They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads. Let that sink in and realize what they really are, because it’s not a force for immigration enforcement, it’s an army simping for Trump. They will be weaponized at a much greater scale in the future certainly.

    I thought the whole “missiles and warheads” thing was a debunked claim from a misunderstanding of less-lethal launchers and their ammunition. Rubber balls and teargas sorts of stuff.

    What they’re buying seems to be the same shit that any podunk small-town PD has been buying for the last 15 years with their budget surplus. Which is a problem in and of itself, but it’s not an escalation beyond what is unfortunately the norm.

    If they’re picking up heavy machine guns or Hellfire missiles, let us know.

    A mod should sticky a correction to this post if the OP doesnt make an edit themselves

    Reports that ICE purchased tomahawk missiles have since been corrected to have likely been a clerical error on an order form. OP themselves linked to reporting to this error in a comment below
