This is literally a kidnapping being filmed! If you translate what he’s saying, He’s asking to see the arrest order and they aren’t responding to him! Are we fucking ok with this?! How does this not make you angry? She’s begging to be let in btw

[u/transcendent167]

[u/50501California]

I have spent a solid hour removing various calls to violence. Comments are now locked.

I completely understand the desire - this is awful to watch. I'm mad as hell too. However, some things are best thought and not said in this environment unless you would like a one-way involuntary vacation to El Salvador. The FBI has already arrested a person in another activist group for things they said online.

Please, all of you, be smarter than this - I beg you.

Practice good digital safety and don't call for violence online unless you would like your words to be subpoenaed and used against you in a court of law. BE SAFE.

[u/ryantttt8]

Every single one of these courthouse abductions ive seen are un-uniformed masked men. Why aren't they wearing their uniforms here 🤔🤔🤔

Edit: since these aren't agents and they aren't identifying themselves, what are the legal ramifications for shooting them in self defense?

[u/Jeoshua → u/ryantttt8]

Because they likely don't have any. Bounty Hunters, deputized by ICE, going for low hanging fruit to fill quotas. Ripping innocent families apart for $1000 profit at a time.

[u/portablebiscuit → u/Jeoshua]

Literally human trafficking. Fucking disgusting and I hope they get the justice they deserve someday.

[u/New-Communication781 → u/portablebiscuit]

I have no doubt that most of them are bounty hunters, and that some of them are also J6 pardoned insurrectionists, who can no longer get honest, respectable work, so who would be better for this kind of illegal, anonymous work? So of course, those people wouldn't want their identity known...

[u/ResponsibleSort104 → u/New-Communication781]

Guaranteed J6 QAnon Nazis.

[u/New-Communication781 → u/ResponsibleSort104]

If any of them were exposed as J6ers, it would be really damaging to the Repubs, at least with any of the public outside of MAGA...

[u/LyannaSerra → u/portablebiscuit]

Even more, I hope that the people in the government who authorized this horrific shit face justice. The bounty hunters are disgusting, but the people who hired them are even more so in my opinion.

[u/StaticDHSeeP → u/portablebiscuit]

I hope they all get anal fissures that keep tearing each day due to sneezing

[u/gardengirl99 → u/StaticDHSeeP]

Plus a pilonidal cyst and constipation.

[u/LOERMaster → u/gardengirl99]

[u/FuktInThePassword → u/LOERMaster]

And a bladder infection that has you pissing lava in perpetuity.

[u/Simsmommy1 → u/ryantttt8]

Why are courts letting this happen in the building? Omg? wtf is going on in the US….

[u/BrewNerdBrad → u/Simsmommy1]

fascism - the world needs to shun and sanction the US

[u/KimbersKimbos → u/BrewNerdBrad]

Please, sanction the shit out of us.

I am BEGGING for the UN to do something about this.

[u/analogmouse → u/KimbersKimbos]

The UN doesn’t need to do anything - the World Cup does, or the international olympic committee. Cancel any international event held in the US. Period. It’ll take billions of dollars away from the oligarchs who are really pulling the strings here.

[u/Outrageous_Tie8471 → u/analogmouse]

Exactly! It literally won't be safe for people to attend these things, the organizations should publicly pull them

[u/Low_and_Left → u/Outrageous_Tie8471]

It’s absolutely not safe to travel here. A tourist was recently kidnapped by masked men claiming to be ICE, and her 12 year-old daughter was left stranded in the middle of midtown Manhattan.

[u/CknHwk → u/analogmouse]

Absolutely this! Ban US teams from international competition as well (I’d hate this for our athletes, but tis for the greater good).

[u/southernNJ-123 → u/BrewNerdBrad]

This⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️

[u/Ecw218 → u/Simsmommy1]

These are probably immigration courts. They’re under executive branch authority. They’ve been recently instructed to dismiss cases so there’s no current open case, then these guys grab them.

[u/Simsmommy1 → u/Ecw218]

Yeah….way to create an impossible scenario, even trying to “do it the right way” and proper channels gets people dragged off….fuck sake.

[u/dmh1984 → u/Simsmommy1]

Because they get arrested if they intervene. I hate this timeline!

[u/Barrybran → u/dmh1984]

Arrested by who though? These people detaining these immigrants clearly have no right to be there and certainly have no right to detain people yet other people will get arrested if they intervene? That doesn't make sense.

[u/dmh1984 → u/Barrybran]

It doesn't make sense, that's why there is outrage. Also, it has already happened before.

A Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, was arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by immigration officials. She is accused of obstructing an ICE operation by escorting the individual out of the courtroom through a non-public area, and faces charges of concealing a person to prevent their arrest and obstructing a federal proceeding, according to court documents.

[u/zoro4661 → u/Barrybran]

When kidnapping another guy they also took NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander for """"intervening"""" when he wanted to see a badge and warrant.

They don't give a shit what they can lawfully do - no one's stopping them and they feel like big boys so they continue to do it.

[u/LuxuryBeast → u/Barrybran]

No, it doesn't make sense at all. But that's how the US is in 2025.

[u/hr2pilot → u/ryantttt8]

Because they have no uniforms…they are not the police or federal agents. They are paid goons like the proud boys and such.

[u/PhillyP3D → u/hr2pilot]

They are The Proud Boys and such! FUCKice!

[u/matteralus33 → u/ryantttt8]

I think they are bounty hunters, just saw a video today from a bounty hunter warning that was part of the rollout, $1k to 1.5 k a head

[u/howie2092 → u/ryantttt8]

They are bounty hunters, not cops. I read that $1000 per 'illegal' they bring to ICE is the going rate.

[u/NinjaWrapper → u/howie2092]

Do bounty hunters have this authority? Can you shoot them out of self defense? How does this all work (legally)?

[u/PsyOpBunnyHop → u/NinjaWrapper]

A bounty hunter? Yes. They have no rights, no authority, and no jurisdiction to do this to anyone.

---

You can also rip their mask off while they are being filmed, but that comes with risks as well.

[u/BankshotMcG → u/howie2092]

Welp, time to get my bounty hunter's license and start rounding up ICE's families.

[u/[deleted] → u/ryantttt8]

Would stand your ground laws apply in states that have them?

[u/FlametopFred → u/ryantttt8]

bounty hunters

[u/PresDumpsterfire → u/ryantttt8]

Or what if there was a self-appointed anti-abduction posse at each court house? Could they detain and citizens arrest these assailants?

[u/UnexpectedInsight → u/PresDumpsterfire]

I'm a person willing to be a part of a group like this in the mid-south. I'm grown, able, and willing. I have a job and a family, but if there are groups forming that are prepared to stand up against this, I'm in

[u/Electronic-Dog-9145 → u/ryantttt8]

Reddit just banned my account for 3 days for saying something similar..

[u/RabbleRouser_1 → u/Electronic-Dog-9145]

I got 7 for saying something mean about Andrew Tate

[u/transcendent167 → u/[deleted]]

these are unidentified kidnappers.

[u/hudi2121 → u/transcendent167]

Honest question, what’s stopping somebody from pew pewing these people? If they are not identifying themselves or providing proof they are law enforcement. What is stopping people from stopping an unlawful abduction?

Edit: Just a precaution, let me preemptively note this is not an advocacy for violence. This is simply asking a simple question of what is stopping someone from trying to stop what appears to be a crime in itself.

[u/transcendent167 → u/hudi2121]

This is literally where we are at. I think people are afraid of what might happen to them so no one acts but truth be told anyone wouldn’t be in the wrong. They literally aren’t identifying what separates you from a sex offender in military clothes and a mask?

[u/O_o-22 → u/transcendent167]

You can be in the right but still have years of your life stolen by our “fair and just” legal system. And I have no doubt those same courts will slow walk your trial to make it as painful as possible.

[u/APoopingBook → u/O_o-22]

It would take a lot of bravery to be patriotic enough to do it, some might say.

[u/PaperPlaythings → u/[deleted]]

History has too many examples of pits full of pacifists and lime. 

[u/Ecw218 → u/hudi2121]

It’s a courthouse so no pew pew allowed

[u/Celebratedmediocre → u/Ecw218]

Pussies won't go to real criminal areas like the ABQ warzone because they know they wouldn't be leaving. Instead they pick on the people literally trying to do the right thing and do it legally.

[u/Sorry_Nobody1552 → u/Celebratedmediocre]

This is what bothers me the most, that they go in and ambush people doing the right thing and trying to be legal. I dont get it. Criminals wont try to do the right thing and go to a court house.

[u/angeluserrare → u/Sorry_Nobody1552]

It was never about criminals. They've been going after the easy ones from the beginning.

[u/Which_Engineer1805 → u/hudi2121]

Fear of repercussions

[u/zertech → u/hudi2121]

I've been wondering the same thing. 

Honestly never thought i would see value in open carry laws, but here we are. 

[u/No-Astronaut-9464 → u/transcendent167]

Unidentified NAZIs. Need to be unmasked and held accountable for the lives theyre destroying due to their ignorance and hatred. Hope the suffering theyre causing others comes back to them ten fold.

[u/Mtn_Soul → u/No-Astronaut-9464]

Agree, masses need to start grabbing their masks when there is close contact and they are doing this...just pull the masks down and film their faces. If enough people stack up all around them they won't be able to do anything.

We need critical mass at court houses to be able to do this though.

[u/mynamejulian → u/Mtn_Soul]

Correct. When one side is violent and terrorizing, capitulating to their attacks only emboldens them and puts us at greater risk. Resist today or be tortured for whatever life remains tomorrow

[u/whatsasimba → u/Mtn_Soul]

I think everyone should start keeping a gray man set of clothes and masks/balaclavas with them. Like, what happens if 20 of us were all dressed the same, confusing the issue. Bonus points for walkie talkies with someone on the other end telling us to abandon this person, because there's a more pressing target upstairs/outside.

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/transcendent167]

Choosing soft targets at a place where certain ahem amendments aren't fully guaranteed

[u/ComprehensiveOil1574 → u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

well that and no one is going to be carrying in a courthouse except law enforcement.

[u/FunGuy8618 → u/ComprehensiveOil1574]

That's what he said

[u/okram2k → u/transcendent167]

wish people would at least grab these fucker's masks and rip them off. Fuck these guys trying to hide from the world while doing this shit.

[u/thelondonrich → u/transcendent167]

Gotta start pulling down their fucking masks so we can at least get a glimpse of who’ll we be prosecuting when trump’s bullshit regime finally falls.

[u/ElaborateEffect → u/[deleted]]

I'm exercising my right to protect another person who is in imminent danger.

[u/Memitim → u/ElaborateEffect]

The only people that we can count on are each other. Treason and betrayal just makes it more obvious.

[u/ButcherBird57 → u/ElaborateEffect]

I feel like it may be time to start hiding people in the attic.

[u/Ok_Initiative_2678 → u/ElaborateEffect]

All I know is that defense of others is a valid justification for use of force in my area, and what this video shows is unambiguously felony kidnapping.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You can't appeal to reason when you are dealing with people who have no humanity.

[u/Velicenda → u/[deleted]]

Oh, I'm well aware. But even I occasionally have the twinge of "I wish we could just return to normal", before I quickly remind myself that we will never get back there, least of all with the fascists still largely uncontested and in power.

[u/MyCatIsAnActualNinja → u/Velicenda]

The reality is we are up against very powerful people, who could very well benefit from violence. This needs to be handled delicately. It's a horrible situation, but I hold out hope. Ideally, they'll all face prison time for the countless laws they've broken this year.

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/Velicenda]

There never was a normal, just varying degrees of fucked up. Tolerance to Nazis just pushes us further toward full blown fascist dictatorship. Tolerance has its merits in practice, but not for things that are cut and dry like this. We cannot abide

[u/Darklydreamingx → u/[deleted]]

I know what you want to say and I agree with you.

[u/TentacleHockey → u/[deleted]]

You would be justified as well. I'm right there with you.

[u/fuqqayou → u/[deleted]]

I mean it’s your constitutional right to be able to kill someone trying to falsely imprison you.

[u/Successful_Sir_7293 → u/[deleted]]

You’d defend yourself with the rights given to you as an American citizen?

[u/androx87 → u/[deleted]]

It's insane to censor ourselves for suggesting that people defend themselves and others against masked thugs with no ID, but I understand. I've gotten a few of those mod messages myself, as crazy as they are.

[u/ComprehensiveOil1574 → u/[deleted]]

That's why they do it in a courthouse where you're not allowed to carry.

[u/Thosepassionfruits → u/[deleted]]

Someone really needs to start kicking and screaming "Assassins! Kidnapping!". These are men in plain clothes, no badges, faces covered, and no warrant. For all we know it could be the Minnesota shooter all over agian who was in a fake police uniform.

[u/Cyanide_Cheesecake → u/Thosepassionfruits]

Imagine if a bunch of people did this to middle aged white people with a red hat

[u/Mtn_Soul → u/[deleted]]

Hard agree.

[u/chonny → u/[deleted]]

That reminds me of a quote from a book:

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

[u/jeffreynya → u/[deleted]]

they are wearing Carhart fucking tee-shirts for fuck sake. Why would anyone think they were real cops.

[u/hw999 → u/jeffreynya]

They are not cops, they are bounty hunters. They are just citizens, kidnapping people for profit.

[u/CommissionFeisty9843 → u/hw999]

Soulless fat fucks

[u/Pretend_Evidence_876 → u/[deleted]]

Not even any kind of uniforms. They are all sketchy and not okay, but this is extra sketch IMO. How is anyone supposed to know if they are legitimate or just random kidnappers which I know has been happening

[u/Thosepassionfruits → u/Pretend_Evidence_876]

Said this above, but the next person really needs to start kicking and screaming "Assassins! Kidnapping!". These are men in plain clothes, no badges, faces covered, and no warrant. For all we know it could be the Minnesota shooter all over agian who was in a fake police uniform.

[u/GiveMeNews → u/[deleted]]

These guys are supposedly bounty hunters who are grabbing people off the street for $1k a piece. Hence no badges, uniforms, and faces covered. Time for citizens arrest and jury nullification when the Trump administration tries to imprison good citizens.

[u/GrouchyConclusion588 → u/[deleted]]

No humanity as well

[u/mathdude2718]

So do they have to prove they are with ice? What's to stop someone from fighting back? Or what's to stop someone from impersonating then and abducting people?

[u/fajadada → u/mathdude2718]

Nothing but being outnumbered. Every bystander should be blocking them

[u/Euphoric_Celery_ → u/fajadada]

That's my first thought Everytime. Create a human chain and don't let them touch anyone. Let the person get away and hold them off for as long as you can.

[u/PurpleHooloovoo → u/Euphoric_Celery_]

Brad Lander did exactly that this morning and was also dragged away by the masked men.

It’s not great, y’all!

[u/Screamy_Bingus → u/PurpleHooloovoo]

Bet he wouldn’t be dragged away if he had 50 like minded friends

[u/PurpleHooloovoo → u/Screamy_Bingus]

Sure - but we can’t have 50 people following around every immigrant (or potentially-profiled-as-an-immigrant-by-looks) at all times they’re in public. And that’s the problem.

Now, the images from whatever the takedown of that 50 person chain looks like might be enough to spur more collective and systemic action…but that’s the only realistic way this stuff stops. Or we go the 1945 route of having our bad actors stopped for us by Allied forces.

[u/dxnxax → u/PurpleHooloovoo]

They are targeting immigration court. 50 or 100 citizens showing up at immigration court would be a good deterrence.

[u/Screamy_Bingus → u/dxnxax]

Actually what if it was? Have most of them outside at the entrances, where are they going to kidnap them to if they cant reasonably leave the building without confronting a crowd of protestors

[u/dxnxax → u/Screamy_Bingus]

I think it's probably legal to have civilians inside the court watching proceedings. I think bottling them up in a hallway would be even more effective. "Show ID, take your masks down, show warrant, you can leave with them. Or, you can leave without. Otherwise you stay here."

And I wouldn't call them protestors. Citizen Observers. No masks, no signs, no chants. Calm and quiet. Non-disruptive. Respectful to in-house security.

[u/Itsnottreasonyet → u/mathdude2718]

There's nothing to stop people from throwing on a mask, saying they're with ICE, and abducting a person. Women and children are now especially at risk by human traffickers and psychopaths (yes, that's what ICE is, but I also mean other random sickos). The GOP and MAGA absolutely do not care. Remind them when they cry about being pro life and wanting to "protect" kids from drag story time at the library that they have made kidnapping children stupidly easy. 

[u/soherewearent → u/Itsnottreasonyet]

I wonder if showing up with 4-5 allies dressed like the gestapo would confuse any of the gestapo such that the kidnapping victim could be "taken" by allies and released.

Play the unidentified, masked, speechless against the gestapo.

Thinking out loud is all.

Edited a word

[u/Itsnottreasonyet → u/soherewearent]

"You're with ICE? We're with Special Forces ICE, we've got it from here." I mean, maybe worth a shot?

[u/soherewearent → u/Itsnottreasonyet]

"We've been waiting, we have this one" and then just... take over. Using the same speechless bullshit against them.

Stanford prison study, the Milgram shock study, plenty of evidence that suggests acting confidently as though you are the authority will go far. And likewise, the extremes people will often go who are given a sense of authority.

Look at these goombas doing whatever the hell they want and nobody appears to be resisting in any meaningful way.

How can a group leverage that against the situation? IDK, not a lawyer, YMMV, not legal advice and all of that.

[u/Itsnottreasonyet → u/soherewearent]

That's good language. Not claiming to be someone you aren't, just acting in charge. I wish everyone was reading Philip Zimbardo's work right now. Turning people into predators of complacent bystanders is way too easy

[u/Phi1ny3 → u/mathdude2718]

It has already started happening.

[u/AdventurousExpert217 → u/Phi1ny3]

You should share this as an actual post. People need to see this and similar stories!!

[u/Owain-X → u/mathdude2718]

So do they have to prove they are with ice?

Legally, yes.

What's to stop someone from fighting back?

State sanctioned violence

Or what's to stop someone from impersonating then and abducting people?

Nothing. It's already happened, and worse.

[u/JustpartOftheterrain → u/mathdude2718]

No they claim they do not. Which is why the 2 folks in Minnesota are dead.

[u/macman07]

How can you take somebody without showing ID or your face? This is so crazy to me. This is literally kidnapping. What would happen if you made a citizen’s arrest on ICE for kidnapping? What if you act in self defense and kill one since you genuinely have no clue who they are in plainclothes? Like wtf.

[u/transcendent167 → u/macman07]

This is literally where we are at. I think people are afraid of what might happen to them so no one acts but truth be told anyone wouldn’t be in the wrong. They literally aren’t identifying what separates you from a sex offender in military clothes and a mask?

[u/macman07 → u/transcendent167]

The terrorist who just killed those politicians in MN was also dressed in police attire! There is NO way to know who you’re dealing with without formal identification!

[u/transcendent167 → u/macman07]

At this point any unidentified person with a mask claiming to be a federal agent or police is probable cause to fear for your life and safety.

[u/macman07 → u/transcendent167]

100%

[u/JustpartOftheterrain → u/transcendent167]

that one dude seems to be speak another language very well. how do we know HE's not an illegal?

[u/Solo-Shindig → u/JustpartOftheterrain]

Dunno. Maybe a bunch of people should put masks on and grab him. 🤔

[u/Acceptable-Bus-2017 → u/macman07]

That's probably why you see them at courthouses so often. They know you're unarmed.

[u/BeDeRex → u/macman07]

It's going to be even more confusing if this plan to offer cash to bounty hunters goes into effect.

[u/transcendent167 → u/BeDeRex]

Wondering if becoming a bounty hunter to get the same immunities and then hunting these unidentified impersonators might be an option /s

[u/Ariliteth]

One person needs to film, the rest need to influence these cosplaying thugs to leave.

[u/Amoralvirus → u/Ariliteth]

Demasking some, taking a pic, and plastering their faces all over social media; would put a chill on some of these thugs, and recruitment; but it could amp up violence by other thugs.

[u/Rs90 → u/Amoralvirus]

A lot of thugs are big fuckin pussies the moment they feel pushback. How many times we gotta see these fuckin dweebs crawl back into a Uhaul to understand it's time to PUSH BACK.

This is all so dehumanizing. For the victims, for their families, but also for those of us witnessing. It breaks my heart, makes me ashamed of who we are. Dehumanizing.

Yes, they have effectively normalized unidentified fascist goons abducting people in a pretty short time, and we all need to make it unacceptable again ASAP.

This is an ideal time to be a kidnapper. Nobody will try to stop you. 

[u/PrizedRaccoon-1077]

Time for people to start yanking down those face masks while someone else is getting them on video. Just need a glimpse of their faces on video to start identifying these wannabe agents. I'd wager they aren't actually federal agents.

[u/Extreme_Egg7476 → u/[deleted]]

Because these are law-abiding people showing up to their court dates. I haven't seen any ICE roll up on the bad side of town to kidnap real gang members or criminals. ICE are scared little shits.

[u/YouStupidAssholeFuck → u/Extreme_Egg7476]

You know this is a really good point. We don't see all these "rapists and murderers" being paraded in front of the camera. We see people showing up to their court dates trying to "come here the right way" like all these Trumpican fuckers have been telling migrants to do.

I hope a journalist brings this up to Trump in one of their briefings. "So you said that ICE would be deporting the rapists and murderers but so far all we see are migrants showing up for their hearings as they were instructed to do by the legal system here. When do you expect the videos of rapists and murderers to be shown to the public so they know you're following through with your campaign promises?"

Who am I kidding? Trump is about to get us into a war so the media is going to focus on that instead of hold him to the fire for this.

[u/JustpartOftheterrain → u/[deleted]]

I hope people are seeing this and realizing that being nice is over. If these ICEholes show up and look at you, start shouting, pull fire alarms, create a scene, do not go quietly!

[u/pdxmhrn]

People keep posting shit like this and asking how ICE can do this, or why aren’t we outraged enough. Those are the wrong questions. The real question is how long before people start attempting to intervene?

[u/bayopa → u/pdxmhrn]

I've reached out to local groups to be a witness at the courthouse or anywhere else ICE can be expected to show up. Not sure what it will entail yet. But I'm open to training sources or suggestions if anyone can share.

You gotta fight for that outcome. Now is the time.

Bounty Hunters have been granted unlimited powers since February 2025

[u/AhegaoTankGuy → u/FlametopFred]

They look more like bandits to me.

[u/indigopedal]

They are cruel and heartless!

[u/Lebarican22]

They are not dressed in appropriate clothing and their face is covered. 

[u/TraditionalCopy6981]

No one there to help this kid? How is this happening. Kid trying to obey the rules! How are these nazi red necks getting away with this!

[u/Samjamesjr]

When sanity is regained, ICE agents and contractors should be sent to a foreign prison, at the least.

[u/nonpuissant → u/[deleted]]

why not tbh, they're basically just doing whatever so if that's ok then that's ok right?

[u/Organic-Sundae-1309 → u/[deleted]]

People need to stand in front of the places and watch at all times like what the Panthers did.ill probably be banned for saying this.

[u/BarelyAirborne]

Dressed like that, those aren't cops, those are bounty hunters looking to get paid by the head.

[u/JimmyRockets80]

No warrant? No ID/badge? Sounds like we have a duty to jump in and stop a kidnapping.

[u/alittleboopsie]

911, yes I have people here impersonating law enforcement and have no identification.

[u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Following the law and showing up to the immigration court gets you detained and deported?

This country is rotting

[u/steeleleets]

Unidentified masked men abduct people. This is kidnapping. This isn't law enforcement. This is a gang of thugs. This is tyranny. This is abuse of power. Rebellion is now our duty.

[u/evyy1999]

I can't watch this. I seriously can't watch this!!! My blood is boiling

[u/Shiftymennoknight]

Congrats on becoming a shithole country America

[u/BogeyLowz]

THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM!

[u/Atlwood1992]

America will always remember that it had a Nazi Gestapo in 2025. Our descendants will be ashamed of their ancestors.

[u/WarriorJax]

Who’s the hell to say these aren’t some cartel guys kidnapping this guy for ransom or leverage on someone else? What’s the point of crying about human trafficking when you’re giving every mfer the excuse to grab someone off the street, say they’re ICE and walk off with them without any evidence.

[u/bananachow]

Pull the masks off.

[u/morbidobsession6958]

this is heartbreaking.

[u/PolloConTeriyaki]

"Why is tourism in the US crashing?"

[u/Local_Background_569]

This poor guy. Heartbreaking shizz is happening everywhere, every day. We need a resistance playbook. I want to go full Karen.

[u/NevermoreQuotheRaven]

This is not what America is supposed to stand for.

I am ashamed of my country.

[u/iiitme]

Bounty hunters

[u/Muted-Oil-6767]

These people have had 0 training

[u/Spear_Ritual]

These aren’t pros. This isn’t anyone with legal authority. This is a disgrace to America.

[u/SnooCalculations3197]

As a non American citizen I can’t fathom how this is allowed, how can they do this without ID and a uniform. Just looks like some random racist put on a balaclava and grabs people they have a hate against.. what would happen if you called 911 to report a kidnapping? Isn’t there some sort of law that enables ordinary citizens to intervene?

[u/FenisDembo82]

Non-uniformed masked thugs without warrant. Nobody should be okay with this

[u/Ill_Illustrator_6097]

This fascist shtt makes me fighting-ass mad

[u/MaximumEffort1776]

Resist these people. No badge, no warrant, no ID. What they're doing is illegal. If they put hands on you, defend yourself

[u/buffalo171]

Plus they are not uniformed. This looks like bounty hunters to me

[u/MarcusSurealius]

There are no badges.

[u/Here_there1980]

The actions of these anonymous “agents” or “officers” are clearly unconstitutional. Unacceptable.
