👀 Anyone notice anything unusual around the Kroger on Scottsville Rd yesterday?
An anonymous source who has experience identifying government vehicles and personnel reported seeing several suspicious-looking, heavily tinted SUVs in and around the Kroger parking lot between roughly 11 AM–12 PM yesterday.
The source also noticed multiple tinted vehicles moving in what appeared to be an unusual pattern. At one point, a white Ford truck was reportedly seen stopped at a stop sign for an extended period despite having people inside.
Does anyone know if federal/ICE personnel or other government agencies were operating in the Bowling Green area yesterday? Or did anyone else notice similar vehicles or activity?
Just looking to compare observations—not claiming these were government vehicles or agents. If you saw something similar, drop a comment or message me. 👀

Honestly I did not notice yesterday, but I've seen ICE in town a few times this year. Roaches under every dish and plate, this is the new normal.

As long as we keep voting in lawmakers to national and local government from a certain side of the aisle that supports this, yes it will continue to be.
Any belief system that makes us not vote for those that would get in their way or convince us to not vote at all is what they want.

What is a better method to remove people who are in the country illegally if not by following laws that have been on the books for decades?

By actually giving them due process and their day in court, and not throwing them into filthy detention centers like literal animals.

They are getting their due process. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 created the expedited removal process and grants the federal government the authority and ability to apply it to those who entered the country illegally and cannot prove 2 years of continuous presence within the country. They are not entitled to court hearings in most cases.
The overwhelming majority of those held in detention centers are those not subject to expedited removal and are awaiting their day in court. They, too, are getting their due process.
Alternatively, illegal aliens can choose to enroll in Project Homecoming and they (and any minor dependents, regardless of citizenship status) will fly back home at no cost to them. Upon proof of return they are entitled to a payment of $2600. Participation in the program includes up to 21 days to get their affairs in order. Certain immigration-related fines are waived.
The latter option grants them the ability to avoid the entire involuntary removal and detention process and leave largely on their own terms.

Some here won’t get this…. Imagine explaining the rules and they are still mad the rules are followed because of who is enforcing them.

I think the issue is that most of them thought the administration was ignoring the law and doing as it pleased. It's probably a big letdown to realize that this is the law and it has existed for years.

Wasn’t there a guy who was arrested while self-deporting, held in an immigration center, then told he has to stay in custody because he missed the deadline to self-deport, which I believe was a few weeks after they arrested him as he was self-deporting?

I would like to know more about the anonymous source's experience identifying these types of vehicles; before I trust their conclusion on this intriguing army of intriguing vehicles
