Ben Meiselas: 特朗普政府正在对美国,特别是蓝州的城市发动战争,利用ICE特工对移民社区进行残酷镇压,这让人联想到纳粹德国的盖世太保行为。ICE特工在各地随意逮捕、殴打移民,将他们与家人分离,制造恐怖气氛。然而,社区民众并没有屈服,他们勇敢地站出来反抗ICE的暴行,用手机记录下这些罪行,并试图阻止ICE的绑架行为。特朗普政府试图通过煽动国际冲突来转移人们对国内镇压的注意力,但这种策略正在失败。重要的是,我们要团结一致,和平抗议,揭露真相,支持那些受到不公正待遇的移民社区。我坚信,亲民主的力量终将战胜独裁统治,我们人民将会站起来,反抗特朗普政府的暴政。我的妻子是第一代美国人,她的家人也深受其害,这让我更加坚定地要为正义而战。 Michelle Marino & Denise Cotter: U.S. Bank 对我们小企业关怀备至,而且实力雄厚,能带来真正的改变。

We're celebrating 20 years of business and U.S. Bank have been there every step of the way from our minivans and now our 10,000 square foot location. I'm Michelle Marino. I'm Denise Cotter. We're co-owners of Houndstooth House. Houndstooth House is located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

We were told early on, surround yourself by people that you work well with. And U.S. Bank was a great partner. U.S. Bank is small enough to care and big enough to make a difference. All hell is breaking loose in cities across the United States of America, particularly cities in blue states, that Donald Trump is unleashing war against America.

Car washes, Home Depot parking lots, swap meets are being invaded by masked ICE agents and potentially bounty hunters who have been deputized as ICE agents. Correction officers deputized as ICE agents.

targeting hard-working migrants, beating them, attacking them, making them disappear. And we're seeing how others in the community are observing what ICE is doing, standing up against ICE, and they're getting this all on tape as well. I want to highlight some examples over the past

just 48 hours or so. I want to give a shout out to Brittany Mahio over at the Los Angeles Times. I think she's doing a great job reporting on this as well. She spoke to an individual named Job Garcia, a United States citizen who was arrested by Border Patrol agents outside a Home Depot in Hollywood. Here's what Job Garcia heard them say. How

How many bodies did you guys grab today? Oh, we grabbed 31. Oh, what a good day. High five. I'm talking about hardworking migrants, people who have lived here in many cases for decades, who are now ripped apart from their family. And before doing that, physically ripped, thrown to the ground, beaten, beaten.

beaten ruthlessly by these disgusting ICE agents, the American Gestapo. It's on tape. It's being filmed.

I'll show you. Job Garcia shared this video he took shortly before his arrest. You'll see the ICE agents going to a truck driver. Boom. They bang the windshield. They grab the truck driver. Job Garcia is like, what the F are you doing? So just a warning. The language here, lots of cursing. There's a lot of physical. You're going to see violence here. We can't look away from this, though. We have to know this is happening. I know with Donald Trump provoking violence,

escalating wars overseas and all of the things that Trump is doing. He wants to distract from the fact that he has a Gestapo like the Nazis going through the United States and doing this. Here, play this clip. Hey, no less. You are you fucking serious, bro?

Horrible, horrible stuff.

Pablo Monriquez posted the following employees and bystanders at Salgado Tire Service in Pico Rivera, California, run an immigration agent off their property for harassing their workers. As Adrian Karskio explains,

They don't want the attention for what they're doing, these ICE agents and those deputized as such. They don't want anyone to know who they are, and that's why they're masked. They don't want videos like this out there. We've seen multiple examples of too much attention and light flushing them out.

So let us use our platform here at the Midas Touch Network with over 5 million subscribers to be that light. Play this clip. You guys don't have to talk. You guys don't have to talk. You guys do not have to answer any questions. No questions at all. What's your badge number? What's your badge number actually? Yeah.

I already answered to you. You could leave. You already gave me the answer. I already answered to you. Don't put your hand in my face. I'm not doing nothing. I'm not doing nothing. I have a lot of space. I understand, but he has his rights as well. We all have our rights. We have our rights. As long as we're here in the United States, we all have them. You can go. You can go. Thank you so much.

Next, I want to show you this. A brave woman stopping a kidnapping.

by these individuals who claim that they are ICE agents. And you know, lots of people playing their deputized as ICE agents. And this is from a car wash also in the area as well, same area. And you'll hear her say, this is effing kidnapping. That's not your badge. I do have a little bit of an education. Get the F out of here. Racial profiling is illegal. Play this clip.

What are you guys doing? What are you guys doing? Batch, okay, you need to identify yourselves. You need to identify yourselves. No, you need to identify yourselves. This is kidnap. This is kidnap. You need to fucking identify yourselves.

You identify. Identify yourselves. What's your batch number? I identify myself to him. I'm talking to him. I'm not talking to you. No. We didn't see any of that shit. We didn't see any of that. No. No. Okay.

Why don't you question me? You guys are not even eyes. You need to identify yourselves. This is nothing but fucking bounty...

Can I see your badge, please? No, I don't see it. No, I need to see it. No, this is kidnap. This is kidnap. This is kidnap. This is a kidnap. I am staying out of the way, but it is also my right to record.

So this is fucking kidnap because you guys just show up and you do not identify yourself. So they don't have to go. They don't have to go with you guys. Do you identify yourselves? I need to see the badge. No, that is not your badge. It's not your badge. You know what? I do have a little bit of education and I know that that is not your badge. That is not your badge.

So unless you guys identify yourselves, you are not taking anybody. It's like eyes with freaking out of shape, fat asses.

Then he was charged with punching ICE officers, which he did not do. And he was standing up for people in this Home Depot parking lot while the Trump regime was having the Gestapo arrest migrants. Here, play this clip. Hey, what the fuck?

I can fucking record you if I want. Hey!

Hey, what the fuck? Look, look, look. Put him in the car. Put him in the car. These are legal citizens, you fucking pieces of shit. Fuck you. Put him in the car. Put him in the car. Hey, what the fuck is wrong with you guys? Look, look, look.

Now in this next post, this was posted by Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries. This is a disturbing video, but they're all frankly disturbing.

This is a bunch of masked men in border patrol vests, brutally assaulting and detaining a father in California. You can see his gardening equipment on the floor because he's probably a day laborer who works for homes in California and gardening and landscape. His three sons have all been publicly identified as Marines in

Welcome to Donald Trump's fascist America. Are you disgusted yet? Play this clip.

Now, this is being posted from the official White House account right here, what I'm showing you. This is official videos and photos from the White House Instagram account. If you don't believe me, go and look at it yourself. It shows ICE agents and...

Customs and Border Patrol agents dressed in military fatigues. Frankly, they're equipped with military gear that I know our soldiers who served in Afghanistan wish they may have had some of this gear. And this is what the Border Patrol post says. It says, we show up, we stand firm, we carry out the mission despite the noise. Look at this other photo of them like an officer.

Where are they going? Where is this United States armed military invading that's being posted on the White House account? Oh, the Santa Fe Springs swap meeting.

Family fun, live music, shopping. Open six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday at the Santa FeSwapMeet.com. I've been to the Santa Fe Swap Meet before. It used to be vibrant, thriving, cultural. You would have lots of Latinos there. But frankly, lots of people showed up, enjoyed great food, great things that were for sale right there. But now...

Border Patrol agents dressed like an invading force were out there. Oh, and then they're showing people giving them the middle finger as helicopters and choppers fly overhead. That's what they're posting on the official White House account. Look, it's not a question of is there a constitutional crisis in the United States?

It's over. There's, I'll tell you, I mean, we're going to fight back and we're going to win, but we're past constitutional crisis mode. Okay. We are in fascism mode. Well,

You have Donald Trump, an authoritarian, a dictator. America is, this is a dictatorship period. That is what it is. America is not a democracy right now. Now, there are millions of people on the low end, 6 million on the high end, 10 to 12 million people, different estimates I saw, protesting at the No Kings, the biggest protest in the history of the United States. Think about that.

You don't hear about that on corporate news. The largest mass mobilization ever is taking place against a dictatorship that now has taken over the United States with mass Gestapo punching, attacking, harming people. We heard the story of a 64-year-old man killed during an ICE transfer.

Killed during an ICE transfer. Horrific, horrific conditions. We've been sharing the stories of 19-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls ripped from their families, thrown in detention centers. I played you the clips of people crying and howling, thrown into horrific detention centers. And this hits near and dear to my heart.

My wife is first generation American. Her family's from Guadalajara. They live in, I won't say the name of the community, but in Los Angeles, in a community where ICE agents are there daily in those clips that I'm showing you.

The ICE agents are going to those Home Depots. Those ICE agents are targeting and attacking people in my wife's neighborhood. My wife's mother is a United States citizen, as are all of my wife's family members. They don't leave their homes.

I want to explain to you what's happening in these communities from a firsthand perspective. My wife's mom, who would go to church frequently, is no longer going. It was a major part of her life, is afraid to leave her home. She used to go to the gym. She is not leaving her home. And now the word on the street is that ICE is going to start going into people's homes.

And you see the ice ages. When my nieces and nephews recently graduated, you had ice going around in circles in menacing ways, threatening and harassing and intimidating Latino communities. And this is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And it's happening right now in the United States while Donald Trump is escalating wars and he's going it with Netanyahu against Iran, um,

isolating all of our allies. And by the way, it just shows you what an idiot Trump is. As he and Netanyahu are going after Iran, Trump sent General Kellogg to meet with Lukashenko in Belarus, one of Putin's puppets. And Iran and Putin are allied. We have the most idiotic dictator in the world. But let me leave you with some hope.

And the hope is, I promise you, the pro-democracy community is going to prevail. I promise you that we, the people, will stand up and rise up like we are doing now against the Trump regime. And when we stick together, when we stay shoulder to shoulder, there is no stopping us. This is Democracy Summer, the protest, and I only encourage peaceful protests. Periodful's only peaceful protest here at the Midas Touch Network. Peaceful protests will continue to grow.
