> Authorities said the suspect, Joshua Jahn, searched his phone for tracking apps, including ICEBlock, before opening fire on the facility from a rooftop.

Thats weird because you dont need iceblock to know that ICE is at an ICE facility

Its for when they’re spotted in neighborhoods

dumb rationale, dumb response

Jahn wasn't a big thinker. He used an iron-sighted old surplus rifle to shoot at vans that were filled with detainees rather than employees.

If there is a mass violent insurgency against law enforcement an app that could facilitate all that might be targeted. News at 11.

Good.

When ICE are targeting people without valid warrants and without providing due process, ICE should be met with resistance.

People should not be kidnapped, even if by an officer. I’m not sure why you aren’t understanding this.
