This immediately popped into my head. Our “new kind of tension” for the next 4 years. Battle back, people! https://youtu.be/NNMUuJWRyxc

I fear this is just the beginning. 😡

angela-doolin.bsky.social•42 days ago

Also disturbing was an item in the chyron about an officer arrested on charges of “forcible” rape. It’s near the beginning of the video.

Every time I read one of these stories I’ll forever curse white women voting red.

It's disheartening & disgusting. If we thought trumscum's 1st term was ugly we ain't seen nothing yet. We can't be cowed by fear & cannot surrender in advance. He won a plurality not a majority. There are more decent folks than MAGATS. We need to stick together & fight injustice everywhere.

Remember, too much ice is dangerous. To prevent that danger it's important to get rid of ice as soon as you see it. Chemical and physical removal are safer than using heat alone, but all methods to keep your areas clear of ice are useful if it works. #WinterAdvice

Bakersfield. The starting point.

eileenmont.bsky.social•42 days ago

Wait- Bakersfield CA isn’t even near a border town. It’s north of LA!!! Sorry friend, I think this is BS.

overlordq.bsky.social•42 days ago

Bakersfield is about 75 miles from the ocean, which is in the 100-mile area.

This isn't accurate. Their jurisdiction also extends from international airports

eileenmont.bsky.social•42 days ago

It’s closer to 140 miles away BUT I had no idea about this. My city is within 50 miles of coastline and this doesn’t happen here…I wonder why Kern County?

overlordq.bsky.social•42 days ago

It's air distance, not road distance.

eileenmont.bsky.social•42 days ago

Holy shit! Who thinks this stuff up? Thanks for the schooling. I never would have guessed any of this in a mil yrs.

thebuttercat.bsky.social•42 days ago

not how it works

eileenmont.bsky.social•42 days ago

I stand corrected! So
much for complaints about a shortage of agents at the actual border!

kernelkorn420.bsky.social•40 days ago

ICE operates within 100 miles of international borders, ocean coasts and airports that have international flights

It's pretty much the whole populated part of the country

eileenmont.bsky.social•40 days ago

I doubt most people realize this. Well, I know I sure didn’t. A friend in Ventura told me their sheriff issued communications reassuring people that if they need police help they can and should call without worry of legal status.

kernelkorn420.bsky.social•40 days ago

That is the whole sanctuary thing. Calling 911 won't lead to an immigration check

In red states though going to the hospital gets your status checked. Talk about 2 America's

Things will get messy before they get better

Bakersfield is the largest city in the Central Valley, where the majority of California agriculture happens.

eileenmont.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yes. County officials may be cooperating-I don’t know. I’m in CA and this isn’t happening in my county-not as much Ag I guess. This is really sickening news in general. As for Ag economy; maybe Latinos for Trump will fill the jobs.

blaurence.bsky.social•41 days ago

Folk were warned about the dangers of this incoming administration. Probably a great deal of people who will now be subject to their draconian policies. Just wait, it’s only just begun! Smh

bowsierosie.bsky.social•41 days ago

Terrifying. I feel like they hope these videos circulate so the fear spreads. If local communities find an immigration lawyer to hold a seminar everyone should attend. You never know if you may get in this situation while driving family or co workers.

davidstoptalking.bsky.social•43 days ago

ACAB and border patrol agents are notoriously in it for the love of what they do

biancatempt.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is why Jesus drinks.

michaellanesmith.bsky.social•43 days ago

Please god sue this officer

handoffate.bsky.social•43 days ago

Qualified immunity, unfortunately. Nothing bad can happen to them

maggyw.bsky.social•40 days ago

Get used to this

thornyyellowrose.bsky.social•40 days ago

Nah..be aware of it happening

Not getting used to it.

erinishere1999.bsky.social•40 days ago

Fuck, no

maggyw.bsky.social•40 days ago

IOW it’s gonna start happening a lot.

erinishere1999.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah, I’m aware. That is not my point.

maggyw.bsky.social•40 days ago

I know.

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•43 days ago

I have a sudden desire to see the bank records of those two “agents”.

Those so called “agents” act more like insecure lawless bullies.

teufelwolf666.bsky.social•41 days ago

When now LA Mayor Karen Bass was a congresswomen in 2016 I ask her what she would be doing to reign in ICE - she laughed and said nothing.
That is why ICE is comfortable doing this will Biden is still POTUS.

theactualbrian.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's no act.

tomrichardson.bsky.social•43 days ago

I don’t think Bakersfield is less than 100 mi from any borders

kernelkorn420.bsky.social•40 days ago

Airports that have international travel and sea ports / harbors count as well

nobodyspecial3.bsky.social•43 days ago

Coastal border count towards our freedom exclusion zone.

drkevguitar.bsky.social•41 days ago

The next four years will be more and more of this. If white Americans are not prepared to protect their fellow citizens from this kind of state-sanctioned abuse, with intervention and civil disobedience when necessary, we will be collectively dooming America to the garbage heap of the 21st century.

scorpiomama53.bsky.social•41 days ago

White Americans elected Trump they wanted this.

thornyyellowrose.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes most did.
Those who did not will be donating funds, hiring lawyers to help people like Mr Campos & his employee.

violetfog72.bsky.social•40 days ago

A friend of mine, born in San Juan, was detained at the San Ysidro crossing. It took CBP 3 days to figure out Puerto Ricans can travel on US passports. Held with no phone calls, his wife & kids thought he'd been murdered in TJ---

bonforage.bsky.social•43 days ago

Thugs. He should sue the living shit out then for terrorism, hate crimes and unmitigated violence.

you know what? don't trust pdf's from random internet strangers, here's a link to the site from which it's linked

barondizzaster.bsky.social•40 days ago
