Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,
I’d need to see some exceptionally compelling evidence to be convinced they weren’t actually just ICE officers doing this.
And later in the story…
A senior ICE official tells WIRED: “Anyone caught impersonating themselves as a federal immigration agent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Impersonating a federal immigration officer endangers public safety and erodes trust in law enforcement.”
Only the bootliquors still have any trust remaining. Fucking trust. Lol
They’re doing their best.
I worry that they’ll claim wearing a mask is “impersonating a federal immigration officer”, especially when it’s bad enough the protests happen in earnest.
Shhhhh! Don’t give those fuckers any ideas!
agreed its too suspicious they are not ice, they would doing it in red areas to, which they arnt.
We’ve reached a point where lawlessness is being championed by both the law and criminals. Add to that we have elected a felon/pedophile president. What a time to be alive - sigh.
What gets me is that the bothsiders are still screeching about the situation they helped get everyone into.
Nuance, reality and pragmatism be damned.
Ice are criminals
But then Nana will know they raised a little failure of a fasciat and their immigrant wives won’t make them pancakes.
Oh, oh, I know! How about they release an app, or a website, where we can take a picture of the face of any of these Agents, and it will confirm if they’re actually one or not.
On a serious note, it would be very useful to have a better system of confirming who is an actual agent or not. Something like plugging their badge number into a website and they have to confirm a daily code or similar.
Wow, what a great idea.
And agents who don’t do this, or do other illegal acts should be dealt with. Right? Hello?
Well, that’s all very cool.
How about ICE stop wearing those goddamned masks so they can be identified?
ICE agent takes his mask of
Me: Who the fuck is this guy?
I say we make it a general rule, antifa also has to de-mask and both sides get identified.
Holy shit. You’re the first right-winger I’ve seen on lemmy. Pathetic!
i’ve actually have seen a few today, i think they are raiding servers to spout their shit
Is the antifa in the room with you right now?

you being bothered by anti-fascists tells me everything about you
antifa
What the fuck? Are anti-fascists going around and disappearing people?
both sides
Sigh.
both sides
It’s the mating call of the Dweebish Magat Imbecile, an invasive and non protected species.
Maybe they could go after the real criminals then?

I don’t know, and yet ice constantly fucks it up

I have seen very little of the footage I’ve seen of ice through the media. What a weird assumption for you to make. I think they fuck it up because they’re constantly fucking it up.
Immigration laws are civil, not criminal. Undocumented immigrants aren’t criminals.

you saying I’m misunderstanding something doesn’t make it true.
As it stands there’s 2 situation in which imigration could lead to criminal charges- one is re-entering after deportation. This really doesn’t happen. The other is entering at a place or time not designated. This also really doesn’t happen. (The people crossing the border are being “caught” by Border Patrol officers because they sit down and wait to be caught, and then invoke their right to seek asylum. something which is legal.)
neither of these are happening. Immigration court isn’t even able to try a criminal case, because immigration law is not criminal law.

You got a source on that there bullshit?
Facebook doesn’t qualify. neither does twitter. Nor does the 2 Pump Chump.
You comfortable with how it’s being enforced currently?
Historically, those who have been anti-immigration (and almost always nativist) have found themselves on the backfoot of contemporary history; choked and fetted by their own irrational hatred. Oftentimes, they’ve served as phenomenal kindling to their own demise.
Just another bloated body to be sloughed off.

Then stop whining and sign up as a Brownshirt and tell them how it’s done.
And there’s always room in the top if you are good at brown nosing.

So what I infer from this comment is that you really want to but are somehow not able, because of age, geographical location, or being 3 racoons in a trenchcoat.
Based on their brief comment history, yes. Another day, another new account to block (not yours lol).
Up until it personally affects them, yes, they will be. Condescendingly judgemental pricks are always too short-sighted to ever imagine they’d possibly be subject to their own bullshit hatred.
No one is illegal on stolen land.

That’s an absurd extrapolation. These people are productive members of society, and homelessness is a solution handled by building housing.

The moral justification for upending people’s lives or worse based on the circumstances of their birth and what paperwork they’ve been able to complete?

Some of them are probably real ICE.
Plausible deniability.
Reports of a masked ICE Agent murdering an individual filming an ICE raid, then fleeing the scene. “That wasn’t an actual ICE agent. Don’t worry, it’s… ‘under investigation’ and we’ll never release any information about the incident ever again.”
Aaaaannnnddd ding ding ding, you won this round!
So we’re allowed to shoot them in self defense now if they don’t ID?
The fact that this isn’t an every day occurrence confuses the shit out of me.
Americans are cowards. They’re more worried about losing their shitty jobs that they hate than they are about losing their country (and with it, their shitty jobs anyway). What’s confusing?
Or if they do.
Yes, and I am shocked this hasn’t already happened.
The majority of ICE then
There was a difference?
One is a group of despicable masked bandits who instill fear, destroy livelihoods, and operate outside the confines of the legal system
The other group are criminals
Can we go backing to my ancestors banditry where you mug Mormons and rob trains?
BANG
Take off the masks, you fucking cowards
I guess they don’t want people harassing them at home.
They also see no irony in that at all sadly.
This surprises exactly no one.
