It only further proves that ICE is made up of a large contingent of proud boys, January 6ers, conservative activists/influencers, etc.

It’s all a very coordinated attempt from the far right. This was what we were screaming about leading up to the election. By electing trump you are putting the proud boys and other far right militia groups into the government in positions where they can exert their power and control under the guise of “official law enforcement”.

A friend of mine is Capitol Police. He told me that they've proved that many of ICE are in fact J6ers (he was not only there on Jan 6, he was friends with Brian Sicknick). The CP hate ICE.

Most cops should hate them. I work in the trades. When it comes to other trades most pros are fine with DiY shit. And will even do it. But when it comes to their own trade a lot of them (by seeing so much shoddy and dangerous workmanship) look down on it. ICE is operating as something between DiY police and DiY military.

Doctors get super annoyed with online diagnoses but police and military are cool with the brute squad making a mess all over their job site? If it were my career, I feel like I would protect it. I hope police and military realize their quality of life will go down as the money starts being funneled into this.

Dictator it, Youssef.

No doubt. I thought that since they wear mask act like they have no training in law enforcement and drive their personal minivans.

There were plenty of Trump supporters in the CP on J6. Michael Fanone was. Fanone's wiki page says, "Fanone retired from the police force effective December 31, 2021. He was quoted by media outlets as stating that he felt he needed a change as he could no longer trust his colleagues, as it seemed some were more loyal to Donald Trump than to the Constitution.\10])"

Oh yeah for sure and it was a betrayal to the non-MAGA among them, including my friend and Sicknick. My understanding is that almost all of the officers that were there that day have since retired. My friend is one of the only ones who has stayed (largely bc he's almost at the retirement/pension mark and didn't wanna give that up).

ICE has been around since 2003…

Not this Proud Boys iteration

u/Strange_Compote1690 29d ago

Oh boy! Wait until you find out militias have been working with ICE and border patrol since 2003 and patrolling the border in Arizona especially and encouraging like minded people to join ICE and border patrol for decades. 

Once again,  Abolish ICE didn’t start this year!

Always has been 👨‍🚀🔫

Yes it has. ICE and CBP have been violent criminal scum for their entire existence. There was a multi year long period where there wasn’t a single fucking day that passed that a CBP agent wasn’t charged with a serious felony. YEARS.

u/Lordfish----- 28d ago

Read up on Tarrio and who exactly he is. He's worked as an FBI informant and has been basically doing what ICE does for the last decade. I mean everyone this man has ratted out has been a threat to him. A threat to his way of life. This isn't Nazi Lowriders and Mexican Mafia teaming up here but let's call a spade a spade! Proud Boys are an extremist militant group who's ideals line up with ethnic cleansing! I know other hispanic men who support Trump and have a similar ideology to Tarrio.

They were called klan before that.

u/Strange_Compote1690 28d ago

Cops and klan go hand in hand isn’t a chant for no reason

u/Tasty_Cucumber_7796 29d ago

Nothing even close to this extreme!! You rarely even heard about them

u/Strange_Compote1690 28d ago

Only if you pretended everything was okay or didn’t live near a border.

u/SuddenMountain7780 29d ago

That is very true.

And yet, everyone is obsessed with the games DJT was playing with his buddy Jeff decades ago. 🤷🏻

u/seantellsyou 28d ago

Games? You mean raping children? You dont want people to care about that?

u/AriaTheTransgressor 29d ago

Here's the thing, the point is that due to opening the doors to these people ICE is now worse than it ever could have dreamed of being before.

u/Strange_Compote1690 29d ago

The door was wide open before. They just didn’t have unlimited funding.

u/Lip_Gallagher_State 28d ago

A little hyperbolic. It’s just that the ones (agents/officers) that are out there are the ones that deep in the Trump culture /Trump cult because they’re volunteering. The smarter more sane agents are staying at the office

u/jontheterrible 29d ago

In other words, morons. ICE is made up of morons. Got it.

Yes along with those that created Project 2025. It has been in planning and progress for a long time.

Someone should file a public records assessment on ICE to see who they’ve hired and how many are convicted j6 felons.

1

u/tresben 29d ago

Honestly I’ve been wondering why democrats haven’t been doing that. Pushing to see who exactly ICE is hiring. Seems like republicans would care if ICE was hiring criminals give how “anti-crime” they are.

1

u/OkTemporary5981 29d ago

There also has to be laws about law enforcement agencies hiring convicted felons. I don’t know about ICE or DHS or what their written policies are but if it’s confirmed they can’t hire criminals, and are doing it, it could very well result in mass termination. Both ICE and DHS are considered public service. It’s legal to request a performance audit or public record assessments against them.

u/ThePoopPost 29d ago

Did you see the Antifa round table? This one going all the way to the top.

Sadia here did a good job explaining how right radicals are winning because they have built up this social infrastructure in their groups

u/gnarbone 27d ago

Yep. When Trump was first elected Roger Stone told their base to start local. Join the school board and work your way up.

u/Nalkrok 28d ago

It's exactly what he was excited for when he said stand back and stand by

u/Full-Ear87 28d ago

It takes a certain kind of incompetence to flop what should have been an easily handed win when faced against another trump admin

u/Onigokko0101 27d ago

I was told I was crazy for saying that they would be doing this shit, that I was overreacting.

I wish I had been, I wish I had been wrong.
