Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.
In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.
One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)
I feel bad for the car.
It could’ve helped a member of the working class.
So they cover their faces but drive their own cars? Or am I missing something?
I dont think the cars are externally marked.
it’s not clear from the except whether the nissan was a personal or federal vehicle (and I’m not clicking through more than one screen of cookies/adblock nonsense to read the rest of it)
Do we know if they aren’t just deputized proud boys?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a federal car that wasn’t Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge, you know, American brands. I mean there has to be some but I haven’t seen one.
Their ‘collateral arrests’ game is going to get the plain clothed ICE agents killed. Don’t blame the public when it happens. Blame the Border Czar.
Would really love to see pics of their tattoos when this happens. Im sure they’re interesting.
I wanna work for ice so I can be the dude that leaks the raids.
This is acceptable.
It’s an effective tactic that conservatives have been employing for decades.
The reason they hate schools so much is because they can’t infiltrate them. They can’t infiltrate them because they’re genuinely too stupid to compete in academia, and even the ruling class recognizes how an effective educational system is needed to maintain their dominance.
I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.
100%. We should be encouraging them without identifying them.
One can only hope.
That would bring the military into our communities even quicker. Seems like a very bad idea.
Oh shit, yeah. Can’t have the military in our communities.
checks outside that would be even wirse than those guys in camo and modern gear holding rifles stranding around. The grey painted armored vehivles with doohickeys on the roof. Much less scary than having the military in my community.
The military is already in our communities dummy
The only bad idea is sitting back and just complaining online.
Yeah. Useless fucks.
Sniping ICE agents would make things much worse much more quickly.
Maybe the progression of violence is inevitable, but once you start killing pigs, it will all happen very quickly.
much worse
Also much better. And they’re goinh to get worse if you do nothing, too.
If you’re afraid of attacking their person, then attack their property.
We can all work together to make sure ICE agents don’t get nice suburban houses that aren’t covered in eggs and toilet paper.
We can all work together to make sure their tires don’t have air in them as often as possible.
The progression of violence has been enacted by the government for decades… Sitting around waiting is just letting them put on the cuffs before fighting back. https://lemmy.world/post/31339564
Look man, I am a protesting, pro-physical intervention, pro-whatever it takes leftist. All I’m saying is random people shooting at ICE is going to end protest and resistance, and begin the part where the government shoots and kills protestors and resistance on sight.
If you think that’s the best plan, that’s fine. I do not. I think there is more that needs to happen before the shooting starts.
I own many guns. I practice with them. I have thousands of rounds of ammunition. When the government starts shooting people, I will decide if I’m ready to die to protect my family and community.
But I’m not gonna kill myself and dozens of others by foolishly “taking a pot shot” at these fucking nazis.
When the government starts shooting people??? 🤦What caliber is required for it to count as shooting? Ballistic missile???

Once again this is nothing new, been only getting worse my entire life.
Enjoy the fascists they’ll only keep winning with folks like this so proud of themselves.
Alright man. Stay safe out there.
No place for fascism in NY!
As somebody from Western NY, this made me happy to read
Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.
She gave them an arrest quota of 3,000 a day. Jesus christ
Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig’s
WormtailWormtongue, whispering poison in his ear. He’s hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It’s time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.Edit: Sorry, got my fantasy bad guys mixed up.
ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it’s scary as fuck to watch the world’s most powerful state turn fascist.
Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I’m terrified.
Okay but have you considered that you’re being a shrill alarmist commie?
I feel like my history teachers tried to warn us about this, but they couldn’t say it directly and most of us didn’t take the hint.
“Does history repeat itself?”
“Those who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it.”
What they’re really trying to get their students thinking is “do we learn from history?” And the answer is a big, fat, fuck no.
As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.
“That could never happen here!” — Most Americans.
“It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!”
To see the Canadian government start pushing bills on immigration that are similar to those put in place to allow all this to happen in the US is terrifying as well. We voted in hopes of fending off this fascist takeover and yet here we are with Drumpfkins next door and our own “left” cooking the country.
The citizens of the world are under fire everywhere from fascism and even Nazism. We all need to stand up and fight back no matter where we live.
I was always facist if you weren’t white or straight
I really hope that’s a typo
I’m workshopping banners for the next RNC convention
Add a >
Masks just being ripped off left and right!
Hoping no real people were injured.
Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.
“Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school” is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.
Is the pickup truck ok?
Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn’t matter anymore.
