On Sunday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a “war zone” where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.
Good. They should not feel welcome ANYWHERE they go; no comfort, no peace, to the enemy.
Noem: It’s a war zone out there! It’s crazy!
Them: What do you mean? People are shooting at each other? Bodies in the streets?
Noem: They won’t let us pee in their restrooms!
Well did the ICE agents submit to gender checks first, to make sure they’re using the correct restroom? A copy of their birth certificate should suffice.
Not good enough we also have to do a manual inspection. Michael testicletickler is going to be doing the inspections. Dont let the name worry you though, he doesn’t tickle testicles only fingers buttholes.
Something, something - Third Amendment?
I’m not an American - but I’m pretty sure the 3rd basically means that they can (and should) be refused service freely by anyone and everyone who wants to?
No, the 3rd amendment means your house/apt can’t be turned into a barracks.
Refusing service is just how things are, no specific amendment
Fair enough!
I don’t know the exact specifics surrounding the denial of access to bathrooms (ie. if they were private residence, commercial business or public access); but in the case of the first two - even if not necessary- either the 3rd or 4th amendments could be used as grounds to legally refuse entry and/or sue in the event of subsequent unlawful trespass.
Either way, this entire fiasco is just an amusing sideshow to the otherwise absolute carnage that ICE is attempting to wreak upon US cities.
I just wish I still had enough faith in the political opposition to be able to hold each and every one of these barbarians (starting with Stephen Miller) to account if/when the current regime collapses in on itself.
I’d add that they should be identified and not welcome anywhere ever.
🏳️⚧️: First time?
No piss for the enemy.
Huh, I guess cops arnt always shitty.
Almost every time like the one we are currently living in involves police/military people having to decide where their loyalties lie. Sometimes it’s with the people, sometimes it’s with the regime. Very often it is different between different agencies (with the lowest-level ones tending to side with the people).
The US is such a patchwork (both organizationally and on in individual level for each cop) that I think there will be a big and chaotic variety. It could range from sheriff’s departments headed by Trump-loyal sheriffs who are willing to go to war with city agencies who are trying to protect their people, all the way over to city cops who eventually start actively defending their cities against the feds who are trying to do obviously illegal things there. That last one hasn’t happened yet but I think it may be right around the corner. Things are changing. Those city workers telling Kristi Noem to get fucked from being allowed to pee in Broadview City Hall, that stuff doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
The US is such a patchwork …
In just about every way. During “normal” times, that makes for more bureaucracy and Kafka, but the silver lining is that when fascists take over the entire federal government, it’s harder for them to tear everything down all at once than if the country were more monolithic.
Yeah. I feel like part of it is just historical / accidental, but also, resisting fascism (in modern terminology) was more or less the absolutely key overriding priority that the US government had built into it at the start.
Even things like having each state run its own mini-election and be in charge of it, instead of a single federal election, start to seem pretty prescient in the current climate.
They just don’t care.
ICE called for backup once because of protestors, cops if ored them, so they shot someone in a car because there was traffic, rammed another car in traffic, and then detained at least one US citizen.
Cops want no part of it, it doesn’t mean they’re out their protecting citizens from ICE, they’re likely laughing about it.
They can 100% still be shitty
ICE pepper sprayed cops and protestors alike
Or they’re doing this intentionally hoping that it sparks some bigger conflict, where they along with ICE ‘justify’ getting to pull out the real big boy toys to use on the populace. Considering the coordination and organization behind the “thin blue line” and my own personal experiences with police, I’m more inclined to believe this than all them suddenly growing a conscience and doing the right thing as an organization.
Nah, the “not in my city” mindset is a far simpler explanation.
I liked the side article on how sad it is ice agents are being turned away at restaurants and they are not even allowed to use the restroom.
After a hard days’ work they just want to kick back at their local taquiera and enjoy a few frosty cervezas. What’s the problem?
I would not be surprised to learn that ICE hires undocumented immigrants and that that’s one of the reasons they go around masked. It would not exactly be unprecedented – many of the overseers on Southern cotton plantations were themselves slaves.
Very plausible. Many unfortunate souls find themselves in inescapable situations like that. If the option is Alligator Auschwitz or don a swastika and neck gaiter, most will choose the latter.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Chicago officers were instructed not to respond to the U.S. Border Patrol’s calls for help in another incident where a vehicle was rammed and a person was shot.
“Multiple law enforcement sources confirm to @FoxNews that Chicago police officers were instructed by their Chief of Patrol to NOT respond to Border Patrol agents call for help yesterday after they were reportedly surrounded by a large crowd of protesters following a ramming incident & shooting of an armed woman,” Melugin reported on X.
That last paragraph, from a FOX News correspondent, makes it sound like it was some ad hoc decision. It was not. Illinois does not permit any state, county, or local law enforcement to assist federal agents with their federal enforcement objectives.
ICE agents were in the middle of doing federal enforcement work. Crowd control is on them.
Not saying I’m a fan of the police, but I think they made a good call this time.
… this time.
They are simply reading the room and making a calculated choice. The public needs to continue putting the pressure on, they are cracking at the local level first.
Kat Abughazaleh is asking people to attend a protest this Friday 10/10 at 9:30 a.m. at the ICE headquarters at 1930 Beach Street, Broadview, IL
Need an immediate response lefty team. Show up for these things and record and document everything with the intention that if government ever course corrects, there is now some record that might be able to identify these ICE agents and have justice served. They 100% are covering their face so that there’s no way to charge them if courts ever try for any violations
They probably have their personal cell phones broadcasting device ids. Collect that data too.
That’s the Chicago way.
Tbh, if there’s one thing that CPD won’t ever do is help a person in trouble.
Do not capitulate, make them make you.
Finally cops standing there doing nothing works in our favor. I never thought I’d see the day.
Good job, Chi-town!
Time for the racist thug losers to drag their own portable shitters with them. The Blues Brothers and Chicago. The scene when Joliet Jake and Elwood drive through the fucking Nazis on the bridge. Stay Tough Chicago!
