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 feel bad for the car.
It could’ve helped a member of the working class.
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)
Do we know if they aren’t just deputized proud boys?
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.
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.
I wanna work for ice so I can be the dude that leaks the raids.
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.
Is the pickup truck ok?
I’m surprised they aren’t just knocking in doors at this point. How terrifying.
They start that in the wrong areas and being scared of getting hit but watterbottles and rocks will be the least of their worries.
No place for fascism in NY!
As somebody from Western NY, this made me happy to read
I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.
One can only hope.
That would bring the military into our communities even quicker. Seems like a very bad idea.
The military is already in our communities dummy
The only bad idea is sitting back and just complaining online.
Sniping ICE agents would make things much worse much more quickly.
Maybe the progression of violence is inevitable, but once you start killing pigs, it will all happen very quickly.
The progression of violence has been enacted by the government for decades… Sitting around waiting is just letting them put on the cuffs before fighting back. https://lemmy.world/post/31339564
Look man, I am a protesting, pro-physical intervention, pro-whatever it takes leftist. All I’m saying is random people shooting at ICE is going to end protest and resistance, and begin the part where the government shoots and kills protestors and resistance on sight.
If you think that’s the best plan, that’s fine. I do not. I think there is more that needs to happen before the shooting starts.
I own many guns. I practice with them. I have thousands of rounds of ammunition. When the government starts shooting people, I will decide if I’m ready to die to protect my family and community.
But I’m not gonna kill myself and dozens of others by foolishly “taking a pot shot” at these fucking nazis.
When the government starts shooting people??? 🤦What caliber is required for it to count as shooting? Ballistic missile???

Once again this is nothing new, been only getting worse my entire life.
Enjoy the fascists they’ll only keep winning with folks like this so proud of themselves.
Alright man. Stay safe out there.
Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.
“Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school” is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.
She gave them an arrest quota of 3,000 a day. Jesus christ
Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig’s Wormtail, whispering poison in his ear. He’s hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It’s time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.
Hoping no real people were injured.
Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.
