"Everyone is welcome here...except ICE," declare signs slapped onto a vacant storefront in downtown Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle neighborhood. Other signs on the same former restaurant space at 7929 Norfolk Avenue aim to notify illegal immigrants of their rights when confronted by U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents. "We have the right to deny I.C.E. access to private areas without a judicial warrant," the welcome notice adds. The papers have the logo of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center's "Know Your Rights" campaign on them. It is not immediately clear if the sign posters had permission from the property owner to stick these on here.

"Everyone is welcome here...except ICE" signs on vacant Bethesda storefront declare
"Everyone is welcome here...except ICE," declare signs slapped onto a vacant storefront in downtown Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle neighborhood.

"We have the right to deny I.C.E. access to private areas without a judicial warrant," the welcome notice adds.

I'm a gonna call ICE ICE, baby AND 311 for gas powered leaf blowers every chance I get!
ReplyDeleteICE supporter here. Thank you for your service.
ReplyDeleteICE :)
DeleteYeah, protect criminals over law abiding citizens. #thisiswhativotedfor
ReplyDeleteAnd go after criminals.. not many of the people they’re going after now. “Ooh, traffic ticket.. following too closely”
DeleteDumb ass liberals
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a long hot summer.
ReplyDeleteICE might be able to make it cooler :)
DeleteWhy would an illegal alien be welcome but not a law enforcement officer? Makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteHey , have you heard of the Bill of Rights?
Deletehn - Maybe the greatest post I've ever read.
DeleteYou lack common sense.
Deletethe left makes 0 sense.
DeleteHow many of the individuals who posted the sign can actually name 280 different countries...? Exactly. #zero
ReplyDelete“ There are 195 countries in the world. This includes the 193 member states of the United Nations, plus two non-member observer states: the Holy See (Vatican City) and Palestine.” Cheers!
DeleteSo then, elrich inflates his numbers by making up countries & cultures thus proving my point!
DeletePerhaps the commenter meant to type 180 countries?
DeleteJust like you.
DeleteIt must be the "The Inner Sanctum" of the MoCo sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteLaw abiding? Hah!
ReplyDeleteICE doesn't seem to concern itself with due process or the Bill of Rights.
Law abiding CITIZENS. Hah!
DeleteYes, that’s the problem
DeleteYou got that one right!
DeleteThey brought these people into this country in violation of the democratically legislated laws passed by Congress and against the wishes of a majority of US citizens. I guess we know who the real threats to democracy are.
ReplyDeleteYour comment makes little sense. So many did, and have been following, various Federal programs authorizing their entry. Got it you don’t like it.
DeleteLiberals are triggered, (and violent), as the laws are black & white and cry me a river once the deportation order has been signed. The majority is not what 12:43 thinks it is. Check out who the majority is on immigration on your second favorite network CNN.
ReplyDeleteOpens comments.. turns off Internet for the day..
ReplyDeleteSeems like it. Mines fine
Delete"*They* brought these people into this country" (emphasis mine.) Come again? To which "They" do you refer? Are you fantasizing a modern-day Underground Railroad, the role of Harriet Tubman played variously by the Clintons, Obamas, Nancy Pelosi, et al. in this evening's performance?
ReplyDeleteDig deep in your sofa cushions, find the remote, and click away from Fox. It's burning a ghost into both your TV screen and your amygdala.
6:05: were you around for the last 4 years of Biden’s open border policy? Your gaslighting grows so fucking weary.
Delete6:05 - yes, agree
Delete“They” are the leftists who were deciding policy while Biden was eating his oatmeal. Policy being ignoring immigration laws and throwing the borders open for whomever wanted to walk over. But you know that you’re just being cute.
ReplyDelete....and often the illegals just assume we all here are sympathetic to their 'plight. ' Just yesterday a panhandling Hispanic was holding a sign that read 'You treat your dogs better than us.'
ReplyDeleteI responded 'Our dogs get their shots.'
.'
Where did you see this panhandler? On the news? What location
DeleteUnder the bridge in SS on Georgia by the DC line, fwiw
Delete10:02, re location: forget to mention the guy was smoking weed too.
DeleteJust remember folks, the MoCo Council didn't vote themselves in, we did. That's a collective we obviously. I've never, ever voted for a single member of this corrupt cabal. More broadly, Jazzy Crockett, Omar and all these total loons in office are doing what they're doing and sleeping fine at night. Again, the voters put them there. Don't want them? Vote them out. Marc Elrich was just reelected to another 4 year term. You understand that, right?
ReplyDeleteMany hard working people, ahem, out of the county, are helping our farmers — about 40 percent of farm workers are undocumented.
ReplyDelete“In 2020–22, 32 percent of crop farmworkers were U.S. born, 7 percent were immigrants who had obtained U.S. citizenship, 19 percent were other authorized immigrants (primarily permanent residents or green-card holders), and the remaining 42 percent held no work authorization.”
By 8:44's logic, we should accept the bad ones because we need the good ones. Tell that to the victims families who would still be here if Biden didn't open the floodgates.
Delete6:07 jist read what you wrote :D
Delete8:44 all our existing 'farm equipment' isn't obsolete, it's just dormant because we make it easy.
DeleteTom Homan, Pam Bondi and others are well aware of what's going on in MoCo. Do not be fooled in thinking otherwise. To say that a new sheriff is in town is a gross understatement.
ReplyDeleteLet's get ICE in moco :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!
DeleteICE ICE BABY!!!!
