Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

These fuckers brutally abducted some dude who was just going out to get food, wouldn't even let him show his ID proving he was a citizen til after they'd taken him in for processing, and then when he asked for a ride home because they were the ones who'd fucked up, they told him to walk home in the snow.

Guy's been in the US since he was 1 year old.

ICE needs to burn -- not melt, burn -- in Hell or something.

it's instructive to me that these people are unlikely to think critically about how much of a paper trail exists of their crimes against humanity.

paystubs, residences, socials, etc.

in many of the pogroms and organized state terror campaigns that happened in the last 50 years, the kidnappings, disappearances, and killings lacked documentation and/or were carries out by irregular forces and contractors hidden behind corporate secrecy veils.

but federal government payrolls are pretty resiliently archived and will be at "risk" for declassifying by any administration or reconstituted government for the foreseeable future.

its a special kind of pride that never even considers the possibility that their actions today, obscured by mask and badge, could one day be exposed for all to know.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think that they simply expect these records documenting their crime will never be used to bring them to justice. And looking at the way the world looks and where its going they are probably not likely to be wrong about that assessment.

That tweet where some lib was fanficing the Hamilton cast wagging their fingers at Trump while singing "History Has Its Eyes On You"

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 62 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not even hyperbolic to call them brown shirts anymore or a paramilitary loyal to the president. This is the type of death squad shit you'd hear about Dole funding in Latin America come home to roost.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 48 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I really think if someone unloaded on a group of ICE goons they would be seen like the CEO shooter by a lot of people, even my relatively conservative Christian grandma has called MAGA Nazis since 2016.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's bound to happen right? I mean it'd take nothing for some ice ss troopers to roll up to the wrong house and be on the receiving end of a semi automatic weapon. Shit, just a few months ago they blew open someone's door for recording them, afaik, well try that shit on some 2A nutter's compound.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm surprised that they haven't gone after a 2a nut just by mistake and gotten blasted, seems like every other week a gun nut shoots someone for trying to deliver food, use their driveway to turn around, knock on the wrong door by mistake, or any other number of reasons they shoot someone. I just figured eventually one of them would be accosted by unidentified masked paramilitaries and decide to started-blasting

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gun nuts are largely reactionary cowards. They see a group of well armed people with automatic weapons, armor, they assume they're cops or at the very least that they can't take them and will be killed so would never engage. There are occasionally exceptions that are nihilistic mass shooter types who would be willing to kill the feds but they usually tend to hunker down so unless they burst into the home fortress of one of those types it's not likely to happen.

Thing is ICE can't go into homes without warrants as I understand it. Which is why most of their stuff happens in driveways, at schools, outside in various places, workplace raids, etc. So their chances of running into and disturbing a burrowed in like a tick extremist with a siege mentality and heavy weapons and a willingness to use them to kill feds is very, very low compared to even normal cops responding to domestic violence calls. Sure over years of time they'll probably eventually try and traffic stop a Sov-Cit type who opens fire and kills one ICE agent but then gets themselves and their family in the car riddles with hundreds of semi-auto rounds in the response from their teammates.

Very few Americans ever dare to kill cops unless their backs are literally against a wall and they're convinced there is no way out. A normal reactionary gun nut would put their guns down because they are a citizen and respect ICE and expect that they'll be processed and released and thus have a way out. That is they expect that they'll be treated fairly.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, the gun nuts aren’t doing jack shit besides hunkering down next to their ammunition cans.

The real wild card is all the guns out there. There’s gonna be somebody with nothing left to lose being hassled by these goons and in the USA the odds of that person carrying go way the hell up. Put the 2 together and we have the scenario.

[–] nasezero@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They target specific people in many (not sure the exact proportion) of their raids, so I guess that cuts down on the chances of their targets being armed, at least legally. Also, I don't think it's an accident that the vast majority of their targets have had no criminal past.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's pretty clear the entire agency is just Trump's goon squad now.

All arms of US law enforcement do heinous shit but most of them are also complex bureaucracies with departments within departments that do pretty mundane crap. The FBI probably has tons of people who just deal with like mail fraud or whatever and don't even work in the same building as the Fred Hampton assassination squad (edit: mind you I'm not saying that makes working for the FBI okay, even if you are in the mail fraud team. Just that agencies like the FBI serve an actual civic function besides just brutalizing people, thought they do brutalize people quite often). ICE's massive budget bump and recruitment campaign is clearly just a means of enlisting a bunch of MAGA wannabe-operator LARPers into ham fisted violence squad.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fred Hampton assassination

Technically that was the Chicago PD at behest of the FBI at behest of Hoover. I know, I know, "just following orders" is still hitlerite shit but it's important to understand the bureaucracy.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Chicago PD already had a history of murdering Panther members so I doubt they needed much goading.

FBI probably had something to do with MLK's death, or at the very least tried to harass him into suicide.

ICE members deserve the pit barbara-pit

Too generous tbh

One might even extend this to say “All Cops are Bastards*”

No offense to our big beautiful babies born out of the wedlock (like yours truly)

[–] deforestgump@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's hard to make a material case but given the complete obliteration of our education system combined with insane amount of debt makes a population ripe for racist scapegoating. As the economy continues to decline, I guarantee ICE's enrollment will go up.

Customs and Border Patrol ads are plastered all over DC

Minneapolis ICE taking notes from the Saskatoon Police Service with this starlight tour shit?

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why is taking a minority into the middle of unsurvivable land like the Florida everglades or anywhere near a Reservation in winter, stripping them naked, and leaving them there to die called something pretty and cute like “starlight tour” when it’s U.S. nazis doing it? Real “school of the Americas” moment.

Real fucking “teenie meanie” of us.

[–] tithonis@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

Insert that Sartre quote about the glibness of anti-Semites here. The lives of people you consider subhuman get treated with the respect you give people you don't believe deserve respect get. Which is to say, none. To me it's less "tee-hee we did an oopsie-poopsie" and more "your life doesn't mean shit to us and we're going to make your murder a cute little joke for the boys down at the station to laugh about".
