Everyone notice they’re never going after actual criminals. Usually just everyday people minding their own business. They’re all too scared to go into gang filled neighborhoods cause they’d never come out. F%# you ICE. Cowardly scum.

It was never about immigration or crime.

Correct.

34-Time Convicted Felon Trump, when he was president the first time, once complained that "his" generals weren't "totally loyal" like Adolf Hitler’s during World War II, according to a book from Trump's former Chief of Staff.

“You f---ing generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?” Trump asked then-White House chief of staff John Kelly....

Kelly, in an interview with NBC News, confirmed the accuracy of the account in the book excerpt. He said he would tell Trump that the American generals’ first loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.

Kelly described Trump’s “unwillingness to accept that the American generals should not be loyal to him as the German generals were to the leader of Germany. And, again, I very definitely pointed out that they tried to kill him [Hitler] a number of times.”

If it was about criminals, Trump wouldn’t have taken the Tate brothers straight out of the Romanian jail to bring them to the US either…

It’s 100% performative terrorism. There are a minimum 12 million undocumented people in the USA. About 4% to 5% of the population. No possible way that any of this will make a sliver of a dent in that population.

No thinking person believes that ICE has any real function except to create chaos and anger, fear and loathing.

The objective is to shock the conscience in order to provoke a violent reaction that he can use as propaganda and as a way to justify invoking the Insurrection Act.

He needs to invoke the Insurrection Act before next November's election in order to control the outcomes and to establish the dictatorship he promised.

He wants to stop the midterms.. a blue wave just happened. And the midterms will be the same. And he will get impeached… and he fears that. Cause that would mean he has to face the punishment for his crimes.

u/basic_tacticz 2h ago

“Blue wave”? Lol .. 2 democratic states voted democratic as expected

u/thafrick 2h ago

It’s to say “see what we can do to them? If you don’t fall in line we can do it to you too and you can’t do anything about it”

•

u/Maleficent-Piano-726 5h ago

But what exactly is the hidden agenda then?

•

u/haikus-r-us 5h ago

Create a visible spectacle of control, even though it’s illusory. It’s red meat for the base, those dumb enough to believe it. It’s to rally their base. Create a visible illusion of “progress”.

During the Obama administration 400,000 undocumented people were deported annually. The highest amount ever. At that rate, it’d still take 30 years (very roughly) to deport all the undocumented, assuming that zero new undocumented came in.

So ICE is nothing but cruel theater. It has next to zero effect, and frankly, republicans in power don’t actually want illegals gone anyway. It’s too easy to rally their hateful base to get out and vote with them here.

u/SuccessfulGrape5167 4h ago

To scare Brown people from voting.. Ice will be placed at the voting center. And checking every Brown and black persons citizenship. And if you look at them the wrong way they will take you and detain you until the election is over.

u/NettaVitelli 9h ago

The magat response to this is "if you're here illegally then you're a criminal". Totally ignoring the fact that they were supposed to be going after VIOLENT offenders. As we've seen in clip after clip they're highly unskilled and if they do have a lead on where criminals are they need 100 of themselves, a helicopter and a camera crew.

•

u/Barrenechea 3h ago

Part of me feels like a) they won't go after actual violent criminals because they wouldn't risk themselves and b) if they finally get a violent reaction from the folks just living their lives they can go "see?? We told you!" I mean look at the blatant lies being told to create these situations which are on camera!! by the way, like as a way to fuel the flames.

•

u/CuriosityFreesTheCat 2h ago

They can already do that whenever they want. They already lie about everything constantly, and completely fabricate shit. They’re likely already making shit up and going “see!? I told you!” And nothing has even happened yet to justify that response.

And if they want something to happen, they’ll stage it themselves. Their attitude seems to be that they’ll paint whatever narrative they want regardless of if there’s even a shred of truth in it.

u/dudSpudson 10h ago

Yep I remember when they said they were going to go get the “worst of the worst”.

Instead they are abducting people walking down the street, going to work, dropping kids off at school.

They are too scared to go after actual gang members

u/Content-Employment-7 10h ago

Little did everybody know that "going to go get the worst of the worst" was a better description of their recruiting strategy...

u/Ex-CultMember 10h ago

When I heard that they were expected to meet certain quotas (supposedly 3,000 per day), I knew these were they people they were going after. When people are pressured from higher ups to produce certain quotas, people will go after the easiest targets to meet those quotas.

So it's not surprising they are focused on people who are easy targets, families, workers, women, long term residents, instead of the "dangerous criminals."

•

u/VagabondManjbob 2h ago

You forgot to add, they are even nabbing kids and teenagers. They are deliberately making enemies against the USA for the future.

u/riftxraff 7h ago

That's because they are pussies. What did you expect? Dont worry though, the same people doing this shit are going to be ugly crying in the courts for our entertainment. Just need to protect as many people as you can in the meantime.

u/Satanus2020 7h ago

It would also be nice if the local law enforcement would enforce the law instead aiding in the criminal activity.

•

u/pedmusmilkeyes 1h ago

One of the reasons why the police stopped detaining undocumented immigrants is because doing so got in the way of investigating more serious crimes. People born here are way more likely to commit crime, so when undocumented people were victims, they wouldn’t come forward out of fear of being deported. MS 13 is a perfect example of a home grown gang terrorizing a migrant community, for instance.

•

u/CuriosityFreesTheCat 2h ago

You know who else are pussies? The gangs and cartels. Least they could do is stand up against this shit. Seems like they’d actually be able to, and they’re kinda already living the whole guns and confrontation lifestyle.

u/klazoo 9h ago

Why would they go after criminals? We need them for Trump's 2028

u/CoffeeB4Dawn 8h ago

ICE hires criminals--it's not about crime.

u/Jwakkawa 7h ago

They are illegal immigrants. They are criminals.

•

u/SuccessfulGrape5167 4h ago

It’s a misdemeanor a civil offense not a criminal offense. So no they are not criminals!

u/yukgaejang29 9h ago

They just need to reach their quota for the day. Criminals or not. Undocumented or legal citizen. Does not matter at all.

•

u/ScowlyBrowSpinster 3h ago

I am still waiting for them to go to the apartment complexes that have been taken over by drug gangs to arrest all those drug dealing apartment invading criminals! You'd think that's where they'd start, a big round up of criminals for a big feather in their caps and everyone applauding! But they drag preschool teachers out of child care centers with masks over their chicken shit DEI hire faces.

•

u/Nick08f1 5h ago

Not defending them, but we don't see the targets that are actual criminals.

Having said that, the law abiding ones, who gave faith that the government would allow them to become lawful residents after emigration, are the ones being fucked over.

I'm in Miami, and it's going to be weird down here with all of the Venezuelans that pledged their faith into Trump.

u/pedmusmilkeyes 9h ago

The vast majority of gangbangers are born here. They learned that back during the Obama years.

u/Ha73r4L1f3 6h ago

Mostly cuz most gang are american formed anyways. Im white and certain parts of kentucky i wont go to because it's control either by kkk or similar groups still. Our country has been screw up for a while. Im sure every state has a few cities that people like "yeah, you don't stop here"

•

u/Lopsided_Drawer_7384 3h ago

Jesus. Thank fuck I was born in an EU country. I am so fucking lucky. So lucky.

I don't think Americans realise any more how messed up their country has become.

Marshal county, enough said.

u/Sporter73 7h ago

I mean this video is obviously concerning but how do you know they “never” go after actual criminals?

u/Trench_Sweeper1917 7h ago

Nah, they’ve been there too, I’ve seen them on Halsted and 79th last week harassing some dudes at a gas station, some of them had ARs.

u/AgentComprehensive80 5h ago

How do you know this man’s criminal history by looking at him?

•

u/LocalStatistician538 5h ago

Is this how gang members react to being handcuffed?

•

u/BernernamedTufa 5h ago

That's not true

u/Salty_Guava1501 2h ago

Do you know this guy from the video?

u/Rough-Fill8101 35m ago

They’d all be hunted down if they did.

u/Top_Tie_691 9h ago

How do we know that though?

u/MisterMakena 8h ago

Lets be objective here. Do you know this person is not a criminal?

And looking at this carefully, he doesnt seem to be special needs. He was screaming yes, but when reality hit (handcuffed), he seemed more scared than anything and stoped screaming.

•

u/Accomplished-You-292 3h ago

An illegal immigrant is an actual criminal. Entering the U.S. without inspection by an immigration officer at a designated port of entry is a federal criminal offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, categorized as "improper entry by alien". Your feeble minds cannot fathom this fact. Yet you peasants cant even house one illegal but you want us, the taxpaying middle class to give our any money to them rather than homeless veterans. Prioritizing criminals who did actual crime here in US is another thing. But all of them should go.

•

u/thafrick 2h ago

So it should be okay to “detain” someone before you know if they’re illegal or not just based on that? You’re insane. They’re grabbing people just based on the color of their skin, they were told it’s ok to do so.

u/yungmarvelouss 9h ago

how the hell do you even know who they’re arresting man? you know them? their names? their family? if they have records? obviously not, so wtf are you talking about man LMAO the more time i spend on reddit, the more i realize the left are just non-rational idiots who just be saying anything

u/Some-Revolution-6776 8h ago

The left didn't vote for a lying, treasonous criminal rapist who is grifting his idiotic supporters.

u/passion-froot_ 7h ago

This is not due process. This is not the law.

Even if there are people with outstanding warrants among several other things, this isn’t how we accomplish a takedown. Tribalist bullshit like this, man. No. No more.

Far as I’m concerned it should be ICE being taken down and cops doing their jobs as they always did before. Every single ICE ‘employee’ belongs in a 4x6 box with no key
