ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

Not as much fear as the people whose doors your busting down without a warrant.

    “There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy-handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

    What the fuck.

    This dipshit literally thinks it should be our lives in danger. These people deserve everything coming to them.

      They like to imagine themselves a modern day “Untouchables” standing up to violent gangs in a way no one else is willing to do. They imagine that’s all the illegal immigrants do is commit violent crime.

      At least some of them are confused by killing a non-criminal white woman citizen and how the administration is doubling down. Some of them didn’t sign up to kill white people.

      They aren’t nearly terrified enough. They shouldn’t be allowed to sleep, nor leave their car tires unattended, nor get delivery, nor trust what’s in their fast food orders.

      We need to remind them there is far more of us than them. They send 20? We should send 200. Out number them and make them fear for their lives, not the other way around.

      If we as citizens are unsure if we can go home today without being killed by ICE, they should feel the same.

    They should be terrified. Every collaborator with this fascist regime should be hounded every moment for the rest of their lives. When they’re grocery shopping, at a restaurant, at church. Every moment should be a glaring reflection of the sucking hole in their souls where their morals should be.

    the fact this poor womens last name is Good. And the articles speak to the “killing of Good” is so spot on it feels like if you wrote this in a story, the editor would tell you not to be so obvious about it.

      History is filled with these moments lol. Whatever entity that is writing our story would benefit from learning wtf subtlety is.

        That’s absolutely true. If 2 decades ago anyone had written a story or movie about a president acting like Trump, it would have been considered too unrealistic to publish.

          Funny you should say that when Idiocracy came out exactly 20 years ago, though even then the movie was being optimistic by setting the narrative 500 years in the future.

            The movie was satirical hyperbole, though. If it was played as genuine, not in a comedy, it would ruin the film.

        Except that we’re being smashed over the head with the point and still not getting it. It’s honestly insane how obvious everything is and we as a species are still too stupid to see it all.

      For real.

      And I couldn’t help but think of Eugene (meaning: well-born, good, virtuous) Goodman.

      You know what? I wish Mr. Goodman would escort Ms. Good’s widowed wife during the funeral ceremony. But I’m being crazy.

        Eh. I think it depends. In general, it should alleviate the dread. Without such relief, they’d essentially be in the same boat if they hadn’t left. We want to incentivse people to leave. However, if they’re a fuckwit (looking at you ICE guy who killed that lady), then they might as well just kill themselves.

        *Edit: spelling

            I am not saying you intended to diminish/sanitize anything, but I would like to emphasize brutally murdered and shot to death.

              You’re correct, that was not my intention; didn’t realize it came off that way. Emphasis added.

    One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.

    Thats good to hear. But its not gonna be enough i fear.

    “If this situation continues, many of us fear that when the Dems get back in, they will dissolve ICE altogether,” he said. “For those of us who care about the good work ICE has done in the past three decades, that’s a very sad state of affairs.”

    Still blaming democrats for the consequences of the things that Trump is doing.

    This made me wonder what murderer Jonathan Ross has been up to. Apparently he and his family are in hiding. It’s not what it should be, him in jail, but it is encouraging that his decision to murder someone has led to actual consequences for him. The people had to do it since the system most certainly will not.

      Republicans likely have funded putting him away and out of sight in some nice hotel while they figure out what to do about the situation.

      They have no idea what to do about the situation. I just watched Kristi Noem basically set herself on fire on Jake Tapper. The emperor demanded she fall on her blade and she’s so weak and pathetic that she did it.
