Mini-Post: Where Is This Leading?

This is a very disturbing if true. There are reports that militia groups are possibly helping ICE. Those unmarked vans, and balaclava covering their faces they might not be ICE.

Well, it didn’t take long. The white supremacist Proud Boys have officially declared their return, thanks to Donald Trump’s mass pardons on January 20. And with his second term now in full swing, they’re not just celebrating — they’re actively looking to get involved, including in immigration enforcement.

According to the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), the Proud Boys are already positioning themselves as potential enforcers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Tracking their activity on Telegram, GPAHE has reported that Proud Boys PDX fantasizes about being “deputized as ICE under Trump’s second term” to aid in mass deportations.

It doesn’t stop there. Proud Boys in Upstate New York are ecstatic about rumors circulating on their platforms, suggesting that ICE is allegedly offering “$750 per illegal immigrant” reported through its tip form. They’ve boasted about having a “network set up” ready to deliver information. Meanwhile, in Northern Nevada, the group shared an ominous image depicting a swastika rising like a sun with the caption, “A new day is about to dawn in America … it’s going to be glorious.”

This is scary, how do you know when they are breaking that they are really ICE or are they MAGA.

And down south at the boarder...

Border Militias Prepare to Assist With Donald Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans

Militias that patrol the US border with Mexico are thrilled that Donald Trump has been elected—and plan to be a “valuable resource” to the incoming administration, whether or not they’re asked.

Militias operating along the US–Mexico border plan to continue their vigilante operations once president-elect Donald Trump takes office, and some see themselves as acting in concert with military and federal agents to execute mass deportation plans.

It’s unclear how this would work in practice, but Tim Foley, head of Arizona Border Recon, a “civilian patrol group” based out of Altar Valley that claims to disrupt smuggling and trafficking routes, tells WIRED he has been in contact with the incoming Trump administration and that he expects to be a valuable resource to them.

“We’re in talks with a few different people,” says Foley, who rejects the term militia. “We have a better lay of the land than the federal agents do.”

Are you scared yet?
