After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere
Those who lived through it describe the ICE raids as a “siege” or an “occupation”.
At the height of the raids last year, agents in armored military vehicles rolled through residential neighborhoods. Masked agents patrolled public parks and stationed themselves outside elementary schools; squadrons of ICE agents snatched pedestrians off the streets.
Then, officers killed two US citizens during an ICE “blitz” on Minneapolis. After a public backlash, the Trump administration said it would try a new approach.
So the police are acting in secret. Hmm, where could I possibly have seen this before.
Nazi Germany. It’s exactly like Nazi Germany. Jesus Christ on a bike, how can you not make that association?
How do you not recognize that sarcasm? Are you thick?
i’ve met way too many people on lemmy who don’t see saecasm, just get used to it
It’s kinda depressing because I love sarcasm so I often get downvoted to shit by the blissfully unaware.
I guess two sarcasms make a non-sarcasm?
A sort of “secret police”, if you will.
I did not see that coming.
A couple months ago a video was posted of an ICE agent that was stupid enough to enter an apartment complex alone. The video showed probably 200 black residents following him while dumping water all over him and mocking him. He couldn’t do anything but take it because he was so severely outnumbered.
It was one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
The lesson being that there are WAY more of us than them and there is strength in numbers.
Edit: Sauce
Apparently, not ICE.
Sauce?
It is Reddit, so if you really hate Reddit, don’t click the link. This particular one has a guy narrating what’s happening, which is annoying but doesn’t obstruct the video. A Google search indicates the internet is at odds whether it’s an ICE agent or not.
Doesn’t change that there’s strength in numbers.
My pasta is dry. I need some sauce too.
Forgot to wet the drys, rookie mistake.
I don’t do Reddit. Is this the same incident?
“But but but! Why is tourism taking a hit? Come back! We only violently kidnap and treat people like animals a little!”
not everyone though. just those damn foreigners. now come on over from another country please. its a an experience you will never forget.
You’re inviting “damn foreigners” to visit you? “Give me your money and fuck off back home damn foreigner” 🤣
I did not /s but is was sarcasm. we want foreigners to visit but don’t worry we are just abusing foreigners (even though we are not and its all racial but sometimes social [lefty types, the gays, etc])
See I’m not trying to guess what’s a joke and what isn’t because MAGA keeps doing crazy shit seriously until they say it was just a joke, so they don’t know what the hell they’re doing either.
yeah and im sorry. im torn between like common its obvious and feeling like if I let my natural sarcasm out I will make a new conspiracy theory. I do hate this timeline.
vance laughing off 51 while maga tries to veto canada is a path to genocide
It’d be funny if citizens started secretly capturing ICE agents.
Yeah I was thinking this would make a great plot to a movie, if several people abducted some ice agents and took their gear and radios, they could show up to other busts and abduct even more agents until they have a secret prison full of ice agents. They could then arrange deals for prisoner release.
They could then arrange deals for prisoner release.
Ehhhhhh.
Or not.
They dont even have the ability to release most of the deported people, only those held domestically.
And do we really want them back on the streets when we could just, like, tear down those incarceration facilities?
I guess knowing our government they wouldn’t negotiate w vigilante organization so they would let those ICE ass holes die.
Genuinely, I don’t know how this would work but it’d absolutely stop the current tactics.
I don’t have anywhere to keep a captured ICE agent except underground.
People are hungry. Just saying.
I am begging the people who live in the states and are horrified about what is going on but feel a need to do something: please join your local mutual aid co-op or neighborhood ICE patrol.
It’s so terrifying
