In the New Trump Era, the Proud Boys Are 'Not Apologizing Anymore'

“It might appear that the Proud Boys and our other extremist groups have sort of lost their power and dwindled out. I think that the pardons will make them more emboldened, but I also think that the campaign of political violence that they were on in Trump’s first term is now part and parcel of Trump’s administration...They’re going to be waiting in the wings for whatever battle Trump decides to send them on. But for now, Trump doesn’t need them. Trump has his own forces.”

"There are indications some of the most radical Proud Boys are moving to join those forces...To carry out Trump’s mass deportation project, the Department of Homeland Security has launched an ICE recruitment drive accompanied by a social media push that has included nationalist themes and even imagery associated with online white supremacists. The extremist 'standard' Proud Boys chapters, which maintain a presence on the encrypted social network Telegram, have taken notice."

"On Aug. 12, a Telegram account for the Cape Fear Proud Boys in North Carolina posted ICE recruiting materials from the DHS X page along with its own note urging followers to sign up...'An ad like this attracts exactly the type of man ICE needs,' the post said. 'The ICE hiring window is still open…Wanna deport illegals with your absolute boys?'...The post concluded with a link to the ICE jobs page."

This WILL end, and when it does, I want FULL RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and PRISON TIME for them all. ICE agents, you cannot hide forever. I recommend that you watch the film "Munich" and ponder what lengths some will be willing to go to in the future to bring the full weight of justice to your doors.

If you are in ICE now, quit. IF you don't, you WILL eventually be arrested, tried, convicted and punished to the full extent of the law. You know you're doing wrong (or you would NOT be hiding your faces and crying about it). You have a closing window to get out and avoid the permanent stain and dishonor that is coming down the tracks for all of those who stay on.

Don't say you weren't warned. And don't EVER say you were 'just following orders'.

Also claims to be a devout Christian. Huh, Jeff? Thought so! You can come out of hiding now, BTW.
