without showing a warrant

I'm so tired of the legalist caveat, implying a Trump judge rubber stamping warrants for these gestapo shits would have made kidnapping and torturing a woman and her infant child acceptable.

[-] mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml 62 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It's a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn't ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

I believe this a part of the plan.

The woman’s teen daughter was left holding the woman’s baby and stood in front of the car in an apparent attempt to stop it. After handing the child to another person, she allegedly kicked the car—and was also reportedly arrested on four charges, including child endangerment. Police have not disclosed what happened to the baby afterward.

fuck you

[-] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

Yeah, police have a ton of latitude when they decide who to press which charges on and who they just let go with warnings or whatever, choosing to throw child endangerment at this girl is just straight up trolling

[-] Stamau123@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

Like getting blood on a uniform and getting 'assaulting an officer' added

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

Yeah i think she was the one endangering the child not the fucking trump SS agents

[-] arrow74@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

And the mayor had the audacity to say they don't agree with what ICE did.

That's great, but maybe get your police force to stop enabling their actions.

Big, strong, well trained men in tactical gear pushing, threatening and arresting women and children ..... and they wouldn't go into any actual threatening situations to deal with actual violent crimes.

Bunch of cowards going after the weakest in society ..... classic yellow bellied fascism.

[-] puddinghelmet@feddit.nl 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Looks like Germany during the 1940s, when people were also dragged from their homes. Good luck y'all

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Reporting in from Poland (Canada). We are so fucked I don't think enough people realize it yet.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Yep, fascism has to have an in-group and an out-group. As they work through the groups of immigrants, trans people, Democrats, etc they need to find new ones to persecute. They'll work through their own undesirables and then they're coming for us.

It's just like Nazi Germany in the 30s. It didn't take long for Hitler to turn his eyes on Poland.

He will come for us. His talks of the 51st state are not a joke or a bluff. People are not taking it seriously enough.

“We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.

Actually, yea. You do. Or its just assault and kidnapping. Official paperwork is not privileged or secret. That idiot should be fired along with his chain of command.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Actually, yea. You do

For now.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

No. They do no matter what. Once they tread on the Fourth the grumblings about resistance, rebellion, or revolt become a legal defense of our Constitutional rights. These people immediately get "promoted" and become a demest8c threat to the Constitution. It would then become open hunting season on ICE, with defending the Constitution becoming the legal defense. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because ICE is targeting weak willed areas. They are moving fast and they also happen to be getting a large percentage of illegals with only occasional "mistakes".

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

We don't know if they're actually getting any "illegals"

Helpful neighbor: "No, I'm with ICE and I'm arresting you motherfuckers."

*We all get to pretend to be ICE or whatever the fuck if there's no requirement to prove who you are

So kidnapping and the police are in on it?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 44 points 1 month ago

In some cities they are working with ICE, yes.
You can search for which cities formally have an agreement with ICE here:

If you are ICE, fuck you. You should be ashamed. Your parents should be ashamed

If you are someone who stands by while these cosplayers are kidnapping and torturing people, then you deserve your place in hell

[-] arrow74@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

And to the police that showed up to arrest their neighbors and enable ICE I hope hell is real because you deserve worse

Can't wait till people start shooting ICE and the police on sight because they were pushed too far.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't happened yet. They're probably staying out of the most sketchy neighborhoods.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is exactly it. They're specifically targeting people they know can't or won't fight back, like literal kids with cancer.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

The best way is if everyone arms themselves. Then if the incident happens, several people shoot and immediately run. Plan your escape before shooting.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It really seems like they're hitting blue states hardest and where gun ownership is less common.

How does America have so many cowards willing to do this job?

[-] piefood@feddit.online 28 points 1 month ago

I've known plenty of them. They sign up specifically because they want to do this job. Rember the dumb bullies from school? Imagine what happens when they grow up.

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 month ago

Are you kidding me? Think of every maga you've seen with aggressive, hateful, pro-Trump anti-biden anti-immigration signs and such in their yards and on the back of their cars.

Every one of them with any kind of prior training and probably thousands upon thousands more without would punch their mother in the face for the chance to be given a badge and paycheck to get rid of brown people.

They are probably turning down 10x more people than they could even consider hiring.

The US is full of bigots and white supremacists, and it's more visible now than at any time in my nearly six decades of life.

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I don't engage with them being outside the US but we do have a 'Maple MAGA' here which is similar.

Terrifying to hear that there are many in the US that are eager to do this type of work.

There needs to be a citizens APB tool so when this happens people can swarm the scene and block them from leaving or backup entering.

[-] antisocialite@lemmy.today 29 points 1 month ago

There's close up footage you should watch because it's madness. They throw the teen girl on the ground and assault a bunch of people.

[-] puddinghelmet@feddit.nl 27 points 1 month ago
[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

MAGA is the movement, GOP is the party and ICE is the goon squad. Deportation apparatus is operational. Media cooptation, military buildup and foreign bullying is incomplete, but underway. All in all, their evil campaign still lacks scale and foresight, but they're getting there. Opposition so far is not much more than the eye movement of the deer in the headlights.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Also arrested was Ashley Spring, a Worcester School Committee candidate and local resident, who police say pushed officers and threw an “unknown liquid” on them.

At least someone in the group stood up to them. If there's a go fund me I'll definitely donate.

Mayor Joseph Petty called the incident “devastating”: “As someone who prides themselves on leading a welcoming city, I am devastated to hear about the separation of a family, especially with Mother’s Day around the corner. The fear of ICE tearing a family apart is the worst nightmare of so many in our city.”

Mayor makes a phone call to the DA, then.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

City Police were on the scene and instead of stopping the kidnapping by ICE they subdued citizens trying to stop it. Get fucked Mayor Petty.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Mayor should stop talking about his feelings and get off his tail and do something about it.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

These idiot gestapo are going encounter people with guns one of these days and wish they had just stayed home.

[-] QueenFern@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Fuck them up. Let's hope it gets worse for these gestapo fucks. Take heads.

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

MA state leaders are cowards, they know the cops support Trump and gladly lie to us about it

[-] Xbeam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Fuck the Mayor too. Your city is not welcoming when you run a police force that supports this.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And the governor. She's supporting this, for some fucking reason (jk, it's because she's a conservative democrat).

[-] brewery@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

They won. They got exactly what they wanted, plus anybody who tried to intervene got arrested along the way. From the headline I thought it would be more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcoXdZeabA . There's still massive problems here and our version of ICE have got away with a lot but thankfully nowhere near this stage
