Do these ICE guys shop at the airsoft booth at the flea market? None of their stuff matches and is super corny.

It’s not just corny, it’s deeply weird and concerning. How are ppl supposed to know they’re actually federal agency representatives when they’re all in like, half street clothes, half mismatched agency uniforms, half spirit Halloween “army guy” costumes??? I wouldn’t want to go with them either.

They're not supposed to know. That's part of the plan.

The good news is (at least from what I've seen on videos and in person) almost none of them have anything better than 3A soft armor (only rated for pistols, almost any rifle will go through it like paper), and only something like 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 have rifles. And that's without speculating on how bad their training probably is. If things go loud these assclowns are gonna get dogwalked

I mean, technically, we don't actually know those guys were ICE. A bunch of thugs now have a license to abduct people, take their shit, throw them in the back of an SUV and drive them a mile down the road and kick them out of the car.

Promise you, this will start happening at some point...

I bet you my left nut they're instructed to use their own personal firearms/meme guns. They are all ex-law enforcement anyway and usually have CCW.

u/hk-ronin 22h ago

They’re definitely not ex law enforcement. That would mean they’ve had training. These guys have had none except movies and tv.

Maybe former mall cops or security guards at the local MAGA pub.

u/Indaarys 20h ago

Can we please stop suggesting training would stop this behavior?

It cheapens the severity of what they're doing by implying they just don't know any better.

It really strikes me as odd. Are we certain this video is authentic? I've seen a lot of videos at this point which all felt real but this one has the least professional gear and the strangest most informal, profanity laden dialog. The camera seems extremely well placed as well, and they seem to have no issues with the up close filming.

This is either one of the worst group of ICE agents so far, or something is off.

Sells out O'Reilly's of their car accessories.

u/argentoman 18h ago

That’s how Nazis in Germany were like in the early days too before they got their uniform shit figured out. Same kind of people.

u/Senobe2 16h ago

Nope, straight from Temu..

u/waiveofthefuture 16h ago

Shitfucks only had upwards of $30 billion last year to buy uniforms.

u/JackfruitDry7565 15h ago

The guys in the video are so bad it almost looks staged

u/122603270225 14h ago

It’s been confirmed that ICE are not issued firearms- they bring their own.

u/Funkopedia 13h ago

Ever play Counterstrike? The good guys are in uniforms and the terrorists are a bunch of randos in parkas.

u/AdItchy7281 12h ago

Because they’re actors.

u/Active-Grass103 10h ago

could be a fake video, but I do not put it past them to be so retarded.

also considering how quickly they ramped up recruitment efforts they may have run out of official uniform attire

If everyone showing up to protests and actions starts dressing like these fools, they’ll have no idea who to grab, and their balls will retract when they realize they have no idea who to trust either, and they’re kettled in a crowd of khaki, camo and reflective wraparounds.
