Does anybody have a source on this?

trust me bro

This is a screenshot from Mercado Medias Livestream tonight (14JAN2026). Two abandoned ice vehicles were left at the scene of the shooting on 24th and Lyndale and were either left open or opened and the contents inside the vehicles were acquired by protesters. Mercado Media did not participate in this action, nor recorded it in progress, but a protester approached the journalist afterwards and presented several objects reportedly taken from an abandoned bag that ICE agents left open at the scene. The bag also contained several documents containing sensitive information from the agent. (I believe the sensitive information being shown on the steam before this coin is why the Livestream has been taken down either by YouTube or ICE online monitors).

The protestor who gave the coins for Mercado Media to observe reported that these coins were given to ICE agents for significant arrests or feats in the field (unconfirmed). I don't see online an exact replica of this coin, so I can only assume it is ICE specific.

It's probably not "from ice" but from some douche ice thug who thinks it is cool and is sharing them with his buddies. Anyone can buy challenge coins and say they are for whatever they want

This coin makes me forget that my wife makes fun of my tiny dick.

So no one documented it and afterwards a random person gave the coins to the reporter?

[–] bigmamoth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your comment history indicates you're not quite the balanced thinker you pretend to be in this case.

[–] bigmamoth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This seems like something that would be all over Fox News if it were real. The vandalized vehicle at least.

Really? Almost nothing covering protests and anti ice sentiment or ice brutality is shown on the tv news.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

If it’s something they think will make the protesters look bad, they will show it.
