This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

“She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

Edit: So basically, she wouldn't show them her gold star. WTF country are we fucking living in.

A racist one

Edit: no lie, my phone autocorrected Fascist to racist (I probably fucked the spelling). Accurate both ways

[-] xzot746@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

And fascist don't forget that part!

It's quite sad to watch the decline of America.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Why would they bother with the license if the ICE facial app scan said she was an immigrant? I thought it was absolute and infallible...

[-] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

Too many eyes

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I really hope there's an american nuremberg, and i hope they claim they were just following orders, because as with the original nazis, that's been proven to not be a valid excuse. I hope these cunts go to prison for the rest of their lives.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ahh. But that was for Germans. Just following orders is a valid excuse for Americans, as the war crimes trials during the vietnam spanking made clear.

All ICE agents should be treated with nothing but disdain and ridicule for the rest of their lives. We need a running list of their identities so they can be ostracized. Monuments should be built at Arlington so they can join Robert E. Lee in their shame. Make it a public urinal, right at the entrance.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think there's a website/database for this already

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

They should all be hunted down

Uhg. FTA:

"She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!"

None of that is a reason to believe she's not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they're an undocumented immigrant.

Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.

Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

It is important because of the reason they cite.

By going after this woman, they're making it clear to MAGA folk that allowing the rights of minorities to be eroded also removes their own protection. Even racist assholes should be appalled at the civil rights violations being committed.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maga folks have been brainless since 2015

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

They were also brainless as Tea Party folks since 2008.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maga is just another way of saying conservative and they have been brainless way longer than that.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They'll just say "some innocents will be inconvenienced." Remember they don't understand until they are hurt personally.

It makes a point of slapping people who truly believe, even now, that all the ICE activity thus far has been against illegals.

Illegal only. For real. They believe that.

A maga relative in landscaping was mystified as to why half his employees had either left or were leaving and weren’t coming back for the next season. In his words: they’re believing all the lies and hype being spewed by the media.

In his mind, even now, ICE is only doing their job: removing people here illegally. Because media can’t be believed and is filled not with lies but terrible twisting of the truth.

So putting a face on this, that looks like MAGA, is about all that’s left to try to get their attention.

Yes, yes, yes! But also, it's particularly notable that she's white and blond with no accent because they claim to their supporters to be protecting those specific people from "illegals." Pointing out that they're not only doing something awful but also defying their own stated principles is always a good thing to do.

Only a truly sick society would allow this

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

A society steeped in misinformation and propaganda ultimately embraces fascism

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sick from poison, no doubt, but sick nonetheless. I hope there's a cure that opens their eyes some day, but it won't come from a TV screen.

[-] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

The cure to misinformation and propaganda is critical thinking and the scientific method

We have the tools. We need the talent.

[-] Bigfish@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Exercise doesn't cure poison. Using individual tools like critical thinking can help you avoid internalizing the misinformation and propaganda, but it sure doesn't inoculate you from it. We need to cut it out at its source and find ways to ensure it doesn't get replatformed. Otherwise the toxin is there, just waiting for a day when you're not on alert, slowly poisoning your mind.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's been allowed under the laws for a long time, it's just like everything else been a polite agreement not to do things like that. The constitution isn't really suited for actors in bad faith in all parts of the government.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Jail. For all these ICE assholes and everyone above them.

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

Had to check the date on the article because this is not the first woman in scrubs on her way to work being yanked out of a car while telling ICE that she is a citizen.

We live in a dystopian hell and for some reason we keep acting like it’s all fine.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Since when do we have to show our papers to the secret police?

Prison sentences for ICE agents who participate. There is no excuse.

It's just too bad there wasn't one of those responsible gun owners around to prevent terrorists from kidnapping a civilian. Speaking of, where are all of these gun toting Americans that believe they have them to defend America? Fucking cowards.

obvious fedpost, but we need a socialist revolution here in the us. seriously!

[-] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

These fools are fucking around and about to find out.

Their force will be met with greater force.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent.

She was eventually let go.

The first one is why the second one happened.

[-] Cargon@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

MAGA (R)etards were holding the skin color chart upside down.

[-] Vijfsnippervijf@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

These ICE agents deserve the worst possible sentence. Especially as they caused many forced disappearances, which are crimes against humanity.
