ICE in Minnesota

For the Public Announcement challenge

By Lana V LynxPublished 44 minutes ago β€’ 1 min read
Statement by Alex Pretti's parents

Do not stand in the way of ICE agents!

Do not observe them, do not record them,

Do not protest their presence in your streets!

They are there to help secure our border

With Canada. Deep on the southern state side,

In the city of Minneapolis.

And to keep those brother-marrying aliens

In check, scared, or better deported

Back to where they came from.

ICE is better equipped than you.

They have guns, pepper spray, masks,

Shields, and toned vehicles.

Like gray astronauts on ice

They command the space.

Do what they say,

Do not stand in the way,

Lest you get three bullets

In your back or your face.

They are just doing their job

Of extracting voter registration rolls

For their Dear Leader not to lose midterms.
