Trump's brown shirts terrorizing Americans.

Trump's brown shirts terrorizing minors in their underwear.

I'm disgusted but I'm not surprised.

How's everyone feeling about America having Nazi Gestapo and concentration camps?

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess, after trying it, I'd have to say nah, not really into it.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Too bad Americans are stupid enough to have to see for themselves before they judge.

Your generalizations, friend, cut me to the quick.

I feel used to it. We had concentration camps during the FDR admin, and we've had gestapo since shortly after 9/11. Trump didn't turn the US into shit, all he did was smear it on our faces.

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (5 children)

non of these raids happened under Biden, stop lying to yourself. Trump is 100% exponentially escalating the surveilance state

Now imagine all the other families that have been traumatized by ICE. Are people going to stand up and support one another?

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 14 points 9 months ago (6 children)

Sure. I'm asking my friends to lawyer up. Not sure what else one can do against police unless you are just going for the old k-d ratio

Ah, they robbed them too while they were at it. If they take your shit and give no information on how to get it back, how is it not stolen?

I guess anyone moving to a new address should assume the gestapo can show up whenever they please looking for former residents.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Like how is this even possible. The whole "home invasion" style of enforcement is itself dystopian and wrong, but once you're all done you should have some clear paperwork and accountability to hand out. That they don't have it indicates the people involved don't believe in due process or public accountability.

Were these people even real agents? How could she even verify that? No one should need to "look into" the matter. There should be a case number, organization, and point of contact on an official form for her. They aren't the people and that should be easy to verify with a day, give them their stuff back.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Were these people even real agents? How could she even verify that?

Hard to say. Two of the three agencies that identified themselves to her (FBI and US Marshals) later denied having agents there.

Either they're lying or shit is real disorganized. Or both. It's probably both.

You know Hanlon's razor? We need an addendum to it that I'll be calling Trump's razor: under the current administration, if there's a possible explanation that's both malicious AND stupid, that's the most likely one.

Lesson: Before you move into a new rental, find out who was there before and how long it's been empty. I can see this situation happening a lot as more targeted people move to avoid being found, and unknowing people move into the vacated rental unit.

Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”

“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”

As for Marissa’s phones, electronics, and cash, they have no idea which agency has those belongings or how to get those items back.

They're totally fucked. Each agency that was there denies responsibility and refers them to the next, which does the same.

[–] mememuseum@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Gonna have to replace all those electronics too, even if they're given back.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

We're totally fucked. This could happen to any one of us.

And if they were the "suspects," it would have been much, much worse. She might have never seen her children again. Not because she did anything wrong or there was anything wrong with her visa, but just because they'd written her name down and decided today was her day.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 46 points 9 months ago (1 children)

not the suspects

Irrelevant. No one is safe in that nation.

[–] vimmiewimmie@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

that nation What nation do you live in?

And are you adopting? Asking for...me. I'm asking for me. No lie.

Canada, so maybe wait to see if we are invaded first.

Oklahoma has a lot of laws saying you can shoot anyone on your property and in your residence.

I'm surprised their wasn't a shootout, but don't worry that day is fast approaching.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago (9 children)

The problem with the fantasy of home invasion is that you don't get a fifteen minute notice to pull all your guns out and bunker down like you're a Vietcong guerrilla.

And anyone who thinks "if a cop breaks into my home, I'll just shot them and that'll be that" needs to learn about Ruby Ridge.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Atatiana Jefferson was shot because the cops were snooping around her property. You dont even ha e to have the cops break in to get shot

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I mean, that was back during the halcyon era of prosecuting police officers who shoot civilians in their sleep. The offending officer received 11 years, 10 months, and 12 days - the jury picked the date of the shooting for the sentence - for manslaughter.

But this was back in 2022 when the Dallas PD was Woke. Can't imagine it happening today without a gubernatorial pardon in the mix.

While defending yourself in a no knock situation could be warranted, we can't pretend that ICE wouldn't have then murdered the whole family. You might be able to find a sympathetic judge and jury but that's not worth much when you and / or people you care about are dead.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

That's assuming they'll be left in peace after the illegal gestapo raid. Who's to say that said gestapo's not going to put them in a truck and send him to a concentration camp in El Salvador. People have no choice but to defend themselves as if ice is at your door they're going to kill you. Because that's the implication

because even if they were illegal immigrants, that doesn't justify this. That's a civil offense. There's no justification for these actions. I'm ready in my house for them and when they break in, I'm opening fire. and I'll go on record about why and I'll say i hope this makes every ice agent quit their jobs in fear for their lives.

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I hope you survive the encounter, but I agree that this is the only way to strike fear into ICE so that they decide to either defect or follow the laws.
