Glad to see Trump pissing off one of his constituencies

Almost laughable, but this is the same stuff pulled in blue states. Wonder why it went unpublished for a while?

Maybe it was inconvenient to let his MAGAtard cultists that he is attacking red states as well…..which will cost him Latino votes at some point.

“People in Wilder, Idaho, didn't give much thought to the dusty horse track west of town known as La Catedral Arena, where, on Sundays in the summer and early fall, vendors sold horchata and tacos, announcers called race results in Spanish and immigrant families gathered for reasonably priced fun.

But when federal agents swarmed the track on Oct. 19 — weapons drawn, a helicopter overhead, unmarked S.U.V.s screeching in on dirt roads — they did more than crack an alleged gambling ring and increase deportation numbers. They shattered Wilder’s innocent belief that its out-of-the-way location and deep-red politics could isolate the town from the raids overtaking other parts of the country…..”

“Beyond the economic impact, there is the social one — the profound sense of uncertainty and suspicion that has filtered down, even to a town like Wilder, Idaho.

The raid “nearly destroyed” the community, said David Lincoln, a longtime Wilder resident and executive director of a nonprofit economic development agency serving rural towns in western Idaho. Wilder won’t really know the impact until planting season begins this spring…..”

Another tidbit…..if you read the article. If not, here’s this:

“…….many teenagers had their hands bound. Mr. Carter said he saw federal officers pointing guns at people simply for asking questions, and young teenagers being zip-tied, including Mr. Carter’s 14-year-old daughter…..”

Zip ties used on teenagers. Pointing guns at teenagers. Terrorizing American Citizens.

Red or Blue, this is unacceptable, it is what authoritarian dick-taters do…..and we have a dick-tater wanna be in what’s left of the White House……

Be aware MAGAtards….you are next in Trumps crosshairs.

Hmmm. Had to bring up what happened in the Gemstone State.

Government better learn from the past else it's gonna bite them in the ass.

So, you defend Trumps orders to use military weaponry against American citizens, red state or blue state.

You are excusing his actions by saying he is a “puppet”.

He ain’t no puppet. He is the puppet master of the neutered cowards elected under the guise of the GOP…..while in reality, masked thugs sent by Trump are terrorizing Americans everywhere.

From the Idaho Statesman:

“Law-enforcement officers during the Wilder raid in October acted violently, hurled racial epithets and largely withheld food, water, bathrooms and medical care as part of their targeting of Latino Idahoans, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Idaho’s U.S. District Court. Ten agencies and 200 officers swooped in Oct. 19 for the final horse race of the season at La Catedral Arena, zip-tying minors and detaining hundreds for hours, said the lawsuit…..”
