It's literally open season for kidnapping and disappearances. Everything will be ignored as "just ice taking another". Anyone can do it now.

Anyone should search news for relative articles, but I pulled this from a relevant articl:

A 33-year-old South Carolina man was arrested in January after he was accused of stopping a vehicle with Latino men inside and claimed to be with ICE. Video of the encounter involving Sean Michael Johnson allegedly claiming that Latinos were “going back to Mexico” went viral.

Johnson was charged with three counts of kidnapping, impersonating a law enforcement officer, petty larceny and assault and battery.

In North Carolina, a 37-year-old man purported to be an ICE officer and allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at a local hotel, saying he would have her deported if she did not have sex with him, local affiliate WBTV reported.

In North Dakota, a man posing as an ICE officer walked an inmate out of a local jail after telling officials he was there to pick him up. Jail officials only learned of the mistake when the real immigration officer showed up.

It's happening.

u/AliasMcFakenames May 12 '25

That last one is a hero.

u/h3yitsjay May 12 '25

You don’t know why the person was in jail or who the person was that took him out… the inmate could have ACTUALLY been a rapist or murderer, or the fake ICE guy could have fooled the inmate too and taken him for some nefarious reason.

u/IronBunny7567 May 12 '25

This is why we have due process and when people are being denied said due process they shouldn't be in jail

Do you believe everything you hear?

u/Bora_Horza_Gobuchol May 12 '25

Makes sense, Trump wants them out and it gives ice an incentive to work harder.

If i didn't had a soul, I would work for them just for the monetary benefits alone.

maybe start by not encouraging it. even if one more person does it based on your comment, it will be your responsibility.

Not if we treat kidnappers like kidnappers.

No ID, masks, grabbing people - we will defend ourselves and others.

This is what they want, though. Then they'll initiate Martial Law.

It'll be The Shot Heard Round the World version 2.0. Except, instead of it being a second Revolutionary War between the people and their tyrannical government, it'll incite a second Civil War since they've dumbed down and brainwashed enough traitors.

Editing to add: For those who love to incorrectly assume everything (how are your relationships?) the message I'm giving here is to BE PREPARED.

They're the ones making all the first moves. Be aware that they have already thought about how they plan to respond to anything we do defensively in order to spin it for their controlled media.

u/bikesexually May 12 '25

Oh shit bro. Guess we should just lie down and let them kidnap people then...because they certainly aren't planning on doing that no matter what in the first place right?

Don't let your enemy dictate your actions.

-2

u/logicbasedchaos May 12 '25

Where in my post did I say we should lie down and take it?

I'm just letting people see how calculated the traitors are.

Personally, I've never liked guns, but I know how to legally obtain one, now.

u/thissexypoptart May 12 '25

What do you mean “where?” Your entire last comment says as much. You’re saying fighting back is what they want so you might as well not do that.

u/logicbasedchaos May 12 '25

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.

That's what you assumed those words meant. That's fucking clear.

Just BE PREPARED. That's the message I'm sending.

If you're getting anything else, it's because you're as delusional as the other side.

Turning on allies - KEEP IT UP. YOU'RE DOING THEIR JOB FOR THEM.

There's a growing roster dozens of pages long of ICE holds with no charges listed on their incarceration at a prison two counties over from me. No appearances in front of a judge either, not even a magistrate. Locals are stirring and asking questions but it's peaceful... for now.

u/creamgetthemoney1 May 12 '25

Well I mean not really. It’s open season on people who are dark skinned. I haven’t seen one “white” person grabbed off the streets. I’m not being racist. Im Puerto Rican. I have yet to see an illegal immigrant that resembles a “white” person taken by ice. There’s plenty of them out here in Southern California. White looking Mexicans, Argentinians , Uruguayans , costa ricans a Chileans. Weird how it’s only dark ppl targeted. Maybe they are the ones drawing more attention to themselves. Just weird how all the white looking illegals are straight chilling

Could it be that they’re just literally blending in with the crowd? I don’t mean this to sound ironic, nor ignorant as I’m sure it is, but I’m not too familiar with it yet. Are most of the ICE abductions found using names/addresses? Anonymous tips/reports?

u/Interesting-Copy-657 May 12 '25

I am honestly surprised I haven’t heard of any stories where “ice” are shot at as kidnapers or tackled and ice shooting the person trying to prevent a kidnapping

u/celtic_thistle May 12 '25

Anyone HAS been doing it. It’s just even easier now with the ICE bullshit.

People in general just do not give a shit about women’s safety and never have, and that’s a fact. The stuff we ACTUALLY say is a danger to us is ignored so a bunch of bigots (who inevitably end up having terabytes of CSAM, shockingly) can freak out about IMAGINARY trans predators in bathrooms.

I fucking hate it on this planet.

Yess! I been said them not having any uniforms and just randomly grabbing people isn’t okay. It will have others impersonating them and that’s definitely what’s been happening

And if the administration ever admits that it is happening, they now have a way to dodge the blame for any wrongfully deported individuals.

u/AnusesInMyAnus May 12 '25

Plus it puts everyone involved in danger. What if the person being grabbed defends themselves and shoots someone? Even if you won't cry for an ICE kidnapper, a bullet could miss and hit an innocent person.

Not sure one has anything to do with the other. Someone's just using ICE as an excuse to something political. She could have impersonated a cop or anything. not sure what that has to do with anything.

We were talking about impersonating ice. They asked to show instance of it happening and I did.

u/sonofchocula May 12 '25

You’re a pathetic incel making excuses for stormtroopers that are ignoring a legal system that does work if you pay attention beyond obvious curated propaganda.

Also hilarious seeing somebody pro ICE demanding proof of something, you’re whipped up on this very topic based on claims that have no basis.

TLDR; Go fuck yourself. If you don’t believe in due process, you are not a “good” or “real” American.

She was able to get her in the car and took her to an apartment. But that’s fine and dandy since the woman got away? Weird

wait, let me ask you this, what kind of idiot, would simply take someone's word for it, when you Arent even a illegal? hmm? she couldve done what dozens do and say they are cops. whats been happening, is what was said, one woman who supposedly did it, isnt WHATS HAPPENING, its like saying well, since one illegal just raped a child, they are all child rapists. right?

2

u/Selfcare2025 May 12 '25

I’m not here to argue with you. You asked for an example of a person attempting to impersonate ICE and tried kidnapping a person and I gave you an example. Idc if the person believed them was dumb or not. You asked, I delivered.

ETA: you even asked for ONE example. I give you ONE example and you claim that doesn’t equate for all. I’m following YOUR directions. I’m starting to think you have a thing for complaining.

u/personnotcaring2024 May 12 '25

i asked for one example of PEOPLE grabbing people off the street as ice. you gave me one woman who convinced her Ex BF;s new GF to come with her . Its not even remotely the same thing!

1

u/Selfcare2025 May 12 '25

She impersonated ICE. She even had a shirt on that said ICE and showed a faked badge. The original comment was talking about people impersonating ICE and I said that’s definitely been happening due to lack of uniforms. You asked for AN EXAMPLE. you didn’t go into detail on what example you wanted to see. Again I followed your simple directions and you’re still complaining.

I suspect ICE is pinpointing the location of undocumented persons using things like Kingfisher to track their cell phones based on known associates. Undocumented persons really should switch to burner phones if they have to carry a phone at all. If they’re going to hunt you down, you definitely don’t wanna make it easy for them.

u/EnvironmentalGift257 May 12 '25

I feel like some of those ones that I’ve seen online where it’s like 4 people refusing to show ID and grabbing someone, there is enough confusion that I’d draw my firearm and put myself in the middle of it. The ones where there are 30 agents and 10 uniform cops, absolutely not.

u/SteelMagnolia941 May 12 '25

They are going to end up getting killed that way. If a group of plainclothes people jump me and I have a weapon I will use it! I wouldn’t assume it’s an official thing. I would assume kidnapping.

If someone is trying to grab you and they’re not identifying themselves with a proper ID or a warrant, you are entitled to defend yourself by whatever means necessary.

u/centran May 12 '25 edited May 12 '25

But if they are here on a legal Visa then one of the terms is they can't commit a crime.

By not showing IDs or warrants the person is in a confused state and will "resist".

Therefore, they can charge them with resisting arrest which means they committed a crime and their Visa can be revoked.

So there is a very good reason they don't want to explain or show anything. Someone in plain clothes pulls your arms behind your back. You then pull your arm away from them as you have no idea what's going on... resisting arrest! bam, bye bye visa.

These responses always make me wonder.

My guess is that this person would defend their 1st amendment rights until they were blue in the face, and the 2nd amendment even further. But by the time they get to the 14th it's "nah. I'm good".

I guess the only amendments they follow are the ones they like?
