there is no current word on their condition as the situation is evolving, but i am expecting both to be dead and hope to be wrong. either way, ICE nazis are committed to upholding fascism at the expense of human lives. we are more unsafe now than we’ve been before in this administration. ICE does not view any of us as exceptions. we will be slaughtered if Der Führer demands it.

      I feel like they inherently lose any legitimacy when using emotive language like “vicious” in official statements from a public body

        Yup, it’s an immediate red flag that you’re dealing with propaganda rather than actual reporting. So gross to see official US government statements being written like a 4chan post. So it goes with fascists.

        They lost legitimacy about 12 months ago when the CROTUS (child rapist of the united states) installed loyalists despite their lack of experience or truthfulness.

        Doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll claim you were a threat…

        The only exception is carrying a big fuck off rifle yourself, because then you’re actually a threat.

        I’ve never seen a video or heard of an event where American law enforcement murdered a civilian while sympathetic protesters carrying rifles were within line of sight.

        We all know they’re cowards. We’d be stupid not to do the one thing that prevents overreach.

        Although the victim was allegedly heard to have said that they were simply “blowing their nose,” the ICE agent on-scene assessed that the domestic terrorist foreign gang member was actually about to weaponize the Kleenex, and shot the evil libtard in the face six times in self-defence.

      this is contributing to the false narrative that ICE is legitimate. they aren’t. they should have never been established and must be abolished. not only that but their current iteration is acting on illegal orders by a fascist dictator president. even if what they’re saying is true it doesn’t justify their actions because they shouldn’t fucking be there in the first place.

        It’s an entire agency that is 90% staffed with tactical units enforcing MISDEMEANOR civil infractions that the supreme court gave unlimited authority because their scope of work was narrow to the limit where normal people shouldn’t ever encounter them.

        It’s wild how many people legitimately don’t know it didn’t exist 25 years ago…

        Like, obviously we don’t need it, it’s practically brand new for a federal agency. The only reason it’s as big as it is, is we e been rotating between neoliberals and republicans for 30 years, while both groups moved right.

      “fearing for his life”, unfortunately they’re all about to understand what that really means if things get more out of hand across the country

      Its not a lie, there’s a formal point system to determine whether someone is associated with Tren de Aragua. 8 points means they’re definitely a part of the gang.

      It’s 3 points for being in the US without documentation, 6 points for associating with any known members and 2 points for any social media posts containing “associated references”.

      Practically every Venezuelan is part of the gang according to the DoJ. So it’s not a lie, just guilt by association.

      could be true, could be false. ICE has lost all credibility and blatantly makes shit up. Is this a time when they are being honest or is this more made up shit? who knows, but probably more bullshit
