A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

    Those fucks stalked my wife while she was coming home from getting bloodwork a couple weeks ago. My lily white South Dakotan wife. She noticed an ICE vehicle staking out the blood draw place when she left. They start following her when she left through multiple turns including 3 consecutive right turns. She led them through a pharmacy drive thru and picked up some scripts singing loudly now about “Fuck ICE” then ditched them in the maze of one way streets in our neighborhood. Fuck them.

    Doesn’t seem like an arrest when it’s on Illegal grounds. I call it kidnapping. Which is where the actual authorities should be stepping in to do something about it, but I guess they’re seeing them as also officers in uniform and hey, got to support the blue, right? No matter what they’re doing to people.

    Regardless of citizenship, they literally pulled every resident out of their homes at an apartment complex to n Chicago.

    Why every single one of us wasn’t rioting afterward in the streets is beyond me.

      They went so hard against the constitution so early on in chicago. This which is a text book analogy to the story of why illegal search and seizure is in the fifth amendment. England having soldiers come into a community and say there is a criminal so proceeds to break down every door, toss the residences and detaining everyone in the center of town. Last I knew one guy from the complex, which from what I can tell number 100 to maybe over 200 private residences, had a traffice violation and that is the extent of criminals they found. They straight up murdered a guy for driving away in franklin park. Then of course over time they tried to shoot a clergymans eye out, won’t tell anyone where people who are grabbed have been taken, including lawyers, filled a woman full of holes who survived by some miracle, won’t allow communion or any other religious rite be performed for detainees. Oh and then the random shooting of people with pepperballs and tossing gas canisters around like its one of their ice-mates salad.

        Every single one of us should be concerned that ICE is going door to door looking for hidden immigrants.

          If they are doing this on US soil can you imagine what they did in the middle east? It’s no wonder all those countries are against the USA. Wiki leaks exposed it and nothing happened, Snowden exposed what’s going on inside the US and nothing happened. It’s a government that has been totally out of control for years

          Operation PB success… Cia first operation… F the government

    What do you call it when a goon drives a car with a US citizen toddler inside away while their parent is taken away? Because I’m pretty sure arresting toddlers isn’t acceptable at any level. What possible crime could justify toddler detainment? Seems counterintuitive for the parents rights crowd.

      Clearly the toddler was involved in a terrorist plot to subvert the government.

      The entire point of dehumanizing immigrants is so that “the parents rights crowd” won’t be bothered. “Immigrants aren’t human, they’re just immigrants.” They might not say those words, but that how their brain is processing the information.

    Since the article doesn’t make it clear, it’s important to note that the fourth amendment applies to everyone, not just US citizens.

    Beginning to question the legitimacy of the entire process. Feels like we’re just snatching up poor people and criminalizing them for being the wrong skin tone.

    There’s literally videos of them arresting Americans. One that comes to mind is when they grabbed Rodney roadsteamer from out front of the ice facility in his giraffe outfit for singing a song that hurt their Gestapo snowflake feelings

    So what will be done about it? Until there are actual consequences, clutching pearls over this means nothing.
