Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper and Phyllis in sending the following message to the thousands of ICE agents who daily come with uniforms and masks and guns and clubs and bulletproof vests to assault harmless berry pickers and day laborers and cow milkers and legislators at the behest of narcissistic sadists:

“ICE Agent:

“Since you are ‘of’ us and not imported from another country, we wonder if you are sleeping well among us these days, and what do you tell your kids when they ask about your government job of forcefully breaking up their friends’ families and standing out by the school waiting to put handcuffs on the lady school bus driver?

“Do the kids watch you gear up as if you were heading out to rob Fort Knox instead of going over to grab somebody’s grandpa at the Home Depot parking lot?

“Do you think of all the rest of us as immigrant criminals, and just what country did your predecessors immigrate from since you do not appear to be Native Americans?

“As dutiful government workers we understand the importance of you doing whatever your bosses tell you to do and we hope to god they don’t tell you to ‘shoot somebody on 5th Avenue.’ But it could happen and if and when it does, you can always tell your kids that you heroically shot dangerous demonstrators from a local elderly living facility who were insisting that their SS benefits continue.

“So, ICE men, until we meet in person, and apparently we all will, there are a lot of dirty jobs for immigrants to do, but yours is probably the dirtiest.

“We do not wish you good luck with it.”
