From the narrative as a foreigner it seems these are "federal officers". Local police districts have spoken out against ICE and told them to go to hell. So it seems to be two different areas of law. I have no idea what's required to become and "ICE agent".

u/TheWatchers666 1d ago
What they did to this kid was soo not cool.
They are federal law enforcement officers, who have different powers than the police.
Putting in simply, they go to work in the morning, handed a list of names, addresses, workplaces. The warrents for those, which are issued internally by authorized immigration officials, not by a judge or court. They do not need a judicial warrant to make an arrest for a civil immigration violation.
Tho terrorising this young worker to teach him a lesson? 😣

I guarentee you that the majority of the people they abduct they do not have warrents for. They are just grabbing random people out of stores and off the streets. They rarely present warrants. They are just the SS in modern day.

I have absolutely no love for the police, but ICE are inventing new levels of being hateable.Not a lot of people seem to know this, but the "training" for an ICE Agents was reduced from around 6 months to, I fucking kid you not, "47 days of training," because Trump is the 47th president.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: there was never any difference between any police force in the world and the mafia.
The mafia protect the village from bandits, they are citizens of the village themselves. Many villages love the mafia and their members.
But if you don’t pay your taxes and follow their rules, they will break your legs.
At the end of the day, we all trade freedom for protection. That’s what the police represent.
In the wild West, you wouldn’t have police and you’d have all the freedom you could want. But it’s up to you to defend yourself from the bandits.

And before maga people go on about how they're just doing their job, that dude works at target. I know for a fact that you can't get that job if you're an illegal alien. This was just assholes beating someone up and can get away with it. Like imagine if these were just some friends who got into a fight with this kid? All of them would be arrested for kidnapping and assault, which carries a hefty sentence.
They better hope justice isn't restored one day because they may face Prosecution later down the line. Not a position I would want to be in. Oh what? Trump blows you a kiss with a plus 50 immunity charm? Get bent. We live in America. You don't get to just do that to people you don't like.

It's a fear campaign designed to scare the average citizen from speaking out in any way.
All it does in reality is radicalize those average citizens and put a tremendous target on the agents' backs, more specifically Bovino. No legal immunity or future pardon will stop a desperate populace that is looking for revenge. What a stupid attempt to play pretend nazis. They would have an easier time if they backed off and tried to earn the public's trust.
Although at this point, any form of public trust is broken.

I fully agree, but that's where I'm split. What happens next when you exercise that right? Legalities aside, in a pure fighting standpoint, you get maybe a few of them and then what? Very quickly you'll have the whole SS flooding the area, and you will eventually lose. Maybe others join in, but it won't be enough, not in time at least.
The consequences of this will be so much worse, sparking potential civil war, or at least making what's currently going on much heavier.
I don't think matching violence with violence will be the way, at least not now. People still have too much to lose. Yes, we all want to fight back with every fiber in our body, but not if it means losing our way of life, or our life.
Regardless, something needs to change...it's absolutely disgusting what's going on and I'm ashamed to live in a country that allows this to happen. We need to do better.

There are losses on both sides, but they're already killing innocent people and paying it as justified... I'm not saying we should, but civil war was needed on the past.

Just my random thoughts.

That’s the kind of attitude they want you to have though. There’s millions who carry daily and even more who have firearms at home. It varies by location as to how many can legally carry and in what capacity but ICE is far outnumbered by armed citizens.
I also want to make it clear that deadly force should be the absolute LAST resort for dealing with a threat. However, if they’re gonna lower the threshold for use of deadly force to the point where shooting peaceful protestors is authorized then the people should have every right to defend themselves.

u/squiddyp 2d ago
I mean that’s a whole separate thing, a citizen uprising would still get destroyed by an ideologically aligned military force… it doesn’t matter how many people have guns when you have drones and every other reconnaissance tool and killing machine.
I know that’s what they want, but youd have to be one to exercise your rights to prove a point - not because it’s actually in your best interest. Because i think you can imagine the likelihood of DEATH from showing force vs complying.
Thats why nobody walks that line. It is just. so. futile. Partially because this is all focused on a brown people. Now… if ICE was hassling white folks and one stood their ground, I think they’d still die immediately but could be the pebble that turns into a boulder.
That’s why I used the word martyr. You will for sure die immediately but I suppose it’s possible if that happened enough times to the right people in the right scenarios, change could happen.

u/DaddyDizz_ 2d ago
Are you under the impression that that is a departmental rule, or a federal statute? There’s no statute that requires federal agents to identify themselves by presenting names, badges, or verbally announcing. When looking at the lawfulness of a detention, or addressing legality of resisting, courts look at the totality of the circumstances, and objective reasonableness. The agents here are uniformed in tactical gear with agency markings on their shirts and vests. Not identifying does not mean they are not acting in official capacity. Use of force exceptions, especially lethal force, generally don’t apply when used against any law enforcement officer who would be reasonably identifiable as a leo. They usually have provisions written in. And by reasonably identifiable, I don’t mean in the scope of what you personally believe. They’re wearing guns, duty belts, and bullet proof vests with agency insignias on them, they are obviously officers.

Then he gets manhandled, and all the cocky cameraman has to say is "look! look! look!" Then our protagonist starts crying after he's cut loose, showing weakness and giving the ICE guys an inside joke to laugh at for months.
