A guy walked in yesterday with the perfect misanthropic t-shirt. Somewhat concur.

A good American citizen, Laura Berlin, put out an interactive map out, Who is profiting from ICE?
At this point, it’s clear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been taking legally questionable and violent action across the country to arrest, detain and deport thousands of people. But as easy as it may be to point the finger at a single evil boogeyman, ICE depends on a massive infrastructure of individuals, companies and suppliers to achieve its goals.
Laura Berlin, a Texas mom with a background in nonprofit communications, decided to create an interactive Google Map called “Who’s Profiting from ICE?” In it, she pinpoints the hundreds of businesses and corporations across the country that have reportedly been complicit in enacting ICE’s mass deportation campaign, along with a short description of how each company retains ties with the agency.
Berlin gathers most of the information on the website from government databases that are accessible to the general public — so there are no big secrets to reveal. “In a handful of cases, information comes from other sources, like credible media reports or job listings,” Berlin tells me. “In the very rare event I receive a tip that I can’t verify with public records, I reach out to the company to give them a chance to respond before adding a listing.”
Good to know. Interesting to see how global the co-operation is, click on the map link above and see.
And what does the government think about her site?
The U.S. government labeled Berlin’s website a “tool for domestic terrorism” in a February intelligence bulletin — a pretty serious accusation.
Of course they do. If you don't support our current regime's draconian and inhumane agenda you are terrorists.
