With ICE agents going door-to-door in Colorado, residents are on edge: Reporter's notebook
ABC News followed federal immigration agents in a Denver door-to-door raid of suspected undocumented immigrants.
Summary
Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.
Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.
Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.
Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.
And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.
By instilling fear, fascist regimes aim to create a compliant population that willingly surrenders individual freedoms and critical thinking in exchange for a false sense of security and belonging.....https://prizedwriting.ucdavis.edu/fascism-and-denigration-individual
Fuck the NRA. They're totally against all gun regulation unless it's checks notes regulating minorities having guns.
I feel like they are pushing everyone to the breaking point. How long until they knock on the wrong door and get shot?
Homan didn't just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he's doing will draw a lot of ire.
He's taking small town good ol' boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that's why conservatives love him.
The good ol' boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.
Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.
