Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.

"Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school" is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.

Is the pickup truck ok?

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn't matter anymore.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 206 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn these ICE agents are a threat to everyone.

Always have been.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 132 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I watched most of the video clip. The agents all look kinda perplexed. As if they can’t understand that nearly any species alive will go nuts when you go for their offspring.

Guys, I think ICE agents are aliens.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it's a case of psychopathy and the fact that some of these people TRULY don't see black and brown people as people. The dehumanization is truly complete to the point that they really don't understand that they're PEOPLE, with thoughts and feelings.

[–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Psychopaths understand people a lot better than these ice agents. These are garden variety sociopaths at best

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Are they... illegal aliens?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 42 points 2 days ago

Well, they are doing illegal things

Well, they're supposed to snatch innocent people, kids, break apart families, so I think it's granted they must be some kind of sadistic psychopaths.

After that, the way they try to get around the illegality of what they're doing suggests they're also very, very, very dumb.

[–] Gorge@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly. Joining ice is the easiest way to show the world you're antisocial, racist and have zero ~~emotional~~ intelligence. These people wouldn't know empathy if it slapped someone else across the face

“collateral arrests”= unconstitutional and kidnapping.

If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 127 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Regardless of who caused the accident, they hit and run, right? That's insanely illegal.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 87 points 2 days ago

Yes.

I'm not at all surprised they did it, though. What's yet another little law when their entire day job involves breaking them?

So, Imma go back to my philosophy 101 argument structure days. Fill in the blank.

Premise 1. Racists should never feel safe being racists. Premise 2. Nobody willingly becomes an ICE agent without being a racist. Conclusion: Therefore, ... ?

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ICE should never feel safe, at any time, ever again. Make them NEED marines and NG cover every time they go out for one of their abduction raids.

I hope every ICE agent dies of slow colon cancer

I feel sorry for the colon cancer

I'm surprised they aren't just knocking in doors at this point. How terrifying.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

They start that in the wrong areas and being scared of getting hit but watterbottles and rocks will be the least of their worries.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 28 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I wonder if ICE agents are paid a lot more than those people would be in other jobs having the same qualifications/experience etc, and that’s the reason why they stay on. Or some massive perks or something. Why isn’t there a mass exodus of ICE agents leaving? Or maybe there is and it’s not reported? There must be some attraction?

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 49 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm pretty much convinced they recruited all these thugs from alt-right groups and disgraced ex-police in the last few months. They don't have uniforms or badges. They wear face masks and refuse to identify themselves. They needed a bunch of guys that had no problem with being cruel and hateful and they were right there ready to step up.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

yea these are most likely the same people who formed their own local militias and jerked off to fantasies of shooting protesters.

The massive perk is that they get to be cruel bastards and hate for a living.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 22 points 1 day ago

You only agree to work for ICE if you're a psychopath in the first place.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

When people start shooting these Nazis you'll see the rats leave the sinking ship rapidly.

Westbury: "in Latino-heavy New York suburbs."

Ummmmmmmm.... Unless Westbury changed in the 6 months since I've been there, it's a really wealthy area. Not that Latinos can't be wealthy, but my dad lives there, I'm literally going there Sunday. I wouldn't exactly describe it as Latino-heavy, unless you aim to describe the entirety of Long Island as Latino-heavy...

My neck and back would hurt. I thought the NKVD/RSHA clowns were all about AmeriKa First, at least drive an Amerikan built vehicle.
