Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.
In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.
One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)
I wonder if ICE agents are paid a lot more than those people would be in other jobs having the same qualifications/experience etc, and that’s the reason why they stay on. Or some massive perks or something. Why isn’t there a mass exodus of ICE agents leaving? Or maybe there is and it’s not reported? There must be some attraction?
When people start shooting these Nazis you’ll see the rats leave the sinking ship rapidly.
The perk is rape. Lots of rape. These are unidentified and unaccountable thugs. For your safety, shoot them on sight.
You only agree to work for ICE if you’re a psychopath in the first place.
The massive perk is that they get to be cruel bastards and hate for a living.
I’m pretty much convinced they recruited all these thugs from alt-right groups and disgraced ex-police in the last few months. They don’t have uniforms or badges. They wear face masks and refuse to identify themselves. They needed a bunch of guys that had no problem with being cruel and hateful and they were right there ready to step up.
They probably just walk around downtown and recruit from whomever has a cut-off shirt and a swastika tattoo
yea these are most likely the same people who formed their own local militias and jerked off to fantasies of shooting protesters.
They have to. Where else would so many new ones come from? So many who are so unaware of rights and laws?
I hope he was hurt badly enough to not be able to go back to work any time soon.
So, Imma go back to my philosophy 101 argument structure days. Fill in the blank.
Premise 1. Racists should never feel safe being racists. Premise 2. Nobody willingly becomes an ICE agent without being a racist. Conclusion: Therefore, … ?
ICE should never feel safe, at any time, ever again. Make them NEED marines and NG cover every time they go out for one of their abduction raids.
Make waiting too long to quit the job ruin their lives, and the lives of anyone around them.
Anyone who fucks them, serves them coffee, gives them a loan, treats their injuries, or rents them a room at a coffin hotel, should be made to regret it.
Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.
ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it’s scary as fuck to watch the world’s most powerful state turn fascist.
To see the Canadian government start pushing bills on immigration that are similar to those put in place to allow all this to happen in the US is terrifying as well. We voted in hopes of fending off this fascist takeover and yet here we are with Drumpfkins next door and our own “left” cooking the country.
The citizens of the world are under fire everywhere from fascism and even Nazism. We all need to stand up and fight back no matter where we live.
Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I’m terrified.
Okay but have you considered that you’re being a shrill alarmist commie?
Actually, I have considered that, wanting to avoid being the same kind of victim of partisan propaganda as stupid Conservatives. This is especially important to me, as I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since first registering to vote in 1977. It important to me to not succumb to the propaganda of either side.
My self-reflection has determined to my personal satisfaction that I am not shrill, I’m not an alarmist, and I’m not a commie. I have a history degree, 30 years of professional experience, and have closely watched the rise of extremist Conservatism since the mid-80s, so I am very comfortable offering my opinions with confidence. I don’t worry about acceptance from MAGA Nazi Traitors. I couldn’t care less about their treasonous, shallow, ignorant, violent, political opinions.
My education, knowledge, and experience has led me to believe that we are facing a divide in America as bad as the Civil War, and very possibly worse. The MAGAs are clearly taking their strategies from the Nazi Germany Playbook, and want to murder vast swathes of Americans. To recognize and warn others about it is not shrill, alarmist, or “commie,” and it is not lost on me that you are attempting to shame me into silence.
It won’t work. Indies like me aren’t afraid in the least of Cowardly Nazi Traitors like you. We know what you are up to, and we will stop you.
I feel like my history teachers tried to warn us about this, but they couldn’t say it directly and most of us didn’t take the hint.
“Does history repeat itself?”
“Those who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it.”
What they’re really trying to get their students thinking is “do we learn from history?” And the answer is a big, fat, fuck no.
I was always facist if you weren’t white or straight
I really hope that’s a typo
I’m workshopping banners for the next RNC convention

Masks just being ripped off left and right!
As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.
“That could never happen here!” — Most Americans.
“It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!”
So they cover their faces but drive their own cars? Or am I missing something?
it’s not clear from the except whether the nissan was a personal or federal vehicle (and I’m not clicking through more than one screen of cookies/adblock nonsense to read the rest of it)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a federal car that wasn’t Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge, you know, American brands. I mean there has to be some but I haven’t seen one.
Do we know if they aren’t just deputized proud boys?
I dont think the cars are externally marked.
Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn’t matter anymore.
Should be the Wholesome News thread
Womp womp.
Can’t spell bitches without ICE.
Melt the ICE.
Their ‘collateral arrests’ game is going to get the plain clothed ICE agents killed. Don’t blame the public when it happens. Blame the Border Czar.
Would really love to see pics of their tattoos when this happens. Im sure they’re interesting.
I wanna work for ice so I can be the dude that leaks the raids.
This is acceptable.
It’s an effective tactic that conservatives have been employing for decades.
The reason they hate schools so much is because they can’t infiltrate them. They can’t infiltrate them because they’re genuinely too stupid to compete in academia, and even the ruling class recognizes how an effective educational system is needed to maintain their dominance.
My neck and back would hurt. I thought the NKVD/RSHA clowns were all about AmeriKa First, at least drive an Amerikan built vehicle.
this is the way.
