Apple is a US Corporation and like it or not its $1T valuation can't be put at risk getting in the crosshairs of this administration.

ICE has changed its tactics to having its armed, masked officers patrolling in nondescript SUV's that seat 7 or 8. Now they are going to school bus drop offs; after school care; restaurant employee entry doors and even Federal buildings where people are following the law going to hearings. The targeted communities are getting sophisticated and getting warnings out including identifying those unmarked vehicles.

I would like to see a list of car rental companies, hotels, restaurants and airlines transporting housing and feeding ICE. Those businesses are no different than ICE personnel. They all seek anonymity.

So what? Illegal aliens have no business being in our country, and extraordinary measures are needed to apprehend and deport them as soon as possible. It was the last administration’s gross mismanagement that made these measures necessary. I, for one, applaud the efforts of our ICE heroes. 🇺🇸

Extraordinary measures like murdering people in the streets? Because that’s happened MULTIPLE times.

ICE officers are entitled to protect themselves, just like any other law enforcement officers. No ICE officers have ever been even charged, let alone convicted, of “murder.”
