People are already comparing ICE to J6 rioters. They did whatever they wanted for hours brutalizing people and trying to essentially overthrow our constitution until the national guard and actual police came through to finally put an end to it.

Think of this as a longer -even more agonizing version of that. Question is: are we closer to Trump rallying blocks from the Capitol, stage? Beating cops with flagpoles? Or imminent dispersal upon hearing the Guard is being called?
