This just looks like a recipe for disaster LMAO 🀣

I don't understand why more Americans just don't dress up like ICE and do whatever they want ...

  • rob a bank
  • local courthouse and help out someone being actually processed by ICE
  • upset your local parish for no reason
  • raid a school and let the kids out early for fun
  • upset and panic a Republican political event
  • local supermarket and grab some free coffee
  • raid a library and take a book without signing it out
  • get your daily groceries at the grocery store and don't pay for anything
  • go into a bar and scare everyone ... then take all the money and booze you want
  • go into a car dealership and steal a brand new car

... like ... no one is bothering to check who ICE is and they are not identifying themselves.

All they have is body armour, masks and firearms ... anyone can do that ... which means, anyone can do whatever they want.

Dress up as ICE with the homies and detain ICE agents in your basement, or just a hole dug into the ground.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 79 points 1 week ago (3 children)

lol ... that would actually be hilarious

Get a bunch of guys and cosplay as ICE agents and join their raids and gatherings and confuse the hell out of them.

Imagine 20 no name, non identifiable ICE agents raiding a place, then coming out of the building to 100 ICE agents that look like them mingling in with their group. The cosplayers just play along, making orders, taking orders, following, arguing, screaming, shouting, pushing and just causing general mayhem.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 63 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe it should be a thing we do at protests. If everyone looks like ICE, how will the pigs know who to beat up and arrest? πŸ€”

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 56 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a good idea because ICE agents are not identifying themselves .... so they would have a hard time arguing that anyone is impersonating an officer or agent.

I'm sure they would bend and break the rules over it anyway ... but what choice do you end up with? .. don't do anything and they put you in danger .. or dress up like them and you're still in danger anyway but at least you're doing something.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine a group of fake ICE agents all pretending to fight each other?! What the hell response would that inspire? 🀣

Springtime for ICE Agents

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

IDK how but I want to get the idea that antifa is dressing up as ICE agents into the conservative consciousness

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's literally the Underground Railroad. People hid slaves, even in northern states because it was legal to capture slaves there and drag them back, despite slavery itself being illegal in those states. So people hid slaves and helped them get to Canada, where they could tell slave catchers to fuck off and go home. Our country has some dark historical truths...

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Similarly, it was also really common for free Black people to be kidnapped in northern states and enslaved.

Solomon Northrop, if you have seen Twelve Years a Slave (and everyone needs to, we need to make it part of every high schoolAmerican history class), might have been captured again. Wiki gives the only reason that this is unlikely that he was probably too old at that point to be worth it. His kidnappers faced no consequences.

I wonder how many people saved up to buy their freedom β€œlegally” and were taken back. There are so many stories we’ll never know.

raid a library and take a book without signing it out

Calm down there, Satan.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think they are. There's many just disappearing with nothing from the gov. It's a human trafficking field day out there. No American is safe and everyone should remain armed and ready to defend themselves in public.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's the other thing I find unusual ... why no one is doing anything to just threaten and shoot ICE agents ... it's a legal free for all right now

Someone attacks your home, they don't identify themselves, refuse to identify themselves and kidnap and detain people .. why aren't people just standing up to them with guns that are supposed to be everywhere in the US?

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The lack of violent opposition to ICE is how you know that none of their targets are actually gang members.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

It's a no win situation ... just like WWII

If you eliminate all decent people from the population and remove their influence ... all you'll end up with is psychopaths and violent people ... who will all end up destroying everything for everyone

Mostly because decent people aren't psychopaths or sociopaths. All those people already got recruited.

It is funny that you can buy an ice jacket on Amazon... I've considered getting one to conspicuously leave in my car, just in case

People should try protesting ICE while dressed as ICE. All masked, of course.

If the Nazi cunts are allowed to do it, then anyone should be able to dress however the fuck they want.

You can't be charged for imitating an ICE agent if not even ICE agents provide ID, or can prove who they are.

All wearing ICE uniforms but with an N written in front.

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago

Uniform? They all look like they raided the RealTree section of the local Walmart

Has anyone noticed that the ICE goons dress like the terrorists from counterstrike?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (6 children)

There’s gotta be some sort of secret code word you have to know,…..no never mind. So far this administration are far too dumb to have even considered this possibility.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Unless they have some special system where the key changes just repeating everything they say throughout the crowd would solve it anyway.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 21 points 1 week ago (8 children)

These people are all coworkers in career LEO positions.

You think one group of 20 dudes have Kevlar vests and their sidearms at home and just pitch up at a court house like it's a shift at a Denny's? These people have desks and a locker room somewhere where they see each other without masks. They know each other well before the masks go on.

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I’ve heard stories of two police departments confusing each other and literally get in a fighting match, so it might not be that far fetched

(Undercover drug buyers meeting undercover drug sellers … hilarity ensues)

The codes are given through Signal App.

The secret code? Just tell them a racist joke and a give them a wink and you should be fine

Does ice know? Just say you're with another agency

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Its not like these people just start their day off from home. This isn't some 9-5 office job.

They go to an office and park their cars (probably trucks) in the same lot, they kit up in a locker room and spend an hour shooting the shit with all their bros, and then talk about who is wearing what subtle things so they can tell Jenkins from Thompson at a distance. They know each other. They hang out at each other's houses on the weekends. Their kids play together. They know who is supposed to be there that day. They have a game plan as to who does what. They chit chat about music and guns and the weather and cars and TV shows quietly in the downtime.

These people are not you. They can tell when someone else just shows up. They are organized when required, idiosyncratic about key details when needed, and hierarchical. An outsider only gets a pass when a CO tells them the outsider is OK.

Given that they're in masks and civilian clothing when they kidnap people, there apparently is no official "ICE uniform". Would be interesting to see them attempt to charge somebody with "impersonating a federal officer" when they're just dressed in normal street clothes.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With all this open encouragement of beating up or murdering ICE agents, I think dressing up so you're generally perceived as an ICE agent is a dumb idea at this time.

I love the idea but I feel like you'd have trouble convincing anyone you were the good guys.

You don't need to convince anyone but the escorted. And even then you could arrange something with them before the immigration hearing.
