Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The bystanders, two women, who questioned the ICE agents and stood between them and their target outside the general district court Tuesday also wore face masks. ICE says the pair will face federal obstruction charges.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office intends to prosecute those individuals,” ICE said.

Brian McGinn, the spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia, had nothing to add.

"We cannot confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation," he told The Daily Progress.

The two women appear to be volunteers with the Immigration Rapid Response Hotline, a public service promoted by several civil rights and immigrant support groups. A witness to the Tuesday raid told The Daily Progress that the hotline had been called when the ICE agents were spotted.

if they're dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas, how's a reasonable law abiding citizen to know whether they're cops or minorities?

based on the person they're kidnapping, if you see a white person getting kidnapped by strangers in baklavas it's probably me.

Bit idea: standing trial for shooting ICE agents because you thought they were AUNTIEVAH trying to kidnap our patriots and take them away to Pizza Hut.

Eventually they are going to pull some shit in someone's house and get Castle Doctorined.

Been telling my family about this and they've been scared shitless. I dont see why blasting these pigs to dust would be an issue.

You could even use a libertarian defense to get the right wingers creaming
