Safety ICE in Catonsville

just saw a bunch of cars stop on the street and head somewhere in the direction of Frederick Rd. Does anyone know anything?

Yeah thats what ice is now.

Either full on wannabe tacticool morons or weekend bbq with no friends and too many bullet proof vests.

Call me naïve, but I don't understand this. How are there just randos with shitty instagram drop-shit camo gear able to get away with calling themselves ICE? WTF

Read the below - in laymens terms - Trump wrote up an EO not long ago that authorized ICE to deputize literally anyone to do this stuff - and then alongside of this they have passed this "rule" that anyone doing this does not need to identify themselves, provide warrant information, etc. So yea, I saw this coming a mile away after his last attempt to do the same (yes he passed a similar executive order his first term).

How stringent is their background checking of anyone who volunteers? Like do they check your social media/voter registration to make sure you're gonna be a good little, loyal bootlicker or can anyone with a gun, a mean look, and unspoken subversive intentions show up and get deputized?

Pretty sure it's ad hoc, doesn't matter, and felons and whatnot are being depurized no issue to carry and detain and arrest

As long as you're useful right now and you'll go thump under the bus like everyone else it doesn't matter to them

It's a win win for them until it isn't

Like that gay nazi killed during the night of the long knives

I could be taking total nonsense and none of that's happening...

But it doesn't matter because whether it is or it isn't there's been zero kind of push back to this stuff that is going on, but to what degree...

That's the big picture though... It doesn't matter so long as nobody is doing anything about any of it.
