Cops are great

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.

Least shocking plot twist--it's the wrong guy

molicioushat.bsky.social•24 days ago

Of course it fucking was.

ICE will just shrug and deport him anyways because it contributes to the quota.

chelseanh.bsky.social•24 days ago

Last I heard, the quota was on arrests rather than deportations. Which could change, of course, but the arrests are sufficient unto the day.

gregdoucette.bsky.social•24 days ago

Of course 🤦‍♂️

Lucky for those ICE agents that they have the George Costanza defense on their side.

I have been reliable told by the right that our streets are overrun w violent criminals from south America who are eating my pets and murdering me daily. Yet ICE is going after sick older people. Someone should tell alert Noem, she may need to put on some more military swag for the next TV hit.

Are they entitled to any restitution when this happens?

molicioushat.bsky.social•24 days ago

I feel like QI would protect them from that sadly.

gregdoucette.bsky.social•24 days ago

Depends on your definition of "entitled"

In a universe where laws mattered, yes

But courts invented qualified immunity from the ether, to protect cops from the consequences of their bad decisions. So no

thatac.bsky.social•24 days ago

QI means you never have to be right.

crinnian.bsky.social•23 days ago

Can't wait until Trump finally gets around to beefing up qualified immunity like he said he wanted. Gonna be a shitshow. 🤦‍♂️

Our tax dollars at work intimidating old and sick people

Note, immigration is a *civil* not *criminal* matter.

These ICE-ERO thugs have Officer-Blart levels of competence. They should get back to patrolling the Lady Footlocker.
