Stand your ground, Pubs love that shit… Be the good guy with the gun brah
I can’t wait for the trial about it gunning them down is self defense,
if it is a trump appointed judge, then it will clearly be considered illegal, which mean the whole point of 2nd amendment (defend against a tryranic government is BS)
or reasonable judge, which will determine it is self defence, then let the fun begin.
Buy some guns and do it to them then.
It’s America
I mean, honestly, even without violence, this would be a fantastic protest technique. Imagine if whenever there was an ICE raid, there were hundreds of people dressed indistinguishably from the ICE thugs. Normally this doesn’t work at protests. If you put on a fake LAPD uniform, they’ll arrest you for impersonating a police officer. But since these thugs aren’t in uniform, then you’re not impersonating an officer by dressing like them.
“ICE thug” should be the standard uniform for every protester. Watch as their raids collapse into absolute chaos as they can’t figure out who is actually on their team. Watch as the police thugs escorting ICE get completely confused as they don’t know who to shoot their rubber bullets and tear gas at. Just imagine protesters milling about in active raid scenes, walking in like they own the place, giving contradictory orders to ICE foot soldiers, etc. Hell, the protesters could “detain” many of the people being seized, load them into unmarked vans, drive them a mile away, and then just let them go.
This can be weaponized, all without using actual weapons. Protesters could dress up like these ICE thugs and completely destroy their operations. ICE have forgotten that cops where uniforms not just to protect the public, but also so that cops can tell who is actually a police officer.
It’s time ICE learned exactly why police wear uniforms. By not wearing uniforms, they’ve made themselves comically vulnerable to mass disruption by nonviolent protesters. They’ve completely destroyed their own chain of command, and they are vulnerable.
We should respond to these people as what they are, domestic terrorists.
Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn’t it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they’re totally fine with it.
Tbf, the mask is a bigger inconvenience when you’re picking up veggies from the food isle than when chasing down migrants while hoping over a couple of fences. Don’t your see? The aerodynamic design of the mask will…
Why aren’t masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?
Never have I hoped the L.A street gangs just take this matter into their own hands
Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.
Sad yet probably true
My Army training would kick in, and I would shoot the terrorists.

Isn’t it the job of the opposition party at this point to propose legislation that outlaws this practice? To run candidates on a platform of reigning in these abuses? To run ads with scary music saying how the government is infringing on liberties etc?
Rural Republicans already fear three letter federal agencies: BLM, ATF, etc. Play to their fears, this very low hanging fruit, Democrats.
California “No Secret Police Act” introduced, would ban police from covering their faces - CBS San Francisco https://share.google/yBJZoO8cseW6R5mc9
Who’s gonna enforce it? LAPD and LASD are pissed because they can’t join in on the fun and that’s why they’re trying to kill protesters instead.
Time to grab a certain white South African and deport him
I imagine South Africa would complain. They don’t want him back.
Drop him in the ocean off the cape. I’m sure something in there would want him.
Don’t they send them to El Salvador or the Congo?
If this was germany, people showing up like this would spark an instant large-scale police operation. just saying. Germany. you know?
Where’s the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?
Isn’t this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?
This has been asked many, many times. Most of them are on Drumpy’s side. The same fucks on Jan6.
I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants
Where’s the well regulated militia you Americans scream about
So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.
Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he’s nominally not supposed to…
One should argue that. Even though the national guard acts as a branch of the military, technically they are whats considered a “organized milita” and are actually under the control of the state government
The way the legal system in the US works is just incredible. There are things that are very much illegal, but if the president does them apparently everyone is just fine with it.
The majority of citizens are not “fine” with it, we are watching the results of the capture of every branch of government.
The template for this actually played out in Texas. Texas has a very weak governors office in terms of formal powers. Under George W Bush the Republican party systematically took control of each state office and coordinated their efforts to effect the agenda of Bush, Perry, and now Abbott.
They are doing the same thing at the federal level with project 2025 under Trump, they took the supreme court, and now they have removed the career civil servants that would refuse illegal orders from Trump.
If history of other dictatorships is any guide the powers of ICE will be expanded steadily and the other law enforcement agencies and military will be continually overshadowed by ICE and eventually subordinated to them, like the Republican guard of Iran or the SS in Nazi Germany.
They’re too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they’ve cried about for decades.
To a unnerving amount of people’s surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)
It’ll come for them at the finish. These brown shirts should pick up a history book. The people who helped the Nazis rise to power did not live to get to enjoy it.
This is quite a terse way of putting it.
10/10. No notes.
Hey dumbass, it turns out that:
-
Each state has its own laws about this. Where I live the same state constitution that ALSO specifically grants us the right to own firearms for self defense explicitly forbids belonging to any private militia.
-
My part (Democrats) is so overwhelmingly anti gun that 99% of aren’t armed to begin with. So precious militia you’re smugly pretending to ask about? Yeah you’re looking at them in the post to begin with. They’re all boot licking fascists.
Nice try though, pretending disarming Americans is the answer to anything other than more deportations, more oppression, and so on.
I’ll give you this: literally neither side gives a shit about the actual underlying problem: mental health. Over half of ALL gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. You don’t need an AR15 for that. Banning and removing all guns successfully won’t stop all those people wanting to be dead, but my fellow Democrats don’t care and the fascists sure don’t.
LOL. My point was, when you have come down of your high horse, that the opponents of gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the need to protect themselves from government overreach, but those are the exact same people who jump up to volunteer to do that exact bit of overreach.
Plus I get to have a little dig at your country’s ridiculous gun laws at the same time.
opponents of gun control hide behind the second amendment
What? That doesn’t even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that’s not the point.
The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.
Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you “take a little dig”
-
Yes. Nobody wants to be first because they and the next xx% will be the sacrifice.
if it’s not the home of the brave, it won’t be the land of the free
Those 2a chuds will never rise up against a tyrannical government.
They’d rather kneel down for a tyrannical government.
The thing that I don’t get about those people is, what do they think the “well regulated” part means?
Do you actually want an answer? I think you know the details aren’t suitable for a public forum.
Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They’re not law enforcement they’re gestapo.
Perhaps the only valid use for glitter
The diet version of Brad Pitt making a swastika scar on nazi foreheads so they can’t take it off like their uniforms in inglorious bastards.
Should try that die they use when you steal shit. That stuff lasts forever. How does one bulk buy that. Nothing a squirty water bottle, water gun or balloon couldn’t handle either.
Unfortunately a water gun would probably give them reason to shoot you.
Super soaker!
Let’s do it!
I’ve wanted to suggest things like this, only frustration I can think of is, could you risk glittering an innocent bystander and having people accuse them of being ICE later.
Worse.
Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.
I mean… In some ways maybe that is not worse. Perhaps there is some shame associated with working for ICE.
It’s not shame they feel, it’s about self-preservation. They know that if everyone knew who they were they would be reprisals.
If anybody knew who any of these guys were, and worked out where they lived, I wouldn’t give them 24 hours. Eventually they’ll deport the wrong person and someone with a gun will decide that the ends justify the means, and that’ll be that. It will probably spark a massive military escalation on trump’s part, but it won’t matter to them.
True, there ought to be!
If camera phones and the internet were available then they absolutely would have hidden their face, in the beginning at least
Democrats need to thoroughly clear out everyone in ICE as soon as they get the chance.
Spoiler alert they absolutely will not and democrats are going to keep using this shit too
You’re still pushing that “my government is here for me” bullshit? You haven’t noticed but you’re gonna have to do that yourself boss.
I’m saying this now, so I can point back to it when they inevitably don’t.
ICE folks should raid banks. Gotta be people hiding in the safe right? And cops won’t stop them to ask questions, so win win!
Nazis
That looks like a gang, operates like a gang, and should be kicked off of the turf of any self-respecting gang, imho.
Honestly where the fuck are the gangbangers in all this? All that talk about fuck the police and how hard they are and all and there hasnt been one incidence of ICE being rolled up on by the westside crips.
Forget gangbangers. Protesters and activists should dress like ICE agents. Law enforcement are supposed to wear uniforms for two vital reasons:
-
So civilians can know who is legitimate law enforcement.
-
So law enforcement can know who is legitimate law enforcement.
ICE doesn’t give a shit about (1), as they figure they have enough fire power to kill anyone who tries to arrest or assault them for dressing up like thugs. But they’ve completely forgotten about (2), and in the process have made themselves incredibly vulnerable to nonviolent protest and disruption.
Forget holding signs. ICE has been rapidly expanded. Not only have the ranks swelled, but all sorts of people like militia members and bounty hunters have been deputized. Which means that not even the ICE agents on the ground are going to know who all is a member of ICE. They’re all wearing masks anyway.
In the heat of the moment, ICE agents don’t have any way of telling who an ICE agent is.
Forget holding up signs in protest. What really needs to happen is for every ICE raid to be swarmed by dozens of fake ICE agents. Normally using this tactic on law enforcement would be impersonating a police officer. But since ICE aren’t wearing uniforms, there’s nothing to impersonate!
Imagine if every ICE raid was accompanied by dozens randos showing up and just getting in the way and causing chaos. Show up dressed as masked ICE thugs. Collect some of the immigrants being detained, put them in your own unmarked cars, and let them go a few miles away. Walk into a raid site like you own the place and are meant to be there. Then start taking up space, giving contradictory orders, standing in doorways, just generally causing any kind of nonviolent chaos you can think of. Turn their whole raid into a giant shit show of a circus.
It’s time to weaponize ICE’s lack of identification. They don’t ID themselves to avoid accountability. But it’s time they were reminded of exactly why officers started wearing uniforms in the first place.
-
That’s because ICE are cowards. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re purposefully leaving areas under direct gang control alone.
they are, at the very least, not performing these kidnappings in “open carry”/“constitutional” states. For obvious reasons.
They are now leaving farming and roofing guys alone because the Tysons and Blackrocks are getting nervous about labor shortages.
odd how that happens, huh? Engels is laughing or crying in his grave…
They’re going after the big shots, the gang strongholds like <checks notes> … Aurora, CO.
They’re goal is fear and intimidation. They are going to every area and doing one or two workplace arrrests so that nobody feels safe. They’re not actually ready for a coordinated resistance. No cops are actually trained for anything like that.
It’s probably proud boys and their affiliates. Remember, they had meetings before the last Insurrection.
So, a gang of white supremacists.
I used to think I liked monopoly busting
Until they busted up the state’s monopoly on violence
They’re still the state, just mask-off (or on, in this case).
There’s like no difference between them and these guys.
That’s not true, those guys are carrying the wrong type of gun!
Yes there is, I can see these guys’ eyes.
ICEis doesn’t look like they would be as agile on the monkey bars. So, checkmate.
who are they
ISIS
If I had to take a guess given the date of the photo and the edge of the flag it would be either ISIL or ISIS.
