Authorities in at least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a time when real ICE agents have ramped up immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration, adding to existing fears of law enforcement among migrant communities.

    At this point, if “ICE” is trying to arrest you, you should fight back with life or death consequences. You should be fully of the belief that if you go quietly, if you allow them to take you, you WILL die.

    And that’s not only true of the fake ICE impersonators. It’s true of the real ICE too. They’ve been shipping people to countries they’ve never been, in places they don’t speak the language, to camps where they’re tortured for information that not only do they not have, they also can’t understand the questions, because again, they don’t speak the language.

    Someone explain to me how we’re better than 1940s nazis at this point. I’ve never been patriotic, but at this point I can’t even say we’re above literal nazi tactics.

      Considering the average American, I’m actually shocked there haven’t been more shoot-outs*. What’s the point of everyone being strapped if you’re just going to let yourself be yoinked off the street?

      *Not super keen on guns but, like, this is the reason (we) Americans profess to be armed, right?

        Because that’s not the “average American”, thats that average Right Wing Nutjob, the type of person that supports what is happening and ICE isn’t going after.
