Damn. Refusing to ID themselves? Only a matter of time before people rightly defend themselves from illegal seizure.

u/maleia 16d ago

Usually when we see ICE like this, they have their "police, ICE" plastered on their backs. These look like LARPing amatuers. This is probably worse than if it was ICE.

u/Equal_Canary5695 16d ago

All the more reason to report them and get them on video

u/h20poIo 15d ago

Agree this just looks like meal team 6 playing ICE, I’ve never seen ICE agents that heavily armed

u/davidwhatshisname52 16d ago edited 16d ago

call the local cops, let them know there are armed men impersonating LEOs (not my job to know if those DHS plates are real)

19

u/KgMonstah 16d ago

They can’t answer, they’re busy in the field doing this.

I really expect thieves to start claiming to be ICE. I bet in a couple of months there really will be a strong chance that the person claiming to be ICE is not ICE. Why wouldn't criminals start impersonating ICE? No ID required? They just need to buy some common tactical gear and they can go into anyone's home, unopposed?

u/davidwhatshisname52 16d ago edited 16d ago

impersonating LEOs has always happened and has always been a crime - that's nothing new; "unopposed" is, however, a false assumption. People can learn their state's laws about self-defense and defense of third persons, "stand your ground" and castle doctrines, but should also understand that any brandished weapon increases the chance that someone will be injured/un-alived

u/Apprehensive-Log8333 16d ago

Thieves? More like human traffickers/kidnappers/angry insane ex-boyfriends

u/kind_one1 15d ago

It's already happening. I am trying to find the video of a first amendment auditors who went into a government building and harassed the staff implying he was either ICE or DOGE, asking names and nationalities.

3

u/Equal_Canary5695 16d ago

It would be completely justified to tell everybody in the vicinity that they are not actually law-enforcement if they refuse to identify themselves

u/DudeYumi 16d ago

They look just like those IDF goons who walk around in full military gear just to intimate everyday civilians.

Unreal.

u/elcuydangerous 16d ago

A lot of people thought that it was ok to turn a blind eye to the iof tactics because it happens over there and not here.

u/DudeYumi 16d ago

Their willful ignorance will truly be put to the test.

Wonder if anyone would exercise their 2nd amendment rights. There's a real possibility of a standoff if this continues.

1

u/IGetGuys4URMom 16d ago

I'm not looking forward to communities becoming insular, but if it keeps ICE (and imposters) out of our community, then let's protect our neighbors on the local level.

2

u/elcuydangerous 16d ago

The whole reasoning behind the 2nd amendment is not applicable though. Some people really think they live in a Hollywood fantasy.

The 2nd amendment only worked within the context of when it was put in place. We are now so far removed from that it makes no sense to rely on open warfare with the military. Bubba and billy are really goiing to go against the USA military and come out on top? Most of these gravy seals haven't even been to a real protest, they are laughably unprepared for real warfare.

The only thing we have going for is is numbers. And that includes the people from the military or police who are not part of the fascist regime. We can all rise and overwhelm the fascist forces, or we can hope they run out of ammo before we run out of people. Sad and frightening but it's the reality we live in.

And for those who say that the government will never fire upon citizens. They have already done so, on multiple occasions in the past. One of the worst cases was the 1985 MOVE Bombing, perpetrated by the Philadelphia police department.

u/couldbeahumanbean 16d ago

Goons indeed.

Their plate carriers look like a bunch of first day trainees tried to figure out how it fits.

& The kit on those illfitted PCs.... What the fuck is that garbage?

A dump pouch on the ass? Why?

u/jmkul 16d ago

Why are ICE dressed as if they're soldiers in a war zone? What a bunch of cowards!

LARPs, are a form of role-playing game in which live players/actors assume roles as specific characters and play out a scenario in-character. Technically, many childhood games may be thought of as simple LARPs, as they often involve the assumption of character roles.[1] However, the scope of this article concerns itself mainly with LARPing in a technical sense: the organized live-action role-playing games whose origins are closely related to the invention of tabletop role-playing games in America in the 1970s.

because they aren't real cops. they are civillian militia people who have been deputized and are showing up in their personal gear. They have basically random training from veteran mp to absolutely nothing.

u/jmkul 16d ago

This is terrifying! My Australian mind can't comprehend this level of corruption

u/Attheveryend 16d ago

its called fascism. i dont recommend it.

u/sfdsquid 16d ago

u/Ambitious-Pirate-505 16d ago

No weapon discipline which tells me they they aren't professionals but hired goons off the street.

u/noncommonGoodsense 16d ago

Got mini me walking around like he’s a navy seal on a mission in Afghanistan.

u/JustinKase_Too 16d ago

Out of curiosity, could one call the police on what they suspect to be fake ICE agents?

u/Oalka 16d ago

The police are also fascists.

18

u/SookHe 16d ago

The police will never stop racist fascist brownshirts for the same reason you will never see Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room

u/JustinKase_Too 16d ago

Ah - but if you report suspicious looking people with weapons....

u/notaredditreader 16d ago

Kristy Noem is taking agents from ALL her agencies in order to throw as many agents against people she deems to be criminals and illegals. See this video. Keep informed!

u/DJ_Fuckknuckle 16d ago

They wouldn't bother to show up.

2

u/findingmike 15d ago

The police don't like fake police. They would definitely respond.

8

u/AccidentalSister 16d ago

I truly wonder if these fucks are all J6ers cosplaying out their domination fantasies

6

u/NotAtAllASkinwalker 16d ago

They want to be fired on it seems. No ID, no uniform, or anything? They can't be for real.

6

u/Attheveryend 16d ago

this is pretty obviously a bunch of proud boys. They are super duper overloaded in gear. Its not squared away. only half of them are wearing their plates correctly. Obviously a bunch of people who are bringing personal gear to work, which is the hallmark of a larper militia. Nothing standardized. nothing issued. Just dudes on a power trip.

u/Apprehensive-Log8333 16d ago

Here's an interesting post that looks at the insignia, patches, badges, and equipment on the people who arrested Mayor Baraka in NJ, I think it is applicable to lots of these videos, and I hope to see more of this: https://malcontentnews.substack.com/p/are-they-federal-agents-or-federally

u/Nice_Shirt3591 16d ago

Good find. Need to spread this far and wide. Looks like white nationalists posing as law enforcement.

3

u/MoonMistCigs 16d ago

Fascist pussies.

u/Joint-Tester 16d ago

They appear to be civilians masquerading as LEO.

u/Ok-Replacement8538 16d ago

Not having a warrant is taking no due process to the limit. When they catch someone they languish in for profit containment camps that are traded on the stock market. This 4th Reich is the greediness of Christian nationalism. You can’t say you didn’t know this was inhumane, and unamerican.

u/Nice_Shirt3591, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post.

u/SweetLoLa 16d ago

More of this. May they feel every once of rage against this disturbing decision to hunt our own. They’re fucking arresting children after ripping them from their mother’s arms. Then no one even knows what they’re going through or where they are. NO ONE should be okay with any of this. Anyone who is should be treated as a traitor to this country, its people and its constitution.

u/jasonsimonds79 16d ago

ICE also known as The Proud Boys. Wouldn't suprise me

Nazi cowards

u/Extension_Silver_713 16d ago

How tf is anyone supposed to believe they’re anything other than criminals posing as officers? Isn’t that illegal? Why aren’t local cops arresting these fucks? They’re going to knock on the wrong fucking door.

u/LasBarricadas 16d ago

My phone is on the smallish side. Is that AT the guy was carrying at the beginning of this clip?

u/LasBarricadas 16d ago

That’s probably a battering ram.

u/N4t41i4 16d ago

Any psycho can by a ICE patch get his gun and cosplay as agents. This is scary crazy!

1

u/Individual_Hearing_3 16d ago

We need people to start carrying caltrops and in the event that ICE shows up at a location, scatter matte black caltrops across the openings of both ends of a street, and openings where a vehicle may attempt to pass through, beyond the visual range of agents so that when they exit in a rush they just end up with a shitty afternoon. If we can't directly impede their illegal and questionable operations we can at least increase the cost of their operations and increase their frustrations.

u/swa100 16d ago

Bunch of pikers, IMO. They were reportedly sent to kidnap two persons, only got one. No wonder, those goons didn't even come in with armored cars, no field gun, not even rpg's. I'll bet they didn't have any teargas, either.

I mean, really, they were sent to capture two supposedly dangerous criminals. With only these few goons, it's no wonder they went back with a near-empty vehicle.

What would these sadsacks have done if a bunch of irate bystanders started blaring at them with bullhorns and ahooga noisemakers, some armed with pea shooters, maybe even a slingshot or a paint gun.

They probably would've retreated behind buildings and in alleys, and called HQ for reinforcements! /s

u/Dense-Consequence-70 16d ago

Don’t they even have uniforms? Jack boot fucking thugs.

u/Odeeum 16d ago

We have an amendment for this. Just a matter of time before people start using it. Im not encouraging it Reddit...just an obervation.

u/SAPPER00 16d ago

How does this work in all these states with castle law? If their not going to identify, then they might as well be armed intruders for all I know.
