Authorities in at least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a time when real ICE agents have ramped up immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration, adding to existing fears of law enforcement among migrant communities.
You can’t impersonate an officer when officers are doing everything in their power to not be recognized as officers. No face, name tag, department, badge, uniform, warrant, marked government vehicle, standard issue side arm, etc. If no one is a cop then everyone can pretend to be a cop.
Like Iranian gun teams. They’ll be able to move around fully armed and in the open for a looooooooooong time thanks to ICE. America is so fucked.
Correct. Cosplaying Gestapo thugs is not a crime.
Heres a crazy idea. make them wear uniforms with no masks and badges. Crazy I know.
Who could have forseen this could happen?
Wait, you mean criminals are impersonating the guys that look and act like criminals? How odd.
Don’t people realize that ICE are the people with masks that don’t have to identify themselves or provide a reason why you should comply and that criminals are the people with masks that don’t have to identify themselves or provide a reason why you should comply? Come on, sheeple.
genuinely, if i was american, i’d make sure to get a license to carry just in case this ever happened to me. anyone not identifying themselves trying to stuff me in an umarked vehicle is a kidnapper and will be treated as such.
What if these fake ICE officers identified themselves as ICE though? At what point does your identification become truth? The official ICE gestapo already doesn’t have to fully identify themselves.
Yup. I’m shooting anyone in the face who tries to abduct me without properly identifying themselves. I’ll deal with the repercussions after I potentially save myself from being human trafficked or having my organs harvested.
The problem is you might not get the chance to make such a defense in a courtroom. If it is an actual ICE agent, they will just disappear you.
So you’ll be charged with resisting arrest and uttering threats. So even if you’re innocent of the initial immigration charges you still get a felony arrest.
They are sending people straight to off shore black sites. If you wanna go to El Salvador or Guantanamo Bay, be my guest, but i have no plan on being sent anywhere.
Whether you plan on it or not. It could happen for just being nearby.
Sure sounds like you are better off being strapped and putting up a fight then. It just takes a handful of ICE kidnappings ending in a gun fight before those pussies stop.
Hence: the gun
My point was you can’t win. They’ll fuck you either way
And their point is that if you fucked either way it doesn’t matter anymore what you do.
Well then I’m taking a few of them with me!
You’re already being kidnapped and potentially sent to an out of country prison with no hearing. There is no downside under these parameters.
actually, legally speaking you are 100% in the right for defending yourself from kidnappings. any officer is required by law to identify themselves, and seeing as they didnt, thats on them.
“Johnson was charged with three counts of kidnapping and one count each of impersonating a law enforcement officer, petty larceny, assault and battery, according to jail records.”
This is what cop behavior is legally described as when you aren’t a cop.
Fucking excellent.
Well, not the crime and the general scumbaggery, but the more this happens the more justified you’ll be gunning down a random person claiming to be law enforcement as they attempt to illegally detain people. Every time an ice agent dies an angel gets its wings - if it’s from a legally defensible bullet from a patriot they get to cum too.
Do your part assholes.
The literal only difference beetween these kids and ICE is that ICE gets paid.
No, the difference is the amount of backup they have
I wouldn’t be surprised if they deputised unpaid volunteers at this point.
To me it sounds more like the cops are impersonating civilians.
Criminals are impersonating other criminals who are under the power of a criminal
Criminalception!!
authorities issue national warning
Instead of just stopping the behavior that makes this even possible lol
There’s an extremely simple solution to this problem
Yeah, shoot anyone in the face that tries to abduct you without proper identification.
Everyone should just dress up like ICE everywhere … you don’t have to do anything violent or illegal … just go about your day as an ICE agent.
Going shopping, dress up like ICE … anyone asks, just say you’re ICE
Going to the movies? dress up like ICE
Going to visit grandma? dress up like ICE
Going to a wedding? dress up like ICE with a hoodie, ball cap, sunglasses and mask
Once everyone everywhere is ICE … ICE will be less likely to bother people
Once everyone everywhere is ICE … ICE will be less likely to bother people
Yes, because if there’s one thing anonymous “law enforcement” groups hate, it’s having more plausible deniability and the ability to hide in a larger crowd before they snatch and grab.
The criminals are impersonating criminals.
Who knew sending unidentified masked domestic terrorists to abduct people off the street into unmarked vehicles could lead to problems?
Fascism, folks. Always stupid. Always dangerous.
