Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.
In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.
One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)
ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it’s scary as fuck to watch the world’s most powerful state turn fascist.
As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.
“That could never happen here!” — Most Americans.
“It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!”
Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I’m terrified.
I was always facist if you weren’t white or straight
I really hope that’s a typo
Masks just being ripped off left and right!
I’m workshopping banners for the next RNC convention
Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.
Damn these ICE agents are a threat to everyone.
Always have been.
Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.
“collateral arrests”= unconstitutional and kidnapping.
These fucking people are sick…
If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.

That’s not what should happen and you should be ashamed of yourself. Murder is not something to take lightly.
Cry harder.
ICE’s behavior has emboldened criminals to impersonate ICE agents to rob and kidnap people. This is going to end very badly indeed because a reasonable person would arm themselves when this becomes as common as it is likely to get. And a lot of people are going to get shot and killed.
Hoping no real people were injured.
I watched most of the video clip. The agents all look kinda perplexed. As if they can’t understand that nearly any species alive will go nuts when you go for their offspring.
Guys, I think ICE agents are aliens.
Are they… illegal aliens?
Well, they are doing illegal things
I saw this ICE agent doing ICE things
I think it’s a case of psychopathy and the fact that some of these people TRULY don’t see black and brown people as people. The dehumanization is truly complete to the point that they really don’t understand that they’re PEOPLE, with thoughts and feelings.
Psychopaths understand people a lot better than these ice agents. These are garden variety sociopaths at best
Well, they’re supposed to snatch innocent people, kids, break apart families, so I think it’s granted they must be some kind of sadistic psychopaths.
After that, the way they try to get around the illegality of what they’re doing suggests they’re also very, very, very dumb.
Exactly. Joining ice is the easiest way to show the world you’re antisocial, racist and have zero
emotionalintelligence. These people wouldn’t know empathy if it slapped someone else across the faceThese people wouldn’t know empathy if it slapped someone else across the face
Brilliantly put
I didn’t see a video on the archived site, didn’t want to subscribe with an email to see the page. Does the video cover their acts and the following crash? Weighing my interests, maybe I’ll find it elsewhere
The video is an embedded FB live video.
Heres the linkEdit: linking to the video on FB doesn’t seem to work. But there’s no validation, so you can sign up using any email. I was able to watch it after entering the email fuck@you.com
That’s my address!
I regret nothing.
Not the crash itself. But the direct aftermath. They see something happened down the street and start going there.
As for the agents fuckery, they get yelled at on the street outside the school and look like shocked deer at an approaching car.
Regardless of who caused the accident, they hit and run, right? That’s insanely illegal.
Yes.
I’m not at all surprised they did it, though. What’s yet another little law when their entire day job involves breaking them?
Because the kidnapping was going to be on the up and up?
I’m not defending the guy, but it’s better he left then started shooting his way out or something
I suppose that is about where the bar is for these guys
I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.
That would bring the military into our communities even quicker. Seems like a very bad idea.
The only bad idea is sitting back and just complaining online.
Sniping ICE agents would make things much worse much more quickly.
Maybe the progression of violence is inevitable, but once you start killing pigs, it will all happen very quickly.
The progression of violence has been enacted by the government for decades… Sitting around waiting is just letting them put on the cuffs before fighting back. https://lemmy.world/post/31339564
Look man, I am a protesting, pro-physical intervention, pro-whatever it takes leftist. All I’m saying is random people shooting at ICE is going to end protest and resistance, and begin the part where the government shoots and kills protestors and resistance on sight.
If you think that’s the best plan, that’s fine. I do not. I think there is more that needs to happen before the shooting starts.
I own many guns. I practice with them. I have thousands of rounds of ammunition. When the government starts shooting people, I will decide if I’m ready to die to protect my family and community.
But I’m not gonna kill myself and dozens of others by foolishly “taking a pot shot” at these fucking nazis.
When the government starts shooting people??? 🤦What caliber is required for it to count as shooting? Ballistic missile???

Once again this is nothing new, been only getting worse my entire life.
Enjoy the fascists they’ll only keep winning with folks like this so proud of themselves.
Alright man. Stay safe out there.
She gave them an arrest quota of 3,000 a day. Jesus christ
Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig’s Wormtail, whispering poison in his ear. He’s hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It’s time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.
Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn’t matter anymore.
Can’t spell bitches without ICE.
Melt the ICE.
No place for fascism in NY!
As somebody from Western NY, this made me happy to read
I hope every ICE agent dies of slow colon cancer
I feel sorry for the colon cancer
My wife just got declared to be colon cancer free. It was a close thing. Can we go with wishing some other cause of death on them? Maybe a fire? Or multiple stab wounds?
Honestly, I get you. After watching my wife have a stroke, I feel the same way. I was just parroting an edgy joke.
I drove an aunt to the hospital with a minor stroke. It was terrible and horrible. Terror. Horror.
Know that a random guy wishes you and your wife the best.
Thanks, I kinda needed that right now.
DM me anytime.
I won’t, but thanks
“Edgy”, that’s it! Wood chipper, cutting themselves while shaving, falling onto a scythe, whatever… as long as it involves an edge!
But you… I hope you die at age 249 after breaking the record for most orgasms, then pass away peacefully in your sleep surrounded by loved ones and soft animals… (the animals were not involved in the prior activity)
My wife is in recovery from burns after I stabbed her and set fire to her boyfriend’s apartment.
Can we go back to colon cancer?
Sending you good vibes.
You’d better stick with a different choice, no sense tempting an evil rebound. But I think I’m gonna start casting colon cancer on orangeface fatfuck. Maybe a few massive blood clots to go with it. Why can you never find a lump of polonium when you need it?

I know someone who died of fast colon cancer, and I’d be okay with ICE agents going the same way.
Yeah, that’s the problem … they’ll live with colon cancer until they’re 88 years of age and become a career politician
Bone cancer would be more painful. Just saying.
On the one hand, yes. On the other, I don’t want them to stick around doing evil for a long time. Maybe something immediately debilitating that takes a long time to finish?
Rabies
Or fast. I’m not picky.
