ICE authority turning into the Anti religion enforcement during the GT.

Just my opinion and thoughts. Not being dogmatic but exactly my thinking. I see them as in beginnings of the federal police. Immigration is simply their training for what's to come when they're push local and city PDs aside and going all out.

While the methods and tactics would look similar, there would be no need to use ICE or create a new police agency in the US when that time comes. Current police have the authority to arrest and detain criminals. In fact, the police have already been used against religions throughout history.  Not only Witnesses, but other religions and cults have felt the boot of authority. 

 

It's not like they will deport us to another country when we will be outlawed in all countries. 

 

On the other hand, governments love to make new agencies. It's fun, keeps people employed, and gives the populace the impression something is being done. So, yeah, they could easily create a new police agency specifically directed to enforce anti-religious policies.

They were just in our county the other day, our city council leader put out a letter just yesterday talking about their presence and how they know it's scaring everyone, especially considering what's going on in Minneapolis and St Paul right now. We have Metro witnessing in those areas, from what I've been told it's all on Zoom right now. I talked to a sister yesterday in Marshfield who's family is over in Minneapolis currently, she's the one that told me that. I don't know about other areas around Minneapolis and Saint Paul though.

The week ICE was in our state the Spanish congregations were instructed to meet on zoom.
