What community is this in?

onijay.bsky.social•18 days ago

Why are they allowed to cover their faces? They're disgraceful and evil.

lin12313.bsky.social•19 days ago

Is everyone looking at this intersection and know where it is? I havent any idea.

susangu3.bsky.social•19 days ago

It’s like being transported in time back to Nazi Germany.

nothing says 'I know how evil this is' like not showing your face- if they were proud of their work they would not hide

sanchezroger.bsky.social•19 days ago

Authoritarian Police State by dumbass, narcissistic Oligarchs and their loyalists. So, when do we start fighting in this war?

radiumskull.bsky.social•19 days ago

WTF agency is "federal police"? Or does it just say that on the back of their jackets.

independentmedia.bsky.social•19 days ago

What right do they have to stop cars? Do they even need to stop?

cheryllynnebradley.bsky.social•19 days ago

No wonder they gave them a Pope, they are in the seventh level of hell now.

bab0331.bsky.social•18 days ago

What’s with the masks are they ashamed?

microsapiens.bsky.social•18 days ago

Dems should start dressing up as ICE, put masks on and detain other ICE agents.

That’s the amount of legitimacy ICE has. They’re criminals with govt-issued outfits.

magatzapper.bsky.social•19 days ago

Pointing out that Trump et al. are Nazis has earned one heaps of scorn and ridicule for a decade, yet here we are.

craigdodge.bsky.social•19 days ago

I grew up at the tail end of the Cold War and we were told the Soviet Union was evil because the people there needed papers to travel anywhere there.

Good thing those days are past, huh?

ronblack404.bsky.social•18 days ago

Wait.. When did it become acceptable for Leo to cover their faces?

john-gardi.bsky.social•19 days ago

So it's come the 'your papers please' stage of authoritarianism in America now?
This is just one reason why my country, Canada, has put out a travel advisory warning Canadians to not go to America unless absolutely necessary.

barneygreenway.bsky.social•15 days ago

Canada has done no such thing. The US is currently 'green' rated for travel.

There was one a few weeks ago the last time I checked.

sue-stone.bsky.social•18 days ago

Show Me Your Papers! America is becoming a surveillance police state. We've seen this before in Nazi Germany! 👿

kasiarose.bsky.social•19 days ago

JFC I hate Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem. I pray karma is real and hits them hard.

terrybooboo.bsky.social•19 days ago

All of them will burn in hell one day.

keppletim.bsky.social•19 days ago

They are wearing masks to hide their identity.

rosegardenerwi.bsky.social•19 days ago

When a law enforcement officer has to put on a mask to do their job, you know they know what they are doing is SO wrong.

They know... they know...

"Just following orders" is NOT an excuse or a reason.

pinballtocrease.bsky.social•19 days ago

I hope these agents require therapy later for the turmoil they put people through, but that’s expecting them to have a soul, so . . .

madhousemuse.bsky.social•19 days ago

Exactly. Lesson from Nuremberg trials NOT learned. 🙄

rosegardenerwi.bsky.social•19 days ago

In all honesty, what percentage of Americans even know what the Nuremberg trials are?

What percentage of law enforcement personnel? 🤷🏻‍♀️

madhousemuse.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm guessing it would be a very low percentage of law enforcement! 😆

rosegardenerwi.bsky.social•19 days ago

Sadly .. a low percentage of the average population as well.

I can't even begin to fathom the answers a late-night show host would get if he stood on a busy street corner and asked passersby. 🫤

loudlovebird.bsky.social•18 days ago

Just as congressmen and senators with security details. They know what they are doing is wrong and have to watch their backs.

terrybooboo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thugs. AKA Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, 3%. THUGS.

eaos.bsky.social•19 days ago

So now they are doing “blitz” campaigns as they call them abroad in places (brasil).

Nice.

gailfr.bsky.social•19 days ago

But at least they're only going after violent criminals.

terrybooboo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, the 6 year olds.😢

debe1477.bsky.social•19 days ago

Omg. This is horrible.

emagnis.bsky.social•18 days ago

What kind of papers are they supposed to have on them?

joanmcrobbie.bsky.social•19 days ago

“Asking them for their papers.” USA 2025.

dcdufour.bsky.social•19 days ago

As a matter of general principle, officers should not hide their faces. Part of due process is to be able to identify your arresting officer should you need to.

pileque.bsky.social•19 days ago

They must also provide valid law enforcement ID and a warrant. Or you have every right to drive away. They are not traffic police.

iconoclast88.bsky.social•19 days ago

What papers? Sometimes I even forget my wallet at home.

newblue25.bsky.social•18 days ago

This is my question. If I were stopped and *ICE* asked me for my papers, I would ask *what papers?*

So what would happen next? Would I get hauled out of my car and kidnapped because I don’t have any papers? And asked a question?

pileque.bsky.social•19 days ago

Get cameras out there, get megaphones out there, get crowds out there. Photograph them, demand ID and drive them out. Identify them!

johnheaner.bsky.social•19 days ago

Fascist show of force in the nation's capital. #NaziPlaybook

serena-spencer-esq.bsky.social•18 days ago

markbeekeeper.bsky.social•19 days ago

They KNOW this is not legal. This is kidnapping.

kathryncramer.bsky.social•19 days ago

What city?

terrybooboo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Googled, Washington DC

seeker8998.bsky.social•19 days ago

I distinctly remember being told a month or two ago that we're far from "Papers, please." I know it's been a long month but not long enough that this was unpredictable by that point.

annarompage.bsky.social•19 days ago

It’s only been 100 or so days, out of 1460 of them

marisakabas.bsky.social•19 days ago

There are three schools (including one bilingual) and a community health center right by this intersection. ICE came at 8am during peak drop off/commute. They knew what they were doing.

ellcall.bsky.social•19 days ago

And, what, if you don’t have your passport or birth or naturalization cert on you (like no one does in their morning commute), you get arrested? Only if you’re not white? Have an accent?

christopherspecht.bsky.social•19 days ago

These people want to scare parents and traumatize children.

lambda-calcul.us•19 days ago

One is bilingual and one is a two-generation school that serves families with ESL parents who enroll alongside their children for continuing adult education.

steverocks35.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is NAZI shit of course. I just wonder how long this country is going to tolerate it.

jeffholcomb.bsky.social•19 days ago

Despicable.

pygmyhippo67.bsky.social•19 days ago

ICE are the new Brownshirts. Shame on them.

stoneyboboney.bsky.social•19 days ago

Evil Gestapo shit.

toowildadream.bsky.social•19 days ago

Where is this? What city, state?

pattyconway.bsky.social•18 days ago

Washington DC

mfbgoblue.bsky.social•19 days ago

All wearing masks - Covid is over - why all the hidden faces - speaks volumes.

fdora24.bsky.social•19 days ago

The masked police from The Watchmen: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes. Nos custodimus." Rough translation: 'Who watches the watchmen. We do." Accountable to no one, they're taken over by racists. https://youtu.be/fVj89-wnZSI?feature=shared

chrisboftheeast.bsky.social•19 days ago

Well we know they wear them to hide their identity and they aren't medical masks, but Covid isn't over. It is still disabling people en masse.

wendella.bsky.social•19 days ago

Armstrong Williams wrote a May 1 column decrying the privacy violations of the Real ID drivers licenses, but somehow I don't see him decrying the privacy violation of "show us your papers".
