10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Doubtful.
ICE, CBP, and DHS have all drastically scaled back any activity against actual criminals.
They're going after the easiest targets possible, the cartels are probably loving trump. All he's doing is driving a wedge between governments and giving them more opportunities
Probably a lie to prime their supporters for when they push people far enough and one of them does get shot. They can claim the cartels are out of control and we need martial law to stop them.
Lol, this is just them trying to justify them hiding their faces, not wearing badges, refusing to identify themselves, and taking the license plates off their cars.
Sounds like propaganda.
Cartels tend to be relatively cautious on US soil and make a genuine effort to avoid generating heat. There is limited benefit for them to get engaged in something like this especially considering the politically sensitive nature of targeting ICE specifically.
It's not impossible for one or two individuals to "take matters in their own hands", but I can't see this being a blanket policy implemented by senior leaders of multiple cartel groups.
Cartels love to have drugs illegal, as that generates a ton of money. But they also want to make sure that they can operate without too much resistance. Not only does it not make sense to hunt for ICE officers instead of DEA agents, it would also be against their own business interests to generate this amount of heat.
Even hunting DEA agents is a massive stretch.
On a purely cost-benefit analysis basis, hunting for DEA agents is simply not worth it, it makes more business sense to take the loss and focus on the fact that drugs will continue to be profitable until there is full decriminalization (of any drug consumption) and legalization of less harmful drugs.
Well i don’t believe puppy killers so i’m gonna go ahead and press X to doubt.
Doxx is weirdly high. High ranking officials are weirdly low.
This is fake, but I wish it was real.
You don't think there's a booth with a neon flashing sign saying "cashout ICE bounties here" near the border with a cartel guy that is exchanging ICE corpses for large bags of cash?
Realistically, I'm sure most cartel members are on the ICE payroll for their day job. Not exactly an organization picky about who they hire.
do they have a gofund me?
So, obviously this is a lie, but I think it's interesting that they're having to resort to this particular lie. Until now the argument has basically been "Ooooh, spooky scary antifa protesters!" as justification for their extreme tactics, unwarranted use of force, concealed identities, and all of the other bullshit. The fact that they're now having to raise the spectre of evil scary cartels going after them tells you that the public isn't buying the "scary protesters" line at all. Portland, in particular, have demolished that idea with their dancing frogs, street parties and naked bike rides.
And also, now they might start arresting protesters on suspicion of being cartel hitters or some such bullshit.
Sure, but they've already got plenty of made up reasons to arrest people, all of which were harder to disprove than "Cartel hitman", a claim that would need serious fucking evidence.
Don't let them fool you. This isn't an escalation, it's a retreat. A small one, sure, but it signals that things aren't going their way.
Wishing does not make it so. This is so obviously fake. Why should the cartels give the US reason to go to open war on them?
And also the cartels employ many of those law enforcement officers, because of course they do, because it's much easier to smuggle dope when you own the cops. And they're probably not going to want to gun down their own employees, unless there's some good reason to do so.
I believe you have the power dynamic reversed.
Do you think the US would win Vietnam 2.0? Because that's what this would be.
I would not bet on the US winning it, but I can easily imagine the current US regime starting the big "South American War".
We already started a war in Guatemala in the 50s that's still going on sort of.
Oh for sure. No idea how they'd plan on determining who was a cartel soldier or not unless they just pull a genocide like Israel.
Especially considering the top recruiter and boss.
Definitely not true.
This is bullshit in the technical sense. It's not a lie, in the sense of hoping to deceive another with a known falsehood. It's speech uttered without any regard to whether it's true or not.
This just some bullshit nazis are spouting because they think they'll benefit by saying it.
Nah, that's not how its done. Saying they put a bounty on ICE is something a 10 year old would believe ... or a MAGA supporter.
I’m pretty sure they’re facing this resistance due to their thuggery when carrying out congress-passed laws.
ICE could be doing their job by helping immigrants navigate and fill out paperwork and educating new immigrants; instead they’re pepper bombing pastors standing in front of their offices praying for them.
Cartels…. Are somehow “antifa” when translated into MAGAmoron
This is fake. Most likely started by the twat waffles in office trying to stir up shit so they "have an excuse" to start openly firing on protestors.
Isn't 50k the same amount tom homan had in a bag. You don't think...
ABC is Sinclair, CBS is Bariweiss.com, MSN/NBC center right, CNN is trainwreck right. I can't trust legacy media.
Thanks Temu Hitler, you’ve got me siding with cartels.
Will they publish a list of dead ice agents? I want to point and laugh at their friends and family (the complicit ones at least)
10000000% BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA
How can I donate
Never thought i'd be saying: Based cartels if true.
Kaiser Sose ordered the hit
I already wonder now why they even exist (border patrol, ice). In the near future the US will need Ads at the border to invite people.
Currently they would have to pay me a very large monthly sum to even consider immigration. But it really has to be substantial.
Weird, I thought Trump was cool with bounties on government employees...
I wish
