Jokes gonna be on ALL y'all when Vinny and Giovanni charge 4x as much to mow your lawns.

The real problem with masked, plainclothes ICE agents? Local police aren’t arresting them. If you or I wore face coverings and unmarked clothes bought off Amazon, without ID and assaulting people, we’d be in jail. Why are they getting a pass?

curlysuzey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agents? Agents of what? We don’t know who they are. When are people going to take matters into their own hands? I remember the community stopped Richard Ramirez on the street. Can we do that here? This is some BS.

albiserious.bsky.social•8 days ago

They’re bounty hunters and they’re getting money per migrant… it’s abhorrent and shouldn’t have been allowed by any politician

josphusanderson.bsky.social•8 days ago

Some concerned representative might just write a very strong letter

tbapple.bsky.social•8 days ago

If they are bounty hunters, then the amnesty for farm and hotel workers is bullshit.
There certainly isn’t any due process about where a bounty hunter kidnapped a person.

albiserious.bsky.social•8 days ago

I never for a second believed that exemption for farm and hotel workers.

tbapple.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Stock Market believed it.

Do you have a source that isn't a random reddit post

This article says it is just a guy saying this but it was published earlier this year. Maybe this sicko was really trying to warn us??

These are absolutely federal agents of one of the DHS agencies. People need to stop spreading misinformation about this.

curlysuzey.bsky.social•6 days ago

How do you know that?

If you go to the TikTok video it has a link to the YouTube page for the municipality, and there's a ~90 minute municipal hearing, with this guy being the last speaker. I can't attest to the truth of it, but it was said months ago.

adajosfit.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unfortunately, we don't know who the person in this video is or who the people conducting some other captures are, so we don't know if they are or aren't bounty hunters.

dosdogs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Source that they’re not? After Minnesota I don’t believe LEO in uniform are legit. No license plates? No ID? Drawing arms like that? They’re goons.

thembo.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's not how proving claims works. These are cops and agents, not random boogeymen.

turnerjoy.bsky.social•8 days ago

The guy in Minnesota was wearing a mask over his face that was meant to look like a different face. Fuck ICE and all that, but if someone is crouching behind my vehicle like that I’m gonna consider them a possible threat also.

zeruch.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's not been actively confirmed, but this interview sparked a lot of interest as to exactly why so many supposed agents seem to lack the basic features and behavior of trained government agents: https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/alleged-bounty-hunters-claims-spark-controversy-at-sunnyside-press-conference/article_1aab904c-deb0-11ef-ae20-b748ada1c855.html

I run pi-hole, noscript, and a few other goodies to keep my browsing experience clean...so yeah, I didn't see that (thankfully) either.

jspell-art.bsky.social•8 days ago

Why do you think the Cop City facilities were training civilian volunteers to arrest immigrants in the past few years?

You remember that, right?

Let's connect the dots here.

yucateco.sextape.mov•8 days ago

there’s no evidence of that. ICE aren’t dangerous and unaccountable because they’re NOT federal agents they’re scary and unaccountable because they ARE.

there’s a lot of folks these days insisting they must not work for the government because they have a naive faith in the lie of america.

jcwill324.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think the ICE forces were rapidly expanding by hiring a bunch of J6 militia guys.

cattlecrafts.bsky.social•8 days ago

They've always recruited white supremacists and racists so that isn't in doubt here.

yucateco.sextape.mov•8 days ago

that’s a conspiracy theory and it doesn’t even make sense.

ICE employs 20,000 agents. there are SHOCKINGLY few of these white nationalist militia guys. of the over 700 people arrested after jan 6 can you guess how many were these organized extremists? 31. 28 cops or former cops.

lavendersalve.bsky.social•8 days ago

This. getting very tired of blueanon bullshit

cattlecrafts.bsky.social•8 days ago

Very much feels like it's a campaign to separate "real" ICE from "fake" ICE so that the "real" ICE can be left alone because they were good little boys obeying the law and only bad bad impersonators did the evil things, the federal agency is still good guys.

yucateco.sextape.mov•8 days ago

truth is dead

dadwantstotalk.bsky.social•8 days ago

*they are contract Agents with no general policing power. Every "arrest" is an illegal abduction.

jjyahdie.bsky.social•8 days ago

100% this.

We need to stop repeating and believing the b.s. phrase "this is not who we are". Friends, this is EXACTLY who we are.

yucateco.sextape.mov•8 days ago

dangerous* not scary, edited my phrasing mid comment and messed up

avernalaw.bsky.social•8 days ago

Exactly correct

zota.bsky.social•8 days ago

We're trying, Patty.

They may be serial killers, but they're now moving in armed and armored caravans, so it's not quite as easy as tackling a dude.

Support your local protesters, even when it gets messy.

curlysuzey.bsky.social•8 days ago

I know. I don’t even know what I’d do at my Costco in La habra. I hope I’d have the guts to do something!!!

zota.bsky.social•8 days ago

Please don't tackle any gangs of masked gunmen. But it's legal to record in public areas, and shouting profanity is firmly protected by the first amendment. ✊

jmmelica.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Federal agent".

wendella.bsky.social•8 days ago

do you even know it's a federal agent? not clear.

puzzle-dad.bsky.social•8 days ago

How do they know they're federal agents?
FFS

dadwantstotalk.bsky.social•8 days ago

Shoot them and find out?

tommystevens.bsky.social•8 days ago

Do we all need to be armed
Now to prevent this?

itsmsd.bsky.social•6 days ago

They need to come up with something more official for ICE. Plain clothed, bandana, no license plates men are showing up kidnapping people. This is out of hand. Who is ice? It's disturbing.

jspell-art.bsky.social•8 days ago

Looks like an armed cartel to me.

digitalmb.bsky.social•8 days ago

I know you mean "federal agent"

TY for bringing this to everyone's attention

Since no one in the administration is giving anybody any information or accountability, is it possible that these people have been deputized? They have access to where their prey is going to be. That has to be supplied by the government. I just assumed they were proud boys that were deputized.

digitalmb.bsky.social•8 days ago

Even if that's true, that doesn't relieve them of their obligation to identify themselves as "police" OR to show a warrant (just bc you claim to be a cop doesn't mean you have probable cause to detain).
Otherwise you're just impersonating police, which is a felony

trainingporpoises.bsky.social•8 days ago

All true, but they clearly have no regard for the law anymore. Whatever is necessary. I'm sure Miller didn't even bother to have them deputized.

digitalmb.bsky.social•8 days ago

When the law returns to democratic (small "d") hands, the hands of people who believe in and abide by the law, that's the kind of fact that will make a difference in getting convictions
