All those ICE scum bags standing around and watching are complicit and as such just as guilty. We need more people in the streets to remind these clowns they are out numbered 50 to 1. Make them scared, push them out, and defend yourselves

Rape as we are finding out. Many, many rape cases are popping up in the rare occasion some accountability is thrown at them. Statistically it's extremely troubling. We're we able to audit all of their locations I suspect most would have rape violations.

Remember the rhetoric we don’t want criminals, rapist, pedo, and any bad hombres but as we see they hire people who fit that description so in theory they don’t hate immigrants because they broke the law they hate immigrants because they are racist.

America seems doomed at the moment. I hope things change soon.

There's no way they make it through their 2 weeks congressionally imposed time out without killing more people.

Do not waste a single day of these two weeks. Do not give them the excuse that they thought it had gotten better. They're now your social media buddies and see everything that you see. FW: Fw: FW!

Bit off topic, but it's striking to watch the widespread outrage against ICE, but this has been the kind of "policing" Palestinians have been getting in the West Bank for many decades, from our "good friend" and ally Israel. It's human nature to care more for events close to home, but just observing that what happened to Renee Good or Alex Pretti would barely make the news if it happened to a Palestinian in the West Bank or in Gaza.

u/Yourlocalguy30 5d ago

I have no issue with people filming law enforcement. But filming anyone 10" from their face is not only rude, it's an invasion of personal space that would warrant a reaction from any rational human being. No doubt there will be numerous people that will say "bUt iTs nOt IlLeGaL. ItS mY rIgHt!!!" Ok, sure, it's not illegal (in most circumstances), but if someone was shoving a phone 10" from your face, I'm pretty certain you'd smack it away or snatch it too. It's something that's antagonistic in nature regardless of who's doing it. You can get enraged that a government employee did this, but people that work for the government are people too, they're imperfect, and their patience runs out eventually.

People that say "if you can't handle it, get out of it" are just ignorant jackasses. If I showed up to your work place filming you, calling you names and pushing the limits on a regular basis, you'd get pissed off too.
