And who will be the defendant in the case? An anonymous masked thug? Who’s to say who he really was?
This is why ICE hides their faces and refuses to show ID. Deny, deny, deny.
The Dept of Homeland Security would be the dedendant, I’d guess. Yeah, a lot of hurdles to winning such a case and IANAL so not sure if such a case was even actionable…but as I said, if they do have a case I hope they pursue it. Concerted pushback is our only shot.
Even Frankie Five Angels didn’t put a hit on the guy who played “Pop Goes the Weasel” instead of a tarantella.
I’m deeply concerned about the lack of outrage at this stuff.
I listen to Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and while they’ve covered that there are protests ongoing, stories like that of the clarinet player would have been, once upon a time, national stories in their own right.
Would they be treated the same way if they had said, for example, that they thought “Crooked Hillary” or “Sleepy Joe Biden” deserved death? Hm.
LA County has declared a state of emergency because of the ICE raids.
LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County officials voted Tuesday to declare a state of emergency that gives them power to provide assistance for residents they say have suffered financially from ongoing federal immigration raids.
My Maga boss has no problem with the raids. He has no problem with masked men snagging people with no warrant. He figures a few Americans accidentally being included is an acceptable price to pay to rid the Country of all the “illegals”. I think he and I have reached a point where we will not be able to discuss politics anymore. I’m not sure I can continue to work for him. I feel gross about it.
He’s undoubtedly absolutely sure that those “few” will never include him or anyone he cares about.
In my discussions with MAGA, you can wind them up by pointing out that if a few restrictions on the 4th amendment are justified by the current situation, the same could be said about limitations on the second. That gets them really upset and I’ve yet to hear one make a reasonable argument as to why it isn’t the same thing.
Once in a while you do get through. But only for a moment. They’re good at pushing these thoughts out.
Him and Charlie Kirk.
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the case of Subu Vidam. He can to America from India when he was nine months old, served 43 years in prison on a wrongful conviction for a murder he didn’t commit, was exonerated and freed, and has now been picked up by ICE.
So is ICE actually purchasing Chemical weapons and warheads? AI claims they are not.
No, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not purchasing guided missiles
. The idea is a misunderstanding stemming from an Israeli-made weapons system also called “Ice Breaker”.
Here is a breakdown of the facts:
- A weapon called “Ice Breaker”: The confusion likely arises from a guided missile system called “Ice Breaker,” produced by the Israeli defense company Rafael. This weapon is designed for use on military aircraft and naval vessels, not for law enforcement or immigration enforcement.
But if you google ‘is ics buying guided missiles’, there are a lot of links claiming they have. I have no idea anymore what a good cite is. Except here.
Repeating something some AI told you is not a good cite.
Most of the spending was on guns and armor, but there have also been significant purchases of chemical weapons and “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” Ref
Which he cites to the Federal Procurement Data System (currently offline due to the Shutdown, purportedly).
I’d personally read “chemical weapon” to include anything from mace spray to Zyklon B, with the most likely read being well to towards the former end of the spectrum. Likewise with “guided missiles and explosive components”, while that could include ICBMs, it also includes flash bangs. It’s far more likely to be a reference to something like a flash bang.
That all said, if Trump decided to mobilize ICE into the border towns and attack cartel outposts, they could need some of the heavier gear. Properly, any such work would be done by the military but I’m not sure that Trump distinguishes.
Guided missiles could be Hellfires, which as I understand it are quite the force multiplier when attached to drones. According to a book I read (“Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves”) about the development of weaponized drones, it was not a long journey from “can we even do this?” to “which window do you want to put the ordnance through?” If the mission is to bomb cartel safehouses and boats, I’d want piles of Hellfires.
And deported after they “misplace” your papers.
My apologies. You’re right, of course.
ICE is starting to have some difficulty recruiting agents who can do a push-up. Also they are getting annoyed at all the online videos showing people easily outrunning them.
The new term is “athletically allergic”. 
“Who knew thuggery needed cardio?”
Maybe Noem should arrange a pep talk from Hegseth about fitness in the service.
But Jesus on a rollerskate, 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups and 14 minutes to do a mile and a half? That’s it? The Space Force has harder standards than that.
