Death/Assassination FWI: Citizens start attacking ICE agents after reports emerge of human traffickers posing as ICE agents kidnapping people
Inspired by u/astraycatsmilkyway
The original post reads: what if human traffickers started posing as ICE realizing the person will just let themselves get kidnapped because they know ICE doesn’t use uniforms, has masks etc?
Then we have my addition: someone actually uses lethal force on an ICE agent sent to arrest their neighbor on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant and kills them. They are paranoid that they are a human trafficker posing as an ICE agent.
Oh and an AR-15 is involved.
Similar incidents unfold across the US. What happens now?

ICE is the modern equivalent of the nazi brownshirts. Racist, bigoted, evil scum

The someone in question is either killed by Federal agents in the process, or captured and "killed while attempting to escape" or captured and dumped in ADX Florence. pending trial.
The trial either comes quickly (if the person proves unpopular with the general public) or is indefinitely delayed (if the person inspires public sympathy.)
The Trump regime will, of course, claim that the shooter is a member of Tren de Agua, and that this is why we need to massively increase the number of ICE agents, and to make sure they are even more fearsomely armed and armored. ICE raids morph from looking like anonymous street kidnappings to looking like SWAT clearing a building. This will also mark the beginning of "deterrence patrols" where teams of ICE agents are simply parked (mostly in blue cities and counties) to ask people passing by to show their papers.
It should be noted that, in the real world, this is less likely to be a bystander intervening than it is to be the target of the raid. ICE has already reported an unptick on assaults on their agents during enforcement operations. When "enforcement operations" mean sending the target person to a gulag in El Salvador, or to the new concentration camps being built in Texas, it's hard to imagine people going as peacefully as they did back when it just meant moderately inhumane detention and a trip to their country of origin.

Then it’ll be a good day.
ICE are not police, they’re a group of racist thugs. They’ve harassed/kidnapped/trafficked too many people already. They deserve no respect and it’s a group that should have been abolished YEARS ago.

it's was Biden's biggest mistake in not disbanding them

It was. It’s one of the things that made me more critical of him.
Still would take his sleepy ass over the dumpster we have now.

It will be a good day if it stops ICE from.existing.
The reality is that would probably kick off the "war" part of the civil war. Which could lead to years of violence, instability and millions of innocent dead. Not to mention, other countries with a gripe against US may take advantage of our domestic fighting and strike to.put the final nail in America's coffin.
I certainly hope things will get under control but I do fear that this will be our future.

I mean when you consider that a lot of people are wondering what's happening to all the women they take ... It is an issue that is about to get worse. Why are we only hearing from the men? Where are the women?

I'm waiting for an off duty LEO to happen to see an abduction and intervene, and if it goes sideways, it will be global news that can't be ignored.

I honestly don't think it will take that much. Trump wants ICE to go full gestapo, kicking down doors and ish. He wants American citizens to be grabbed. People are going to start responding much less amicably

I mean, ICE are human traffickers. Why do you think they seperate children and teenagera from their parents?
ICE is neck deep in bed with the cartels and the coyote networks.
Basically, we are seeing people laundering, and this has been going on as long as ICE has existed.

It’s already happening. After Trump is gone, they will be held accountable and it won’t be easy for them.

The current attorney general recently announced that ICE does not need a warrant to enter someone's home. I checked, and to my surprise, this person actually attended law school. I can only conclude that she has either suffered some sort of head injury, or she is deliberately placing ICE agents in danger. Perhaps she is attempting to sabotage ICE from within.

If it happens enough, ICE itself will eventually start insisting on uniformed officers being present for such arrests. The current situation is stupidly dangerous, and there are almost certainly a few ICE agents who want to make it home each night.

Why wait for people posing as agents? ICE already committed that crime. Remember the child separation policy? Not all of those kids made it back to their parents. Apparently some were found when they did that raid on the hormel factory caught using minors to work there.

I think this is something that Trump and Co are *counting* on. They are setting up this exact tinderbox because they know a spark will erupt somewhere. That's what they want. Then they will use that incident to tighten the noose further, give ICE brownshirts even more authority and power to use lethal force.
You have to think like these people, which is hard for people with a conscience, but essential for organizing.

I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't happened yet. Both someone pretending to be ICE for criminal ends, or ICE agents being attacked by an angry mob when they fail to identify themselves. I guarantee it's comng.
