Trump's promised ICE raids have begun

Safe-Keeper said:
We're at the step where even white citizens are detained, at gunpoint, by thugs kicking in their doors. The next step, I'm sure, will be to detain white citizens (eta: and minorities, obviously) and not return them. They're just taken away and no one knows where they go. Maybe ICE will even disawov any knowledge of them. The Thomspons? We never sent anyone to that house, must be those ICE impersonators we keep hearing about.

One of the ironworkers I interact with at work is Native American and has been mistaken for Mexican a number of times in the past. He recently told me that he's hoping ICE tries to arrest him, since the resulting lawsuit would leave him and his family set for life.
Not if he just disappears and there's no record that ICE ever had him.
 
From the link in Post #2776:

According to the family, everything started when a couple renting the basement was followed home from the grocery store by ICE agents. Ring footage shows agents detaining the man while the woman ran into the house with her 7-year-old son.

What I don't get is, ICE agents follow a couple with a child home from a grocery store. They detain the man but the woman runs into the house with the young child. Below is a screen grab from the home video. It shows there are at least 7 or 8 agents involved. Why so many for a couple with a child? The agent I circled seems to be brandishing a rifle. For what? This is not the way police normally operate. Below the screen grab is an image of ICE agents wearing face masks. Why? Their explanation is, if they're recognizable they get doxxed online. That sounds like bull. It seems to me a more logical explanation is, to protect the agents from being identified when citizens attempt to make well-founded complaints against them. Like when, instead of insisting a motorist "step out of your vehicle," the way police normally do, ICE agents pull them out through the window (as we see them doing so often).

Because they're a bunch of bloody cowards who know what they're doing is very wrong and are afraid of the righteous anger that would come their way in a just society
 
But Dog-Killer Barbie said they weren't arresting citizens . . .

Edina-born Somali woman arrested in immigration crackdown​



The woman was arrested while running an errand near Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. Her cousin said she was confronted by multiple federal agents, who zip-tied her and brought her to the Sherburne County Jail in Elk River.

He also said the agents mocked her hijab and touched her inappropriately. The woman was released on Thursday after more than 24 hours in custody. She was let go after her husband showed authorities her passport card, proving her citizenship, he said.

The woman was too shaken up to speak publicly, he said.

What they're saying:

"'What could you be hiding under your hijab?’ and stuff like that. And then they even made a joke, saying, ‘This would be the wrong attire to try and run away from us in,’" he said of his cousin’s interaction with federal authorities. "I feel upset. Obviously, it brings me a lot of anxiety and stress because this is my family, and I call Minnesota home."

But it's okay because as the president told us, they are garbage.

Every accusation . . .

First, Edina is a suburb of Minneapolis. Second, there seems to have been no reason for her arrest, other than she was wearing a hijab. When contacted by media, ICE said they couldn't comment.

Yahoo News asked Evangeline Dhawan-Maloney, an immigration attorney who specializes in deportation defense, for her take on this. The attorney was very critical, emphasizing ICE routinely breaks the law.
"First and foremost, ICE doesn’t have jurisdiction over United States citizens. So, for them to detain a U.S. citizen for over 24 hours at a detention facility for no reason is truly terrifying," said Evangeline Dhawan-Maloney. "It’s the kind of thing that we see happening in Third World countries and authoritarian governments." Yahoo News article link

Authoritarian governments, like the one the US currently suffers under, thanks to our having donald j trump in the White House.
 
An Apple app that allowed tracking of ICE activity was taken down after pressure from the trump administration. The developer of ICEBlock filed suit yesterday against the trump admin alleging a free speech violation. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claims the take-down was necessary to prevent ICE agents from being killed. This is a frequent claim, also used to justify the extensive use of face masks by ICE agents. Yet a Mother Jones study shows that:
None of ICE’s agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history. Instead, the leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19. According to ICE’s data, the second leading cause of death is cancer linked to 9/11. (The pandemic and cancers connected to the September 11 terrorist attacks account for 75 percent of the deaths in ICE’s history.)...In its history, two ICE officers have been shot to death by other people, according to ICE’s data. One was Jaime Jorge Zapata, who was killed by cartel members while on assignment in Mexico in 2011. The other was David Wilhelm, an ICE special agent who was killed at home in 2005 while off duty by a Baltimore-born man who had escaped from a Georgia courthouse. Mother Jones article link

And that's why they wear masks?
 
Man threatens to "Call ICE" on yard crew—over the wind blowing some leaves around.

"You're border jumpers and illegal pieces of (crap)!" he screams.

Raises arm in salute yelling, "White Power! America only!"

"You jump our borders illegally and treat our country like (crap)!"

Eligio Carreño was born in the U.S.—he started filming after the man threatened to call ICE and the cops on his crew.

If you've ever been to Byron, and I have, you'd see just how accurately this tracks.

I guess Mother Jones was right to an extent but:

Specific Incidents against ICE Officers in 2025
  • September 2025 (Chicago): An ICE officer was seriously injured during an attempted arrest in Chicago. The officer was dragged by a car but was later reported to be in stable condition.
  • July 2025 (McAllen, Texas): Three officers were injured when a shooter opened fire on a U.S. Border Patrol facility. The suspect was shot and killed by officials.
  • September 2025 (Dallas, Texas): A shooter opened fire on an ICE facility from a nearby rooftop, killing two detainees and wounding another, but no officers were injured in this incident.
  • Various Locations: Other incidents have involved officers being punched, slammed to the ground, or having objects thrown at them, resulting in minor to serious injuries such as dislocated or fractured fingers.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stated there was an "8,000% increase in death threats" against ICE officers and an over 1,150% increase in reported assaults from January to November 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. However, official line-of-duty death records for 2025 have not listed any deaths from an assault or shooting as of late in the year.
 
MAGA man opens app already loaded on his phone to "Call ICE" immediately—over equipment dispute at gym.

"I'm going to call ICE and turn them in," he yells. "You guys will have to find out who is legal and not."

Man was wearing an "Alligator Alcatraz" sweatshirt to work out in.

For the record, the other gym member he's talking to says, "I'm a U.S. citizen."

The incident occurred at a VASA Fitness gym location in Clinton, Utah

According to the comments it's his own fault and he deserved it.

US citizen and veteran detained by ICE: I’m here as a veteran, father, and ordinary person who believes in our country. I respect law enforcement, but I also believe accountability is the foundation for respect. I was arrested and detained by ICE agents.

In the video, Davis is seen raising his middle finger to the agents outside before moving from his place behind the counter and standing at the entrance of the store.

From behind the store's closed door, Davis begins goading the agents lingering outside near the store's front.

"What do you want man, you want some chicken? You ain't getting it here... Go somewhere else, you ain't getting no chicken," Davis taunts.

...


Davis told WWL Louisiana that, at this point, he realized the agent was Gregory Bovino, who is commander of Border Patrol and has been in New Orleans as part of Operation Catahoula Crunch.

"Bye, bye," Davis said facetiously while waving from behind the store's locked door as agents retreated back into their vehicles.

"... It didn’t sound like a legal [reply] or anything official. It was this really weird message like, ‘Don’t bother us with your complaints. You got attention and media from just being associated with us, and so you should be grateful.’ And this is from the homeland legal department!"

Sounds like Dept Homeland Security legal department doesn't have any actual lawyers. <shrug> Must all be DEI hires.
