just a hunch, but i bet the 'red' areas of the country don't get any 'raids'

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

And Florida is a lot more "red" than most people think.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Which is funny because that where large of Trump base resides and they are wanting these raids here. My dad a mega head has been waiting for them to get the illegals out of Texas.

Guess he will rant and rave that has to still hear people speak Spanish.

Well yeah that's because there's fewer people per unit area in those regions in general

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, Trump being famously data-literate and low on rhetoric, that's probably why.

The cops themselves should protest that shit, if for no other initial reason than the upcoming freezing weather.

Cops live for this shit. Chicago has its own off the books torture centre and everything, they're already doing Gestapo stuff, they only needed permission to do it in the open.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 38 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But they get to be fascist jackboots, that’s their favourite thing.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Their robes will blend in with the snow

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it's up to everybody individually to say no to any and every part of this.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dude, from the headlines about cops in USA that just sounds like a joke :).

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure even the cops aren't fond of risking frostbite.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ohh, sorry, I think I misunderstood (didn't think they would be in such a position, they have tons of equipment and reference to nations where it's cold).

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, much of the USA is about to get hit with a super cold Arctic front, way colder than most any of us are used to.

Tuesday's forecast for Chicago has a projected high/low temperature of -17/-22⁰C (2/-8⁰F), well below freezing.
