    Some more evidence this is motivated by racism and evil (I know, redundant to say) is that if there was even an ounce of logic in these fuckers heads they would either escort the kid home, or tail/surveil him to identify his home, then grab the whole family.

    This is not how you would run an organized campaign actually attempting to achieve their stated goals. This is intentionally causing extra emotional distress and chaos.

    I know, I know, that’s been the obvious case the whole time. Just had to get this scream into the void.

    Like, I don’t get how anyone could support this. Even the racists. If you want these people out why would you cheer for such an obviously horrifically mismanaged clusterfuck? Ugh.

    Reality needs to get some better writers, this shit is getting too unbelievable.

      They’re just straight-up Brown Shirts at this point, the chaos is the point. What’s funnier to me is that they think they wont be given the “Night of the Long Knives” treatment.

      Because they’re too stupid/brainwashed to understand how much of a clusterfuck ICE is. You really expect someone who thinks Trump is a genius to think through the logistics of mass deportation? Racists are emotionally dysregulated; any powers of analytical reasoning are dominated by visceral fear and revulsion that overpowers everything else.

      I think there’s a really crucial fact that you’re unaware of or don’t want to acknowledge: the cruelty is the point. The republicans and their base don’t care that their immigration policy isn’t effective, the tactics are there for social media likes and to instill terror in migrants who may want to come here so they stay home.

      The irony is that these fucking window lickers complain about how bad the “authoritarian” rulers are down south while actively cheering on an authoritarian wanna be ruler. They never cared about anything other than power and hurting minorities.

      Please. Imagine if this wasn’t in a “first” world country. Imagine if say France or South Africa was doing this. The whole world would be complaining and shouting about how bad it is. But since the USA is “one of the good ones” we just turning a blind eye???

    We need to extradite ICE agents to the home countries of their victims. Let them stand trial there, in a place they may actually face justice.

      The home country of many (if not most) of their victims is the USA.

      Sure, ICE are inhumane nazi monsters, but extraditing them to that god forsaken shithole would evidently count as cruel and unusual, even for the likes of them.

      Not only that, but “justice” there is a tragic parody of itself; they’d inevitably end up back on the streets.

      Don’t overcomplicate it. Just put them down like the rabid pigs they are, and then go for the even more monstrous bastards that sicced them on the streets.

        The home country of many (if not most) of their victims is the USA.

        This is demonstrably false. Yes, the US citizens killed or violated by ICE are heavily reported, but ICE mostly targets its actual targets - immigrants.

        It would not be cruel and unusual punishment. Here are the countries the US currently has an extradition treaty with (in blue), image from Wikipedia:

        If you’re wanted for a serious crime in any nation in Latin America, you will be extradited. If you go down to Peru, rape or murder someone, and manage to get back to the states before being caught? If the Peruvian government requests it, the US government will happily put your ass on a plane and send you down to Lima to face the Peruvian justice system. You probably won’t be extradited for shoplifting. But for serious crimes, absolutely.

        I’m not talking about deporting ICE agents to failed or war-torn states with no functioning justice systems. I’m talking about the kinds of countries that we regularly extradite people to. And this would be no different. It could all be done under existing law. Unlike your plan of “just put the pigs down.”

            What’s with your white savior complex? You really think the harm done to the handful of US citizens arrested or brutalized at protests outweighs the harm done to tens of thousands of immigrants? How many immigrants are dying in ICE dungeons or once they’re cast onto the streets of countries they’ve never even been to?

            How self centered do you have to be to think that cases like Rene Good represent the typical ICE victim. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. “The majority of ICE’s victims are immigrants” is not a statement that needs defending. It was created to brutalize immigrants, and that’s mostly what it’s doing.

              I quoted targets, not victims, galaxy brain.

              I don’t think ice is doing anything other than mass targeting minorities, they don’t care about citizen vs noncitizens. And to the larger point, I don’t care if the people targeted are citizens or not, I care that people are being targeted AT ALL, so you can fuck entirely off with your dumb bullshit.

              Making it about citizen vs noncitizen is willingly giving into their narrative, and I’ll gladly take heat from idiots to break that.

    So the administration has quadrupled down on saying they are only going after thugs and criminals and narco terrorists and then they snatch little kids off the street? Because they can’t prove they are a citizen? There isn’t a single person on that ICE squad that can confidently tell me that they carried their identification on them at all times as a kid.

    Republicans, what the fuck is wrong with you? Wake the fuck up and help us stop this insanity.

    Fuck ICE but this pic and specific wording sets off my gen AI Facebook bullshit detector.
    Who took that photo and got away? The linked photographer doesn’t exist. If they did, why did a different account post this, and knows what was said verbatim? What is the guy on the left holding?
    What’s written on his chest patch?

    Edit: Correction - The photographer does exist. Can’t find this pic on his socials (which are set to not show anything at least for the public) or his website. That thing on the left does look like a weapon (but I can’t tell which), and there are no 100% clear AI tells in the picture, except it all seems a bit “off” to me, and too perfectly composed to match the very specific and cliche message text.

    Fuck, this shit is getting harder and harder. If there’s one thing AI is getting good at, it’s lying, and manipulating social media algorithms in a way that even legit human posters are pushed to imitate its style. So stay critical even if you agree with the message, and please excuse my premature assessment.

    Edit: 2: Pic is legit, sorry for the mistake!: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/ice-descends-on-minneapolis/?hl=en-GB

      The photo seems to be zoomed in on a smartphone camera. Looks to me like the person who took the picture stood further away and used a digital zoom. And the guy on the left is holding a weapon. The chest patch of the guy on the left is at an angle where you can’t read it anyway. I don’t see signs of AI, just a low quality, zoomed in smartphone picture.

      If there’s one thing AI is getting good at, it’s lying

      Thank you for summing up the key reason that AI bothers me, giving words to the off-putting feeling in my gut whenever I think about it.

      Theft, attacking artistic integrity, energy-consumption, these are all things I’ve heard and seen people say against it. But the simple fact is that AI is a liar, and it’s muddying the line between truth and fiction in a way that no propaganda can match. It’s insidious, it’s powerful, and it’s everywhere. It sprung up in a time and place where reality was already under attack and poured fuel onto the fire of rampant disinformation.

    This isn’t how our law enforcement is supposed to work we’re not supposed to prove anything to them. They have to attain enough evidence to arrest someone. The burden of proof is on them, what probable cause did they have to arrest that boy? Is he going to get a probable cause hearing. Is that dhs asshat going to file a report?
