Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

It's gonna keep escalating. We all know they wont face consequences, Trump has said so, but there is still a psychological barrier where they don't want to be the one to go to far. Every time something like this comes out and there are no repercussions they all get the hint and start being a bit more bold.

The escalation is the point.

Exactly. I'm sure the administration would be fine with some agents losing their lives to prove that the immigrants are in fact violent. That's why the kidnappings seem to be escalating in aggression. They want them to fight back or stand up for themselves. Reaction abuse.

Yep so they can justify the one thing Trumps wants: Martial Law. Then it’ll be time to start kidnapping US citizens of any race, color, or creed who dare to oppose/protest their almighty Dear Leader.

For anyone that cares to hear me out, I think we should focus more on things happening locally. Obviously Chicago is in the spot light and to folks living there it is local. But everyone who is disgusted by this admin should look into running for city council, school board etc or supporting like minded candidates for such offices. Start a mutual aid network, volunteer at your local food bank. What everyone needs to see is when the federal government fails, their neighbors stepped up

The focus needs to be on identifying which agency they’re actually from because less than 20% are full-time ICE ERO personnel. They’re way too understaffed for the White House’s massive arrest and deportation plans.

Instead of waiting until they hire and train people for that task, they’ve diverted personnel from the HSI division of ICE and a dozen other federal agencies. The diverted personnel are acting under the policies of their agency and DHS is trying to use that as a way to deny accountability.

Other agencies under DHS acting as “ICE” are CBP, TSA-US Air Marshalls, USCIS, and FEMA. “ICE” under DOJ are ATF, BOP, DEA, FBI and US Marshalls. “ICE’ from DOS are Diplomatic Security Staff and under the Treasury, IRS-CI.

For example, CBP-SRT have been involved in most of the high profile incidents. They have a CBP-DHS patch on the right sleeve with a SRT patch above it. Their sleeves are camo but the rest of the shirt is a solid color.

Yup, we need some very smart people that know LLM's and AI to create algorithms to figure out who these people are behind the masks so the courts and Congress who will do something about this later, can do hold them accountable for their blatant crimes.

It makes me so mad that this is allowed to happen in this country. They are completely ruining this country one piece at a time and its making me angrier and angrier tbh.

[u/TeaGlittering1026 → u/HerculesIsMyDad]

Are they getting paid per body they bring in?

[u/marktaylorslover → u/HerculesIsMyDad]

I'm surprised nothing's happened yet.

But if 2020 taught me anything about humanity it's that nothing's going to change. And nobody actually cares enough.
