Since it's completely illegal for any government agency to run around masked driving unmarked cars, I think it's safe to say these are pardoned insurrectionists.

Who's gonna charge them? The attorney general is a lying corrupt Trump loyalist who will do anything for him and will refuse to do anything against him she threw her oath to the constitution out the window from the moment she was sworn in👿👎🏾

What happens when targets "stand their ground" with lethal firepower when accosted by strangers?

sg99.bsky.social•4 hours ago

That's just kidnapping.

caledoni4.bsky.social•6 hours ago

No badge? No ID? No Warrant?
Any criminal element might use this strategy to target-
•witnesses in an ongoing investigation/ upcoming trial.
•rival gang members
•anyone at all

If they are allowed to do this unchallenged it will continue. It will escalate.

bovey1982.bsky.social•1 hour ago

It is escalating. Anyone not white is being targeted, no questions asked, no proof of identity wanted or asked for. Not interested if you’re law abiding or not. Next they are compiling a list of autistic people. Where do you think that will end?

I also meant it mightn’t be officials doing the ‘snatching off the street or wherever)

caledoni4.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I meant get much worse/escalate MORE than it already is.

I guess this is who we are now?? How long will we tolerate this blatant disregard for human rights?

tbirdlady67.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I don't think you're going to like this answer, but this is how we've always been. It just seems more widespread now because Trump as (F)POTUS gives MAGAs cover to let their racist flag fly free. And yes, it's across the generations. MAGAs start raising their kids with racist beliefs early.

tbirdlady67.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Honestly, I wish they'd just wear their robes and hats openly so I'd know who to avoid.

modonnell5.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I hear ya. I know we have a history of atrocities but I guess I’ve just never heard of masked men disappearing Americans right off the street like they have been recently. It’s like we’re in Russia, not America.

Is anyone seriously still asking if we’re “heading toward” authoritarianism?! Bc we are in it, MFers!

Thugs/operatives wearing masks say a lot more than any bulls#$t out if the mouth of Noem, Miller, Homan, or the vicious mobster they serve.

Gestapo tactics. How do these ppl follow these illegal orders and then go home to their families, like everything is normal. Don't they know they could be next.

Masked kidnappers will must die.

What is wrong with America? Fight for your rights!

It’s a win-win for the administration. Either they get to disappear an immigrant who shows up for their court appearance, or they scare them enough that they get into even more legal trouble which justifies targeting them. This is cold and calculated and intentional.

How do we know that these aren’t random white supremacists ? In states with stand your ground laws I’m surprised nobody has been shot yet.

zengali.bsky.social•15 minutes ago

They ARE random white supremacists. They just might also be ICE.

realzealman.bsky.social•17 minutes ago

Who even are these guys? I’ve heard rumor that they are deputized tough guys… proud boys and the like. Without ID and acting like this, I have to think this is at least plausible.

arbtrader.bsky.social•1 hour ago

this happens in broad daylight in a courthouse. WTF!

unforgetableme.bsky.social•1 hour ago

When do the copycats start? No ID, plain clothes, no badges, ID or warrant. I’ve imagined what can go wrong.

realzealman.bsky.social•12 minutes ago

They’ve been doing it already. Read reports while ago.

We need an update to This is America

heidiotoo.bsky.social•7 hours ago

How about wet freaking ARREST the men doing this?

gamecat235.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It’s insane that masked men, refusing to identify themselves, and refusing to show a warrant, were allowed to kidnap someone, *in a fucking courtroom* and no one stopped them.
