Masked and unidentified ICE agents lurking near schools sparked fear, confusion, and a car crash in Latino-heavy New York suburbs.
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.)
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.
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.
Exactly. Joining ice is the easiest way to show the world you're antisocial, racist and have zero emotional intelligence. These people wouldn't know empathy if it slapped someone else across the face
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
Edit: 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
