During the agents’ violent attack on a delivery worker Saturday morning in DC, bystanders repeatedly demanded the agents share their badge numbers. One of them—his face fully obscured by a black balaklava—eventually shot back, “Do I have to answer to you?”
“You guys are ruining this country. You know that, right?” one bystander said to the agents at one point during the incident. An agent, ironically clad in a rainbow face mask, replied “Liberals already ruined it.”

Last week on stage at the Netroots conference in New Orleans, I spoke with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (D-IL) about ICE: specifically that she believes it should be abolished. It’s a stance that’s considered far left, but after witnessing ICE and other federal agents in DC this week, abolishing ICE should be the baseline Democratic position.
“ICE is a terrorist organization,” Ramirez told me. “It needs to be defunded and needs to be abolished.”

Dude is right but for the wrong reasons. LIberalism serves and reinforces hegemony. Liberalism pushes the overton window so far to the right that fascism seems moderate.
Liberalism <—> Fascism.
These guys are total pussies. Either shoot them or unmask them. They are already on camera so swarm them and pull down a few masks. Once you ID a few of them publicly, the rest will drop like flies.
And lose your jobs, your homes, and your freedom in the process as you get prosecuted for assaulting federal agents where the authorities have an incentive to make an example out of you to deter future incidents.
I’m not expecting the world to change from holding hands and singing hymns, but insulting people (who already started confronting them instead of just pretending not to see) for not sacrificing more than I’d have to seems rather narrow-minded to me.
Could turn facial recognition back on them…
Bigotry and lack of decency ruined the country but it was already ruined it was built on blood repe and kidnapping and forced labor
Well that’s one thing we agree on
He must have left his fedora at home.
What’s the symbolism of a fedora?
Juvenile. Pissed off that someone might hold them accountable. Not much these people hate more than oversight and someone getting in the way of their violence.
How dare liberals encourage education and renewable energy! And infrastructure and foreign trade! And civil liberties and reasonable prices!
This country is going to need a new level of cult deprogramming to get anywhere. I won’t see it in my lifetime.
Maybe this time we hang all of the confederates and not let any live so this shit doesnt happen again?
Agreed. As seen with my nation and Germany, the Confederates and Nazis went on to raise Klanners and Stormfronters. ICE should be trialed and executed as a class, else they will escape the justice that they deserve. It isn’t kind, but necessary.
They chose to embrace evil, and should die because of the sins they have earned.
Apparently, the Nuremberg trials executed less than 210 Nazis. Considering how many Jews and other peoples have been slaughtered, that is a bullshit result. Trial by individual isn’t sufficient for institutionalized war crimes.
Absolutely. There is a movie about a housekeeper during the holocaust who hid Jews in the basement of the commander’s house she worked in. When he eventually found out, she bargained with him, said she would be his mistress if he would say nothing and let them live.
After the war, when the dust settled, the commander was turned away by his wife and children for sheltering the Jews, and it was the Jews themselves he had allowed to live who took him in.
There were many people living everyday lives that had drank the coolaid and saw the extermination of the Jews as absolutely necessary and considered anyone who disagreed a traitor. Those people went on to raise children and teach them that sick way of thinking.
What’s that movie called?
Honestly, it sucks that execution of ICE as a class has to be considered: it isn’t unlike the cruelty they inflict on people who didn’t deserve to be abused nor killed.
That is where the distinction lies: deservedness.
Advocating for almost the same thing is icky. I cannot be said to be innocent, for supporting this method to end the madness. 😞
The difference comes down to who makes up the class. What criteria is used. In this case it is personal choices that landed them on it, so I really don’t see anything morally wrong here.
ICE is becoming a paramilitary organization, Trump’s personal army. It isn’t really fulfilling its supposed role for which it was created in the first place.
It absolutely is fulfilling the role it was created for. It’s just not fulfilling the role that it was stated to be created for.
Critics have been saying that about the ICE for over 2 decades. It’s a force that doesn’t adhere to congress but instead only the president, it operates without oversight or courts issuing their warrants. It’s literally the modern Gestapo.
ICE has a bigger budget than the entire Russian military.
Send ICE to Ukraine; we can get two birds stoned at once.
Omg! I say we can get 2 birds stoned at once 😂😂 I didnt think anyone else did. Day made.
I think most of them would just fight for Putin.
Right!? It was supposed to be a paramilitary organization that harassed, assaulted, disappeared, and murdered people crossing the border. SMH truly lost their way…
Liberals surprised Pikachu face when the agency created during the bush administration is fascist.
At least he was funny.
ICE is a terrorist organization, but if they aren’t going to abolish it then we need to abolish ICE members. One by one by one.
ICE is something far worse than that. They’re the fucking Gestapo.
Wow that sounds familiar, where have I heard language like that before?
Every republican since Bush 2?
And Tankies
The republican traitor filth must be brought low.

Don’t even need to do that, their websites with recruitment information has such poor security that leaks happen all the time. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 2/3 of the Oath Keepers are former military and/or law enforcement officers. The leak obtained by DDOSecrets included membership ID, membership type, name, physical and email address, and join date.

The database leak included such granular detail that economists have been able to study their firm-like behaviours, including running discount codes for memberships and promises of pre-order welcome packages that are never fulfilled.

And then you Thoughts and Prayers their asses.
It’s time to flood the internet with trash, not the current set, but millions of fake people across the social sphere, with low hanging information, a giant honey pot.
What is that agents name and badge number?
what does that agent’s face look like?
338 Lapua.
Abolishing paramilitaries in all forms should be a baseline Democratic position. It ain’t the 1770s anymore.
I really don’t understand how cons think liberals “ruined” anything. This country could be very great if the cons would stop trying to make everyone’s lives miserable by constantly poking their nose where it doesn’t belong.
“Things would be better if it weren’t for [group], they’re the problem, not the rich.” It’s a lie as old as civilization and conservatives always fall for it.
The problem always has been and always will be the lazy rich that don’t want to work.
