It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

What if there were tools to
Identify them
These dudes with different shoes are too ad-hoc to look like bonafide arrest team.
This is a reported “ice raid” in Stansbury Park Utah on May 5th.
Not a ONE of these fuckers in streets is a professional, not one. I can spot 100 things off in every one of them, right down to the POS workboots that no self respecting LEO would wear
these are the people who have been eagerly waiting for the permission to go full authoritarian on anyone not "them"
With all the bungling, I don't think these guys are legit.
Seems to be a regular thing in our state now.
We can't tell ICE from human traffickers because they are acting like human traffickers!
Follow one out to their vehicle, get a shot of the vehicle and everyone in it, the plates/designation on the vehicle, and everyone can eventually be identified.
Once identified, they themselves have to worry about warrants.
The J6 idiot-baby-terrorists were identified one by one like this.
State-sanctioned lynch mobs.
Invoke Insurrection Act, declare martial law, suspend elections, and voilà – maga will really have something to celebrate at dear leader's birthday military parade.
Unless they're not actually horribly violent gang members and the Administration is actually lying to us about that. Hmm. What to believe.
Be a total Karen, all in the name of good citizenship.

They’re trying to creat a faux military to do what the actual military won’t.
And that should alarm all of us.
Eventually I would expect we’ll see criminal gangs realizing they can use this against their rivals.
PROVES THEY DO UNDERSTAND SOONER OR LATER...
THEY ARE GOING TO GRAB THE WRONG PERSON WITH
MILITARY TRAINING AND A TASTE FOR MEETING FORCE WITH BLUNT FORCE.
so they all can be the main character
imagine showing up to ̶h̶i̶g̶h̶s̶c̶h̶o̶o̶l̶ the no knock raid in the same outfit as Bruce!
it really is all tv for the right wing
probably why its relatively easy to uncover who they are because they brag so much
They may turn up at the wrong place and a few of them will die.
They'd never try this in a red state. Too many agricultural and meatpacking operations rely on undocumented workers. Those companies are owned by red hat maga.
It’s quite alarming.

Probably illegally hired
Here’s an example on a Garda.

no warrants
no reading of rights
faces hidden
names hidden
badges hidden or non-existent
Even with the pardon, a J6 arrest would still preclude people from being newly hired as ICE employee.
White supremacists like Proud Boys, and Blackwater ops.
My town’s tiny maintenance/garbage pickup crew wears matching beige shirts.
It is the absolute bare minimum to earn public respect.
Maybe that's why ICE Barbie carries a purse full of cash?
Masked Cowards
Mayors, governors; please help US figure this out.
Did no one realise this is what he meant?
His triumphant return to power would need them to cosplay as Sonderkommando.
Incidentally did you know MA is one of the states where suppressors are still illegal
Reading about Röhms arrest, hitlers speach afterwards that it was "The worst treachary in world history" just sounds so Trump like
police with weapons of war to arrest some 50 year old lady, with masks covering their faces ?
@kenmartin.bsky.social is doing A TERRIBLE JOB
militarized police due to George Bush illegal war
BUT DEMS REFUSE TO STRIKE BACK
This will be important later for prosecuting these terrorist bastards.

Dox them. We will have no secret police here.
For folks who don’t know where Great Barrington is, the raid was about 8 miles down the road from Tanglewood.

They’ve been steadily degraded over the last couple of decades* (but especially the last 10 years) because their corporate overlords are cowed or in cahoots with the current regime
*Like a frog in a boiling pot

They also look like LARPers, but we know that's a core part of the operator look.
No a jury in America would convict me.
How would the courts / lawyers know who took you into custody?
What happens when it becomes just gangs of masked, mismatch-outfitted guys with military weapons rolling up and kidnapping women off the streets?
What’s stopping them??
How do you know we haven’t?
Isn’t that why we have badges & uniforms, etc.?
Especially with masks?

There have already been multiple sexual assaults by ICE impersonators.

Otherwise it’s no different than if it WERE unsanctioned militias.
similar to a lynch mob mostly comprised of moonlighting officials including the constabulary
Maybe your insight could be a short thread on how you know that these goon looking guys are actually feds. That would be so helpful to the rest of us.
Dangerous for whom?
still not clear how this would give you the magic ability to determine the (relative) legitimacy of unidentified masked men you see in a video as they disappear people off the street.
Any group of people could get together then dress and behave the exact same way.
Justification for martial law 🤷🏻♂️
1. WHITE ✔️
2. Ability to Follow UNLAWFUL
ORDERS✔️
3. SEE #1✔️
Why should I believe they’re legitimate when there’s no evidence they are?
But I don't think it's unreasonable to question who makes up these groups. Also, I don't think anyone is about to charge bare-fisted at a dude with AR15, even if he's unlikely to be good at using it.
There are no "feds". There is ICE, FBI, etc. and you should never be unable to tell which one a "fed" is a part of.
That's why we wonder whether they are "real feds."
They think they look like strong men, marching in to battle?
Pathetic!
So why don't the all wear the uniform?
Catch one, check his bank apps to see who pays him, enjoy the eye exercises 👀😵🤨👁️🗨️
Reject fascism!
