ICE AGENT FLED FROM ANGRY RESIDENTS OUTSIDE NEW YORK SCHOOL — AND GOT IN A CAR CRASH
ICE AGENT FLED FROM ANGRY RESIDENTS OUTSIDE NEW YORK SCHOOL — AND GOT IN A CAR CRASH
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.)
If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.
No place for fascism in NY!
As somebody from Western NY, this made me happy to read
Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.
Hoping no real people were injured.
Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn't matter anymore.
Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.
Westbury: "in Latino-heavy New York suburbs."
Ummmmmmmm.... Unless Westbury changed in the 6 months since I've been there, it's a really wealthy area. Not that Latinos can't be wealthy, but my dad lives there, I'm literally going there Sunday. I wouldn't exactly describe it as Latino-heavy, unless you aim to describe the entirety of Long Island as Latino-heavy...
I feel bad for the car.
It could've helped a member of the working class.
It's a start.
I wonder if ICE agents are paid a lot more than those people would be in other jobs having the same qualifications/experience etc, and that’s the reason why they stay on. Or some massive perks or something. Why isn’t there a mass exodus of ICE agents leaving? Or maybe there is and it’s not reported? There must be some attraction?
"Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school" is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.
Is the pickup truck ok?
Why is the title shouting at me?
I hope he was hurt badly enough to not be able to go back to work any time soon.
Should be the Wholesome News thread
this is the way.
My neck and back would hurt. I thought the NKVD/RSHA clowns were all about AmeriKa First, at least drive an Amerikan built vehicle.
The dude in the still looks like one of those murdaugh murderers from SC.
Womp womp.
