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.

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

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

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Your generalizations, friend, cut me to the quick.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 4 points 1 month ago

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

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 18 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 19 points 1 month ago

not the suspects

Irrelevant. No one is safe in that nation.

[-] vimmiewimmie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

that nation What nation do you live in?

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

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

Trump's brown shirts terrorizing Americans.

[-] rocket_dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Trump's brown shirts terrorizing minors in their underwear.

I'm disgusted but I'm not surprised.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Probably high fived each other back at the station.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 1 month ago

I'm such a nerd I read this as Brown Coats and thought "why would they be terrorizing anyone?"

Anyone tries invading my home without a warrant is going to get what they deserve.

[-] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

I mean... they claimed they had a warrant. But who the hell knows. They seem to be happy to lie about that lately. And since they show up when everyone's in bed and bash the door in before you can even respond, how would you know?

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

in my case both the front and the back door have two doors with deadbolts and stairs to climb so you're going to be pretty loud before you get to me and I'm going to be ready with a shotgun... but yeah I'd rather it didn't happen.

[-] Moose@moose.best 4 points 1 month ago

Likely they had an administrative warrant that doesn't allow for a search like a judical warrant does.

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 6 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[-] lemmylump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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.

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.
