Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

    don’t answer your door.

    No matter how hard they knock or how much they shout, just ignore them until they leave.

    I find it works best to sit very still and mentally count down from 1,000.

    So Mr. Trump and Musk had created an America where the Gestapo exists and is going to every home asking “Papers, please”

    I miss the time when Trump was a joke and Elon was just a store to buy kitchen appliances in Sweden.

    The only answer to an ICE agent is a hail of bullets in their faces. Fucking Nazi scum.

    Does Colorado have Stand your ground laws? Because now would be a could time to kick people out at gunpoint who try to get into your home without a warrant.

      Sounds like a recipe for being murdered on the spot. Under fascism, the law doesn’t offer any real protection.

    This is why I have a foot mat that says “come back with a warrant, we don’t willingly comply.”
