While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (acting under-color-of-law) arrest 680 free market workers across the confederate state of mississippi.  The raids take place on the first day that government-run public schools re-open.  The students arrive home to find their parents missing with no explanation.  ICE had made no provisions for the children’s supervision, safety or security.
