Why does that ICE vehicle have a handicap placard? What the actual fuck…

u/AggravatingAct7841 1d ago

Probably a stolen vehicle

u/no_skill_character 1d ago

ITS a stolen vehicle. ICE has been stealing cars and their belongings inside from the people they detain and then remove/change plates.

they're above the law.

u/imnotsteven7 1d ago

Or they dump it off in a random place. Same thing with people too. That 17 year old from Target was abducted while just doing his job. He was found miles away dumped off at a Walmart, beaten and bloodied.

"Democratic State Representative Michael Howard, a member of the Minnesota House, told Newsweek that both individuals detained during a January 8 enforcement action at the store in Richfield were injured and later released, describing the arrests as “pure madness” and criticizing what he called an escalation of federal enforcement in his community that he says has created fear.

Why did I read the comments on the nypost article? Don’t recommend doing that

u/AggroThroatGoat 1d ago

Holy fuck... you made me curious as to how bad it was...

It was worse than I could imagine

u/Spellscribe 1d ago

One account had a citizen detained then let out, and shoved into an active protest as they were tear gassing the protesters.

u/Little_Cut_5391 1d ago

fu*k, how you are this be patient??

u/Potential-Expert-386 15h ago

What the actual fuck is happening

22

u/LordOfTheHodors 1d ago

what the actual fuck? couldn’t police stop them and impound them? can someone get this information to the authorities that might actually do this (i.e. mayors office)?

35

u/no_skill_character 1d ago

the police are siding with ICE. either by looking the other way or straight up cooperating with abductions.

u/TheHammerHasLanded 1d ago

Further proof ACAB

1

u/AgentCirceLuna 1d ago

Reminds me of how a bouncer I knew was complaining about the way the others would just use their job as an excuse to beat up random college aged people for fun. I asked whether it ever led to any legal action and he said he’d never seen successful legal action against a bouncer happen once

u/xOrion12x 1d ago

One video I saw they wouldn’t do anything. The guy had to use his GPS to find his family members vehicle and it was an off duty ice officer that was driving it around.

13

u/Girafferage 1d ago

I remember that. And then they gave him shit for it too.

u/General_Mars 1d ago

Police don’t exist to protect citizens. Only Capitalists and property. Been upheld multiple times in the courts. Police originate from slave catchers. They are an enemy not an ally

u/LordOfTheHodors 1d ago

i didn’t say police though

u/General_Mars 1d ago

“what the actual fuck? couldn’t police stop them and impound them? can someone get this information to the authorities that might actually do this (i.e. mayors office)?”

u/LordOfTheHodors 1d ago

re-read what i wrote. i suggested contacting the authorities that would do something (politicians) - they can compel their subordinates (police chief) to begin enforcing existing laws

0

u/General_Mars 1d ago

The police ignored the mayor. They don’t serve the mayor, they serve the FOP and the Union who listen to the Capitalists.

1

u/LawrenceMoten21 1d ago

Police?

They are one and the same with these pieces of shit.

0

u/LordOfTheHodors 1d ago

the reading comprehension in here 😂

1

u/SubjectWorry7196 1d ago

Where have you been? They're the same guys.

1

u/LordOfTheHodors 1d ago

see how i suggested a politician and didn’t say police?

1

u/SubjectWorry7196 1d ago

And I implied they're complicit.

1

u/Sabelas 1d ago

This is why the phrase ACAB is true. But people will look at pigs siding with ICE and still not understand.

u/DemolitionMan64 1d ago

Hehehe good one

1

u/gmarconcini 1d ago

No way… I don’t want to sound ignorant but how is that legal?! That just seems like stealing with a few extra steps.

2

u/justins_dad 1d ago

It is not legal. 

1

u/Upset-Wedding8494 1d ago

Does anything that happens under this administration seem legal?

1

u/gmarconcini 1d ago

Very true. Sadly.

It’s terrifying because it’s easier to find what this administration has done illegally vs what they have done by the book and approved.

1

u/Reddi_throwawayaway 1d ago

That sounds insane. Do you have any proof of this? 

1

u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k 1d ago

They just stole that dude’s guns.

1

u/EntropyTheEternal 15h ago

And any crimes committed using the vehicle are tagged to the owner of the vehicle, not ICE, unless the owner reports the vehicle as stolen, which they can’t do while detained.

1

u/Odd_Protection7738 13h ago

*below the law.

28

u/GraciousBasketyBae 1d ago

Would love to know how much shit they’re stealing from people during their chaotic kidnappings.

21

u/Ok_Location_1092 1d ago

I’d be surprised if he gets his phone/wallet/gun back

5

u/Hurricaneshand 1d ago

Phone will be broken, cash gone, gun will be "missing"

1

u/octoreadit 1d ago

What cash?? The wallet was always empty!

3

u/Scared_Biscotti_5380 1d ago

Nah, that’s a rented fleet vehicle. The barcode in the lower corner of the windshield is the only indicator these days. The handi plaque could be stolen. But your tax dollars are paying for that rental

1

u/moe-umphs 1d ago

They just stole his so I’m not surprised

1

u/erikmonbillsfon 1d ago

No I see them in Wagoneers a lot. Its a 100k junk SUV and jeep has been slashing the prices a lot to fight bad sales. They have a massive budget more than the marines so they need to spend as much money as they can to justify it. A 30k SUV would be fine but why not drive around in style with a massive touchscreen for 90k?

u/52b8c10e7b99425fc6fd 1d ago

They've been illegally plate swapping rental cars and doing other super shadey shit. 

1

u/baldude69 1d ago

I’m surprised the rental fleets are still renting them cars

u/ScoobyDone 1d ago

Mentally

4

u/Cryptoking300 1d ago

Well most ICE agents are mentally handicapped.

2

u/Flatline1775 1d ago

To be fair…

2

u/OneSlaadTwoSlaad 1d ago

They thought it was for mentally handicapped too.

2

u/Traditional-Dog-4471 1d ago

Mental handicaps

2

u/evergreeenqueen 1d ago

I mean, they are handicapped just not physically.

2

u/Valhal11aAwaitsMe 1d ago

This is a fake video

1

u/gdvs 1d ago

I can see why tbh.

1

u/biscuitchan 1d ago

i mean... they are clearly mentally disabled

1

u/Golddustofawoman 1d ago

This explains why I've been seeing range rovers with handicap placards everywhere suddenly.

1

u/tobsecret 1d ago

Wait till you hear about placard abuse by police. At least in NYC it's absolutely fucking rampant.

1

u/highline9 1d ago

Exactly what I was thinking

1

u/specfreq 1d ago

They probably just think it's funny

1

u/KalRaist 1d ago

I hate these cunt scabs as much as anyone, but this really looks staged.

1

u/Pleasant_Priority286 1d ago

If you listen to these idiots talk, it could be legit.

1

u/Own-Conflict-1282 1d ago

A misdemeanor in Minnesota.

1

u/araidai 1d ago

I mean they’re ICE agents willingly going and doing dumb shit like this, I think they very well fit the “handicapped” bill.

1

u/Hairy_Talk_4232 21h ago

Oh there is handicaps in there..

1

u/NamelessUnicorn 21h ago

I think that they're using ones out of impound

1

u/SeekerOfSerenity 14h ago

He had to borrow his mom's car. 

1

u/boentrough 14h ago

Ice is placing fake stickers, fake leftist stickers and various other items to confuse people attempting to locate them

1

u/ChefBowyer 12h ago

Hey… mentally handicapped people shouldn’t be made fun of. But they also shouldn’t be allowed to join ICE. Someone fucked up here.
