    No badge numbers, masked, using civilian vehicles with civilian plates. These guys could be literally anybody just kidnapping people.

    Just goes to show the danger this precedent sets.

      I don’t understand why other people aren’t dressing like ICE and showing up and getting physical with them

        And why aren’t you? This “other people” attitude will be, and already is, the death rattle of this shit democracy.

          I live overseas 🤷🏻‍♀️

          I have extremely violent fantasies about these people and I am sure that I’m not alone.

          Someone could shoot out their car tires and windscreens. Someone could shoot into the air and cause them to be distracted and divert attention from their operation.

          There’s one long point in that video where four of them have backs to camera and the other guy is engaged on the other side of the pickup. Couldn’t someone shoot them all from behind before they knew what was happening?

          Always remember, many people here don’t lives in the United Shithole.

          But yes, everyone needs to resist. Sadly many people, me included, still go to work for fear of losing our livelyhood. That’s is imo the biggest problem. It is hard to take direct action and risk your income when you have a bad social net (family, friends, whatever). We still will need to try.

    The sneakers and jeans are evidence these “officers” were conscripted from the street or volunteered. Professional cops and unarmed security guards wear boots.

    In Steven Pinkers book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, he describes conscripted soldiers and police as more prone to unnecessary violence and unlawful use of force.

    In the video we can see one detainee forced to watch another get tased.

    There is a clear lack of skill in handling the detainees. It is better to lift and lead someone by the armpits than by the arm: it avoids dislocating the arm. When done from behind, they can’t hit you.

      These masked kidnappers need to be identified and brought before true justice. And be exposed everywhere around the world as the fascist they are.

    Thanks for filming this. It is important to not look away, to let them know that we protest what is happening, and keep watching their every move. Good on getting the car plates, the only thing identifiable besides their faces.

    Who knows what they would’ve done if no-one was looking.

    And good on the arrestees, some of the best passive resistance I have ever seen there.

    But what gets me most is the amateurishness of the whole thing. The truck is totally unsuitable for what they’re doing there, they obviously wear private clothes, their vests seem to be labeled whatever (POLICE? ORE?) and they’re fucking helpless getting two guys who aren’t cooperating into a truck. A hastily thrown together troupe of willing goons. It’s a travesty, which just adds insult to injury.

    And we literally don’t know who they are. Anybody could drive up and start pulling people out of houses.

    I can’t express my disgust and anger - and empathy.

        I dislike throwing the description “incel” around as a slur. You don’t know them! They might have sex, we unfortunately don’t know who they are. I don’t have sex and never had, even tough I would like to, but that doesn’t make me a Police officer let alone one kidnapping people from the streets!

          “incel” means more than just “can’t have sex”

          Sorry for your situation but I’ll be insulting people with it, especially crybaby conservative men. And especially ICE agents.

            “An incel (a portmanteau of “involuntary celibate”[1]) is a member of an online subculture of mostly male and heterosexual[2] people who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one. They often blame, objectify, and denigrate women and girls as a result” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel

            Its really the wrong Insult! Use an appropriate insult that really means something about them and what they are doing. Like fascist, Gestapo Nazi scum or something like that.

              Except those people don’t find Nazi ass an insult. They do not like being called out in what they view as a lack of a masculine trait. If your insult doesn’t bother the target, it’s a shitty insult.

                Then say something like “ICE groups tries to overcompensate their lack of real masculinity by using weapons and punches against one handcuffed guy”

      We’re fucked as a country if you think paint is gonna do anything. Slash their tires, dog pile the agents/pin them down, follow them home, and enact change. Meeting fascism with checks notes paint, will not rid of us of these traitors to the constitution.
