On June 27, in Huntington Park, California, federal agents from Customs and Border Protection (CPB) carried out a violent raid on the home of a working class family while Jenny Ramirez was caring for her two children, aged six and one.

In a scene of militarized terror more typical of a war zone than a residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, agents used an explosive device to blast the front door off its hinges—without warning or announcement—before storming the premises.

Home surveillance footage of the raid shows eight heavily armed agents, guns drawn, storming the home after blowing the door off its hinges. Later in the video, Ramirez and her children are seen being escorted out by the agents.

these are the guys that just got a mega budget increase

What are they supposed to do? Just not use the cool expensive toys their increased budget got them? That would be a criminal waste of taxpayer dollars! /s

That's using the budget they have now.

The new budget going through right now increases their budget to an absurd degree. ICE is about to have a larger budget than any other country's entire military and defense budget.

They're 100% militarizing the gestapo.

Only the 8th best funded military when compared to nation states 🤮

No they are massively over budget. They haven't gotten a budget increase yet, it just passed Congress.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The massive budget is going to allow them to build death camps. Detainees are already dying.
What happens when a hurricane hits Florida's new tent camp?

This is so bad.
