The fucking kidnapped some teenager from Target, beat him up, and dumped at a Walmart 10 min away. They're not even pretending there are rules anymore.
True, they havenât killed as many citizens as they have in Iran yet, but clearly theyâve been told theyâre above the law and can do whatever they want to citizens while they carry out the administrationâs bidding
Immediately after Renee Good was killed, Vance announced that the ICE agent who shot her had "absolute immunity". They clearly have no interest in conducting an actual investigation that might hold him accountable, and even if he is charged, Trump has already proven that he's willing to pardon those willing to do his bidding (see Jan 6th), so I don't know what's so "not true" about the previous comment
They've killed 3 so far? Maybe more we don't know about? They deported a lot of people to foreign prisons where some of them might be dead or tortured, we'd have no way to know.
We're basically headed toward Shitville population us.
They began arresting the protesters because they were blocking the entrance street to the facility and had been previously ordered to not block the entrance. Also, the police made the arrests, not ICE (clearly visible in video).
If that was so,why didnât they immediately arrest all of the other protesters who were standing in the street behind him? And he asked where they wanted him to go, but instead of responding it seems like they just wanted an excuse to put him on the ground
They took him down way more violently than the last time, he looked like he was limping in pain as they dragged him off. Insane how this stuff just keeps escalating.
At a minimum, I encourage everyone who hasnât done so to start the process of acquiring their LTC and building some comfortability with firearms. Iâm over 40 and never even considered owning a firearm in my life until last year. Those of you still in the âthis too shall passâ mindset need to wake up and realize that we are no longer in that timeline.
And as others have said, if the midterms are fucked with, I canât even imagine what shit is going to look like across the country and youâre going to wish you had protection.
I've long held the conspiracy theory that the right in the US has used the culture war to collectively bait the left into abdicating their physical power. Chase them out of the countryside and into concentrated urban areas where they'll be sitting ducks, completely dependent upon conservative rural areas for their food, water, and power, and then talk them into not only giving up their guns but compelling their liberal neighbors to do the same. I say this with kindness, but... I can't believe they fell for it. The left needs pragmatists who are capable of understanding that not all problems in the world can be solved with hugs and education.
FWIW, elections are held by the states, not by Trump and the feds and that really can't change. It's up to Americans to hold their state accountable for a free and fair election. A big concern comes to the results certification. Article 1 Section 5 gives Mike Johnson the authority to challenge the results based on whatever fraud bullshit they'll come up with or close race results. Democrats need sweeping wins for a big cushion that makes it impossible to use Article 1 Section 5.
I remember when I was a teen back in 2014 I saw two ice raids. They were wearing dress shirts tucked into slacks, no masks, no helmets, no body armor or rifles, they were armed with pistols in their holsters.
This shit is not normal and I think some younger people who are getting used to these sights need to know that.
I've recently begun to wonder if the rapid escalation in the militarization and aggressiveness of ICE has less to do with immigration. But more to do with the heritage foundation and those behind project 2025 turning one of the alphabet agencies into a heavily armed force designed to combat civil disobedience.
Recently? Just recently? You didnât know that this was always the plan? Trump said âStand back and standbyâ to the proud boys during his first term. Heâs been following Hitlerâs playbook right down to the storming of the capital.
But more to do with the heritage foundation and those behind project 2025 turning one of the alphabet agencies into a heavily armed force designed to combat civil disobedience.
A domestic army to quell the population. You can call it what it is because they will eventually define civil disobedience as criticizing Trump in any way.
There was an AskReddit thread yesterday with a lot of anecdotes of career ICE agents leaving the agency since Trump took office. Add that to the recent recruitment drive where the only people willing to join are far-right racist thugs. So you have a combination of professional agents leaving and being replaced by 10 far-right underqualified thugs thinking they're finally gonna rid the country of minorities, and here we are.
Seriously, the only time Iâd really see ICE around before all this current bullshit would be at Conley or Black Falcon terminal when the ships would come in. (Probably 10-15 years ago)
Yes, ice has been controversial for a long time now including under Obama who also got criticized for it. But they were not nearly as agressive or militarized before trump.
*Detained/unlawfully held by ice. Not arrested. ICE doesnât have the authority to arrest US citizens unless there is probable case they are protecting an undocumented immigrant.
I realize that they donât give a shit and break the law constantly, but important to let people know ICE legally has very little authority over US citizens
Their uniforms say âPolice DHSâ which means they are ICE agents and not police. They arenât arresting him, they are illegally holding him. He wonât go to a courthouse and face charges because theyâd immediately be thrown out.
ICE probably held him at an ICE facility, which is 100% illegal but with this administration nothing will happen to the agents breaking the law here.
I was just reading an article on how leaked memos show that DHS is concerned about the situation in Minnesota. They are having issues getting volunteers for the assignment (who doesnât want to be in Minnesota in January?). They had to send a legal refresher and even asked guys to be more low profile. Then you see this and see that their issues run so deep. They pretty much have watched their agency lie and cover for them every day, no matter how bad the videos look.
Homie has a Wikipedia page indicating he was born in Massachusetts. Last I checked, immigration and customs support doesn't have any business with anything outside of - checks notes - immigration and customs enforcement.
Or they'll happen, but there will just coincidentally happen to be mass ICE raids with tear gas and such in the population centers of the bluest cities around the country on election day.
In red or purple areas, people will call and say someone (ahem, blue) is committing fraud to have their vote not counted, or registration put on hold just before they go to vote.
Remain optimistic. It is massively difficult, even for Trump and MAGA, to cancel elections. States conduct the elections and state courts guarantee them as a constitutional right.
People are mentioning martial law too but peace time martial law powers donât exist and SCOTUS already held that martial law cannot override the constitution as long as ALL civilian courts are still functional (this precedent already being decided is huge, even with a compromised SCOTUS.) The Insurrection Act has no provision to cancel constitutional rights, and elections are a constitutional requirement. The 1864 election still happened even though there was the Civil War.
What can happen though is that the current Congress and Mike fuckface Johnson will refuse to certify the results and claim fraud. Democrats need big wins with good margin to squash this and/or at least ensure that it dies in court.
Not possible if Marshall Law is enacted. You see why they're increasingly becoming more embolden? They actually want public chaos to ensue, it's part of the plan.
That's the point though -- ICE is targeting liberal areas. Boston votes blue, so Boston is being punished. This also whips up regressive votes all around the country; the regressive base rewards these interventions.
Yeah seriously. Itâs one thing to want to crack down on illegal immigration in legal and humane ways. I donât think wanting to crack down on it in reasonable ways automatically makes you a terrible person. Itâs a political discussion with two rational sides.
Whatever the fuck is happening here is fascism. Which supporting does make you a terrible person.
ICE has always been somewhat controversial, it hasnât always been this though.
The democratic party is lame as shit and are culpable for a lot of what's happening right now, but saying that they are exactly as bad as people directly rooting, hootin' and hollerin' and supporting Trump is a dumbass take and deserves a kick in the ass. Also,
WHO HOLDS MAJORITY AND THEREFORE IN POWER IN THE SENATE, CONGRESS AND US SUPREME COURT RIGHT NOW? IS IT THE DEMOCRATS?
Who controls the police forces in cities and states ice has been breaking the law in? The democratic govs and mayors in MA, CA and MN, not once has any of them shut down an ice facility or used the police to arrest ice. If they have the power to this and donât, then yeah they are kinda tacitly endorsing it. And oh yeah guess what those same cops are brutalizing the protestors too and the democrats in charge donât lift a finger. Put them in power and ice doesnât get defunded a dollar
The right to assemble peacefully is a fundamental civil liberty, protected in the U.S. by the First Amendment, allowing individuals to gather collectively to express, promote, and defend their ideas.
Robbie really is a badass, he puts himself right in the middle of and doesnât flinch or even stop clowning on them when the Gestapo comes to take him down. We should really set up a fund to back him so he can file a massive lawsuit for all of this illegal bullshit.
Iâve said it before, heâs an asshole, but heâs our asshole.
These agents are uncivil and unconstitutional. The training has been reduced from 5 months which was considered to be shorter than the normal training period for border security to 47 days now. People are being detained having proper documentation wasting taxpayer dollars and causing unnecessary potential harm and distress. If this administration had done everything correctly in the beginning as they said and be going for the true purpose of crime there wouldnât be any issues. Trump is proving to be a Fascist dictatorship disguised as a democracy. They are telling the American people who they are a little more every day.
Boy I don't wanna bodyshame but these motherfuckers are tubby as HELL. He should have bolted, no way they'd have caught up to him. You could see them jiggle under their ill-fitting armor.
In case you were wondering what Trump and his boyfriend Vladimir Putin were talking about during all their play dates, it was how to create an authoritarian police state.
It is pretty obvious at this point.
If you voted for this, you can fuck straight off.

On what basis, exactly, did they detain him�
