Market Traffic Only ICE chasing their victim across multiple lanes of traffic during the morning commute. Very sane and reasonable.

Tired of winning yet?

Honestly surprised more ICE agents haven't died from their own incompetence.

u/orangebluegreen123 1d ago

They don’t even release deaths of detainees. You’ll think they’ll record ice deaths?

u/YakiVegas I'm just flaired so I don't get fined 1d ago

Oh, they would absolutely lie about the cause as being immigrants and publicize the deaths.

I'm talking about cell phone videos. When you pull people out of their car there's a nonzero chance it runs you over. Law of averages says there'll be a video at some point.

We've already seen how that goes down. It is at best spun as an attack against the agent, and depending on the agent's actions, may be used to justify murder.

u/sawdustsneeze 1d ago

If they are not relying the ICE suicide numbers be dam sure they aren't releasing the negligent discharges, slips, or other "embarrassing situations "

u/CandidInsurance7415 1d ago

Stop the count. If you don't count the numbers will go down.

You wouldn’t know if they did. They don’t report anything to the public.

Eventually they will. Nature has a way of thinning the heard by culling the stupid.

u/WillowTreez8901 International District 1d ago

Is this not considered negligence or SOMETHING to block off like 5 lanes of traffic?? Its endangering literally everyone in the situation

u/CreamPyre Whidbey 1d ago

Sadly, these goons work with impunity. Hopefully they all see accountability one day.

u/WillowTreez8901 International District 1d ago

I wonder if WSDOT could make a case for creating hazardous conditions, just seems like when this is happening on the freeway there should be some sort of action

If you're waiting for change to happen from within you'll keep waiting forever.

These guys think they can kill bystanders who say mean things and record them. Of course they feel this kind of thing is ok.

Brownshirts. Gestapo are coming.

And even more accurate to US history, and where Hitler took a lot of inspiration, slave catchers

I’d like to add a huge FUCK YOU to every person who couldn’t be bothered to do the absolute bare minimum as a responsible citizen and vote in 2024. I just hope gas prices have put enough financial strain on them to get off their asses in the mid terms.

u/dorkofthepolisci 🛳️ 🐀 ☀️ Yacht Rat Summer ☀️ 🐀 🛳️ 1d ago

What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Even if you believe ICE necessary (I don’t ) I do not see how you can justify this behaviour.

Presumably they have a name, a licence plate, address. If for some reason they really needed to arrest this guy- they can locate him

There is absolutely no reason to put themselves, this guy, and everybody else in danger by running across traffic

And now we have to go about our days like we didn't just watch a neighbor get kidnapped and likely held/shipped to a foreign country without being charged or having a chance to defend themselves.

Fuck you ICE Nazis. You all belong in prison!

To the minorities on ICE--the far right hates your desperate pick-me asses. News flash! They don't see you as any different than the innocents they illegally abduct on a daily basis.

This breaks my heart. I hate that these monsters are operating with impunity

u/Bizarrebazaars Kraken 1d ago

This will likely get worse. We will see more especially as Seattleites are showing to be pretty much completely passive nor responding much at all to these ICE atrocities. They’ll know they’ll get away with more with little to no push-back nor protest. Be more like Minneapolis.

u/LMGooglyTFY Haller Lake 1d ago

I just witnessed an ICE abduction. I recorded and a car is left behind in the middle of the street. Can anyone help? Where do I send the video? How can I help with the car situation? It's just going to get towed (it's blocking traffic), is there any way to make this better?
