Robbers pretending to be ICE agents

To be clear, the ice people are also criminals, it's just a different crime.

In authoritarian regimes it isn't uncommon for the state officers and soldiers to engage in casual theft along side their official duties. With the way our country is going, there is a non-zero chance this was an actual ICE officer just working his "side hustle".

It is like they should be identifiable. I forgot, but a member of congress made a good point how police have arrested way more dangerous people with their face and ID showing.

Nobody believes the made up attacks on ICE they just don't want the social backlash of being casted out of their communities.

Only one thing to do now. We have to treat all ICE agents like armed criminals until they show their face, a badge, and a warrant.

He low key helped show why we want law officers to have a branded uniform, name tag and provide ID.

If ICE agents behave like criminal thugs why wouldn't criminal thugs behave like ICE agents?

All maga are terrorists. It is a terrorist organization.

I hope we start seeing people dressing up as ICE agents and then disappearing real ICE agents while they're off duty. Just round them up. When they protest and try to show their citizenship papers, just call them fake. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Everybody pretends to be an ICE agent to steal or commit violence, it is an utterly illegitimate mob of thugs loyal to a dictator.

The only thing that isn't pretend about ICE is the bigotry and violence.

I see no meaningful difference between these people and "actual ICE agents".

Remember the right claiming Floyd protesters were all looters? Itso happens whenever the nation is in distress (in this economical and societal context) the smartest of potential crimedoers would take that as an opportunity. Whenever it's some natural disaster or social conflict, there would be some to use it. And it's fucking frightening that America came to the point that the thing that bothers us is that thugs didn't have a real license to do thugs' things, and every other article going by the #ICE tag is not just stealing, but kidnapping people into Salvador camps, so getting mugged by fake ICE officer is better than meeting the real ones now? It's a fucking circus.

Awesome. Force the police to identify themselves.

How many ''ICE'' agents does it take to empty out a bank? I'm thinking of writing a Hollywood film.

Remember, in the US, you can be charged for obstructing a plain-clothes officer's duties even before they ID themselves. (I'm not a lawyer but you could refer to 18 USC 111 or 18 USC 1501, or the fact that police don't need to know the law properly to enforce it, Heien v. North Carolina)

And, fake-ICE cosplayers like this guy can have their charges dropped by DOJ or pardoned by Trump.

So if you get visited by someone unknown, you're damned if you do or you don't. Demand a judicial warrant and wait to receive one with an actual judge's signature, before you open the door to agents you don't know.

Many commenters totally predicted this sort of thing.

Dear Americans,

You're well within your right to shoot ICE agents on sight.

ICE peoples are criminals

Nah, this isn’t what we feared would happen. We’re equally concerned with the actual officers committing crimes against people, if not more so due to their access to resources and being backed by the government.

White people trying to get rich the same way they’ve been getting rich for the last 600 years: by stealing from brown people.

I had to double check if this was the onion, and now I'm still wondering in the back of my mind if this is some meme.

ROFL this simulation is getting so surreal.

(I feel bad for laughing at this fucked up world)

And now ICE agents are going to be attacked as criminals.

How can you police a population if no one can identify which are the cops and which are the criminals?

Yeah anyone now with a security/police/ice/military uniform is not acting with the constitution and is labeled a threat. They are not in charge of public safety anymore

So the solution to the forced deportation is to dress everybody in ICE "uniforms" and deport the deporter?

How do we know it wasn't just a regular ice agent?

thepoliceproblem has led to thenotactualpoliceproblem

to be honest i feared ICE before this. and them deporting people that were here in good faith trying to work through the system presented to them is the problem, as well.

You can tell he's not a real ICE agent because his face isn't covered.

100% Do you think he cares though, or is he instead laughing at you maniacally as you suffer?

Thank you for including the relevant news article.

This is FAKE NEWS but also if it was REAL it's because the SHOP OWNERS are Criminals and NOT the Person who Stole Money while Impersonating an Officer!

Anyways it's a GOOD THING Unidentified Ice Agents are KIDNAPPING CHILDREN!

(Someone once told me how to add alt text here but I already forgot.)

I don't believe in God, but for shits and giggles, maybe this thing exists. I give it a little prayer every day and I say to myself, or to the magical creature, please God, Nuke America. I think we're too goddamn stupid to have an armed revolution. We're just going to keep standing in the ways of cars, getting run over at protests by dumbass neo-Nazis. While the Democrats just sit there with their thumb up their ass. Like Nancy Pelosi just counting money instead of doing her fucking job. Big tited, bored housewife got tired of drinking wine became a politician. Now she's got the sellout genocide supporting AOC as her little pet. But yet, you know, none of this matters because America is an imperialist empire. And fascists are the useful idiots of empire. And when capitalism is in crisis, especially inside of the imperial core, well, you're going to see some terrible things happen. One day, they're going to use drones, killer drones, on American citizens, and AOC allowed that to be signed in a defense bill.

All you fucking idiots are OK with this if you didn't immeditantly go out and flag every grandma that's 5 over.

not much stolen valor in this, I suppose.

neighbors pretending to be agents?
