    “Budget-Chicken’s offending Reddit post was on the r/RioGrandeValley channel. Titled “Join me in protest against ICE,” the post is just a few sentences long, calling on “neighbors, family and community” to “be witnesses and to spread awareness” by protesting a Border Patrol station.”

    “The Rio Grande Valley Sector Operations Center issued the following warning to its agents: “It is recommended that all agents wear their ballistic armor, utilize long arms, and if possible, work in groups.””

    Seems like they go through an awful lot of effort to justify their own insane overreactions to simple calls for action. They treat everything like an imminent terrorist threat anyway, so why even bother with writing the report? You just end up with millions of analyses detailing people’s Reddit histories. Great use of resources…

      Reddit banned the account. Can’t tell if its for the users own good or because they don’t want them becoming a local celebrity over it.
