Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.

She gave them an arrest quota of 3,000 a day. Jesus christ

Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 19 minutes ago

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig's Wormtail, whispering poison in his ear. He's hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It's time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.

I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.

[–] Odelay42@lemmy.world 0 points 5 minutes ago

That would bring the military into our communities even quicker. Seems like a very bad idea.

"Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school" is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 16 points 3 hours ago

Hoping no real people were injured.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 19 points 5 hours ago

Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 47 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it's scary as fuck to watch the world's most powerful state turn fascist.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 14 minutes ago

Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I'm terrified.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I was always facist if you weren't white or straight

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

I really hope that's a typo

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 21 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

"That could never happen here!" — Most Americans.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 7 points 2 hours ago

"It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!"

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago

Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn't matter anymore.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 60 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Can't spell bitches without ICE.

I watched most of the video clip. The agents all look kinda perplexed. As if they can’t understand that nearly any species alive will go nuts when you go for their offspring.

Guys, I think ICE agents are aliens.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's a case of psychopathy and the fact that some of these people TRULY don't see black and brown people as people. The dehumanization is truly complete to the point that they really don't understand that they're PEOPLE, with thoughts and feelings.

[–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Psychopaths understand people a lot better than these ice agents. These are garden variety sociopaths at best

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 51 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Are they... illegal aliens?

So, Imma go back to my philosophy 101 argument structure days. Fill in the blank.

Premise 1. Racists should never feel safe being racists. Premise 2. Nobody willingly becomes an ICE agent without being a racist. Conclusion: Therefore, ... ?

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 12 hours ago

ICE should never feel safe, at any time, ever again. Make them NEED marines and NG cover every time they go out for one of their abduction raids.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 121 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Regardless of who caused the accident, they hit and run, right? That's insanely illegal.

“collateral arrests”= unconstitutional and kidnapping.

If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.

I wonder if ICE agents are paid a lot more than those people would be in other jobs having the same qualifications/experience etc, and that’s the reason why they stay on. Or some massive perks or something. Why isn’t there a mass exodus of ICE agents leaving? Or maybe there is and it’s not reported? There must be some attraction?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 hours ago

The perk is rape. Lots of rape. These are unidentified and unaccountable thugs. For your safety, shoot them on sight.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 43 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

I'm pretty much convinced they recruited all these thugs from alt-right groups and disgraced ex-police in the last few months. They don't have uniforms or badges. They wear face masks and refuse to identify themselves. They needed a bunch of guys that had no problem with being cruel and hateful and they were right there ready to step up.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

yea these are most likely the same people who formed their own local militias and jerked off to fantasies of shooting protesters.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

They have to. Where else would so many new ones come from? So many who are so unaware of rights and laws?

When people start shooting these Nazis you'll see the rats leave the sinking ship rapidly.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago

The massive perk is that they get to be cruel bastards and hate for a living.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 20 points 16 hours ago

You only agree to work for ICE if you're a psychopath in the first place.
