Holy shit. Goon squads. They don’t even identify themselves??
Imagine a hypothetical scenario where a group of random citizens gang up on an ICE agent during their Sunday stroll and handcuff them, and throw them off a bridge somewhere, handcuffs still on.
How would a sheriff know that they aren’t ICE agents themselves? Or are we going by skin colour?
They don’t ID themselves and show a warrant? Fight back. Fuck it. Nothing to lose now. Never go with feds quietly.
Nothing to lose now.
Except your freedom, job or life.
If you’re being apprehended by ICE, you’re almost certainly losing some of those no matter how you respond. I don’t know that you’ve got better chances if you fight back alone, but if people around you join in and try to unarrest you, you might have a shot at going home that evening.
Or are we going by skin colour?
Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal “by mistake”, I think that’s right on the money

It’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They’re a law enforcement branch focusing on people and arterial entering the country. They should be focusing on human traffic and smuggling, but they’ve been turned into a gestapo.
I’m not from the US, so I’m mega confused… Why are they allowed to take this person after the case was dismissed?
Legally they’re not. That’s why they’re masked. That’s why the protests, the complaints, the articles about fascism. The current regime somehow holds themselves above the law, above the Constitution, above human rights. It a combination of a power grab by extremists in the executive branch, collusion from legislature and personal favors in the judicial. Sometimes it really looks like our entire national leadership should be in jail or worse.
If this is the same thing I’m thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.
It’s rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.
I’m skeptical. There are documented cases where ICE abducts people literally on their way to be sworn in as US citizens and deports them. Despite what they say, they don’t care about people immigrating here legally, it’s all about racism.
Just take a look at the leaders of ice
