Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.
It's because they bought it all themselves from different companies because none of this was thought out or planned in any way.
It is sort of funny, part of the reason Nazi ideology has the lasting power it does is probably because of their aesthetics and intimidating/'strong' fascist image, but when people look at ICE and MAGA in the future (and today) they'll be like "wow look at these losers."
The Negotiatior
Aye don't forget about his sidekick, PoPo!
Hard to tell from the image quality but it looks like he could be wearing something like Meta Glasses that record and display info, good reminder that if you are going to interact with these goons you should always expect they could be filming you.
So if I ever go to USA for some reason, and I see these guys, I just start stripping?

I want to call him The Brightest Person of ICE and turn him into emoji.
So they look like a criminal gang instead of an official government agency. Makes them easier to confuse with home invaders that can be shot.
It's all from Temu and Amazon
No shit, they already shot at least 1.
They shot many more. They killed at least one.
We all knew they would start wholesale hunting, imprisonment, torture, and murder of antifascists eventually.
Nothings changed. Antifascists need to be prepared for the inevitable now more than ever.
The number of missing persons cases in the US is around 600,000 each year. 533,936 NCIC missing person files in 2024. (Statista) I'm sure undocumented people would be less likely to be reported missing as well. I would be completely unsurprised to learn there were ICE squads disappearing people with no official record of it.
You are misrepresenting the data here.
This is basically a total number of all open missing persons cases, not number of cases per year. This represents all open cases within the past 34 years. If we assume an equal rate of missing persons cases per year that becomes about 18,000 people a year.
If you actually look at your data you'll see a pretty sharp decrease in missing persons cases since the 90s.
We know ICE is committing illegal actions daily, so what's the point in trying to misrepresent data and pin this on them anyway? Even if the argument is so many people go missing its easy for ICE to dissappear people, it falls apart quickly when you look at the actual numbers. They wouldn't be able to dissappear many people before causing a significant increase in missing persons reports. 9,000 people would be a 50% increase. There are a lot more than that dissenting right now.
I'm not misinterpreting, maybe you read before I edited the phrasing to make it more clear, I understand this is the number of total open cases each year which is why it's relatively consistent, cases open and close.
I wasn't suggesting anything about the number of people they could potentially be taking, just that there are thousands of unsolved cases of missing people each year.
So why did you present this data then? What was your goal in including it here?
Just pointing out there are thousands of unsolved missing persons cases, murders get more publicity but if people disappear it doesn't make as much news and is harder to prosecute even if there is a lot of suspicion of someone who might have abducted and killed the person missing.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a recent interview that his agency intended to probe anti-fascist and anti-ICE protesters and those that support them. “We are going to track the money. We are going to track these ringleaders.” He went on to claim, without evidence, that many of the protesters in Chicago were “professional agitators that are being brought in.”
Why bother, just listen to any right wing political commentator over the last 10 years, it's all George Soros right?
Quo vadis USA?
That's what happens if you give sad little kids tremendous power instead of love and therapy.
instead of love and therapy.
Way too late for that. But i honestly think if he was loved as a child nobody outside of upper class new york would have known his name.
Sounds great to me? The not-have-known-his-name-part.
What’s new is that the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them — all of them part of a supposed left-wing conspiracy to violently oppose the president’s agenda.
ICE has powerful tools to crack down on people opposing the administration’s policies. It can trawl the internet for people holding anti-ICE views. It can track the locations where protesters and activists gather and identify their networks of friends and family. It can identify protesters using facial recognition. It may even be able to hack into phones. Information collected through these tools will be added to the Department of Homeland Security’s vast stores of information for potential future use. And all these data streams can be combined to develop detailed dossiers on people who are not suspected of any crime.
For too long, laws have failed to keep up with surveillance technology. Many are decades old and designed to prevent the government from listening to landline phone calls or reading emails. They do not protect free speech and privacy rights against persistent surveillance through social media monitoring, facial recognition, and location tracking. As a result, the government can easily turn these tools against anyone and everyone, with scant safeguards. Now, ICE is announcing that it plans to make this risk a reality for the swath of Americans who oppose the Trump administration’s agenda.
Come and get me, motherfuckers.
🍿 will the US implode before it can start a world war?
Find out in 2-3 weeks.
I'm slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.
-
WW3 has already started it's just the States isn't directly involved yet.
-
The States imploding isn't going to be a barrier to them doing something r######d like trying to invade Greenland or Canada (look at Russia).
They're going to stick their dick in the beehive because it's in their nature. They just can't help themselves.
Not only that, imploding could further inflame the world. If a collapsing us goes into Greenland, and the EU splits in half over whether to side with Denmark or the US (remember, Poland is totally dependant on US nuclear deterrent, they are not likely to abandon that). That will empower Putin to move in. That China will be unrestrained is not even questionable. Things will get hotter everywhere.
Lmao I want what you are smoking, Poland won't side with the US over Europe
r######d
wat?
He's afraid of saying retarded on the internet.
It's not that I'm afraid of saying retarded. I just have a policy of not using it to describe people with disabilities. I'm pretty sure most of the trump administration has some form of developmental disability. So it's inappropriate to use retarded to describe them. Intellectually challenged or handicapable would be more appropriate.
well, that's retarded
You clearly don't care about that policy too much since you still used it. Just call them dipshits or smooth brained or something instead
Then just choose another word and use that.
If anything the hashes drew more attention to it.
Yeah, no shit.
It's going swimmingly I see
