Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

First they came for the communists?
To add to this, they're maximizing the terror by making their ICE raids plain clothed, fully masked, and in unmarked cars. They often don't identify themselves properly.and don't bother showing a warrant, they just jump people.
The fact that this hasn't already resulted in someone getting shot is a miracle and it will not last.
Exactly. it's indistingushable from a professional criminal kidnapping team. And this is fucked (and very Amerikkkan) but once they start grabbing citizens (particularly white ones) shit is going to hit the fan. It will be like when Tom Hanks getting Covid suddenly made it "real".
Also I wonder if they would even get proper backup if there was armed resistance. Like, they are doing this so under the table, so "illegally" that it might be impossible to get local or federal assistance in any useful timeframe. They know they are effectively kidnapping people "illegally" so they have to move fast and break rules. It's just as likely local police backup would open fire on them as on some kind of community militia (like 50/50 lol). So it would be risky, and they know it.
I doubt they have federal SWAT teams or military staged and standing by. This admin is so bad at logistics I seriously doubt they have planned that far ahead. Plus they fired the logistics guys, i mean they aren't "warfighters" after all.
"Move fast and break things". turns out this is a terrible way to do state violence
I kind of think the admin would like for some of their ICE kidnappers to get shot so it can be used to justify more suppression
ICE tries kidnapping someone. They open fire and call the police. ICE does not call for whatever reason and the cops join the victims side in the shootout.
This is wishful thinking. Cops will show up and shoot the dog (at best)
