Maybe they saw the writing on the wall and did this so they wouldnt go to jail for election interference down the line.

Kind of a strange order, and I certainly expected ICE to be acting in the weeks of early voting and voting day to actively suppress the vote.

I can imagine two possibilities:

1. Someone sane in the chain of command gave a quiet order without authorization from the Stephen Miller level to avoid potential voter suppression.
2. Someone at a political appointee level gave the order to avoid a chance of ICE murdering another citizen or creating a national news story that would swing the election (but turns out that wasn't needed).

If only they had thought of doing this two years sooner, it might have worked.

The fascists do not care about immigrants. They know America relies on immigrant labor. Every single thing has been a distraction as trump and co dismantled and sold everything for profit. Even Vance blaming the GOP losses on the Iran war was a distraction for their base to buy as much time as possible so they can launder the gains and eat shred the documents.

Haven't you noticed fewer voter-apathy bots today? Pack it up. Operation is finished. They enjoyed the 2 years of looting.

I rolled up to the polls with my Colt .45. If I had seen masked men I would have instantly opened fire. Hell, I'll open fire on masked kidnappers anywhere I see them.

This isn't some macho shit. I know they'll kill me in the end, but after what 01/06 did to me, I could not live with myself standing by. I can barely live with myself now. A river of MAGA blood would not assuage my anger and hate.

Because they wanted them to go vote instead of chasing not-voting-anyway-illegal immigrants?

“Nobody from the SDDO level” — a reference to Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer, part of ICE’s upper management — “expected it to happen until the very last moment,” said another ICE official familiar with the matter. “But I think some of us caught on that senior leadership was making this call with fears of us being at the polls.”

The official said, “It’s crazy that The White House didn’t catch on.”

It's afraid.

This should be top of list for Dems come January. It should be addressed on Day 1.

Just how in the fuck are these guys allowed to be operating in secret at all?

These motherfuckers work for us.

I wonder if this will be claimed to be election interference, or if it is intended to be election interference?

Hidden protectors of democracy or another nefarious plan we aren't seeing yet? 🤔

Am I interpreting this correctly? Ice kept themselves off work so as not to interfere ?

Very interesting

That's because people LOVE ICE so Much!
