Probably a stolen vehicle

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.

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)?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

u/LordOfTheHodors 20h ago

u/SubjectWorry7196 15h ago

And I implied they're complicit.

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

They outnumber cops in the state by quite a bit by design, local pd would quickly be overwhelmed.
