These fuckers brutally abducted some dude who was just going out to get food, wouldn’t even let him show his ID proving he was a citizen til after they’d taken him in for processing, and then when he asked for a ride home because they were the ones who’d fucked up, they told him to walk home in the snow.

Guy’s been in the US since he was 1 year old.

ICE needs to burn – not melt, burn – in Hell or something.

    It’s not even hyperbolic to call them brown shirts anymore or a paramilitary loyal to the president. This is the type of death squad shit you’d hear about Dole funding in Latin America come home to roost.

      I really think if someone unloaded on a group of ICE goons they would be seen like the CEO shooter by a lot of people, even my relatively conservative Christian grandma has called MAGA Nazis since 2016.

        It’s bound to happen right? I mean it’d take nothing for some ice ss troopers to roll up to the wrong house and be on the receiving end of a semi automatic weapon. Shit, just a few months ago they blew open someone’s door for recording them, afaik, well try that shit on some 2A nutter’s compound.

          I’m surprised that they haven’t gone after a 2a nut just by mistake and gotten blasted, seems like every other week a gun nut shoots someone for trying to deliver food, use their driveway to turn around, knock on the wrong door by mistake, or any other number of reasons they shoot someone. I just figured eventually one of them would be accosted by unidentified masked paramilitaries and decide to started-blasting

            Gun nuts are largely reactionary cowards. They see a group of well armed people with automatic weapons, armor, they assume they’re cops or at the very least that they can’t take them and will be killed so would never engage. There are occasionally exceptions that are nihilistic mass shooter types who would be willing to kill the feds but they usually tend to hunker down so unless they burst into the home fortress of one of those types it’s not likely to happen.

            Thing is ICE can’t go into homes without warrants as I understand it. Which is why most of their stuff happens in driveways, at schools, outside in various places, workplace raids, etc. So their chances of running into and disturbing a burrowed in like a tick extremist with a siege mentality and heavy weapons and a willingness to use them to kill feds is very, very low compared to even normal cops responding to domestic violence calls. Sure over years of time they’ll probably eventually try and traffic stop a Sov-Cit type who opens fire and kills one ICE agent but then gets themselves and their family in the car riddles with hundreds of semi-auto rounds in the response from their teammates.

            Very few Americans ever dare to kill cops unless their backs are literally against a wall and they’re convinced there is no way out. A normal reactionary gun nut would put their guns down because they are a citizen and respect ICE and expect that they’ll be processed and released and thus have a way out. That is they expect that they’ll be treated fairly.

              Yeah, the gun nuts aren’t doing jack shit besides hunkering down next to their ammunition cans.

              The real wild card is all the guns out there. There’s gonna be somebody with nothing left to lose being hassled by these goons and in the USA the odds of that person carrying go way the hell up. Put the 2 together and we have the scenario.

                They target specific people in many (not sure the exact proportion) of their raids, so I guess that cuts down on the chances of their targets being armed, at least legally. Also, I don’t think it’s an accident that the vast majority of their targets have had no criminal past.
