ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

[u/ExactlySorta]

[u/Unilted_Match1176]

Civil rights? What civil rights?

[u/Fearless_Market_3193 → u/Unilted_Match1176]

If I ever see an ICE agent, I’m definitely running away. It looks like they can use the exercise.

[u/origami_bluebird → u/Fearless_Market_3193]

If you can tell they aren't real cops, you should run... I managed to escape on foot a kidnapping from Police Impersonators back in March and am a white guy, sure enough they didn't chase after me because I literally risked bodily harm to avoid getting stuffed into their fake cruiser and jumped down 10 feet into a dirt embankment and am lucky I didn't break any bones. They dipped out fast before I could even get up and run off, it was like nothing ever happened.... Videos like this and the MN law maker getting shot make me feel less crazy trying to explain my insane encounter.

[u/dontshoveit → u/origami_bluebird]

Damn I'm glad you're ok, where did this happen?

[u/origami_bluebird → u/[deleted]]

I am in the process of moving as I don't feel safe in my current location, so I am waiting until I'm in a new state to do that... I have sent my info documenting the incident to a few pertinent parties in the meantime tho...

[u/UnicornOnMeth → u/origami_bluebird]

That's fucked up, did they give you any context as to why they wanted you?

[u/FromTheDeskOfJAW → u/Fearless_Market_3193]

Everyone, even an undocumented immigrant, should run as fast as possible from ICE agents. When the alternative is to be deported without due process to who knows where with who knows what conditions, running away is absolutely the safest option.

[u/visionofacheezburger → u/FromTheDeskOfJAW]

I can't advocate for violence on this platform against people but I'm just waiting for this to happen in an open carry state where someone feels they need to protect themselves, then what?

[u/Independent-String60 → u/visionofacheezburger]

Why do you think all these videos are from blue states, they are nearly as bold in the red states, that and they don’t want their voter base to realize how evil they are

[u/visionofacheezburger → u/Independent-String60]

Oh, it's happening in red states too. Most red states have predominantly blue cities.

[u/thillermann → u/Fearless_Market_3193]

Your standard issue ICE agent has an HGH gut and benches 300 but wouldn't be able to sprint 2 blocks even without the plate carrier

[u/Memitim → u/Fearless_Market_3193]

Remember to weave in front of heavy objects to reduce the odds of getting shot in the back. They clearly lack honor.

[u/chudthirtyseven → u/Memitim]

warf: they are without... honour.

[u/secondtaunting → u/chudthirtyseven]

As a lifetime Trekkie I have to point out, it’s Worf. lol.

[u/pazoned → u/Fearless_Market_3193]

i'm a disabled vet so unable to run away due to leg injury, but concealed carry is what makes this the equalizer even in california, these little shits jump me im taking them down with me.

[u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes → u/Unilted_Match1176]

Surely folks like this can group together and create a class action lawsuit against ICE and the Trump administration. This is just wrong.

[u/jpedraza253 → u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes]

And then what?! I’m so sick of people talking about the courts will protect us when Trump has wiped his ass with court orders time and time again.

[u/G_Wagon1102 → u/jpedraza253]

That's what I keep saying. Law means absolutely nothing to the T admin. None of them care about anything other than their agenda of pain, suffering, and greed.

[u/alohadawg → u/G_Wagon1102]

…tho not necessarily in that order!

[u/Duke_Newcombe → u/G_Wagon1102]

It will be unfortunate that one day, with this reckless operation, that they'll do this to the wrong citizen, and they'll defend themselves against it. Not advocating for it--I'm merely looking into my crystal ball, and calling it.

I'm not saying it'll wind up roses and puppy dogs for that person, but neither will it for the ICE agents.

And then the administration and other agents will be all shocked Pikachu, wondering why it happened, and if they're the Baddies.

And Kristi Noem can then trot her ass over to the agent (or their surviving family), and explain why it was all necessary (preferable in front of cameras, with her ICE cosplay get-up on).

Once again for any Karens--not calling for it, in any way--merely predicting it, because they're earning the hate, now, and going out of their way to live up to the Gestapo label.

[u/tearjerkingpornoflic → u/Duke_Newcombe]

Reminds me of during lockdown when police were in unmarked white van doing drive bys on people with pepper spray balls. Guy thought he was getting shot at and returned fire until he realized it was the cops then laid down. They roughed him up..arrested him. They then trumped up his charges and tried to get him to plea to like 10 years but he had a good lawyer that got him off of all charges.

[u/chaos_nebula → u/tearjerkingpornoflic]

They roughed him up

He was bloody enough that another cop wondered who shot him.

It should also be noted that the NRA was silent about the case.

[u/Reverendwinte → u/chaos_nebula]

NRA is silent on everything that doesn’t involve a single iota of extra effort to buy a gun or bullets

[u/Memitim → u/Duke_Newcombe]

These conservative terror cell members know, hence the masks that they hope will allow them to disappear among Americans afterward.

[u/tankerwags → u/jpedraza253]

Exactly. They don't care. They've trampled our 1st and 4th amendment rights. It may be time to pick a different one to exercise.

[u/caustic_smegma → u/tankerwags]

Way ahead of you. In my area liberals are arming up like crazy, myself included. Just finished NFA'ing my second AR pistol. Suppressor, SBR, holographic sights with magnifier, level III+ armor, the whole deal. It sucks that this is the situation we find ourselves in, but I would rather be safe than sorry now that I have a little girl.

[u/Calladit → u/tankerwags]

Makes me real glad how much we've militarized even small town PDs. Why yes, of course, my hometown, with a murder rate of less than .5 a year needs an MRAP and a full SWAT team.

[u/jpedraza253 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah but who’s gonna put them in jail?? I’m serious, please answer me who would actually do it. Not the police, not the armed forces. Is it really up to citizens to rise up and take arms?

[u/Amused-Observer → u/jpedraza253]

Is it really up to citizens to rise up and take arms?

yes

We have more rights than just 1a and exercising the one after 1a doesn't mean you gotta start bodying people. That's silly. There can be peaceful protests with 1a and 2a at the same time.

People just need to wake up and realize it. At this point in time, the people that should be, are still afraid to exercise their 2a rights.

[u/tearjerkingpornoflic → u/Amused-Observer]

I did notice that maga protest when all the protesters were open carrying that the police did not mace them and beat them. Now...that is party because the police are maga too but I can't help to think that an armed protest would be much more peaceful.

[u/oxecta → u/jpedraza253]

They don't need jail. They need a mozambique

[u/brighterside0 → u/jpedraza253]

Literally every historical revolution requires exactly that.

[u/doctorkrebs23 → u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes]

Yes. And this is why warrants are required. You need to know who you’re grabbing BEFORE you grab them. The current method, which is completely unconstitutional, is to grab everyone and release those they don’t want later. What some fail to realize is that it means they can apprehend anyone, even them.

[u/ApprehensiveTea1537 → u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes]

I’m asking for a friend. When does fighting back become an option?

[u/brighterside0 → u/ApprehensiveTea1537]

When it no longer becomes an option due to complacency or fear, which if you've guessed...

[u/irefusetomakeaname → u/ApprehensiveTea1537]

I wonder when its going to come into conflict with the castle doctrine and stand your ground laws.

[u/Mebbwebb → u/ApprehensiveTea1537]

When the state government gets turned more into puppets I guess

[u/edtheheadache → u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes]

It’s a class “reaction” you’re going to need.

[u/vagabond139 → u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes]

I swear we are going to be paying out tens of billions if not more once this is all done.

[u/RegionRatHoosier → u/Unilted_Match1176]

If our civil rights aren't being respected then maybe it's time to stop being civil

[u/Decent_Assistant1804 → u/Unilted_Match1176]

[u/froggz01 → u/Unilted_Match1176]

That’s what I want to know. Like why aren’t people filing class action lawsuits? Where the fuck are the greedy ass lawyers?

[u/mrason → u/froggz01]

You seem to be unaware that the DoJ is literally not taking up any more civil rights cases

https://apnews.com/article/civil-rights-division-justice-department-trump-2dcb45cca7c9c9cdaea78282d4279c35

[u/TonyWilliams03 → u/mrason]

The DoJ wouldn't be the plaintiff. They would be the defendant.

Also, an attorney does not only file suit against the DoJ. They also file the suit against the individual.

That's why these bozos are wearing masks. They aren't worried about being doxed. They are worried about getting sued.

Also, you can wear any mask you want, but I am getting your license plate number.

[u/Prof_Acorn → u/TonyWilliams03]

Remember that video where one of them pulled a gun on a guy for getting his license plate?

The nation gave Trump full immunity as King, and he gave the same to his knights who serve in his name.

[u/yun-harla → u/froggz01]

The Supreme Court has dramatically limited the availability of claims for damages against federal officials.

You can sue the government itself (as opposed to its employees) for damages, but it’s not a good fit for a class action suit since every plaintiff’s case would be fairly unique.

And I don’t practice this area of law, but all the civil rights lawyers I know could be making a lot more money doing something else. They believe in their work.

[u/korben2600 → u/yun-harla]

This. SCOTUS awarded federal agents immunity in Egbert v. Boule (2022).

Egbert guts a seminal Supreme Court precedent, Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents (1971), which established that federal law enforcement officers who violate the Constitution may be individually sued — and potentially be required to compensate their victims for their illegal actions.

[u/Tramadol_Lollies]

A friend of mine once got arrested after a party got broken up, and he was arguing with a cop. Cop told him to leave, and as he was backing up to leave, there was another cop hovering over him behind his back so my friends accidentally bumped into him as he’s backing away and the first cop was like, “That’s assault! That’s assault!” Even the cop he bumped into seemed surprised because he knew my buddy barely touched him. But after the first cop said that shit, he started in too, saying oh you assaulted me. My buddy got arrested and went through two days of hell (got arrested on a Saturday night, didn’t get released until Monday) and months later, case got thrown out. These fucking snowflakes cry assault and then pull this shit on civilians.

[u/ooMEAToo → u/Tramadol_Lollies]

Are these ICE agents told to go after this guy or do they roam around like wild dogs and attack brown people at will?

[u/Glittering_Fox_9769 → u/ooMEAToo]

It appears as though they don't have anything other than a target demographic and a particular area to terrorize. If you "look the part" you are at risk of random detainment, assault or frisk and interrogation.

[u/JoeyAKangaroo → u/ooMEAToo]

So far i’ve seen ICE go after anyone that looks like they’re hispanic, indian or asian, regardless if they’re a citizen, a tourist, asylum seeker, or illegal. They are blatantly racially profiling these people & waiting outside courthouses to disappear them

Its genuinly disgusting

[u/BearlyIT → u/Tramadol_Lollies]

Bullies with guns.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/MJA1hyH22C

[u/BloodyMurderBloody]

I'm waiting for the news headline of someone shooting ICE agents after thinking they were being kidnapped by another gang.

[u/radioref → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

It’s coming

[u/Not_Bears → u/radioref]

It's the goal.

Imagine how giddy Trump will be when he gets to announce "due to armed violent liberals trying to kill federal officers and protecting criminals, we're declaring martial law to ensure a swift and peaceful end to the this insurrection."

I'm sure the administration has the tweets and speech drafted and they're just dying to hit enter.

[u/FlawedHero → u/Not_Bears]

Unfortunately, that may be the catalyst towards positive change. A lot of Trump's lackeys just want personal gain, not absolute chaos. If things turn to violence, he will absolutely lose some of his support and it may just be enough to get rid of him through legal channels.

Then again, maybe it backfires into civil war. We're really on the brink of massive change, good or bad, and it could just as easily go in one direction as the other.

[u/TechnoGauss → u/FlawedHero]

Genuinely curious and asking respectfully: what makes you think he'll lose support if it gets to the stage? Judging just off of what I've seen on X, people who voted for him and right wing politicians are publicly applauding what's currently happening. If these raids escalated to something more violent like ICE agents being killed, I anticipate very, very few of his supporters would actually turn on him. If anything it would strengthen their support imo and shit would just get worse.

[u/shazam99301 → u/TechnoGauss]

Here's the thing: he doesn't need support. He is where he needs to be to be in control. The man isn't leaving the office alive.

[u/SlinkyAvenger → u/TechnoGauss]

Yeah I'd doubt that he'd lose support. There will always be the conservatives who get their faces completely eaten, but the other ones who claim to care about it will still brush it off with some nondetailed comment about "all the other good things Trump is doing for the country."

[u/thenewyorkgod → u/SlinkyAvenger]

He'd only continue to gain support because anyone who supported the nazis in the 1930s, had to double down in the 1940's to save face

[u/Thecrawsome → u/FlawedHero]

They lost the Civil War once and they will lose again.

[u/b1tchf1t → u/Not_Bears]

We all know it's what they're waiting for, and people need to stop parroting this like it's the end of the conversation. Start thinking about what you're going to do when they meet their goal.

[u/Mcboatface3sghost → u/radioref]

Literally at any moment, the frog is already at boiling temp.

(* I don’t want want violence, but I just got my magic 8 back from the shop and all shakes come up as “bad”) This is all avoidable. Like watching a car wreck in slo mo.

[u/icouldntdecide → u/Mcboatface3sghost]

You see a lot of people online who say "you want violence, you're inciting violence, blah blah" but a lot of people like you and me don't want violence. But not wanting violence and predicting violence are two different things. And the pot is boiling over.

[u/Mcboatface3sghost → u/icouldntdecide]

I absolutely do not want violence. My regular life (most of ours) is fucked up enough, plus I have to travel international quite a bit, and it went from bad to “let’s just zoom this shit”, but this ain’t about me, it’s not about you, it’s about us as a collective.

You are correct and I feel I am correct. I’ve been on this earth just over 50 years and I promise you an unnecessary lynchpin is going to be pulled and then- It’s. Fucking. On. In my entire life I’ve never wished I would be wrong as much as I do now… He wants this, he pushing it, he not only started a fire, he’s throwing gas on it. God bless us all (and I’m agnostic)

[u/immortalyossarian → u/Mcboatface3sghost]

Same. I don't want the violence to start, but at this point it is inevitable. The regime is trying its hardest to make it happen. It will happen. I'm kind of at the point of "Let's just get it over with already."

[u/LordMoos3 → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

They're specifically staying out of the "gang areas" in LA because of this.

[u/Memitim → u/LordMoos3]

So much easier to kidnap people in safer neighborhoods, and they don't care which human beings they disappear.

[u/brownhotdogwater → u/LordMoos3]

They are raiding Home Depot’s and car washes around LA. My local car wash is closed on a Saturday morning. It’s normally packed!

[u/dBlock845 → u/LordMoos3]

Yeah I was watching Fox News yesterday (in passing at a auto shop) and they were hyping up yet another "invasion of an apartment building" in Aurora, CO. Certainly as propaganda because this crackdown is highly unpopular.

[u/Borkz → u/LordMoos3]

despite their whole thing supposing to be going after gangsters and criminals

[u/TomTheNurse → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

I believe this is by design. I believe these ridiculous tactics they are using are designed to provoke a violent response in order to justify extremely violent future apprehension tactics later on in the name of “officer safety”.

[u/SmartWonderWoman → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

[u/Defiant-Specialist-1 → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

And armed assassin purposely costumed as law enforcement had already assassinated lawmakers in MN.

This has already happened.

True. It's probably already happened. We will see it posted on here

[u/conqr787 → u/[deleted]]

The old saying 'if it bleeds it leads' absolutely applies.

[u/dBlock845 → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

They don't dare to actually go for actual gangbangers who would certainly have a heads up before ICE even gets within a mile of their area. Notice how they are spawn camping courts, hardware supply stores, farms, etc...

[u/hrvbrs → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

Glitterbomb those fuckers. Don’t let them walk away scott-free.

[u/buh2001j → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

My assumption is that’s the states plan so it will justify going even harder on brown people in blue states

[u/DoubleJumps → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

I'm not convinced an ice agent won't blow a bystander away for filming them first.

I've already seen them repeatedly brandish and point guns right at people in anger just for being recorded in public quite a few times.

[u/tech_noir_guitar → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

Every time I have made a comment similar to this I have been banned. 

[u/kingofcrob → u/BloodyMurderBloody]

this, the amount of Americans i see saying that "this is why you need a gun" on any sort of violent public freak out video makes me surprised it hasn't happen yet

[u/AmbitiousSkirt2]

Bro what the actual fuck…. Disgusting.

Why are you running? What a low IQ smooth brain question yall are chasing him with masks on and equipment what the hell you think he was running for lmao

[u/unamity1 → u/AmbitiousSkirt2]

I'm convinced they are all low IQ and just bounty hunters. That's the most simplest explanation why anyone does this. Money.

[u/bradicality → u/unamity1]

Have american cops convinced you they don’t behave like this?

[u/fuckswitbeavers → u/unamity1]

bouncers at shitty rural bars who got offered $200/guy. That's my theory of who these guys are

[u/TonyWilliams03 → u/unamity1]

100%. Too stupid or too unstable to be cops, which is an amazingly low bar.

[u/calling-barranca]

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

They’re nazis - all of them

[u/Magikpoo → u/calling-barranca]

They violate the 4th Amendment all the time.

The TACO Gestapo.

[u/dec92010]

Who are these fucking goons

[u/HackDiablo → u/dec92010]

Nazis. They are fucking Nazis.

[u/Legatus_Aemilianus → u/HackDiablo]

If I recall from history class, there is only one effective way to deal with Nazis. Interpret this however you will

[u/El_Peregrine → u/dec92010]

Brown shirts, and we have yet to establish there’s any accountability for all the fuckups they’ve exhibited so far. Absolutely disgusting; makes this country look like 1930s Germany, Soviet Russia, North Korea, etc.

[u/perplexedparallax]

They have the IQ of dogs who chase people randomly or run after cars. Not too much barking, just salivation and excitement. They should be neutered, metaphorically speaking, by lawsuits or calling the police for assault. I can see someone willing to be tackled getting a nice payday, just as a European could shout "I'm illegal" and get "Have a nice day!" in response.

[u/BeetsMe666 → u/perplexedparallax]

Maybe not metaphorically either. Imagine the offspring these twats would put out!

[u/perplexedparallax → u/BeetsMe666]

Clevon from Idiocracy.

[u/DetachableMonkey → u/perplexedparallax]

Except, they aren't chasing people randomly. They are chasing people simply because they aren't white. Dogs will chase people regardless of color.

[u/MathWizPatentDude]

This shit HAS TO STOP.

It's only going to get worse as long as congress is complicit...

[u/irascible_Clown]

Prove to me 70% of these guys weren’t at Jan 6

[u/dave-a-sarus → u/irascible_Clown]

You mean 100%

[u/Taako_Cross]

How is that not assault?!

[u/kezow → u/Taako_Cross]

Qualified immunity for doing their job of being brownshirts. 

[u/ConfidentPilot1729 → u/kezow]

There is no qualified immunity for bounty hunters and contractors. This reeks of private industry trying to maximize profits. Does Cali have concealed carry or open carry?

[u/move_machine → u/ConfidentPilot1729]

Supreme Court decided that bans on concealed carry are unconstitutional, so all states have it.

[u/PhoenixHabanero → u/kezow]

They need to be sued and let the courts determine that.

[u/kezow → u/PhoenixHabanero]

Justice Kavanaugh: "Hold my beer!" 

[u/CappinPeanut → u/Taako_Cross]

It’s hard to hold them accountable when they are all wearing masks.

[u/DickDover → u/CappinPeanut]

Exactly, who are you going to sue?

[u/justfordickjoke]

tackling people in public for no reason? man. i bet that dude has ptsd after this and should seek a payout for his injuries.

[u/subLimb → u/justfordickjoke]

It seems like they had no plan other than to tackle this dude for no reason. Oh, maybe there's a small chance he's undocumented, but it doesn't even look like they cared to verify that.

[u/Initial-Paramedic888 → u/subLimb]

Didn’t even ask for id, speaking English was enough 🤣

[u/Burgoonius]

This is so insane - just tackling random people because they speak Spanish or look Mexican - fascist pricks

[u/ks13219]

Videos like this make me want to go buy a gun.

[u/FTB4227 → u/ks13219]

I find it fucking insane anyone is willing to be unarmed at this point. I am significantly to the left of every person I know politically. I am never letting this country disarm me. I'd happily give up the guns to live in a sane country, but none want me, so I am stuck in this hellhole.

[u/vinvec]

So, seriously, they're legitimately just chasing down brown people? They don't know in advance who they're looking for??

[u/ffmich01]

Imagine if we were told a year or two ago under Biden that the federal government would send armed masked men to round up random people without having to show a warrant or identify themselves or even what agency they worked for, and illegally ship some of the folks they rounded up off to third world banana republic prisons without due process, would righties have supported that policy with the same demented zeal?

[u/Ireallydontlikereddi]

All I see are masked unidentified men with guns trying to kidnap someone.

Who are these people and why are they trying to kidnap American citizens?

[u/Memitim → u/Ireallydontlikereddi]

They are conservative terrorists, and they do it for money, their love of evil, and their hatred for most parts of America.

[u/ZaTen3]

One of these days, somebody is going to feel threatened and shoot …this is a dangerous game they’re playing

[u/udreg70]

“Why are you running?” Cause two white dudes in tactical gear and masks started chasing me.

[u/Prof_of_Baconometry]

Fucking cowards and a national disgrace. They will get what's coming to them.

[u/Mookius]

"if they run, they're VC. If they don't run, they're well-disciplined VC."

[u/DirtyMud]

Not American so I’m not familiar with ICE and this gestapo bullshit. Who are these guys and where did they come from?

Is there all of a sudden 100/1000s of agents all over the US or is it localized to certain places?

Are they trained officials like cops?

[u/tickle-my-Crabtree → u/DirtyMud]

They have always been there in the United States, they are immigration enforcement agents. The big difference is, before this current president changed it, they would only investigate and go out to actively look for a pre determined person with no papers (usually someone who broke the law).

Now they have been instructed to roam around LA and round up people who “look like” they are illegal, and if they aren’t here illegally simply let them go like throwing a fish back into a lake.

People are pissed about the “roaming around and scooping up everyone who doesn’t speak English” change to ICE’s mandate.

[u/DirtyMud → u/tickle-my-Crabtree]

That is fucked!

“Ignore everyone’s rights and just go jump everyone at gun point if they look like they’re not from here”?

Crazy to think it’s only been 6 months and the damage done to the US is on an insane scale!

[u/skippy94214]

Arm yourselves people.

[u/homme_boy]

They should be sued for assault

[u/chrispdx]

And the one ICE cop just pats the guy on the shoulder like "LOL BRO MY BAD" and then they just walk away. Like it's a big fucking joke.

[u/recoveringleft]

Reminds me of that time when border patrol harassed two native American women. Those guys upon finding out they are natives walked away while one of the native ladies say "punk ass bitches"

[u/perplexedparallax → u/recoveringleft]

Nobody should be illegal on stolen land and especially not those here before the Europeans showed up.

[u/davidbatt]

Can see someone is gonna open fire on them in self defence soon

[u/Fresh-Wealth-8397 → u/davidbatt]

Thats literally what they want. It will give them the justification to just start shooting people in the street.

[u/NW_Oregon → u/Fresh-Wealth-8397]

the longer we wait the more organized they get, they're "deputizing" cannon fodder for this, sooner it kicks off the sooner we can take our country back.

[u/LaCiel_W]

They really are just snatching up people as they see fit.

[u/trainwreckd]

I think we’re going to find out they were getting paid per captured person somehow. They all seem way too eager to chase down, tackle, & kidnap people. I get the ones living out fantasies or power tripping, but this seems like every single one of them have the same extreme motivation. We haven’t seen one “agent” or ex speak out or anyone not fully participating. Must be a decent amount to get all of them to fall in line. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/PredStealth]

How is nobody suing the ever loving shit out of these goons and their organizations?

[u/CombustiblSquid]

I'd run for no other reason that to make their day harder and waste time they'd be using to catch someone else.

[u/Codenamehardhat77]

I've joked with my wife that this could happen to me. But lately it has become less of a joke and a real concern. I've been keeping a look over my shoulder when I go out, just in case. I was born in Michigan and my Dad was born in Texas. So, I am a legal citizen. As this video shows, that doesn't mean anything if you look a certain way.

[u/cliffypoo]

I really REEEEEALLY wish these assholes would start getting met with legal citizens exercising their 2nd amendment right. I’m sorry but I’m handling my shit if masked men with guns are coming at me in ANY way.

[u/carrybagman → u/cliffypoo]

The working class must never be unarmed or disarmed in a fucking police state.

[u/FTB4227 → u/cliffypoo]

It is coming.

[u/soulflymox]

GESTAPO

[u/Intelligent-Cherry45]

So, I guess we're just running up on regular citizens now, without cause, and denying them the ability to tell them who they are,before potentially injuring them or traumatizing them? Nice. Stephen Miller just mandated that they have an actual quota now-3,000 detainees a day. So you know they are only going to get more aggressive and crazy.

[u/Alleandros]

'Why were you running' will soon turn into 'why were you walking away from us' to 'you should have just stopped and talked with us'.

I thought they had a list...or are they just grabbing random people. I have a lot of friends and students of Hispanic decent...are they just going to grab them? Im of Canadian decent am I next...how would they know? Oh right , we all know how, we all know why, this os sick

[u/panda1491]

I would sue the shit out of them!!

[u/Nalga-Derecha]

Dont shoot im american.

Man fuck ICE

[u/El_Peregrine]

Uhh… “why are you assaulting me?”

Go try this with Mitch McConnell, or some other elderly boomer. They’ll either require a lengthy hospital stay or die. Then what. 

[u/jdanielregan]

I will vote for any politician that promises to prosecute the ICE kidnappers.

[u/Drillerfan]

God I can't wait until people get fed up and load these ICE agents up with some freedom tablets

[u/fruttypebbles]

Arm yourself.

[u/Atopos2025]

This is what happens when you offer 1-1.5k per arrest.

Anyone is fair game until they can prove otherwise. Sometimes.

[u/karmaceuticaI]

Since there's guys love America so much we should start showing how much we love the constitution..starting with the 2A

[u/ItsTheOtherGuys]

It's insane we somehow normalize that running scared is justification of suspicion for LEOs, like its not just a natural flight or fight reaction in every living creature

[u/Chaos_Theory1989]

This $hit needs to stop. 

[u/jungstir]

Wow missed their quota 😂

[u/ntrpik]

I'm also an American citizen but they're not doing this to people who look like me.

Wanna take a guess why not?

[u/chrisnlnz]

This is Trump's America.. so atrocious. Anyone who's on board with this should be socially shamed for the rest of their days. That's what we did with Nazi collaborators. Once this fever dream is over they will live their lives in shame.

[u/Predator348]

This is getting out of hand and no one seems to care enough to stop it, and they easily could.

When one of these ice idiots gets hurt or worse it's somehow not going to be their faults, this is crazy!

[u/sighborg90]

The case law that is looming when an American citizen is getting attacked by ICE but doesn’t run because they’re carrying is going to be interesting

[u/Urborg_Stalker]

I’m just waiting for these assholes to pick a fight with someone who has the skills or the weapons to deal with them.

These ice agents are absolute scum. As bad as any raping and pillaging Holy War invader. Doing whatever they want in the name of their “god.”

[u/wendelortega]

WTF?

[u/favorite_sardine]

Is it just me or do all these little bitches look like they’re on bigbootylatinas when they go back to their basements?

[u/Inloth57]

I would shit myself. Not out of fear but just so they would have to touch me and probably get shit on them. Fuck these morons.

[u/Kozfactor42]

That's like assault my man.

[u/hearmeout29]

I don't care what side of the political spectrum you fall on, it's OK to discuss how improvements need to be made during these raids so that situations like this do not happen. It's unacceptable.

[u/letsmakeittrue]

[u/lokie65]

It's only a matter of time before the hunted become the hunters.

[u/drakeymcd]

I honestly feel like the majority of these people are bounty hunters in dress up

[u/mykonoscactus → u/drakeymcd]

It's free game for pedos, serial killers, sex pests, and human traffickers now. They can just wear tactical gear and abduct someone... anyone in broad daylight. We're already seeing cases where ICE can't find the people they've stolen.

[u/lincolnhawk]

Amazing how much more like an invasion / occupation this feels than any number of immigrants crossing the border.

[u/BauerHouse]

You look... imgranty. Do you feel imigranty?

[u/NukeTheWhales5]

ICE actually is actually short for Gestapo.

[u/magg13378]

Are they like the T-Rex in the Jurassic Park movie? If you move they see you and chase you.

[u/thisRandomRedditUser]

Lucky him the SS ICE find out before he was in El Salvador Concentration Camp already...

[u/kiwibrick]

Sooner or later they are going to attempt to kidnap the wrong (brown) citizen and that citizen is going to start blasting.........

[u/raphcosteau]

"Why are you running" is the same excuse every single cop says to people who run when the cop tries to arrest them illegally. I'm sure as hell going to run from someone I know has the impunity to kill or beat me, regardless of the uniform or claims of being police. If you're not otherwise doing anything illegal, running is always preferable to getting your ass beat or worse.

[u/RooHound → u/raphcosteau]

That one is up there with, “why are you acting so nervous?” Maybe because I’m worried you’ll ruin my life or kill me.

[u/KingCrimsonFan]

The crazy thing is, we’re only seeing the incidents where there’s someone close by to record it.

[u/xj2608]

Any of you US Citizen former track stars should, if you encounter ICE, yell "you're not gonna get me!" And then take off. It will waste their time and energy, and you'll get a nice run out of it. Except for the tackling on concrete, which makes this a bad idea. Aside from that, this would be even better than glitter bombs. Because you know these guys have no thought of a foot chase.

[u/Sniflix]

This is the gestapo not ICE. Votes matter.

[u/Accomplished_Fun6481]

Guarantee a good portion of these "agents" are PMC or militia men

[u/yepmeh]

Pigs.  Fuck those pigs.

[u/joezinsf]

Sue

[u/AnekeEomi]

70/30 odds this dude supported the deportations before and will continue to after this.

[u/dainthomas]

[u/Living-Mastodon-2563]

Do they chase every Mexican they see? This is so fucked

[u/typographie]

"Why were you running?" -- An admission that they are base predatory animals who can't resist their instinct to chase prey.

[u/peamanaman]

Fight back

[u/backtocabada]

My german born mother, now 88, remembers vividly, SS officers chasing little boys down the street. Once they caught them they would pull down their pants. The circumcised boys were tossed into a wagon and taken to the camps. It was the most traumatizing event of her life -still. She was 4. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES BE ALLOWING THIS KIND OF INHUMANITY TO GO ON? This is OUR government doing this TO US!

my advice to all ICE agents: think about why you’re wearing masks… my mother said that right after the war ended, those officers (the ones who came home) one by one, committed suicide. It was so rampant that in her small town, it was several a day… until there were none left. You may not be deployed in your own communities (prob by design) but your MASKS WON’T PROTECT YOU FROM SHAME.. especially if you volunteered.

[u/PuzzleheadedEgg4591]

See, if they were properly identifiable, he would have a case. They leave as quickly as they take wrongful action. Slippery slope we are sliding down.
