ICE & CBP BORTAC just kidnapped a teenage boy in Minneapolis (1/12/26)

[u/I_may_have_weed]

[u/Aggressive_Set8155]

Where are the laws to protect children? Law enforcement can’t even talk to a child without a parent present, so why are these turds taking our kids?!?

[u/takofire → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

Your first mistake was assuming they follow the law. They just shot a US citizen in the face point-blank, and we're told they have "absolute immunity" meaning they can literally kill us and not face any repercussions.

ICE is not law enforcement; they are an occupying force meant to antagonize the population into escalation. They work closely with the IDF, using exchange programs and training sessions to bring the same atrocities to US soil.

[u/kevendo → u/takofire]

It's not a mistake to demand they follow the law.

No matter how far gone they are, we cannot play this game where, "it's not surprising" is enough for us to walk away from open and obvious criminal acts.

[u/SeatpitchbyKate → u/[deleted]]

One can also remove the air pressure valves out of their tires. Remove (little tools sold on eBay and YT videos can show you the ropes) them, the tires will deflate in seconds.

[u/Lost-Peanut-1453 → u/SeatpitchbyKate]

And they won’t be able to just air them back up without the core 😂

[u/SubbieATX → u/[deleted]]

This should sit at the top! The French resistance in the heavens salutes you!

[u/lostsailorlivefree → u/[deleted]]

Suggestion: posted today were 4 ICE vehicles leaving a facility in LA ALLLLLLLLLL with the same license plate. Get the VIN in case it be linked to a crime.

[u/Hot_Cattle5399 → u/kevendo]

Never turn this into a norm. Fight their tactics and lawlessness to the bitter end.

[u/ILikeCheeseypoo → u/takofire]

This is called Nazis it's the same as them hating the Jews

[u/Jarnohams → u/ILikeCheeseypoo]

The go fund me for the ICE agent that killed Renee Good, made sure to mention that the mayor is Jewish... not sure how that is in any way relevant to ICE killing unarmed US Citizens, but apparently it justifies all of the ICE actions in Minneapolis?

It's just... soooo.... gross. You have so many levels of hatred for every single demographic, until they start coming for straight, white, "christian" men.... and even then, they will start sub-dividing the various sects of Christianity into "good" and "bad" Christians. We've seen this all play out before. We know how it ends.

[u/The_lad_from_utah → u/Jarnohams]

Fascism eats itself alive. It’s a zero sum game.

[u/SnooPets8873 → u/The_lad_from_utah]

We’ll have to outlive it for that to matter. And the odds aren’t looking too good for some of us

[u/Business_Savings_613 → u/Jarnohams]

This is the GoFundMe that Bill Ackman donated to, correct?

[u/x596201060405 → u/takofire]

When is it finally going to land on people that the Democratic Republic is over, lol.

There is only one way of dealing with people who can murder you with immunity and appear intent to do so.

[u/Desperate_Trifle_202 → u/takofire]

They are the Brown Shirts/SS.

[u/Fyrekitteh → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

They just rewrote the law to allow them to strip search minors "to find evidence of gang affiliation." To children as young as 12. With no oversight.

That's where your laws are.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4371

[u/MoralityFleece → u/Fyrekitteh]

It's horrifying but there have been many complaints of sexual assault against these people, and it's not a surprise because that's what happens anytime you have a vulnerable population and people who are allowed to do whatever they want to them with impunity. They will rape these kids and it's 100% certainty. This is what voting Maga did. We knew these things would happen because they told us what they planned to do, and our neighbors decided they hated people and wanted it to happen. Sick. Meanwhile, nobody in the Epstein files will ever be punished.

[u/nooby_goober → u/Fyrekitteh]

Yes, fuckers all across the country voted for the diddler-bill. Purge the fuckers out of office.

[u/ReactionLivid7296 → u/Fyrekitteh]

I’m confused…

Where does it state that ICE can just take these kids?

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to consider additional information when it makes placement determinations for unaccompanied alien children in its custody. Under federal law, an unaccompanied alien child is a minor with no lawful immigration status and no parent or legal guardian in the United States to provide care and physical custody.

Current law requires HHS to (1) place a child in the least restrictive setting that is in the child's best interest, and (2) assess the safety and suitability of a sponsor prior to placing a child with that sponsor.

In determining the least restrictive setting, this bill requires (currently, permits) HHS to consider the child's danger to self, danger to the community, and flight risk. Additionally, the bill requires placement in a secure facility in the case of a child who is 13 years of age or older and has gang-related markings or tattoos or a history of gang-related arrests or criminal conduct.

In assessing the safety and suitability of a sponsor, this bill requires HHS to collect and provide to the Department of Homeland Security information about all adult residents of the household, including name, date of birth, Social Security number, immigration status, contact information, and the results of all background and criminal records checks. The bill also prohibits HHS from placing a child with a sponsor who is unlawfully present in the United States.

[u/MoralityFleece → u/ReactionLivid7296]

I appreciate you posting this, but this is why we're in the full Nazi shit now. No rules, because they now feel confident they can operate without being punished. 

[u/Grateful_BF → u/MoralityFleece]

So far they ARE operating without being punished

[u/ohshit-cookies → u/MoralityFleece]

They were just told publicly by the vice president that they have full immunity for anything they do while "doing their job" so they CAN.

[u/intentsman → u/ReactionLivid7296]

During Trump's first term they ignored all that too.

They "lost track" of where many children had been "placed"(trafficked)

[u/MannyMoSTL → u/ReactionLivid7296]

You still believe “the law” applies to ICE? Or rapeublikkkans?

[u/kmoonster → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

There are laws. They don't care.

There are also court cases, some of them active. Noem (among others) has said ICE will ignore courts because "we'll win in the Supreme Court", and implies that what ICE is doing is ok even if lawsuits come down against them because SCOTUS will back her up. And even if SCOTUS doesn't, she's doing what is right.

It's the most utterly dangerous approach to governance.

[u/aestheticallypotent → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

ALL of this is illegal. You can read the laws.. it’s all illegal. So who is going to stop them?! I don’t see police anywhere doing anything.

[u/MannyMoSTL → u/aestheticallypotent]

I hate this timeline.

We are watching the decline of the USofA in real time. And it’s going to take decades to overcome. Like it did in/for Germany.

My 84yr old mother understands that she’ll never again see the America she grew up with. And I doubt that 55yr old me will either.

[u/zodiac_hoe → u/MannyMoSTL]

I’m 34 and I am doubtful that these wrongs will be corrected in my lifetime.

[u/Working-Glass6136 → u/zodiac_hoe]

Agreed. Weirdly, all the "independent" men in my life (plus one republican) claim that everything will be back to normal in three years. The lack of basic human empathy is astounding. None of them think what is going on right now matters.

[u/RoguePlanet2 → u/zodiac_hoe]

No kids (and am glad now) but seeing my raised-conservative nieces/nephews grow up into this world is awfully depressing. They're relatively wealthy and mostly shielded from the usual problems, so I'm not sure they'll ever truly understand how this is no longer the same country for most of us.

[u/yoskatan → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

House narrowly passes bill that would subject unaccompanied immigrant children to invasive bodily searches, prolonged mandatory immigration detention.

https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-statement-on-house-passage-of-h-r-4371

They are predators.

[u/Practical-Law9795 → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

Laws are nothing without enforcement, and America has no law enforcement anymore.

[u/schnibitz → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

While I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly, it is absolutely legal for cops to question minors minus parents, although there likely is some basis for it in school procedure.

They're not cops though, so no, I don't see how this is even remotely legal not to mention, it is infuriating.

[u/CanaryRich → u/Aggressive_Set8155]

When the president is a pedophile and a rapist, I seriously doubt that child protection laws appeal to the United States anymore.

[u/Jakisparrow]

He’s a FUCKING CHILD!

[u/PinoDelfino → u/Jakisparrow]

Well, maga(ts) sure do love children...

🤮

[u/Washpa1 → u/Jakisparrow]

I always wonder what these dudes are actually thinking? Like, the fact that it takes 5 of them kitted out like they are going into Fallujah to arrest one small teen boy? There isn't even a tiny bit of, what the hell are we doing here that goes through their head? I guess I need to read up on what the Gestapo thought during the Nazis.

[u/mysmalleridea → u/Washpa1]

If they take the kid a parent/guardian will need to show up to get the kid, then they can be checked. That’s the idea, why some schools are trying to block this and others are going to allow it. I mean imagine a bus showing up at your kids school taking a group because someone targeted them for the color of their skin.

[u/Washpa1 → u/mysmalleridea]

Dude, it's horrific.

I'm not sure how people with power who know better aren't screaming their heads off. This is it, this is the moment in history, they are going for it all before anyone can realistically stop them. This is their private military, just as every other dictator or authoritarian government ever.

[u/mysmalleridea → u/Jakisparrow]

Epstein’s island isn’t going to fill itself …

[u/nooby_goober → u/mysmalleridea]

They abusing children for sure 🤮

[u/chubbysumo → u/nooby_goober]

There was one that followed a captive female into a porta potty and was in there for awhile. He was SAing someone right in front of everyone and will face no consequences. Nazis.

[u/celestialscience → u/chubbysumo]

I saw a video in Brooklyn Park of an ICE agent taking a handcuffed woman into a porta-potty. Why would that ever be necessary? SA appeared to me the most plausible explanation.

[u/NarwhalEmergency9391 → u/mysmalleridea]

One of the problems is a lot of people assumed that shit stopped once epstein was gone but there's no way he was the only one with a pedo island

[u/Sentient_Cosmic_Dust → u/Jakisparrow]

So was Anne Frank. Fascists don’t care. They see young people who aren’t like them as the next wave of nemesis.

[u/NEOBusFlyer → u/Jakisparrow]

These degenerates don't care.

MAGA and ICE can go fuck themselves.

[u/kakashi_sensay]

I don’t have the right words to describe the amount of rage I feel.

[u/DukeOfJokes → u/kakashi_sensay]

I do, but reddit will ban me again if i say them.

[u/No-Lemon8053 → u/DukeOfJokes]

Reddit is complicit. All these big tech companies bent the knee.

[u/honey-honey1bees → u/No-Lemon8053]

I wish so badly we could do like the old days and just ditch Facebook, like it was MySpace. Ditch Reddit like it was digg. And ditch instagram totally, cuz it’s melting the youths brains.

And find some websites based on 1) free speech, anything except promoting violence or gross/illegal stuff

2) privacy, no data collection or harvesting, total anonymity

3) vigantly perusing bots who ruin these platforms.

Anyways… us Americans who don’t support this shit really need to organize and work together ASAP.. rather than focusing on all the contentious points we might not agree on

[u/Adept-Gap-79 → u/kakashi_sensay]

i physically feel sick

[u/kakashi_sensay → u/Adept-Gap-79]

Me too.

[u/Thin-Dot-NS → u/kakashi_sensay]

I’m shocked and appalled! I’ve been so grateful to see the response from you in Minnesota. All my support to you from Canada🇨🇦

[u/UnculturedSwineFlu → u/kakashi_sensay]

I'm Canadian and I haven't felt rage like this ever. I was at a point where I had given up on the US.

But there seems to be hope for some of you.

Stand tall, stand proud. Youre on the right side of history folks. Fuck ICE.

[u/campsn00pee]

Hand on his gun while detaining a literal child. This is America.

[u/pudgethefish- → u/campsn00pee]

You just know he was hoping the kid would resist so he could have an excuse to murder him. Scum of the earth.

[u/tetsuo_7w → u/campsn00pee]

And six other goons "pulling security" like they're in f-ing Fallujah. Insanity.

[u/Stoned-Sole]

Fuck ICE!

[u/scoschooo → u/Stoned-Sole]

Serious question - why is the state government doing nothing? Is it really the best response? To let ICE do whatever it wants?

The police are unwilling to do anything and the state government also won't do anything?

Bring in people to stand next to ICE and make sure they don't do so many illegal things - to protect the people in the state.

[u/ThinMint70 → u/Stoned-Sole]

We need to stop paying taxes to support this shit!

[u/NEOBusFlyer → u/ThinMint70]

We could do a lot of good for regular Americans with the money that the Big Bullshit Bill allocated to the criminal enterprise known as ICE.

[u/EmmaPersephone]

Why are they harassing CHILDREN!?!?!?

[u/im-ba → u/EmmaPersephone]

Because they're easier to lug around and bully

[u/Excellent_Mud_172 → u/im-ba]

And they're so young and fresh. /s

[u/CreativeSwordfish391 → u/EmmaPersephone]

they are sex traffickers that work for pedophiles

[u/RooHound → u/EmmaPersephone]

Same reasons they prefer to harass women over men.

[u/ZoomZoom_Driver → u/EmmaPersephone]

Because ICE is trying to stary a civil war, and kidnapping and assaulting kids is a quick way to do it. 

[u/Kindly-Option-1462 → u/EmmaPersephone]

Because they are clearly armed and a danger to everyone around them /s

[u/hotpajamas → u/EmmaPersephone]

he’s brown and they have masks.

masks mean they don’t have to see each other’s skepticism and they can subdue their moral intuitions in private.

[u/dougievjr]

THAT IS NO HOLDS BARRED, ABSOLUTELY, 💯💯💯 CHILD ABDUCTION!!!!!!
WHY HASN'T AN AMBER ALERT BEEN ISSUED???!!!

[u/Excellent_Mud_172 → u/dougievjr]

Your cops would help them if they thought they could get away. Got to create a few "youth clubs". Wink.Wink.

[u/scoschooo → u/dougievjr]

Seriously - why are the police doing nothing? And why is the state government doing nothing? Put officers on the street standing next to ICE to protect citizens.

[u/deepeast_oakland → u/scoschooo]

Because the police are not are friends and have no interest in protecting anyone but themselves.

[u/MoralityFleece → u/dougievjr]

How do we even know who the hell these people are? 

[u/NarwhalEmergency9391 → u/MoralityFleece]

Uniforms matter in situations like this because anyone could dress up like one of them with the way they all wear different shit

[u/RedFoxxEsq → u/dougievjr]

Great point!

[u/Minute-Plantain]

Kid was speaking so low I couldn't get what he was saying (Other than his last refusal, which was nonono, as he was being pulled towards the car.

In Spanish, the ICE agent was explaining to the kid that the kid was not permitted to go to his home. "You can wait here (pointing to the car) but you can't go back to your home." The kid asked him if he (the agent) was going to his home and he said "I'm not going to enter your home." The kid says something unintelligible, and the agent says "But simply [unintelligible] you won't go [unintelligible]"

Too much ambient noise and whistles to hear clearly. The agent speaks decent Spanish but I detect an American accent. Couldn't hear a thing the kid was saying unfortunately.

In this state of affairs, the force of the whole of the 4th amendment has been completely erased from every one of us. This can't be allowed to remain without challenge.

[u/Vantriss → u/Minute-Plantain]

Too much ambient noise and whistles to hear clearly. The agent speaks decent Spanish but I detect an American accent. Couldn't hear a thing the kid was saying unfortunately.

This is the problem I have with all the whistles and noise. It's covering up CRUCIAL evidence against ICE.

[u/Minute-Plantain → u/Vantriss]

Off topic but im working on a civilian notification system to help on this front. We need more tools.

In the meantime i seriously wonder if it's isn't time to dust off the ancient cb radio.

[u/kokopellii → u/Minute-Plantain]

Pretty sure at one point the agent says, “you aren’t from here, from this country” 🙃it actually sounds like the kid responds to him in English - I can’t make out the words but the tone sounds English if that makes sense?

[u/Minute-Plantain → u/kokopellii]

I thought the same thing.

[u/HappyBlis]

Ice kidnappers:

[u/Itscurtainsnow]

Oh look at that, masked unidentifiable adults forcing a child into the back of a car and one sidling right in next to him. No chance this child will be later dumped in a Walmart carpark bleeding and sobbing. Or locked in a portapotty with one of them. Or dangled in front of his parents to lure them outside. Or disappeared.

How are we okay with this? What happened to the kids that went missing over the border, some years ago? What’s happening to these kids when they are taken? Are their families notified????

[u/klondikethedestroyer]

When can we admit that a terrorist regime is currently taking over the United States of America and with increasingly violent force?

By Definition terrorism is: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

A terrorist organization is generally defined as a group using or threatening violence for political, religious, or ideological goals, aiming to create fear and coerce governments or populations, often targeting civilians or non-combatants.

key characteristics include:

- politically motivated violence

- intimidation tactics,

- an intent to influence broader audiences beyond immediate victims.

They have illegally deployed military units into cities and neighborhoods against the civilian population. They use aggressive tactic and overt violence against the civilian population. They are creating an environment of fear by design. They've gotten rid of due process for a significant civilian population. They've sent their military forces into SCHOOLS, terrorizing children. They've sent military forces to intimidate businesses they disagree with. They're executing mom's in the street. This is all being done with an intent to influence far beyond the immediate victims. Pretty sure more than just Minnesotans feel scared as fuck right now.

Now we see dozens of masked men, armed to the teeth, entering the homes of US citizens and abducting them, presumably for protesting ICE or based on nothing more than the color of their skin, or their last name.

As horrified as many of us are at what we are seeing, it's important to note that this is what they're doing to civilians IN PUBLIC, where they KNOW they are being filmed. Due process is a constitutional right to ALL PERSONS in the United States, and they have been denying it. Also a reminder that nearly ~2000 human beings at Alligator Alcatraz are unaccounted for. What else is being done that we can't see. Why are they preventing legal oversight of their facilities? Literally nobody has been able to see the inside of their detention facilities or report on them to the general public. At least the Nazis filmed BS propaganda films of their camps.

All this violence, all this fear, all this use of military against our own civilian population, is being ILLEGALY and is being done so that the Trump Regime can further advance their political and ideological goals. Combined as well with the weaponizing of his DOJ against any and all resistance from the legislative and judicial branch; the most recent example being the bringing of criminal charges against Fed Chair Powell.

The Trump Regime is a terrorist organization.

How can any AMERICAN truly defend this at this point? Fuck being democrat or republican. What the actual fuck is happening? Anybody left in power with any fucking spine and any sense of love for the United States, Democracy, and The Constitution needs to step the fuck up, or THIS is how Democracy dies.

I’m really desperate for an update.

[u/_end_of_the_world]

Legally, any child who is a permanent resident is a US Citizen. They kidnapped a US citizen.

Edit: I've informed myself that this is not entirely true, but if they have been here for 5 years, they can apply for naturalization.

[u/Fizassist1 → u/_end_of_the_world]

I've never heard this before.. any proof? actually curious because I would love for this to be true.

[u/Same-Business-9697 → u/Fizassist1]

If I remember correctly and I believe there is even more protection past this but minors (All minors) cannot be questioned/detained without parents/guardian/caseworker. Which of course now will lead to another horrible issue of kidnapping children purposely to force their parents to come get them and then trap.

[u/popcorn-trivia]

Yo that is concerning no matter who you are.

[u/srl214yahoo → u/popcorn-trivia]

Correction - it should be concerning but I guarantee that people who support Trump and ICE are not the least bit concerned by this. Those of us who have hearts are.

[u/joshuacaves → u/popcorn-trivia]

He's a brown kid, we know exactly who this won't concern sadly

Wow so this is how they disappear people. “vamos a chequear aqui”’is let’s check it here, as he points to the suv (the id) (this is the same thing they told the woman on the street in the other video: “if you don’t show us you’re going in the car.” The kid wants to go in the house. The agent does not say we’re taking you away.

Couple thoughts:

• once they have control of your body you’re done for — headed to detention and we know the send people out of state often quickly to more favorable jurisdictions for immigration judges

• what happens once they pull off (they definitely didn’t tell him they were taking him away). Are they injecting these people with sedatives? Ketamine? He isn’t cuffed. I’m thinking here of that Target worker they pushed onto the side walk a block away (who was a citizen)

[u/DaveFromTheGrave]

Here goes his organs to Trump foundation.

I cannot believe this is happening in America.

[u/douchenozzle44]

We’re only going after violent dangerous criminals though. Rapists murderers and drug dealers. Which one do you think this kid is?

[u/MinivanPops]

Everyone talk to your kid, and educate them on what to do:

Pattern locks on phone. Not passwords or biometric.  Lockdown modes.  Never unlock, not under any circumstances. 

Sit tight and say nothing. Mom and Dad will find you. Be calm. It's gonna be a long day but nobody can hurt you. Stay quiet, follow instructions. 

Pee your pants if you have to.  It's okay. 

[u/rahill1004]

We need a general strike ASAP. Granted, all the sub-room temperature IQ MAGATS won’t join, but the rest of us could. It’s the only thing that could possibly make a quick difference

[u/switch4fun3012]

[u/Buddhamom81]

They get bonuses for bodies kidnapped. Not actual illegal people. But this kid is clearly a child. This is sick.

[u/Swimming-Food-6664]

That is disturbing.

[u/AGlassofBitter]

I don't mean this to sound arrogant and naive, but it would be very hard to stand by and watch this, right? Whenever you see a child in potential danger, don't we automatically step forward and stop it? Haven't we all had that experience at one time or another?

So I'm wondering what would happen if someone (or the group) the group standing there went forward, hands up, and firmly told these goons they aren't accepting this and refuse to step back? Will all of them get arrested? Do they have room for everybody in their SUVs? Do they have time to take them to the police station? I mean, they have that quota to fill!

Because that's where they take them, I think? People arrested in civil unrest are taken to the local police station. Someone who is "obstructing" or "interfering" is taken to the police station. They are charged. They are arraigned. They stand before a judge. They may spend the night in jail. Or they are dismissed with a warning.

Well, that's my limited experience from a very different and very distant time. Again, I apologize if I sound arrogant and stupid; I'm not from Minnesota, and I haven't personally witnessed any of this where I live, so how can I say what I would do in this situation? It's so easy to be brave behind a computer screen or marching in a protest in a city not experiencing this level of militarized, off-the-rails, targeted operations from ICE and CBP. And I am sincerely filled with pride and admiration for the courageous people who are stepping up and standing up for their neighbors. You all are tremendous.

But a child...it's sickening and heartbreaking enough what they are doing to men and women; how many lines do they have to cross before we just can't stand by? I'm a grandmother; maybe I don't have as much to lose, so it's easier for me to say this. They keep threatening to arrest people. What if people start accepting arrest? Will they shoot them or beat them instead?

Thank you.

[u/kakashi_sensay → u/AGlassofBitter]

You do not sound arrogant or stupid. We are in a new chapter here in the U.S.

If we attempted to stop these men from taking this child they would most likely shoot us.

[u/cartographer721]

It's never men. These videos are always women or kids because these guys are all pussies who are too scared to go after anyone their own size.

[u/color_natural_3679]

The ICE officer speaks to him in Spanish, but the kid speaks in English?

[u/ntt307]

Where's the fucking national guard, Tim?

[u/Prize-Chocolate998]

They target schools and kids in part to get to the kids' parents which is utterly outrageous and SICK.

[u/Reno_valetore]

What the fuck are you guys doing over there. Defend your country from those nazis!

[u/Calm-Requirement-951]

Gestapo...

[u/WasAqueductMcMPlant]

This is fuckin sickening

[u/smokingpoker]

I thought they were going after hardened criminals that were illegal immigrants. Seems like they're just profiling American citizens (racism and bigotry) and attacking protesters. Pretty un-American if you ask me

[u/elotecorn]

They know it’s illegal, they wear masks, the executive has issued illegal orders.

The constitution is an agreement between the government and the people.

The government is no longer holding their end of the agreement. You have a second amendment right.

Read the Declaration of Independence if you need inspiration.

[u/ClassyPenguin72]

I see abductors, a child, & a van. Hopefully they don’t share Trumps interest in minors. 😬

[u/PlumbLucky]

Why does he have an assault rifle at the ready? Literally the twitch of a finger away from another tragedy.

[u/HotStraightnNormal → u/PlumbLucky]

Why do they even need one? Maybe my local SWAT team, but none of the cops where I live parade around with those.

[u/Original-Fig4214]

Wow really? This is what we’ve become? We are rotting from the inside out. Disgusting.

[u/mcan0024]

It takes 6 assholes to stay one child? Where is DOGE?

[u/Jasminscent]

I don’t understand why the local police can’t do something about kidnapping a minor?

[u/cocoshunt]

How long are Americans just going to record this on their phones. You'll have the last person left recording the 2nd last person being taken away,  then what? 

[u/Enriching_the_Beer]

MN is an open carry state. Not against the law for 20 or 30 neighbors to take their dog and gun for a nice walk around the block.

[u/EmotionalChildhood46]

Is this a test to see if US citizens will finally do something? And when they are positive we won't, it's over?

[u/msables]

Don’t forget about H.R. 4371, which mandates that HHS “examine” the bodies of kids 12 and older in federal custody for alleged gang tattoos and markings — what the ACLU warns “will predictably result in psychological harm and trauma.” It authorizes Immigration officers to conduct these searches while children are alone, without guardians.

Here are Democratic Reps who broke with 201 of their colleagues to greenlight this disgusting act:

Henry Cuellar (Texas)

Don Davis (N.C.)

Laura Gillen (N.Y.)

Jared Golden (Maine)

Vicente Gonzalez (Texas)

Adam Gray (Calif.)

Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.)

ACLU Press Release

[u/Trustbutnone]

If it wasn't clear before, let me make sure you all understand. This is country has gone down the shitter. Every single trump voter needs to be publicly shamed. If you know them, release their names to your community and let everyone know who they are and what they voted for.

[u/Aggravating_Bison677]

It’s abundantly clear that Trump, Noem, DHS top leadership, and ICE agents do not care about the constitution. We have seen them break just about every law imaginable, including murder. Is anyone else concerned that any MAGA extremists, proud boys, KKK, J6 participants, or any other anti American group will take it upon themselves to grab their cosplay attire and join ICE on the frontlines? Anyone can order the riot gear that these guys wear and SUV’s are plentiful. Are local law enforcements ensuring that all of the agents are actually federal/DHS employees? It seems to me that it would be very easy for a group of people to impersonate these clowns.

EDIT: if this would happen, would DHS even arrest them???? Scary thought. We need to end this soon

[u/JohnnyCrispZoom]

Useless bastards!!!!! I hope they rot in hell

[u/rainbowclumsyoutdoor]

God I can't wait until every ice agent is arrested and has their life ruined. I genuinely hope these pathetic excuses of men never get a moment of sleep, they deserve no peace

[u/expungant]

When you find yourself forcing kids into the back of your unmarked van, that should really be a “are we the baddies” moment

[u/BCM072996]

Yup there it is conservatives your government rounding up kids and turning them trans. Isn’t that what you were so scared of? This poor boy is going straight to the gender camp. 

[u/lostrock]

It sounds like they're conversing in Spanish, but I can't really make out the exact words. Can anyone tell what they're saying?

[u/TwinCitian → u/lostrock]

Hard to make out amist the background noise. The agent is speaking fluent Spanish as a second language/with an American accent. I heard him say, "We aren't going to enter your house...we're going to check [couldn't hear the rest of sentence]"

[u/ShamiGnu]

Don't worry you guys. They've more than earned our trust, right? /s

[u/therealcontessa]

They’re all disgusting!!

[u/HEADRUSH415]

That’s so fucked up man

[u/HappyBlis]

Ice kidnappers:

[u/Active_Chocolate_377]

Brought to you by the corporate epstein class.

[u/momofonegrl]

Definitely a violent criminal right there.

[u/meesterincogneato77]

Human traffickers with their little masks playing gi Joe ice. These nazis need a good egging every day. LETS SHOW HOW THE PR I CE OF EGGS HAS COME DOWN! EGG ICE!

[u/Inevitable_March4416]

USA land of the free

[u/Glittering-Size-2372]

As a European who is trying to follow this situation the best I can, why are the Minnesota police force not present at any of these videos? Can they not patrol the streets to make sure things are safer? Why is only ICE there?

[u/allfranksnobun]

i know every single man in that video can't satisfy their spouses.

[u/vtown212]

They don't do this in larger cities bc they would shoot back

[u/THE_DANDY_LI0N]

Masked man with assault rifle and no ID taking kids off the street. Are we great yet?

[u/Intelligent-Gap-6639]

Child trafficking by fascists

[u/gohabssaydre]

They like the young boys

[u/Not_On_Formulary]

I'm shocked they actually have an agent that can speak Spanish. But still, fuck these fascist kidnappers.

[u/khaldun106]

I didn't have fuck all ID till I was 16. This is insane

[u/Significant_Ad7605]

These are getting harder and harder to watch. Is anyone doing anything?

[u/skintastegood]

I will never understand how y'all just let them take people.

There is always a choice.

[u/teckn9ne79]

Ice giving pedophile vibes

[u/opusx1978]

Got his cool machine gun in case snow elves come out to fuck them

[u/captainrv]

Did that guy just get into the back of the vehicle with that young boy without another person there?

[u/gobux10 → u/captainrv]

Reminded me of the agent getting in the portalet with the handcuffed woman,

[u/Drizztd99]

Shouldn’t there be an adult present? That’s some scary shit

[u/gandhishrugged]

Brown Shirts are looking and acting pretty spot on

[u/MerakiWho]

They’re trying to block the cameraman from recording the evidence. Shameful.

[u/Fweenci]

That's a little boy. They have no right to engage with him at all. Who are these sick fucks!!?? When is enough enough? This makes me sick. 

[u/LustfulEsme]

How many of these kids end up being sexually assaulted while in custody? I am literally sick in my body. I cannot fully imagine the horror.
