    Here was the response to Roan’s comments:

    The next day, in a statement to TMZ, DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

    In a separate event…

    In September, Hacks actor Hannah Einbinder closed her Emmys speech by saying, “Go Birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine!” In a response given to TMZ, DHS’s McLaughlin issued a statement saying rhetoric like Einbinder’s is “inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement,” which she claimed was “facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.” No data backs up McLaughlin’s claim about a dramatic increase in anti-ICE violence, per Oregon Public Broadcasting.

    “As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans,” McLaughlin continued.

    Yes, people saying “Fuck ICE” are fanning the flames. It sure isn’t all the borderline legal and straight up illegal things being done by the regime. Couldn’t be.

    Any criticism of fascism means you’re threatening violence against innocent brownshirts.

    Say FDT? Congrats, you’re going to jail for making an attempt on the president’s life.

      It’s true in the same way that the united states killed a bunch of pedos in Nagasaki. When you engage in mass indiscriminate violence you will manage to hit a few people who are universally detested

    Wasn’t she starting out this year gaslighting her fans and blaming them for associating her with politics even though she voluntarily had a public crash-out against Kamala over Palestine?

    I just can’t see her as the one people should rally behind since she seems to only want to engage with politics when it suites her, not whenever its genuinely important.

    They always like to say these idiots are law enforcement. Heck even our law enforcement needs more training hours to be in charge of legally killing someone on the clock.

    If a few more wealthy celebrities take this kind of radical action, I’m sure things will change.

    Our departments in charge of national security are more on social media than actually keeping Americans safe. Like no one wants to hear about ICE’s opinions on pop stars!
