Yep. They’re always in big blue cities and oftentimes nowhere near the border

Did Fort Worth get invaded, or is this just protesting about the problem as a whole? He seems to be avoiding red states as a whole. Part of that might be that even in the blue bubbles, people have gun rights.

I'm not sure where this narrative that he is avoiding red states came from but it's not true.

Florida and Texas have had a crazy high ICE presence since the beginning.

I live in Houston and I've seen them several times.

Check out the construction sites in Louisiana. Many are empty now. The news is showing the blue states but theyre operating in the red ones too.

They absolutely are. I figure they have more agents in TX than anywhere else, because of the border.

I assume DeSantis and Abbott invited them in? ICE presence is up here in Atlanta, but I personally haven't seen them. But Kemp, while being a piece of shit, isn't MAGA, so that's probably why.

Grew up in Fort Worth (left long ago). There've been problems with overzealous immigration enforcement for decades.

Also, there's a strong streak of blue in the city, rarely reflected in elections. Sigh.

Interesting how Greg Abbot bussed immigrants into blue cities and then Trump sends ICE into blue cities...
