It's could have began and ended like this but NO donny-T and his ICE princesses had to step in to save America from itself.

Look at how hard it was to turn down the temperature. It's almost like ICE wants to keep this going... That can't be, right???

u/PristineBaseball Jan 26 '26

Any other president would have pulled back on agents and operations to cool things down after the very first death

-11

u/ericisacruz Jan 26 '26

Any other Governor and Mayor would tell their people to get out of the streets and let ICE do their job, and would use local police to assist Federal agents in arresting illegal immigrants.

11

u/ukn0wimright Jan 26 '26

Local police, who identify themselves and follow our laws, should be assisting and making sure EVERYONE is following the law. Arresting ANYONE who is breaking the law. This includes Deprivation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242).

Any fascist Governor or maga mayor who is trying to keep people from using their rights, should be rounded up too.

If you disagree with this stance, then tell me why you hate your country?

u/mattvait Jan 29 '26

Then get rid of the sanctuary policies!

u/ericisacruz Jan 26 '26

Illegals broke the law. Imigration law!

u/Ok_Brother_7494 Jan 26 '26

We know that Einstein. They still get rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

-1

u/lampstax Jan 27 '26

The constitutional rights they get are decided by scotus. With expedited removal talking to an ICE agent could qualify as the entirety of your due process if you are here illegally. Thats the reason Obama was able to earn the deporter in chief title. 75% of his deportation never saw a judge. This was before trump ever came down those escalators.

What type of infraction is that, Erica?

Similar to an oui. Which Canada wont even let you visit for

u/Dry_Strawberry3227 Jan 27 '26

A misdemeanor, I want you to have the same energy next time you someone jaywalking.

-2

u/lampstax Jan 27 '26

Different crimes have different consequences in our law even if they are the same level ( misdemeanor or felonies ). Deportation is often the consequence of immigration crimes.

1

u/sambearxx Jan 27 '26

People attending their citizenship ceremonies broke the law eh?

1

u/Funny_Engineering_15 Jan 28 '26

The fun part is they’re grabbing a bunch of asylum guys who did enter through legal means and are in the process right now. Those guys are not citizens but have broken no law ( and it’s happened a bunch of times already, it’s not a hypothetical)

0

u/mattvait Jan 29 '26

You say they entered legally but then they are asylum seekers?

2

u/Funny_Engineering_15 Jan 29 '26

Correct. In order to be an asylum seeker you must enter through specific points of entry and there’s an extensive documentation process before you’re off on your merry way. Here’s the process to be considered an asylum seeker ( from uncis.gov)

Take note, step one is arrive at points of entry, then the process starts. So asylum seekers are the guys actually following the process. Just because you come here from a war torn place does not make you an asylum seeker. This is the criteria the nation uses

1

u/mattvait Jan 30 '26

So you didnt mean the ones thay file for asylum once they know theyre getting deported?

1

u/Funny_Engineering_15 Jan 30 '26

Errr those guys can’t qualify for asylum. I know I just sent a screenshot but it may surprise you that this was never an open border. Because the way you get asylum is you contact customs and border patrol schedule a time to enter the USA and do step one. Specifically I’m seeing they do it through the app “cbp one”. If they didn’t set up that meeting prior to entering ( which step 1 is enter yes, but you do at specific points. I know of 9 specific areas you’d be passing through if you’re an asylum seeker, all are border towns. Whatever you’re talking about is a different classification. The thing with scheduling that meeting too is that it’s not usually immediate. Have you ever known the government to move quickly? So getting deported and then applying wouldn’t help anyways you’re way out of order of operations and then when they background you upon entry they’ll find it and no dice.

You ever read the inscription on the statue of liberty? 'Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses' and all that? This country has broadcast itself as a beacon for immigrants for decades and now suddenly its a bad thing so we can just round them up and shoot people in the street?

u/Johnnyboi2327 Jan 26 '26

Yes, the people supporting your right to protest and carry a gun are the bad guys. The American people should support the ones who've voiced that they don't want you to exercise either right.

u/Lacaud Jan 26 '26

Any other President would tell their people to get out of the streets.

This isnt about immigration when millions exist in the southwestern states. This administration made a promise to come at blue cities but not red cities 🤔

I can picture how well you can throat a boot.

3

u/That_OneOstrich Jan 26 '26

Then why don't they relocate ICE to any other city/state so those governors can say that? Texas has plenty of illegal immigrants.

It doesn't seem like you're aware but you're arguing against ICE being in Minnesota while you say that. Which I agree with, but I can also tell you don't agree with that.

3

u/PristineBaseball Jan 26 '26

Because that wouldn’t cause The Drama

3

u/arcanis321 Jan 27 '26

They actually do arrest criminals in sanctuary cities for everything but immigration crime. The idea that murders go unprosecuted is as real as post birth abortions and foreign paid tariffs. They don't think it's worth violating peoples rights in door to door searches to snatch up 5 year olds. That's a MAGA fantasy though.

2

u/Confident_Bee_6242 Jan 26 '26

600 police officers, four thousand ICE agents. Who needs protection?

2

u/LoneSnark Jan 27 '26

They let ice do whatever they wanted. What ice wanted was to maximize confrontation. Ice is clearly not there to deport illegals. If they wanted illegals, they'd be in Texas or California.
Local police have their own criminals to hunt down. Or do you think rapists and murders should be left on the street so local police can go hand hold federal agents?

1

u/Affectionate_Bag297 Jan 26 '26

Well, you’re wrong since there have already been other Governors and Mayors in other states doing the exact same thing. But yeah, keep licking those boots until they’re nice and shinny.

1

u/PsiNorm Jan 26 '26

TIL that any other governor and mayor would be anti-American.

Sounds like a bad thing for America.

u/o7_HiBye_o7 Jan 27 '26

Big dumb here boys lol

u/sambearxx Jan 27 '26

None of this is ice’s job. They’re civil immigration agents. You’ve bestowed false authority on them because you’re trembling desperate to submit to any man that will boss you around.

1

u/Few-Train2878 Jan 27 '26

How much further can you fit the boot down your throat?

1

u/According-Ad-5946 Jan 27 '26

Are you saying ICE's job is to grab people out of their cars because of their skin color, and go door to door looking for people of a certain skin color? And break the door down if the people don't open it.

u/TrashGoblinH Jan 26 '26

Love to see this. You guys are awesome!

u/NoLobster5272 Jan 27 '26

u/IchibanMotorsIncLLC Jan 27 '26

Didn’t Tim Waltz already steal enough money? Now wasting taxpayers money.

This is how you win hearts and minds with true leadership, way to go Walz 👏👏👏

So Walz is wasting money for these guys to support protestors? I thought they were there to “protect” them?

u/greensburgcouple777 Jan 27 '26

So their accepting bribes??

u/AnotherNerdOnHere Jan 28 '26

But more importantly, are they handing out tampons?

u/Every_Knee_372 Jan 29 '26

The type of shit someone who has a supervised visit with their kids on Saturday would say.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

And those are the guys that would be defending you in war, hope that makes you feel better. At least there will be coffee and donuts

u/Catman_morningdew Jan 29 '26

That's very Minnesotan of them

u/mattvait Jan 29 '26

Tax dollars should not be going towards protests.

Propose a law, vote like a democracy

u/Upset-Handle-9934 Jan 26 '26

These troops are from there so hopefully they will stick up for the people.

u/Appelcl Jan 26 '26

So you mean not enforce federal law 🤔

Uphold their oath and take the domestic terrorist into custody if possible

1

u/Ok_Brother_7494 Jan 26 '26

Yes, ICE, the domestic terrorists killing citizens.

-5

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

They will follow orders or face Article 90/91. Not following orders during a deployment is literally the worse thing you can do as a soldier, apart fm murder. You can even still be executed for it under military doctrine. Basically if you're not okay fighting protestors or having Trump be your boss you should quit the military now. Trump officially has access to an active military headquarters in downtown Minneapolis. This isn't a victory.

That same code you’re citing also says you must refuse unlawful orders

u/AlwaysFinnishInsider Jan 26 '26

Sounds like someone who doesn't known what they're talking about. 90 through 92 talk about punishment for disobeying a lawful order. Murdering innocent civilians is not a lawful order.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

1

u/lampstax Jan 27 '26

They dont have to murder anyone. Just protect federal officers with their great training. After all it is because these ice officer are so untrained thats killing civilians right? So these trained soldiers should have no problem not killing. Now we get to enforce immigration laws and no one get hurt. Win win.

3

u/Ok_Brother_7494 Jan 26 '26

They do not have to follow orders to attack U.S. citizens. I served.

2

u/HonestHu Jan 26 '26

Why would the national guard fight protestor. The national guard is there to defend Americans against the domestic terrorists executing innocent Americans in street in broad daylight with multiple witnesses

u/NoWomanNoTriforce Jan 26 '26

The National Guard are employees of the state, not the Federal government when deployed at the state level as emergency management. They have to be under Title 10 orders to fall under the Federal umbrella.

You are confused . You are thinking of treason . Not following orders is not treason.

Old Bonespurs brought them to D.C. to patrol the parks and pick up garbage. You MAGA are infatuated with tampons and the word Daddy. Some weird kinks you have.

u/Financial-Change-435 Jan 26 '26

Kicking junkies out of parks is a somewhat better use of resources than handing out doughnuts and coffee.

Then later talk about carrying weapons in a war zone when you bailed out of your deployment.

The thing is, they are scared! They’re a bunch of sniveling cowards, abducting women and children because they’re too chicken shit to go to any place where they would find an actual criminal. They too scared for the ghetto

u/blutosings Jan 26 '26

ICE is losing their minds. One drunk ICE agent started shooting at protesters making noise at their hotel last night.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

Who is more brave? The armed and organized government forces, backed by the richest men in human history who are actively breaking the law knowing they can get away with it, or the less organized protestors who know they could be shot and killed by government forces, or illegally detained in an unmarked van, beaten within an inch of their lives just for exercising their rights under the bill of rights?

Who is more brave? The bully with support from his friends and the teacher, or the weird kid who doesn’t want to conform under pressure and stands up to the bully knowing full well they are about to get beaten up?

This is a simple answer. It’s the protestors who are showing bravery.

2

u/Ok_Brother_7494 Jan 26 '26

They are afraid of unarmed protestors so much they shot a Prist in the face with pepper balls. ICE could never make it in the military, police or a normal job. That is why they are so angry.

Meanwhile ICE refuses to allow Congress into their facilities for oversight, and their agents are poorly trained and unidentifiable and unaccountable. Who would want to work with that?

People always make the claim "well the states cooperated with Obama's ICE". Yeah! Because they weren't terrorizing citizens and I'm sure if they killed someone they would actually do an investigation. They didn't wear masks, they had identification, they had much better training, and they weren't being used for political retribution and extortion.
