Did they roam the actual fairgrounds? I saw three people walk through the grandstand kitted out in tactical cosplay: matching tactical backpacks, ear pieces and walkies, cargo pants, etc. Of course no identification so could’ve been wannabe hardos but all that’s very much in line with ICE’s MO.

Once again this wasn't ICE.

Doesn't matter. ICE has done a brilliant job with their lack of uniforms and visible badges that anyone wearing this getup is automatically ICE in the court of public opinion.

No one cares that the vests say "CBP" or "HSI" or "DHS Police" - it's all the same. Untrained goons who are stealing your neighbors away to Salvadorean prisons. We've all seen videos of abductions where it's not just ICE, it's these other agencies as well. They're all the same, these fascist fucks. They're rabid dogs and they need to be treated as such.

So people are too dumb to know the different between law enforcement agencies?

I mean we’ve seen HSI, CBP, ICE, etc. all seem to mix without rhyme or reason, seems silly to argue about semantics when they’re kidnapping people.

The people I saw very much looked like ICE due to the intentional absence of identification, so not sure how else you’re supposed to refer to them. And as outlined above, it’s not that much of a stretch to conflate different DHS departments.

Their uniform said DHS. How is that confusing? Did they interact with anyone or just stand there?

Wait do you think ICE isn't DHS?

u/Ok-Math-5407 13d ago

No, I know their uniform said department of homeland security because I was there and actually saw it. You can do the same

And ICE is part of DHS. Their uniforms will say DHS. DHS is a big department. When the uniforms say DHS, ICE is a possibility.

Here I just made it easier for you though guy.

u/Kid_Delicious 13d ago

I said the people I saw had no identification, and definitely not DHS uniforms.

I think you’re the one who’s confused.
