ICE is made up of the same unemployed, security guards who showed up in many cities across America to defend Kellie-Jay Keen. They dress the same with gaiter face masks, urban aka “fashion” camo, bulletproof vests, and lethal weapons, mostly guns but some other as well. Those same security guards were nowhere to be seen when activists tried to jump & attack women at the end of the protest. They literally just left.
Violent actors did not distinguish between women who did & did come from the fences, where they had been caged in like chattel by the police, while protesting. It was the National Guard members who protect the Liberty Bell & Philadelphia’s own police officers who protected women from being beaten down in the street that day.
I took a photo of a man in my family’s deli in September wearing a “U.S. Customs & Border Protection” shirt which was a 🚩 to me that a round up was coming because he has never been in before & I felt like we were being canvassed by someone ordering food. To see if we employ any noticeable immigrants in our kitchen (we don’t, but I know of many local places that do). I noticed him because I was sitting at a little two seater table & he was standing at the counter wearing camo pants that I immediately recognized as “fashion camo” of some sort because my ex husband was in ROTC as a teen & remained very interested & educated in various differences between different branches of the military even though he abandoned that plan as a teen & decided not to join. I am always glad because he wouldn’t have been around or my type if he stayed a war lover instead of becoming a peace lover & we wouldn’t have had my son & those 10 really fun good years of raising him together.
So I asked a current former Navy friend Which camo it is because he is a good guy who reminds me of my ex husband but who Actually did go through with signing up & having to live on a submarine & handle nuclear technology as a young man. He knew it was Dessert Storm Chocolate Chip. I then used my photo to find the “uniform store” where I could easily buy those today online for cheap even though the military stopped using it around 1992-1993.
My love of military history & study comes from my dad & our love of Orson Scott Card the problematic closeted Mormon author who introduced me to the world of men as a child but who also introduced me to a lot of concepts around philosophy & culture I wouldn’t be as interested in otherwise. Other than getting me obsessed with Ender’s Game my dad also had me watching things like The Last Starfighter. It is incredible to watch his worst fears come to life. Where Call of Duty & Battlefield Modern Warfare were actually used to train an entire segment of the young population to cheer for war & sometimes to participate in it. Where even my dad has become the evil DT supporter cheering for the deaths of innocent civilians. Even though he was ringing the alarm bells before anyone else. Through drugs & television he’s living in his own version of Fahrenheit 451. Another sci-fi book/movie that should have made him immune to what is happening but didn’t.
I googled why the CBP agents are here. We don’t have a “border” other than the Atlantic Ocean & I’ve never heard of people being dropped by boats into NJ from other countries for illegal immigration before in my life. It turns out that in July of 2025 the Lakehurst Naval base started housing 1000-3000 immigrant detainees. There was a minimal backlash online in local news orgs but then it seems something else distracting must have happened in the news because nothing came of that & it seems it just happened without anyone really noticing or doing anything about it.
I also read about the places in New Jersey where ICE & CBP members have eaten a full lunch at an establishment like my own & then arrested all the people who work there & served them.
The men who are getting off their jollies from finally being able to put on a makeshift “uniform”, while probably being kept out of every other sector of the military or militarized amerikan police force because of their glaring 🚩 s, are now assassinating civilians in the street for peacefully resisting their illegal tactics that go against our the Constitution which is what makes these States in any way United.
The same type of goonish imps that are doing the killing in Putin’s name in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 & who are murdering civilians & starving children in Gaza 🇵🇸 in Netanyahu’s name are the ones here who are fine with brandishing weapons & acting like this is some HBO show or video game where people aren’t actually hurt by gunfire instead of real life.
The answer is not to manufacture more guns. It is not 3D printing guns. Guns will never free humanity. Humanity can only be freed when we stop worshipping violence as an end to any means. It isn’t.
Destruction can never build the society we all want. Destruction can never give us the future humanity is capable of & that we deserve.
We will survive without oil. Humanity will survive if it gets hotter. We will never survive without others. Humanity only achieves through collaboration.
Love,
Jackie Lane
