Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

MODERATORS
This is exactly what they've been setting up, a masked, ID-less, military force that kidnaps people off the street and takes them to a variety of facilities that not even Congresspeople are being let into. No accountability, no oversight, there is likely a lot more abuse than we will ever know.
It is also directed at people who are already oppressed and excluded from power structures socially and legally. The big news murders were typical white people, for every one of them there are ten or more marginalized people.
Yeah we almost made some progress after Pretti and Good were murdered. But our representatives have run out of steam since then.
Reps don't really care they're who created and funded ICE in the first place.
Its been a serious problem for a very long time. I think the way they are constantly dehumanizing detainees is a major factor.

I mean, they're cops. Y'know? A pig abusing women and children? News flash: fork discovered in kitchen.
I think they are cop shaped bastards, but are technically a paramilitary of the executive branch
Is that not true of other police forces too?
Other police forces (though excessively militarized) are not lead by and loyal to the executive branch, nor are they funded through special means.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that US government structure has all police technically under the purview of the executive branch. It's what allows the big boys to put in those mandatory reviews or 'agreements' with cities that are actively fucked up, right?
Life in prison for them. No leniency.
Is this supposed to be a surprise? Several of them have murdered people on camera.
In May 2026, a federal employee who conducted background checks for Department of Homeland Security agents during the Twin Cities ICE crackdown was sentenced for solicitation of prostitution involving a minor.
"We hired this fox to guard the henhouse. I know what you're thinking but based on his own report, he's doing an outstanding job."
Favorite hobby of law enforcement.
Heyheyhey, what they do to their families in the privacy of their own homes is nobody's business!
It's more than dozens
Did they hire drag queens? I was told only they abuse women and children.
I'm confused.....are these ICE and CBP agents trans? I was told that the trans people were the problem. /s
