They will be coming to your courthouses too. We will have to be organizing citizen barricades to keep them from disappearing our neighbors.
The knock-on effect of this now would discourage undocumented migrants even just trying to engage with the legal system, being a witness or even reporting on crimes. For people on the fringes of a society it could lead to even worse exploitation and marginalization
While we aren’t seeing it now, it will be a matter of time before those marginalized people start packing and start shooting. Especially when they realize it is a fate worse than death or even just death of they comply.
Working as intended
Babe wake up, new gender just dropped
These gestapo need to be doxxed
You misspelled shot.
They don’t need to be mutually exclusive
I think this is one of those pearl clutching instances that won’t take kindly to that kind of language. You need to use the legal system to oppose the corrupt legal system, I guess.
Maybe, but writing mean articles about them isn’t going to stop them, and they have the support of the trump administration. The only that’s going to stop them is if they’re always they might not go home afterwards.
Obviously the next step for them will be gearing up like they’re going into combat, but that really starts making people pay attention to what’s going on
Oh, I fully support shooting nazis and their collaborators dead. I was taking a shot (pun intended) at the moderators who remove comments like “the guys running today’s concentration camps should be shot”
Then I guess these gestapo need to be legally shot, after a legal trial and sentencing to death.
(Stupid fucking mods.)
Having watched the video, that guy provided no evidence that this was anything other than a kidnapping. Shooting him in the face would be 100% self defense
Gotta know where they are before that
Let’s assume for a moment that the abductees here were federal agents.
How long before people get the bright idea that they can pull a stunt like this without being federal agents? Has that already happened?
I suppose the scenario I was really thinking of is one where someone is literally abducted by adults, and not just fucking idiot kids playing fuck around.
Which has happened in the article posted here, we’re just taking them on their word that they’re actually federal agents.
Yeah, this was the part that really got me:
“Show us a warrant,” the video shows one of the two women demanding as they attempt to get between the detainers and the detainee.
“Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duties,” the man in the pink shirt responds. “We are officers from Homeland Security.”
That’s a real bully-logic move right there. How are we supposed to know that these are your lawful duties if you’re refusing to show us your warrant or even your badge? Like, if she had blocked them at this point and the issue were brought to court (and yes, it’s ironic that this is happening in a court), then I can’t imagine a jury saying “well yeah, you can’t prevent a guy from abducting someone just because he won’t give you any indication other than a pinky swear that he has the legal authority to do it.” But, of course, the obvious implication in the moment was that since he was from the “abduct people in an unmarked van with unlimited authority” branch of the government, this wasn’t going to a jury trial, and she was either getting out of the way or she was going in the van too.
I dunno, man. It’s scary.
So what I’m gathering here, is if you can get some friends together, you can get yourself out of court in a pinch.
This is not behavior they want to encourage long term
Trump isn’t thinking in the long term. He’s usually not even thinking in the short term.
He barely developed object permanence, through many flash cards with pictures of burgers on them.
“if we stop testing there won’t be so many positive tests.”
Yeah, I started to write about that, but it’s unclear that this guy would have actually gained anything by getting out of the courtroom. A lot of folks are released pending trial, in which case there’s really no advantage to getting your friends to grab you out of court, rather than just, y’know, skipping town. If he was already in police custody, I imagine there actually would have been more checking of the authority.
But yeah, making court a place where your enemies know you’ll be there and they’re free to come and grab you is a terrible precedent anyway. If you can’t expect due process even in the courts, what does the rule of law even mean anymore?
Pretty sure some people showed up at San Francisco City Hall claiming to be with DOGE and demanding they be given access to personal files.
The staff refused and when they finally called the police the men claiming to be with DOGE fled the scene.
Florida Woman Posed as ICE Agent to Detain Ex-Boyfriend’s Wife: Police https://www.newsweek.com/florida-woman-latrance-battle-ice-agent-detain-ex-boyfriend-wife-2062962
That’s a scary read - if the assailant had cleaned up better and not stopped at an apartment complex, she could have gotten away with murder.
Florida woman
Yeah, that tracks.
So if I say I’m with HS, can I do whatever I like?
Questioning the security of the courthouse if you can just do that
I live here, and I actually called the Sheriff and yelled at her about this. She said these ICE Nazis showed her deputies ID and warrants, and that she couldn’t stop them from entering. She has met with the judges who actually have the power to determine who is allowed entry, asking if they want her office to stop feds in the future. They were still considering it as of yesterday.
Wow you really can’t tell the difference between officials and gangs of criminals these days.
Indeed, kidnapping is one of the things that drug cartels are known for. Now we have people claiming to be federal officers doing kidnapping? There needs to be a LOT of pushback over this, it’s crazy and ridiculous.
Federal agents have been in league with cartels before.

By design. It reminds me of another article posted on Lemmy recently, that “tough on crime” jurisdictions are making it less safe to live in those jurisdictions.
“Is it worth the trouble to go to court?” Reppucci asked. “I think it’s going to make it much harder, inherently harder, and more likely that people will disregard lawfully issued subpoenas, both by the prosecution and by defense attorneys and by civil attorneys and, even perhaps, dare we say, in divorce cases or custody case hearings that people are going to evaluate whether or not it makes sense to follow lawful state orders.”
They’re the same picture.
The police have always just been the biggest gang
What alarmed Nicholas Reppucci, head of the Charlottesville Office of the Public Defender, is that the enforcers called in to detain the two men in the city Tuesday morning were wearing plain clothes and did not display badges or arrest warrants.
Presumably, the courthouse is filled with cops and others with arrest authority, so why did they allow two men in plainclothes without badges or warrants leave with two people?
If the DOGE pirates had been gunned down in the first lobby the invaded, it would have ended there, or at least gone down a different path.
We should not be normalizing this behavior, and setting precedents. Without a badge, you will not be listened to, and you will leave the building immediately. Without a warrant, you will not be putting your hands on any person. If you attempt to bypass either requirement, you will be arrested. And if you attempt to do enforce your demands by force, you will be shot.
Jaw dropping that the US is so far gone some of its citizens are calling for the shooting of people in government buildings. That’s right! You can now live in a country where you are free to fire off rounds at will! Starbucks messed up your mocha latte? Cap off a few rounds and they’ll never make that mistake again!
When they are disappearing people with no due process, the only logical response is violence. Gtfo of here with that dumb shit.
Ladies and gents. Americans. 🤦♂️
I’ve been seeing “Americans are pussies for not rising up” and “you won’t vote yourselves out of this situation” on here for months… Which is it? Make up your fucking mind, internet.
It’s just the normal anti-American sentiment from fringe idiots around the globe. Anything that has to do with America or the people from there are bad, evil, and needs to be shunned and mocked. Don’t give this guy any weight as a popular opinion from the internet.
You are ripping American citizens, born there, off the streets and sending them to die in El Salvador. You defy court orders to return them.
At what point do you just sit down?
If you didn’t notice, I’m of the same opinion on this point! Learn to read, please.
I don’t know which it is. What you see has nothing to do with me.
Ladies and gents. Someone with no critical thinking skills. Dumbass.
Americans thinking they are the chosen lol
It has nothing to do with “chosen” and everything to do with common sense. Wtf would YOU do if a couple of dudes came up to you neighbor, grabbed them and walked off with no explanation or identification? Just shrug, and go about your day? Because that’s what you’re insinuating with this idiotic line of reasoning you’re going down.
Common sense? I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
I think I’m going to have to seriously think about packing heat on regular basis for the exact scenario the 2nd amendment was written to cover.
Not a bad idea, at this point. Just keep it at home, and only have it to defend yourself or others. It is always morally correct to stop a Gestapo agent through any means necessary.
I mean, isn’t this the exact scenario they wrote in the Second Amendment for? Can’t say this reaction is surprising given it’s at the roots of the country and extensively defended by the Founding Fathers
Yes. Guns. Guns are the answer lol
Yeah, to some things they are
Jesus.
If you actually read the second amendment, its whole purpose is to keep the government in check.
Yeah, funny how the boot lickers forget their whole wet dream of being the ones that rise up, means they need to rebel against the tyrant Trump and his dumbshit sycophants.
Don’t you guys have a bunch of coloured people to round up and ship off to some death prison in a third world country?
That’s what we are fighting against, idiot.
Yes. There’s that typical American charm
When you’re acting like an uneducated troglodyte, you will be treated as such. That’s not a uniquely American trait, but you’re welcome to continue wasting air trying to make that statement.
Ok, please don’t shoot me.
perhaps you should actually read what he said there instead of jumping to insane conclusions
I wish they did have the guts to shoot the DOGE team. Especially since the DOGE goons have literally dragged people out and probably physically assaulted others.
On the plus side, if anybody reading this ever has reason to think that they might need to go into a police station and remove someone being held there, apparently if you and a friend or two look sufficiently the part, you can just walk in, in plainclothes, and claim to be Homeland Security, and just… take a dude and leave.
It’s probably the gesta- I mean ICE
Man this is fucked up, At first I was all with the program of getting rid of criminals and deporting them. It’s clear to me they’re just getting people that are here illegally and Deporting them. Yesterday I was talking to the landscapers which I will assume they are illegal immigrants and they were solid guys they just Want a chance at a better life.
You were okay with the program deporting people without trial because they “are criminals”? Are you even listening to yourself?
No I assumed that they would take the legal route of getting rid of illegal immigrants that are criminals I didn’t expect it to be like this. But I still am on board with them getting rid of illegal immigrants that are criminals, They just need to go about it a better way
That thing you wanted was already happening under Biden, and before him. How do I know? They didn’t hire new people. They just gave the signal to the existing hires that they can do what they want. They were able to deport criminals before, and they did. Trump just lied when he said they didn’t. During the campaign he duped millions of people into believing a fake problem to which he is now providing a fake solution: no additional criminals are being deported, not really — they’re just doing things more sloppily, being more cruel about it, and padding the numbers with innocent people.
Ok, “deporting” people to El Salvador instead of their home country. That’s certainly new.
OK but also under the Biden administration the borders were practically open so A lot of criminals were coming in easily so it was like you send one and you get one back
Before illegal immigrants that would cross the border did not want to run into immigration or law-enforcement during the Biden administration they purposely Wanted to be picked up by them.
That’s what I mean about the duping. None of that was happening under Biden. These “open borders” allegations are and have always been nonsense.
Do people try to cross illegally? Yes. How do we know? Because they’re caught while trying to do it and sent back — this one fact should put the “open borders” claims to rest, but that’s if we lived in a sane world. And don’t get me started on all the citizen militias patrolling the border and shooting people for sport, because a lot of the border is in red states where leadership turns a blind eye to these types of vigilantes.
Most undocumented immigrants in the US arrive normally on a visa by plane and then overstay their visa. And while some do that on purpose, a lot of the time the expiration happens accidentally due to things out of their control, like because paperwork takes too long and it’s tied to their employer who isn’t moving their ass fast enough, etc. Some are in the process of correcting their undocumented status or even taking their citizenship test when ICE detains them.
The argument here is something you alluded to in the first comment I replied to: an undocumented immigrant merely existing in the US poses no risk to anyone, so maybe deportation isn’t really a measured response to coming across a person with undocumented status, let alone calling them “illegals” and doing all this verbal shell game between “illegal”, “criminal”, “terrorist”, deliberately confusing “insane asylum” with “asylum seekers” etc.
All that rhetoric is meant do dehumanize and paint large groups of people with the same brush: dangerous, disgusting, inhuman. Then the “open borders” lie implies incompetence and naivete on the part of the previous administration (or even sadism if they did it knowingly). This is how we ended up here, and now they’re doing what they wanted to do in the first place: treat them all the same and continue using the verbal shell game when asked about it, saying stuff like “criminals have no right to due process ^(but we decided without due process who the criminals are)”.
They’ve been on Lemmy for 20 days. This Reddit slop is already becoming exhausting
I made an account at the start of the year before changing to make one not associated with my at all. The redditification of Lemmy had become so much worse even just since I got here.
In B-school this is called “adverse selection.”
At this point I’m hoping they’ll at some point make the mistake of sending some Chinese citizens to El Salvador. Hopefully someone with CCP ties. Now I’m not saying I wish this upon anyone, I’m saying they’re sending people anyway, I just hope they’ll eventually make the mistake of doing it to someone whose government can actually fight back. China could absolutely destroy the US if they wanted to at this point.
Back in my day the trolls put some effort into it.
Yeah keep violent illegal immigrants that kill innocent people in America yay!!! Maybe this will get some upvotes
Or I can shove my cock in your mouth you faggot
So… you’re suggesting obviously homosexual activities while calling someone derogatory slurs?
The lady doth protest too much, methinks
Whatever happened to the Fourth Amendment? If they’re not even bothering to uphold the Constitution in a courthouse you guys are well and truly fucked.
The constitution has not existed since 911. I am not sure why people still believe in it. Even Santa Claus is more plausible to exist.
well that’s a load of shit
Yeah, I don’t think it’s very likely that a mythical jolly man brings presents to kids worldwide
I’m pretty sure Homeland Security was created with the sole intent of subverting the constitution from it’s inception.
https://www.aclu.org/documents/constitution-100-mile-border-zone
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception
The magical 100 mile “Nah constitution don’t really work here” zone that also, crazily enough, includes 2/3 of the population.
Their entire constitution is for sale, upheld not by its own laws, but rather by the current regime. Which happens to be an orange nutjob. So, no constitution for you this term!!
Definitely not the sort of thing a fascist would do. Lefty liberals are Larping
They are months away from creating a reality tv show about the El Salvadorian prison 🤦♂️
Ludicrous.
So three men just kidnapped a dude.
They need to be banned from doing this in plain clothes. At minumim. At best ICE needs to be abolished.
They need to be arrested as attempted kidnappers or shot if they don’t surrender. Then they need to be prosecuted as kidnappers.
Just figure out their names and living places. Once the shit is over, hunt them. All of them. And do whatever you like with them.
At best ICE and DHS officials should be tried in a Nuremberg style court.
Fuck a bunch of cunts
