What’s new is that the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them — all of them part of a supposed left-wing conspiracy to violently oppose the president’s agenda.
Come and get me, motherfuckers.
Quo vadis USA?
That’s what happens if you give sad little kids tremendous power instead of love and therapy.
instead of love and therapy.
Way too late for that. But i honestly think if he was loved as a child nobody outside of upper class new york would have known his name.
Sounds great to me? The not-have-known-his-name-part.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a recent interview that his agency intended to probe anti-fascist and anti-ICE protesters and those that support them. “We are going to track the money. We are going to track these ringleaders.” He went on to claim, without evidence, that many of the protesters in Chicago were “professional agitators that are being brought in.”
Why bother, just listen to any right wing political commentator over the last 10 years, it’s all George Soros right?
god they look stupid. why is the only thing they don’t copy from nazi germany consistent uniforms?
Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.
It is sort of funny, part of the reason Nazi ideology has the lasting power it does is probably because of their aesthetics and intimidating/‘strong’ fascist image, but when people look at ICE and MAGA in the future they’ll be like “wow look at these losers.”
It’s all from Temu and Amazon
I wonder how it would be if the protesters and observers bought the same shit off of Amazon and such and wore it while monitoring these Nazi bastards.
GOV X DOT COM !
So they look like a criminal gang instead of an official government agency. Makes them easier to confuse with home invaders that can be shot.
It’s because they bought it all themselves from different companies because none of this was thought out or planned in any way.
🍿 will the US implode before it can start a world war?
Find out in 2-3 weeks.
I’m slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.
I’ve been thinking that for weeks now.
Not only that, imploding could further inflame the world. If a collapsing us goes into Greenland, and the EU splits in half over whether to side with Denmark or the US (remember, Poland is totally dependant on US nuclear deterrent, they are not likely to abandon that). That will empower Putin to move in. That China will be unrestrained is not even questionable. Things will get hotter everywhere.
Nah, most people in the US have no idea any of this is going on. For the vast majority of Americans, their daily lives have not been affected at all. None of my coworkers are talking about ICE. Personally I haven’t since a single ICE officer since. They only go after the “liberal” states. Purple and Red states are being left alone for the time being.
Reminds me of that poem. How does it go again? “First they came for the…”
SS baby
Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention…(murdering fellow Americans).
Yeah, no shit.
I’m sure palantir has a list for them. Vance already said they’re going to start going door to door and they have absolute immunity
If they come to my door I’m going to see how immune they are to a Beretta 1301. Because I’m not getting disappeared to a third world country for being brown.
I keep saying EVERYONE needs to exercise their second amendment. Make sure these ICE folks know how risky their job is. Maybe they will quit.
It’s going swimmingly I see

No shit, they already shot at least 1.
GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They shot many more. They killed at least one.
epicthundercat@lemmy.world 1 week ago
They killed two here in Portland and then denied it after our media covered it. Somehow the files went missing.

We all knew they would start wholesale hunting, imprisonment, torture, and murder of antifascists eventually.
Nothings changed. Antifascists need to be prepared for the inevitable now more than ever.

Around 600,000 people go missing each year in the US. 533,936 reported in 2024. I’m sure undocumented people would be less likely to be reported missing as well. I would be completely unsurprised to learn there were ICE squads disappearing people off official records.

Bad data, or more accurately an attempt to misrepresent the data.
This is basically a total number of all open missing persons cases, not number of cases per year. This represents all open cases within the past 34 years. If we assume an equal rate of people going missing persons year that becomes about 18,000 people a year.
If you actually look at your data you’ll see a pretty sharp decrease in missing persons cases since the 90s.
We know ICE is committing legal actions daily, so what’s the point in trying to misrepresent data and pin this on them in anyway? Even if the argument is so many people go missing its easy for ICE to dissappear people, it fall apart quickly when you look at the actual numbers. They wouldn’t be able to dissappear many people before causing a significant increase in missing persons reports
