That's the ticket! Mob justice! Time to show that the general public and more importantly neighborhoods aren't going to take this tyrannical crap!

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

This won't stop until the job becomes too dangerous for them to do.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

And is the mayor's office and the district attorney's office inundated with calls from their constituents demanding accountability for the behaviour of the local police here? Are there locally elected officials being shouted at by their constituents into taking action to thwart, delay, frustrate ICE operations?

With how many people open carry this is dangerous. If they continue to literally KIDNAP people on the streets, somebody will get shot eventually.

[–] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

people have been saying this for weeks. 0 incidents so far.

Seems like gun owners are A-OK with this going on.

[–] innermachine@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I just moved out of mass a year ago I used to live 15 mins from Worcester where this happened. Just last year they passed a bunch of crazy gun laws so if u didn't already have firearms your not getting much in that state these days ...

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

Just never look at the YouTube comments. They are HEAVILY botted.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So they build an infrastructure, hire a lot of people, get the legal cover they need, deport millions...

Then they have this whole process ready to go with no immigrants left to deport.

Do you think it all gets shut down? Detention centers closed, ICE agents fired, etc?

Or will they feed the new machine with other groups? LGBT? Muslims? Political opponents?

Just food for thought.

In a different part of the world, about 90 years ago, dealing with undesirable people started with prototyping the framework on the weakest individuals.

People with mental disabilities would be shipped to the other end of the country, and there be gassed. Those gassings were in some cases proof of concept for the use of various gasses later on.

I do see the similarities. But I don't believe that the US administration is actively exterminating immigrants. But "at least they're not genocidal" is a pretty low fucking bar to clear. And I'm not sure that we've seen it all yet.

If I was living in the US, I'd get out ASAP. I mean sell my house, even at loss, and GTFO. If being latino with a knuckle tattoo will get you shipped to an El Salvadorian torture prison, what will happen when you post a comment about Trumpaloompa?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago

Hitler's original plan was to deport all the Jews. Extermination then came as a matter of practicability. Don't let it fool you, this absolutely checks out, they're laying the groundwork for genocide.

When did the German population learn about the gassing?

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Many of them literally called it the German equivalent of 'fake news' after Hitler spent many years persecuting the independent press, which he and Himmler would smear with the derogative term 'Lügenpresse'.

One of the many reasons that Eisenhower forced Germans from towns nearby to tour the camps, and had army documenters and media film the camps to later force adult German citizens to watch while under occupation. Many of them simply chose to believe the obvious lies, and ignore all the evidence they'd seen - it was easier than the awful truth.

If you lived near one of the camps, you 100% knew.

“put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”

They put their disgusting little hands on the officers, they deserve to be shot!

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

The officers do, indeed, deserve to be shot.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (3 children)

These ice agents deserve to be targeted. Yes, I am advocating violence against agents like this.

[–] interested_party@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I fully agree. With the lack of respect for the law I don't understand why there aren't uprisings and riots in the streets by now!

[–] KittyKalledKarma@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago

Americans are being scarily apathetic to full takeover of fascism happening there. The constitution is already nullified if judges, mayor's and those decrying fascism and authoritarianism are being locked away.. the night is dark. They should be going by now but alas.

Man I hope that when this is over, these thugs are hunted to the end of their existence and imprisoned, no matter their age. They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old. "Just following orders" shouldn't fly.

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old.

Hide them in Argentina while giving them top positions at NASA and the CIA?

“We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.

“The crowd was unruly,” police said in a statement, claiming several individuals “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”

There's no reason to believe that they're federal agents if they refuse to show ID. And there's no law against putting your hands on gang members kidnapping one of your neighbors while impersonating federal agents. These dipshits are out of control and fucking stupid.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

They won't listen to reason. Only a good beatdown will convince them.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's no reason to believe that they're federal agents if they refuse to show ID.

This is what I don't understand. What's then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can't take the person away? And then claim they don't need to show ID?

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

people should start impersonating as ICE and start arresting ICE agents.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

This isn't even a joke. And I think this might actually happen at some point.

[–] Mister_Hangman@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I’m just pleading for them to do this to the wrong set of people who take 2A seriously.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that’s interesting in of itself. They’re not going after gang members or violent offenders, they’re going for non violent/dangerous people.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

I was in several protests that were violently suppressed by police in the US, using tear gas, flash bangs, beatings etc. After threats and fascist violence, groups of armed leftists joined in more frequently. For whatever reason I can't recall the police attacking while they were there. Like the IDF killing children, they only want defenseless victims.

What's to stop residents from doing a citizen's arrest of these thugs who fail to properly identify and show a warrant? They're bound to be shot by a good guy with a gun soon...

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It could have been conjecture but I read on her a few days back that an executive order had absolved ICE from needing to show a warrant, maybe even ID.

I understand that's a massive erosion of American people's constitution but, well, colour me shocked!

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

hmm if there is no need to show warrant or ID then everyone can impersonate as ICE easily.

Maybe installing a government run by neo-Nazis was a bad idea?

Why aren't Americans shooting at ICE agents. It's that what the 2nd amendment was for?

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Right, but if you start shooting, then you're 100% dead, and for what? A 10pm news blip? Defend yourself, but dont commit suicide for nothing. Organize and resist.

For context, this is in Worcester, MA. Fairly Democrat and progressive area. It’s not like this was happening in Ohio or Nebraska.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is by design. Have it happen in select locations (Colorado, Massachusetts) so the rest of the country can dismiss it as, "well, at least they aren't here," or a detached, "they probably deserved it," while the behavior is normalized. They've started in Tennessee now to get red states normalized.

It's all a highly illegal long con so people don't realize the country's freedoms and laws being slowly eroded until it is too late.

Stay vigilant.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

20k new ICE agents on the way too. Now all the gravy SEAL cosplayers can join up and hurt immigrants. Brown Shirts mobilizing. Authoritarian apparatus is gaining momentum.

This is Trump's America.

Notice how she speaks perfect English. This is clearly someone who doesn't belong in the US /s

What a fucking joke of a country.
