    Unfortunately one day we might have to go toe to toe with ICE.

      Dehumanisation works both ways, and the insistence of federal forces like this to portray themselves as faceless organisations for the sake of avoiding accountability is only going to backfire once that inevitably happens. Especially when compared to police forces and civilian militias.

    Keep reporting on this. They recruited a bunch of untrained losers because they want incidents like this.

    Sorry to be off topic, but what are those LED blinky things behind you? Are they random or are they sensing and reacting to something?

    What does identifying them do if they will never receive repercussions?

    ‘Look here’s their unique identifying numbers’ … ‘This community has no idea who they are’ … u don’t know the name of every police officer.. and how would u want to approach a group u have to deport because a small fraction are illegal terrorists & not innocent immigrants.. police in America are heavy handed & aggressive all to often.. but u do have the second amendment which complicates things.. how would u like to approach the public where a small portion are aggressive & armed against u?

    I hope these agents have people show up to their homes and treat them EXACTLY how they treated American citizens. And if we lose a few ICE or CBP agents along the way… Excellent. They consume too much oxygen as it is

    there is nothing to do with immigration. WH just wants to train a brutal force, not restricted by law , and ready to attack civilians with or without any reason. Every dictator makes such departments. They are full armed and have a gas grenades, because their real purpose in near future is to crack down protests, when, lets say, one guy will decide to be re-elected few more times, or change few privacy acts or civil rights here and there. This is why they are actively training now to gain the experience of blind hating and fighting civilians. There is no any other single reason to be dressed like that when going to arrest few immigrants.

    I heard they were told to record violence against people because the government thought Americans would like it. That, and Stephen. Iller gets off on violent videos.
