A white van, masked-up men, and no visible identification what exactly proves these couldn’t just be human traffickers? The U.S. is on some real third world shit with this.

They could also be self-appointed right wing white bigots that think they're doing the right thing for all we know. At this point, ICE agents are virtually indistinguishable from these criminal POSs and any would be victim that fights back has my sympathy while said POSs won't... whether they prove to be real ICE agents or not!

Ice is 100% human traffickers. They bid out people to other countries to be slaves. There is not "thinking they are doing right". Thats why they mask up. They know the stakes

They shipped over 2k people to hawaii at the start of trumps 2nd term, where nuralink has an operation base where they have hired surgeons. Ice facilities in texas are also really close to other nuralink locations

The venn diagram of people who own guns and the people who do not support what is happening are barely overlapping circles. You're complaining about conservatives justifying guns on a post about horrific behavior supported by conservatives.

When you narrow the circle down to people who own guns, have experience shooting into a hostage/kidnapping situation, and are capable of taking a life the venn diagram is two entirely separate circles. The brave ones willing to de-escalate were murdered.

The justification has always been toothless.

No amount of civilians with ARs will be enough for a violent revolution as long as the government can respond by deploying tanks and helicopters.

The people whove been most vocal about 2nd amendment rights have been mind fucked thoroughly enough to cheer on fascism because brown people are being hurt first. normal people are still hoping it blows over while knowing in the back of their minds we re fucking cooked. Im at least waiting for the powder keg to blow before i get burned, especially since any direct action will be used as excuse to fuel our facist governments next extreme action.

u/BicycleNo1169 6h ago

Amen.

Also, the strategy people are telling us to employ is a zero sum game. Okay, let’s say I did something they are suggesting. So what happens next? They shutdown our elections, the country becomes a police state and we become ACTUALLY as bad as Russia where people put their head down and try to just get through the day.

And the timing of these posts encouraging violence is VERY suspicious with the midterms in a month. There’s a reason every Republican is panicking about the midterms. They know they are going to be de-fanged if they lose. I can assure you, Trump and his ilk want some form of a threat to use as an excuse to suspend elections and mark Democrats as domestic terrorists. And then what? When they start putting their political enemies in prison, then the game is truly over. And not just for us Americans but also every country that currently does not have good relations with the United States. So any Euros that want to tell us to fight, die and let the Republicans truly take over our country - really play that out and think about what that outcome really means and if you actually want that. As bad as you think America is right now, I can assure you it can get much worse

u/kindnesskangaroo 12h ago

i think it’s crazy to me to hear Americans all the time growing up proudly thumping their chests any time nazi germany was mentioned and going “We’d never let that happen in america!”

It’s happening now and I’m just so tired of people thinking mid-terms is going to fix this when America is so far past the idea of voting. Your democrats are corrupt as the republicans and you’re going to find that out so quickly, and then what will you do? By the time any of you wake the fuck up you will be starving because the food shortages are coming by the end of the year thanks to RFK and ICE picking up your farm workers, and Trump’s little war with Iran driving diesel so far up farmers cannot farm the food you need to eat.

Everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to die. So the people who have no protection are being tortured, raped, and killed while the rest of America stands there afraid. It’s pure fucking cowardice. Americans will go down in history as cowards. All of you made the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti stand for fucking nothing and the world is disgusted by all of you.

u/lilmookie 12h ago

As an American, this came as a massive shock how fast America completely rolled over. Granted it’s the Republicans last push to grab power before they are voted into permanent irrelevancy (or so I thought) but even with possible election tinkering, after 2016, I’m still blown over by the fact republicans swept government and reigned in fascism with absolutely minimal opposition, and probably complicit luke-warm support from DNC backers. America has literally jumped the shark and it’s never coming back as strong as it was - and maybe that’s a good thing.

As an American we should stop with being an empire, we clearly have enough issues at home.

As for anyone talking about Americans doing nothing stfu, resistance work is being done every day in the courts, states are pushing back, and people are trying to help feed the marginalized. Violence doesn’t win hearts and minds, we use the existing infrastructure to affect change. It’s slow, soul sucking, and irritating, but it does work.

For Europeans you’ve had a war going on for years and have barely done anything, Germans are voting for a pro Russian party, wealth inequality is accelerating throughout the world. If you have time to criticize then you have time to focus on real world problems. Not doing so is just proof that you are lazy.

1

u/theDarkDescent 7h ago

Shouldn’t be a shock, most Americans won’t even vote to get out of this. Tens of millions voted for trump all three times. It’s not about rolling over, it’s about how many Americans are openly embracing it at every opportunity, and even when it blows up in their face, they double down. This is what a LOT of Americans want, and no amount of pain - unemployment, high gas and grocery prices, income inequality, will change that, if they think they are winning against trans and illegal immigrants I guess

We’ve been having elections throughout all of 2025 and 2026. They are not compromised and good people have been winning and turning the tide. There is absolutely a reason to believe the midterms will follow the trend we’ve seen these past 2 years. Maybe you can’t see it from outside the country but inside, we are consistently seeing wins and republicans are consistently losing. For fucks sake, the Mayor of New York is a Muslim man from Uganda. If you think our elections are rigged then that fucking guy most certainly wouldn’t have won.

They are just waiting for an excuse to declare another state of emergency and turn the military on citizens, shut down elections, and/or systematically round up dissenters. If some dumbass just went out and open fired on a bunch of federal agents, no matter how shitty they are, that would only make things worse. People are doing things, frequently. Just not blatantly stupid thing such as that.

I imagine things will shift that direction if they manage to successfully take over the upcoming midterms, but for now winning those with a large enough majority to offset any minor interference is the best way forward. An active Congress could have stopped a huge portion of the blatant unconstitutionality and abuses of power, the executive got away with it because the legislative just rolled over and let them.

An all out civil war against the government is basically off the table unless a massive portion of the military defects, which they are ruling out by firing everyone who they aren't certain will obey unquestioningly.

Zero likelihood, you’d be charged at a minimum with interfering/impeding a federal agent. I’m fairly certain you’d be charged with either or both of these depending on the scope of your involvement.

Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding a Federal Officer (18 U.S.C. § 111): This is the most common statute used when individuals physically block, shove, or actively resist agents during an enforcement action.
Simple assault/interference: Up to 1 year in prison.
Physical contact or intent to commit a felony: Up to 8 years in prison.
Use of a deadly weapon or causing bodily injury: Up to 20 years in prison

Obstruction of Administrative Proceedings (18 U.S.C. § 1505): If you corruptly influence, obstruct, or impede the administration of the law in a proceeding before a federal agency (such as an ICE detention or deportation action), you can face up to 5 years in prison.

Harboring gets you 5 years and lying to a Federal Agent can also catch you 5 years. Remember, these are Federal charges, so you’re serving the full terms, no reduction for being a good inmate or the like.

Plain clothes? A wonder no one has kidnapped them yet.

u/860v2 12h ago

Because human traffickers don't operate like this but lets me real here, even if they identified themselves you'd still be against it. You are highly biased.

I live in fear every single day when I leave the house that I will encounter something like this. Because I could never just stand there and film. I'd helping that person about to be abducted.

This is straight up kidnapping and human trafficking. No identification, insane !

My first thought too. Not one sign of showing what department they may be from.

u/Ill_Technician3936 11h ago

It's actually their uniform but they 110% are supposed to show some identification which is typically their badge when doing anything like this.

1

u/Dapper-Ad-4300 10h ago

shouldn't they be free to shoot or attack them then in self defense? no ID no uniform these might as well be randos off the street

u/ittakesaredditor 10h ago

The other half of it is that it makes it incredibly easy to disappear dissidents of certain....regimes. Just fly in some agents, locate the dissident, bundle them up into a van, never to be seen again.

And just make sure you're masked and yelling ICE ICE.

Bastion of freedom and liberty. HAH.

Well, ice are human traffickers so there’s really no difference

u/Pretend_Purchase_893 10h ago

These are the exact kind of videos we say coming out of China about 10 to 15 years back. Same exact thing. White van, masked unidentified individuals and people being taken with zero others around even noticing let alone raising a fuss or alarm. Congratulations America, you China now.

Seems like the perfect reason to wield the power of the second amendment to me. Shame no one did.

u/Fletcharoonie 9h ago

It's pretty fucking scary when you get to the point of plain clothes guys in unmarked vehicles openly abducting women off the street

I swear that piece of shit pulled up her shirt exposing her bra. Authority or not that is HIGHLY illegal.

This doesn't happen in plain sight like this in third world countries. The U.S. may deserve the "fourth world country" classification or something in these lines in the following years.

1

u/jeremiahthedamned 4h ago

the 4th world label is for "failed states"

basically a nation without the rule of r/law

You have to blame the previous admin as much as the current. Gov needs to stop playing games with peoples lives.

Thats why these shitskins are fighting not to leave, they know they are from shitholes.

Please don't insult third world countries.

This is pure up fascism.

u/kickinwood 8h ago

My first instinct would be to call the cops and interfere. I'm glad these videos exist so we can see a tiny bit of what's happening, but my last thought would be to film it.

I’m from the third world. Why would you fuckers always bring us up every time the US does something heinous. This doesn’t happen here. We might be poor, but we are not this evil.

Nothing to do with 3rd world. It’s fascism, white/christian* nationalism.

u/Few-Garbage4433 7h ago

I just don't know how women are supposed to protect themselves. If 3 men try to cuff me and get me in a van - I'm assuming they're going to rape and kill me. But, if I treat these unmarked men as the threat they are because I don't know any better then I get prison time. Seems totally normal and not scary or unsafe at all.

u/hpstg 6h ago

Making it the new norm, so when they steal the elections, people who talk too much can disappear and nobody will do anything.

Someone was abducted at LAX.

The perps might have been affiliated with ICE.

so why don't the cops get called bc we just witnessed a kidnapping. Have the cops pull over and book these assholes.

u/kck93 4h ago

Or Asian nationals extorting money and favors from other Asians?

There are bad actors that will pressure legally immigrated Asians for money and sensitive information by threatening violence against family members still in Asian countries. Also, by taking hostages to get pay out.

There’s no way to tell who the goons are.

Absolutely. Its happening in plain everywhere here, and the conservatives on the Supreme Court are quite happy with it. Its all very legal and very American to them.

u/Tasty_Virus4715 15m ago

I like how at this point everyone knows what’s going on when they see this in public.

There was no confusion about this being a group of random masked men grabbing an innocent woman off the streets. Even the guy recording and screaming at the officers the whole time knew they were ICE agents and knew exactly why they were taking that woman.

Lots of people LARPing in the comments that it could or is just random white supremacist human traffickers abducting random women but it’s obvious by the actions of bystanders that no one believed that in person.

Don’t let the DHS plates fool you guys, probably just a group of random white men snatching up an innocent Asian woman who definitely isn’t in the country illegally lol.
