On the 19th of April, protesters deployed nationwide for another round of 50501 protests. Threats of heavy policing including by ICE were called and found to be bluffs.
One of these protests was in Tampa, where protesters marched on ICE’s offices in the Dept of Homeland Security building. Protesters demanded that all deportees in CECOT or elsewhere be brought home-and that ICE be abolished outright.
Contrary to the threats of ICE deployment and enhanced policing, cops kept their distance and most of them stayed out of sight. No arrests or injuries were reported, and very few Trumpers showed up to heckle or yell from their cars. Protesters got in, made their demands, and got out unopposed.
This was the day before Trump’s “border security” review that mentions the Insurrection Act is due back. The report has been partially leaked: Hegseth et all are recommending a NO on the Insurrection Act or martial law. Few want to enter the US now with Nazis running the country so few border crossings, and perhaps this “mission” is proving unpopular in the military.
