The most recent incident was caught on video by Cruz Berrios on her cellphone. During the two-minute ordeal, which begins with the mother and daughter in a parked car, it shows ICE agents trying to convince Berrios to get out of the car.

After they didn’t, a masked man shamed her car window, unlocked the door, and removed the mother from the vehicle. “I’m not going to give you the order, it’s in the car,” the officer said just before the mother was taken from the car. “No!” the daughter screamed.

America is a fascist nation now.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Got to yelling at my fascist, MAGA neighbor. He came stomping down the street to kick my ass, I went in and grabbed my .45, stayed in. No threats were exchanged, no one saw a weapon.

This fucker calls the police! I cannot imagine what he thought he had to report or gain. Refused to talk to them, "Well, if you won't tell me your side of the story I can go get a warrant and arrest you for disturbing the peace." So, they threatened to arrest me on a trumped up (heh) charge for using my 5th Amendment right to stay silent, all because someone made a phone call. Gee! Can I do that to anyone?!

3 squad SUVs, 4 pigs, for some yelling. These filthy pigs roll up dressed head-to-toe in solid black paramilitary gear, real Hugo Boss SS shit. And this ACAB wants to come off as reasonable Officer Friendly?! BTW, these aren't big city cops, just a redneck suburb to a small city.

Been screaming for years now, we're not falling to fascism, we're there.

EDIT: Credit where it's due. They all appeared to be wearing body cams. The red LED was the only color on their uniform or gear. Asked the sheriff a few years back on FB WTF they don't wear cams. No answer.

Where are the second amendment people?

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Smashing windows.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Right fucking here. These fuckers come to my home for my brown wife, well, let's say I'm well prepared and I practice at least once a week.

When you understand 2nd ammendment was a law to oppress marginalized population by the majority who were able to afford it, you begin to understand it has always achieved its purpose. Like "freedom of speech" is mostly used to be racist.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

The amendment was a compromise so we didn't need a Federal Standing Army in 1792. All the bullshit came with specific laws.

America has always been fascist, but it is unsettling how the modern Sturmabteilung feels fine doing this in broad daylight during the last few months.

these criminals need to be shot down like they do to dogs

[–] Sirus@lemm.ee 75 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love how these ice pussies have to cover their faces because they are fucking cowards.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

NO BRO ITS NOT THAT BRO IM TOTALLY LIKE A SUPERHERO BRO THATS NOT FAIR BRO

If he's here to help us, why does he cover his face? I'll tell you why: because a man in a mask can't be trusted! He's not accountable to the law, to the people, to anyone! Spiderman is a menace!

[–] diykeyboards@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, another criminal off the street! That dangerous, nicely dressed middle aged woman and her evil daughter leaving their suburban home to go work for... checks notes ... the MS-13 street gang. Sure.

/s obviously

[–] Blinsane@reddthat.com 49 points 1 week ago

Damn. These fucks should be lynched. Too bad they're in the land of the weak and the home of the gutless.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's only one appropriate response to seeing someone getting kidnapped in the street. And it sure isn't a peaceful one.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

And no one does it because they're not the ones who are immediately affected.

First they came.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Damn, that mom is brave and a hell of a mom. The whole time telling her daughter, "it's okay, it's okay. Don't worry." Whole staying calm and collected.

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago

Fucking hell, this is so sad. As soon as they smashed the window Elsy switched to reassuring her daughter - "Don't worry, everything will be okay. I'm fine." She knew it was over for her and just needed to make sure her daughter didn't do anything to make her get taken too.

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why do all the ice agents look incredibly out of shape

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago

They're average Americans. Americans are fucking fat.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

Same reason most Klansmen are fat.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 3 points 6 days ago

You have to dig through rock bottom to find someone who would do that job.
