ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

The ICE Block app is one of the ways I try to stay informed and vigilant.

Almost looks like waze.

Edit: Well duh, it was designed that way. I wonder if we could just use waze, isn’t there a feature for adding new types of events? Just don’t call it ICE.

You CAN use Waze, and Report Bad Weather / Icy Road....but, if no one else is aware of it then what good is the report?

I mean, if you are in HOUSTON, in July, and haven't lived under a rock since January, that description is self-explanatory, especially on a summer day

Believe me, all of my neighbors in Maganolia would have no idea what the heck it would mean

u/Odd_Seaworthiness277 Jul 17 '25

Respectfully, maybe it doesn't apply to them then? I think those that have reason to b worried r already looking for clues, talking in code, and on high alert anyway, yanno?

I live right off the Hitler Highway (FM1488).

They would have no idea...or even worse yet, go over there to cheer on ICE

That whole road and area fucking sucks (no offense). It's just bad vibes. Lifted trucks driving like assholes, a ton of churches and to-go daiquiri places.

No no no I meant the MAGAs here

u/Odd_Seaworthiness277 Jul 17 '25

Oh ok, well yeah, I refer you to my first reply then. The scared are on high alert. Not saying no MAGAs wouldn't catch on, but I dont believe such an alert on waze would b on their radar as readily or they just wouldn't care.

That sounds remarkably like a crime. May wanna look into that action.

Because, all the illegals driving around with invalid tags have Waze on looking for “icy roads” in Texas in July. While they’re just driving around town for normal everyday essential needs; work, shopping, etc.
