DHS is now posting 1950s-style Red Scare-esque propaganda posters on Twitter, calling on Americans to report people to ICE.

Another thread mentioned McCarthyism being back somewhat jokingly, but make no mistake; it's truly back. They're going to normalize using the term "invader" in order to normalize the perception among their base that it's the accurate way to describe immigration, to justify their use of the Foreign Enemies Act.

Report other ICE members to ICE.

I just read some journalists are working on a list of ICE employees. Could be useful for this…

Fucking fascists that are going to bitch about being called fascists for this.

McCarthyism, it's back and it's bad.

They didn't even make the McRib permanent!

It'd be a shame if they got a bunch of false reports

As a descendant of Powhatan, I feel like I should call and report every white person I come across.
