Washington, D.C. residents are posting “ICE ABDUCTED SOMEONE HERE” signs across the city, accusing agents of targeting vulnerable people — a grassroots campaign that’s igniting outrage from the Trump administration and federal officials.
These smears have led to a 1,000% increase in assaults against our officers — including terrorist threats, vehicle attacks, and bounties on their heads.
They went from like one hundred charges of assault against officers to like two hundred because of Trump deploying ICE to invade communities.
The problem with this is glaring. First of all they constantly lie, so tons of people are erroneously charged with assault and they are literally using military equipment to attack civilians. They are not the good guys by any stretch of imagination.
I saw somewhere (I think it was Some More News, but I’m not sure) that they reached “1000% increase in assaults against ICE” the following way:
Last year, there were 3 minor assaults on ICE thugs reported and this year, thanks in part to the new policy of classifying any reaction to their presence other than worshipful compliance as “assault”, it’s 32.
Even using THOSE methods, it’s still only “assaults” REPORTED. As far as we know, there might be as few as zero of the “assaults” that are ever proven in a court of law, let alone one where the judge isn’t a fascist-appointed hack that’ll automatically side with the American SS.
The story is 10,000 new ICE agents. Sounds like a lot, but even if they actually are making $100K a year (which means an employer cost of roughly $200K each), that’s $2 billion – or a staggering 1% of the $200 billion allocated to ICE in the recent spending bill (with the name so stupid I refuse to ever type it). Even as bad as ICE is, it’s still mostly a boondoggle for stuffing the wallets of trump supporters.
And I’ll bet most of these ICE agents aren’t even making $100K a year. It’s just too obviously a shoestring operation for that to be the case. I suspect a lot of these “ICE agents” are actually undocumented immigrants themselves, given a stark choice between abducting other random Spanish-speaking people or deportation. And paid very little, just like undocumented immigrants everywhere.
From what I heard on social media, ICE is being paid a $1,500 per head they collect. I don’t have any confirmation about that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it were true. What is true, is that many bounty hunters are now with ICE. It is a job that requires a lack of moral fiber, with craptacular results.
I feel like they’re stupid for exaggerating it that much because its hard not to balk at fucking 1000%. Like more people would probably believe it if they had said, even like, 319% or something.
Can you imagine being an assassin and being asked to off ICE? That has to be the cheapest job going. Despite the fact they wear body armour, that’s a pretty easy target to hit because bulletproof vests don’t come in XXXL.
What are they doing, offering two for one offers. Or is it more of a pride thing and they’re trying to work out how many they can take out with a single bullet.
Can you imagine being a citizen that carries a firearm, and seeing these people on the street trying to kidnap someone and not shooting them? I am shocked that this hasn’t happened yet.
Bullshit.

I wish the Democrats were half as cool as Republicans accuse them of being.
lol, right?
That’s a lot of sandwiches…
The GOP always projects what it wants and does.

It’s so disingenuous. Their employment is way up and their interactions with people, both those they are targeting and the general public are way up.
If I were literally any company, if I increased my workforce by over 1000% I’d expect anything happening to them to increase by at least 1000%.

And it just ruins their credibility further.
The core attribute of their supporters is stupidity. They’re not going to lose support because they say stupid shit.
That also means they have data for a base rate. How many brave and patriotic ICE agents are killed on the job every day?
I’ve seen them on TV and I’m pretty sure the leading cause of death must be cardiac arrest.
I wish it would, but you know the blue lines people are clutching their pearls at 1000%

Second Amendment my ass.
Can we crowd fund that?
Serious question: is GNU Taler private enough for crime, like cryptocurrency?
They’re also almost all out of shape with zero military training.
Obviously fake but I wish it wasn’t, 1000% wouldn’t be nearly enough
Any masked, unidentified person attempting to kidnap someone should be shot in the head on sight.
Absolutely
This would only happen in a just society.
