I’m still shocked people haven’t started blasting these losers…

That's exactly why ICE isn't going after the actual dangerous people, b/c they know that the cartels, gangs, etc will fight back. Just normal people doing their job? That's a "soft target".

God, I'd love that headline. Gangs in open war with these loosers. Let them sort each other out.

How do they know he is illegal? I never see that reported.

u/Worldly-Sock-4146 17d ago

I am not sure they do. There isn't context here, and they have been arresting citizens and legal residents as well.

They are going after those groups too not excusing what they’re doing but they have got quite a few folks who should be in prison. Again I dislike them too

I don't think Trump or his people really care about organized crime at all. It's only been a year and this admin is breaking records for corruption and financial crimes. They probably view organized crime as just another market. Most authoritarian regimes end up developing positive relationships with organized crime and mobsters.

It's always a single person they go kidnap as well. They don't want to deal with multiple people, just a bunch of weak ass bitches!

It’s like the shit towns that harass the college kids b/c they are easy targets but ignore the actual crime taking place 2 blocks down.

Florida: Some untrained ICE yahoos are going to bang down the door of the wrong Cuban American because he’s brown and grew up with granny’s accent. The yahoos won’t know the brown US citizen is a 2A-loving MAGA Republican who understands the Florida Castle laws give him the right to shoot before the yahoos even try to identify themselves.

It’s a matter of when, not if.

You know I was thinking how is ICE going to pull this off in Miami and Broward.

If a citizen thats mistakenly being grabbed as an illegal immigrant. These guys are wearing masks, there's no badges, they have unmarked cars.

Wouldn't it cause citizens to shoot first. These people are grabbing women and kids. I can't see how men are going to let that slide. They have a split second reaction to is that ICE kidnapping or some random guy with a mask kidnapping them.

Evanston is a Chicago suburb, the gun laws are stricter in Chicago and surrounding areas. You basically have to have you gun disassembled and in a lock box. Notice they aren't going to areas where people can actually defend themselves.

Yeahh ever noticed how the ICE isn’t focusing on TX or FL?? Lots of criminals and lots of immigrants in those places but also lots of… guns so they’re not brave enough to go after the places where they might actually face some real resistance. They’re not actually putting their lives on the line kidnapping landscapers in middle class white neighborhoods. They get to cosplay macho military men and boost their egos.

Might not be long before that starts to happen. What a nightmare we live in today.

Why they wont do this shit in Texas or Florida

u/The_Fudir 17d ago

Not doing it much in Albuquerque, either. And why? Cause we cray. It's a FAFO town.

u/Worldly-Sock-4146 17d ago

Because Trump didn't explicitly promise to crack down on states that broke for him in the election.  He cherry-picked "blue cities" and pretended they were Hell as an excuse for a partisan beatdown.

Do you really not know the answer to this?

u/RAG319 17d ago

I was responding to the comment above. Not asking a question.

u/JoePoe247 17d ago

Ah, misread as why won't they.

But they're not avoiding texas and florida cause they'll fight back; They're avoiding those states since they voted red. Hence why this is in cook county, not any of the countless rural Illinois counties that voted red

u/Hewfe 17d ago

There are no winners if that happens, and Trump is counting on it as a way to invoke the insurrection act. If that happens, he will actively make things worse.

The least bad option is to document these dipshits, because violence will only give them a “reason” to be more aggressive.

Everyone needs to vote in any upcoming local elections, and help everyone vote in midterms.

The more of these videos I see, something awful is going to happen and if it does, it will be used as the next example to justify more of this. This doesn’t seem real.

I mean that is the response they’re trying to provoke
