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.

Good. Nazis should fear every moment of their life.

Turns out beating and abducting your friends and neighbors doesn't win any popularity contests.

Unmask the fuckers.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

As they should be. Should've behaved themselves from the beginning

[-] _t_o_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

May they never know a day of peace for the rest of their pathetic Nazi lives. When this is over we need 100 years of leftist McCarthyism and COINTELPRO

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Long overdue to finish Reconstruction.

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.

[-] dublet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

the good work ICE has done

[citation needed]

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They consider murder, torture, and terror “good work.”

They mean “Renee Good work.”

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Nazis routinely have more faith in Democrats (to do things they hate and I approve of) than i do.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Bro can't even count, it's been two decades of ICE

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Its a cult

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If detaining and abusing 70% nonviolent offenders is "good work" then yeah, I hope it's the last job they ever manage to get.

Not scared enough if they haven't resigned.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, ex Ice should still be fairly worried.

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You mean murderer Jonathan Ross, the piece of shit who brutally murdered and shot to death Renee Good?

[-] AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

ICE agents deserve to be terrified

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Saffire@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

But not terrified enough to quit being Nazis, apparently.

[-] 4th_Times_A_Charm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Just need 2 or 3 to be put on the wall for them to start to get the picture id imagine

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Good. I hope you never get a good night's sleep again.

Especially once you're tucked in next to Big Bubba behind bars where you deserve to be...

[-] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I hope these guys end up spending their lives in fear and get pulled out of their retirement homes like all those nazi war criminals. No quarter.

I’m a hiring manager where I work. All future open roles will be “ice alumni need not apply” & my boss supports me in this.

Come to think of it maybe my next protest sign will say something to that effect. Get my buddy with a megaphone to spell it out for them since I guess not a lot of them actually read all that well?

[-] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Good job!

Once they leave ICE, the only thing open to them should be living under a bridge. Leave them to rely on the kindness of their fellow humans.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Good, may they never get a full nights sleep ever again.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I want these bastards to be hunted down and put to the rope. They earned their hate.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Bullshit. They need to feel real fear.

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They think they can take off their uniforms and everyone will forget what they've done. They should be marked like the Nazis in inglorious bastards.

They should be terrified. Since all this kicked off, I now sleep with a loaded 9mm and an AR-15 by my bed. Ain't no way I'm letting these fools in my house.

They need to feel fear

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Hey ICE agents: quit.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

They haven't quit yet, so not scared enough.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No one is forcing them to suit up today, tomorrow, or the day after that. They are at will employed. The employment can be terminated by either party at any time for any reason.

If you're fearing for your life, and suiting up to be a Nazi, color me unsympathetic. Take off the uniform, stop playing with your Nazi friends, and hope to fuck the masses never discover what you were up to at the start of 2026.
