    • They do not identity themselves.
    • They refuse to shows badges.
    • They hide their identities.
    • They would rather leave then try to do what they claim their job is when confronted about any of this.

    At what point can we start calling them paramilitary?

        I’m pretty much leaning into conspiracy here and think more people should too. If you really want someone to do something about this we’ll need to get the right wing people in on this. Otherwise we’ll all just talk about it online and but not do anything about this.

        I have a feeling this is some type of Private contractor situation which is why they don’t want to be identified.

          So far, confronting them and demanding they identify themselves while filming / live streaming has been pretty good at making them leave.

      even if they were, the denial of due process is the most abhorrent part of this.

      Giving ICE a large heaping benefit of doubt, every person who has been deported should have had their day in court.

      This is rotten all the way down. The legislative branch has done fuck all. States governments haven’t done shit to stop ICE. Judiciary hasn’t held anyone into account.

      We, the people, can’t do anything except watch in horror because we’re all scared shitless.

    Masks or not, they’re going to get themselves killed.

    At some point, someone will resist being abducted and take one of them out. A mask doesn’t stop a bullet.

    It just hasn’t happened yet.

    How many of them will be brave enough to show up for work the next day?

      I’m going to preface this by says that I do not like ICE at all. And I do not agree with the why people are being deported.

      But, if one of them get killed, the rest will probably still show up to work. Cops get killed almost everyday here, and the departments are still full of cops.

      What will happen is the fat Cheeto in charge will use it as an excuse to impose martial law.

        Yes and a person driving to work gets killed every day. And so on.

        Its a large enough group where that’s almost background noise.

      My sister has a lot of anxiety about whether or not she’s acting like our mom, who was a real piece of shit. I always tell her that the fact that she’s even reflecting on it shows that she’s not. The defining feature of people who lack empathy is that they don’t self reflect. They lack the ability to understand others because they don’t even understand themselves.
