Same thing happened in Atlanta. Same deal. (People here used to joke... "I'm not black, and I'm not gay, but I live in Atlanta anyway.") "Aging boomer" pictures were even posted by some folks on my feed, so it apparently really was "a thing".
I guess the organizers figured that if ICE were around, they weren't going to hassle any geriatric white folks.

You got that right! Who would've thought that a country that rebelled against authoritarian rule 250 years ago would now be so in danger of embracing it again! Wake up America!
You don't really believe this, do you? I know you don't like the guy because you have a different view of politics. But you don't actually think he's going to become a king and / or try to run for a third term or something silly like that?
And then there's this, from the "mostly peaceful" leftoids...
‘No Kings’ Protester Reportedly Says He’d Kill White House Deputy Chief Of Staff Stephen Miller
A protester at Saturday’s “No Kings” rally in Seattle was recorded telling a reporter he apparently wanted to kill White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
Dozens of protests against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies took place Oct. 18 nationwide. Journalist Brandi Kruse posted the video of the protester being interviewed while holding a sign which read, “Would You Like To Kill Nazis [With] Me?” (RELATED: Rachel Maddow Calls Anti-ICE Rioters Peaceful Despite Videos Showing Clashes With Law Enforcement)
“Who are you gonna kill?” Kruse asked in the video. “Nazis,” the man responded.
“Who do you define as a Nazi?” the reporter followed up, to which the man asked, “What do you mean?”
“In this context, who is a Nazi?” Kruse asked. “Stephen Miller is a Nazi,” the protestor responded.
“You’re going to kill Stephen Miller,” the reporter repeated, apparently stunned, before the protester replied, “If I had the chance, yeah, I would.”
Kruse later reported the FBI was investigating the man’s threats. Kruse also posted a video showing another protester who said killing Miller would be “justifiable.”
Miller and his family were forced to move from their home in Arlington, Virginia after a being targets of a harassment campaign. The intense effort included written messages like, “Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “No white nationalism,” and “Trans rights are human rights” on public sidewalks near his residence, along with posting flyers that reportedly listed his home address.
Another “No Kings” protester said that for her birthday, she wanted to wake up the next morning to read Trump’s obituary, according to a video posted Saturday by The Maine Wire.
“You’re wishing that President Trump is dead?” the reporter asked her in the video. The protestor replied, “Yes. Absolutely.”
At separate “No Kings” event in Chicago, a man reportedly urged attendees to shoot U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
“You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out,” the man, who stood in front of a banner for the Progressive Labor Party, apparently said. “The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.”
Another “No Kings” protester in Chicago seemingly made a “neck shot” gesture at counter-protesters who unveiled a flag honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, according to a video originally posted to Instagram before it was reposted on X by reporter Colin Rugg. Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 whie debating college students at Utah Valley University.
ICE facilities in Chicago and Portland, Oregon have recently become the scene of multiple riots as opposition to the agency’s operations targeting illegal immigrants intensified. Some of the rioters in Chicago called for ICE agents to be arrested or shot in, according to a video posted online during one of the riots.
Two people were killed during a Sept. 24 shooting at the ICE office in Dallas, including the gunman taking his own life. There were two previous incidents where shots were fired at ICE or Border Patrol facilities in Texas since July 4, 2025. Ten people were charged with attempted murder in connection with the former incident.
Most recently, the FBI is investigating a hunting stand set up near Palm Beach International Airport which had a line of sight to where Trump would board or deplane Air Force One.
A survey released in April 2025 by Rutgers University and the Network Contagion Research Institute showed 56% of “left-of-center” respondents believed assassinating President Donald Trump, who survived two attempts on his life during the 2024 presidential campaign, would be at least partially justifiable.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Don't believe anything you read and only half the things you think you see.

You have no clue ? Death threats are made against them, their families, they are doxed. Just for doing their job for our country. The ones doing it are masked. Do you have a point ?

No, I don't think he's aiming to actually be called "King Donald"... but I am convinced he wishes to be looked upon as some sort of "royalty". Goes well with the narcissist complex he has in spades.
In regards to a third term, I'll be surprised if Trump's health allows him to make it all the way through his second term.

Pelosi has been in Congress for 37 years. But go ahead and worry about the guy with term limits.
lol, so you think that someone that has been in office not even 5 years compared to someone 37 years is more to blame? Had we had strong representation and fair dealings with other countries perhaps we would need to be where we are.

Originally posted by Patrick: You think when ICE "accosts" someone, that it ends there? Again, if you believe it's only "murderers, rapist and pedos" that ICE agents have arrested, then this makes your entire argument "rather stupid".
Please, give an example where that has ever happened if/when it hasn't been requested.
ICE is going after known criminals. If in the process they find other people also in the country illegally, ICE will arrest them too. That is their job and it is literally their name Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Are you so ignorant that you don't know that is their entire purpose?
Your second statement is so dumb it is funny. So you have to admit that your monarch DOES have the power to dissolve parliament. When are you going to learn that your entire government rests atop your monarch. Even the Magna Carta had to be signed by your monarch to have any legal authority. Who do you think your military swears allegiance to?
While the use of royal prerogative is rare, it does happen such as in 1999 when Queen Elizabeth vetoed a bill that would have allowed a military strikes in Iraq without her approval: https://www.firstpost.com/f...-in-1999-589681.html
Yeah, "known criminals". Of course. Just the worst of the worst. No one else is bothered. Never is an innocent person detained. Never is an innocent citizen arrested.

From your own link...

The palace said royals only use their veto if they are advised to by cabinet members or civil servants.

Anything else you'd care to "correct" me on?
You have no clue how the justice system works. Innocence is not determined at the time of arrest. It is determined in court. An arrest only requires probable cause. An arrest does not even mean a person will be booked or even charged with a crime.
What is there to "correct"? I posted fact after fact that your monarch has more than token power. Your replies are pitiful. By your same reasoning, President Trump is not a "king" either because he is advised by his cabinet. Uno Reverso!
Maybe before you go accusing someone who was elected of being a king, you should look at doing something about your own king.
Just read his story, all one sided, told by him. He attempted to stop ICE agents from doing their job. According to his own statements, he tried to stop the ICE agents and he was put on the ground and held there when he tried to interrupt the ICE officers who are continuously threated and attacked. The bruises and injuries he claims are easily explained but, we'll see how this works out, he's suing for $50 Million. He's 79 years old, got too close to the action and was considered a threat. He has a heart condition and is very likely to be taking blood thinners (a guess on my part but, very likely), with blood thinner medication, bruising becomes an everyday event with blood thinners. The slightest contact normally results in major bruising. He claims broken ribs, but has yet to provide any proof. Maybe he does, maybe not. If he does, was that injury caused by his ICE encounter or something else earlier.
Very possibly another exaggerated story put out by a WOKE Press and supported by WOKE people, both US and foreign WOKESTERS.
Putting this up as proof of mass arrests of Americans, confrontations or ICE caused injuries is laughable. But, it's the one example you came up with whether there's any truth in it is questionable.
Even based on the biased reporting of several "News" shows, the vast majority of US citizens being arrested, handcuffed and hauled into confinement are those who are attempting to interfere with ICE doing their jobs, attacking ICE and going into riot type activities, shooting fireworks and throwing bricks at ICE agents. Can't blame ICE for protecting themselves and reacting to the threats now can we.............................

He can't. Hence, the insults. So typical of the leftoids. Run out of logic, resort to emotions. Nothing new here.

Are these ICE agents little girls? LOL... you're too much, I give up!
I'm guessing you don't ever consider the possibility of a concealed weapon? Probably never faced a riot or crowd threatening you with bodily harm which most of the ICE agents have... Definitely a FAFO situation.
