        In my state, I am supposed to keep my firearm locked away and magazines unfilled. The existence of ICE makes me reluctant to believe in such measures, when the safety of me and my neighbors is in question.

    ICE is a corrupt agency rotten to the core.

    This seems like a lose-lose situation. The vehicle is surrounded by others hitting it. If they get out, the violence will probably escalate, and more will get hurt. If they stay still, the vehicle will continue getting attacked and likely breached: Again, leading to an escalation where more people get hurt. Is there another action they should’ve taken here that wouldn’t have led to more hurt?

    In context, it doesn’t look much better: The person seems to have purposely gotten in the way and broken up the motorcade.

    Critisize the shit they do. This is just no-win noise.

        I don’t think anyone is saying they shouldn’t be treated like the Gestapo, just that this is the expected outcome for ANYONE who would find themselves in that situation (trapped in a vehicle, surrounded by an angry mob).

        I don’t feel bad for the ICE agents, I don’t have sympathy for the ICE agents, but standing in front of any vehicle that is trying to flee from a mob is a bit like continuing to grab a snake that’s trying to slither away.

      They could have released their kidnapping victims and then they would be allowed to leave.
