Agents break car windows even when sobbing children or pregnant women are inside

1. Yesterday, Malcolm Nance called them the Gestapo

They are illegal, they are hiding behind ICE. What they are doing is illegal.

Malcolm also said that Democrats need to be screaming.

[CozyMystery]

2. It is terrifying.

And ICE agents are thugs and no one who has the power is doing anything about it. I read the other day that people get a $50,000 bonus to join ICE. And they get to beat up people for fun. Who wouldn't want that job? /sarc

I'm glad my aunt, who lived to a very old age, died before this happened. She lived in the US as a resident with a green card, for many decades. Today, ICE agents would rough her up and toss her in a cage. My mother was a naturalized citizen. She also lived to an old age. This could have happened to her, too.

The maternal side of my family is German. Except for my mother and my aunt, they all live in Germany. They were young children during WW2 and it's aftermath. Both had serious PTSD, not only from the war, but also from the Russians taking over when the war ended. From that alone, ICE would have terrified them, even if no one came for them. The Russians were brutal when they took over East Germany. ICE is brutal. Enough said.

8. This. Our caucus has punked out.

Decades of being cowed into bootlicking and qualified immunity. Letting Willie Horton ads and other racist dog whistles stand.

Nazis imbeded in American Law Enforcement has ALWAYS been tolerated.

It's time to pay the piper in America. MAGA ain't going away and private equity don't give a shit.

[Omnipresent]

3. This is the face of America that trump and the Republican Party want to project.

We need to vote every last one of these assholes out of office!!

[MoseShrute]

4. Remember G Gordon Liddy?

We are on the path to this. Actually I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. He was talking about federal agents.

Liddy: Arm yourself. Get instructed in how to shoot straight.

Caller: I’ve got weapons.

Liddy: Absolutely. And don’t give ’em up, and don’t register either.

Caller: No way. And I’m aiming between the eyes.

Liddy: There you go. That way their flak jackets won’t protect them.

5. A naturalized US citizen friend, who is British, wants to go home to visit relatives,

but he's hesitant now. He fears he might not be allowed back into the US. Nasty man Trump is turning us into a country that embarrasses me.

6. I'd bet money that ICE is now filled with J6ers

Experienced at breaking windows and doors and assaulting anyone who gets in their way. And loyal to Orange Anus.

[Just Jerome]

9. J6ers,

proud boys, aryan cowboys, 3 percenters, klansmen, you name it.

[BonnieJW]

18. Eric Prince's band of sadists

[Nixie]

7. They are bounty hunters. I saw somewhere that Trump is offering

$50,000 signing bonuses to hunt immigrants—should have bookmarked that. Isn’t the ICE budget now more than a branch of the military?

[rubbersole]

13. More than the entire Russian military budget.

Unaccountable to anyone other than Noem/tsf. What could go wrong?

[AverageOldGuy]

10. ICE and Hamas

We moved from the house we built in rural VA 16 years ago into an apartment in Northern Virginia to "be closer to our children."

I work out in the apartment gym every morning, by myself, turn on CNN. This morning they were showing video of a funeral in Gaza, complete with Hamas fighters escorting the caskets -- dressed in camouflage, Kevlar vests, faces masked -- I thought I was watching an ICE raid.

[LuvLoogie]

11. I wonder

Is HAMAS paying a $50,000 signing bonus, with benefits and overtime? How many billions in their budget. I think ICE and the IDF have a similar budget, no?

[Joinfortmill]

12. We should begin recording this stuff on our phones

[rubbersole]

14. I agree. Document everything we can.

Problem is the only people that might be able to do anything about is the ACLU and local LEOs. For now.

[Javaman]

15. when thugs are given free reign to do as they please. nt

[calimary]

16. They're just following orders from jeer leader.

[Passages]

17. Disgusting and criminal.

[republianmushroom]

19. America's Gestapo in action.

[uponit7771]

20. Melt ICE

[Blue Owl]

21. The difference between Democratic and Republican has never been greater

Either you're for good or you're for evil.
