It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation. Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Anyone that truly believes this needs to STFU. Every revolution seemed impossible until it happened. Study revolutions. Engage in mutual aid. Ffs at the very least join a union. If you wanna be defeated and do nothing, fine, but keep it to yourself.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...
