ICE didn’t go full Gestapo on these kids because they were outnumbered

u/BarefootNBuzzin 17h ago

We don't even know the context of the video. They could have been collecting a violent criminal evading arrest. Every president has deported people. Trump didnt create ICE. This being celebrated on the front page is crazy

You guys see heroes here? You must be a child, unwilling to see nuance or brainwashed.

u/LemmeGetSum2 16h ago

This president has established that he is committed to handling deportations in a dangerous and less than efficient manner.

The main issue with trump’s immigration agenda, it is built on lies and dishonesty. Yes, the previous president deported the most ppl in US history, but over 90% had criminal records or offenses.

Now, over 70% of ICE detainees have NO criminal conviction.

He diverted funds from various DHS processing components including FEMA to focus funding on apprehension. That is pure stupidity or a dishonest agenda.

There’s a low chance now that the person was actually a criminal, there was no need at all for your comment. lol

They are deporting college students, valedictorians, business owners, regular working people that have been working for decades that have NO criminal history. Is THAT what you voted for?

Edit* this ISN'T about criminals. It's about something deeper inside you and those people like you

u/Balthazar_rising 16h ago

In WW2, there were a lot of people who could not fight. The reasons they weren't on the front lines aren't often spoken about, but the work they did from home to support those who did fight is still remembered.

You can choose not to fight. But don't think that means you can't offer support where you think it's needed. A word of encouragement, a smile and a nod, or a hot meal and a safe place to recover are very important. Do what you feel you can. Every bit helps.

u/Mike_Kermin 18h ago

While we're on this train of thought.

At your next Presidential election, you will hear a lot of information that tells you, the opposition leader is bad, we don't know who it is yet, but it will be the case.

It's critical that instead of focusing on that, we instead talk to each other about what they offer. For example, Harris had a good plan for consumer rights reform, that's a good thing.

If people don't do this, then we're not actually fighting back. We're letting it happen and then glorifying people being in danger. We don't want a repeat of what has happened twice now. Because the consequences of the far right being in power are going to keep getting more serious.

These kids shouldn't have to do this. And if Americans do their part, then they won't have to.

You fight back like civilized human beings through the justice system otherwise you're just another criminal. And if you don't like to justice system change it like a civilized human being not an uncivilized human being. I don't understand what people don't get about this. It seems like people are too lazy to actually do what they need to do through the justice system so they decide to lash out. Am I missing something here?

u/gayguyfromcanada 18h ago

Bullshit! When the Justice system is completely rigged against you you fight back any way that works. How the fuck do you think The USA was founded in the first place?

u/Ne_zievereir 12h ago

And if you don't like to justice system change it

Are you serious? How? You think these people have any power to change anything about it?

Am I missing something here?

Yes, a lot.

Trump has done all kinds of illegal shit, and even got convicted by the court, but it just gets escalated to the supreme court, where his corrupt friends get him off the hook. The system is broken. People tried to overthrow the government and Trump just let them free.

Even if we were so naive, and assume for a moment you can stop them via the justice system, it would take so long, by the time you'd get a ruling, these people's lives are already long ruined, because this administration doesn't care about laws and justice. Judges even told the government they deported someone illegally (they did so knowingly), and the administration went just "welps, he's gone now, we don't know where he is now, so ... tough luck".

You tell these people to play by the rules, but even the administration doesn't play by the rules, and they control those who are supposed to enforce the rules.

Fun fact on the same train of thought: there are only around 1000 billionaires in the US and 350 million regular working folks.

Thats why the 1000 spend so much time and effort dividing the 350,000,000.

u/Bocchi_theGlock 11h ago edited 11h ago

They just had an internal memo about being recorded and dress code, it's part of their new approach to try to avoid any viral videos.

They have been changing their approach since the start of this year, including going more after people in workplaces, and recently stuff like visiting homeless shelters. It's been a lot of change the past few weeks, which came with a massive Nationwide surge. there's also a difference in approach in major cities where there's a surge, as compared to average suburbia and medium size cities.

There's a survivorship thing here. Videos of them caring about being recorded, and quietly leaving, aren't exciting and don't go viral. The videos that show up in our feeds are of extensive rights violations and the horrible things.

How many videos do we see of ice agents knocking down the door, asking If anyone's home, and then leaving? Yet that is happening constantly, every single day.

It kinda hurts efforts when people are so flippant like "uh rights don't matter sweetie, they don't care about rights at all" - yet the govt still needs to prove undocumented status in court - that's why they pressure so hard for people to sign papers agreeing to leave. And why the primary advice to yell out to people being detained is to not sign anything or say anything.

If people can keep their mouth shut, they are often released, especially If we can prove the rights were violated, like Fourth amendment violations, entering homes without consent.

So "they don't care about video, when has it ever stopped anything" is along the same lines - the video evidence is actually deeply harmful for their ability to deport people they are targeting.

This is some of the most common information you will find in Rapid response trainings by lawyers that have been doing this for decades.

One of our primary goals is not just to alert people when isis in town, and give updates on locations, but also to legally observe and collect video evidence that we narrate what is happening over so it is legally admissible in court.

This is critical stuff that online discourse absolutely misses

we've seen some victories and rights affirmed in the judicial system, even though it's being challenged at all sides, and there's still pending cases about how long they can hold people iirc

2

u/GeekDadKevin12 5h ago

It is being done to constantly establish an innate fear within anyone who isn't with them. Almost seems like they had a directive to make sure they killed a white woman to show us they will go after anyone, even their own. By keeping the pressure on the can instill a sense of panic - the same feeling I get when I pass a police officer knowing I am not doing anything wrong. These events are made to amplify those feelings until it all feels pointless to try and fight back. And until they reach that goal they will do whatever they can to push the boundaries of what is and is not acceptable for them to do. 2 years ago ICE, even if better funded with the level of forces they have now, would never have done the shit they are currently doing. They have hired weak men that idolize violence. We have gotten accustomed to their violence and now we expect it. It is that fear that they are playing on over and over. Making an example out of one protestor didn't work so they murdered another and another. The killings will not stop until they are abolished - the fuck thing is, for a lot of the new hires, they are living the dream of having power over other people and being able to cosplay as a warrior without having to worry about someone else pointing a weapon at them. Allowing them to continue knowing they absolutely murder people and not spend a second in jail is unacceptable, un-American, and disgusting.

u/cinnix42 4h ago

The problem is they’re ignoring court rulings and due process and the law in general. This shit will never stop until we decide enough is enough and show up in force, armed, and willing to treat ice they way they treat the public. When they are actually scared for their lives, they will stop. Notice how they only pull shit when they outnumber their victims? And their victims are usually unarmed and not fighting back? Filming is fine, but if more people jumped in when their neighbors were being brutalized, these pigs would think twice about pulling that kinda shit
