Im surprised the street gangs or criminal elements in these cities haven’t popped a few ice agents by now

If they wear masks and don't identify themselves they are simply a criminal, and you can stand your ground.

The crowd backed off after managing to free protesters held by agents. One ICE officer yelled, “We’ll get you next time!” while walking backward.

Numbers. As long as the crowd has numbers, they will give up. Send them packing with their tails between their legs.

When this is over, we are going to have to try, convict, and hang thousands of ICE agents for crimes against humanity. They are committing capital offenses. Many of them need to hang for this.

They even sound like cartoon villains.

And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling protestors!

more like team rocket jesse and james, they come in all planning and calculated, but ends up easily getting sent flying.

10 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, almost all with faces covered, tried to enter the courthouse at 100 Montgomery St. They were there to escort other agents already inside, who had a young immigrant man in custody. ICE has been routinely arresting asylum-seekers following their immigration hearings

These people are helping immigrants apply to have their hearings held online. Press release on the subject. Spread the word!

So, this is purely for educational purposes, like googling jury nullification, but people should be aware of what a police "Stop Stick" is and how the police use them.

They're basically constructed out of stuff from the hardware store: a 2-3ft foam triangle cut from a sheet with a utility knife, ~2" steel tubes cut to a syringe-like point on either end and glued to the three faces of the triangle, then the whole thing wrapped in paper or fabric. When a vehicle runs one over the foam crushes and the tube-needles instantly deflate the tire. You can drive for a few minutes after being hit (until the now flat tire disintegrates and you're on the rim) but they work by...strongly deterring...someone from driving forward because of the amount of damage they cause and rendering the vehicle much less capable when trying to escape a persuit.

I see these posts and think "boy, I sure hope none of these anti-ICE people used laser pointers on themasked stazi... Sure would be a shame to use prime day to buy a load of laser pointers and hand them out"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

Yeah or use infared lasers outside the visual spectrum and high wattage... they wouldnt see it coming. Sun glasses wouldnt stop the light either. But I never said this.

Its self defense to stop ICE.

[–] wirebeads 20 points 12 hours ago

Cowards. These people are cowards. Unmask and dox these pathetic humans.

You know these people have to sleep at some point.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

iirc there was (may still be ongoing) protests at hotels ICE agents where staying at with the goal of not letting them get sleep...

That video is a brutal watch. I hope everyone is ok.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago

Hard to watch. Those people are brave as hell. Need more like them, a lot, lot more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Why has no one taken to nabbing their fascist fratboi hats like trophies? Not that it'll do much but I'm sure that some of them are wearing their favorite hat while committing these crimes.

I believe Trump is deploying ICE agents in premium real estate locations. Of course they are sprinked throughout but think about it. He floated the idea with Gaza to until everyone reacted to his AI video.
