ICE wants to hire contractors to monitor social media for threats. Those who criticize the agency could be pulled into the dragnet.

Allow me to exercise our first constitutional right:

In my opinion ICE is a sycophantic, family-destroying, hate-fueled agency intent on filling it's ranks with slavering, rabid dogs focused solely on ripping people apart. Here's a hashtag for you: #normalizeICEhate

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If ICE starts coming for leftists who are critical of them, they'll be dealing with a lot of second Ammendment rights.

Come at me, nazi fucks. Dealing with them is a bit of a family tradition. It just skipped a generation.

My guess is it'll be the other way around. Someone kills an ICE person and when they get support online they'll use it as an excuse of "they're supporting a terrorist! Terrorism is illegal!"

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fuck ICE, the US doesn't need a gestapo.

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago

Yo, fuck ICE

Well, the Justice Department made us one anyway. As of February 5th, they have permission to respond to unfair criticism.

Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice's top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.

promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism

Pretty sure that violates the first amendment. Makes me think there's a lot of other laws they're violating, which really makes me think they need aggressive reforms.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, it absolutely does. Do you know who enforces compliance with constitutional law? The US Marshalls, who report to the Department of Justice.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Huh? Your excerpt only says that the death penalty is for capital crimes against them, like killing them.

Defund ICE 🥰

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope an ICE brute trying to deport someone dies today and I hope it hurts

[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I post negative things about ICE online. You fascist cunts. Every person working for ICE is a disgusting gestapo piece of human garbage.

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I keep seeing jobs posted for it support for ice on LinkedIn and indeed, wish I could just block them entirely.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apply for them. All of them.

The CIA figured out that one of the best ways to fight fascism is to bog it down in bureaucracy.

Get thousands of people to apply and accept interviews and take up as much time of their as possible.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Accept the job and start slowing down things from the inside.

"Oops, it looks like the database and all of the backups accidentally got deleted"

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let’s schedule a meeting about that. Invite… EVERYONE… muahahahaha!

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I don't see how postings warnings of ICE being in my area could be construed as negative unless ICE sees their actions as negative.

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just love ice so much I gotta tell all my friends whenever I see em!!!

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

It's the same as cops getting pissed off when drivers alert others about speed traps.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Besides, when I said ICE can go fuck itself, I was obviously talking about the weather.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

All my homies hate I.C.E.

Saw a picture the other day of some Latina carrying a sign that read, "I drink my horchata warm, because I hate I.C.E. that much."

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 17 points 1 year ago

Fuck you, ICE. Come do something about me.

Fucking Gestapo

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

ICE can investigate deez nuts.

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Does Ice have a lemmy account? I would like to tag them every time I call them slimy pieces of shit.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Any ICE agent who reads this, I beg you to shoot yourself.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While standing in a perfect row with your coworkers

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

Yes, I am.

Everyone involved in ICE can remove their sidearm, place it firmly against their temples, and squeeze.

I wouldn't piss on them to set out a fire.

[–] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

Fuck I.C.E.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I hope cyberbullying ice agents makes them... uhhhh...

Rethink their lives and pursue a different course of action.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

ICE is a bullshit outfit. Fuck you.

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The whole bag, not just a few off the top

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And the bag too!

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Time to brush up on signal and tor and vpns, friends.

it is a moral imperative to distribute a low-resource computer virus which surreptitiously googles incriminating things every couple of hours

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Get fucked ICE you fascist pieces of shit.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a tool at work called ICE (it's an acronym). I'm thinking about renaming it NICE.

That means "No Internment Camp Enforcement"

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ICE agents are racist shitbags.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

I use shit bags for my dogs on walks, they're quite useful.

ICE on the other hand...

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Everyone whos ever worked for ice as well as all of their families should be flayed alive as a warning to would be repeats

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Hey ICEFuck you

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

For the record - FUCK YOU ICE!
