Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

I feel bad for the car.

It could've helped a member of the working class.

So they cover their faces but drive their own cars? Or am I missing something?

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

it's not clear from the except whether the nissan was a personal or federal vehicle (and I'm not clicking through more than one screen of cookies/adblock nonsense to read the rest of it)

[–] Klowner@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Do we know if they aren't just deputized proud boys?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a federal car that wasn’t Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge, you know, American brands. I mean there has to be some but I haven’t seen one.

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Their 'collateral arrests' game is going to get the plain clothed ICE agents killed. Don't blame the public when it happens. Blame the Border Czar.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 21 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I wanna work for ice so I can be the dude that leaks the raids.

It's an effective tactic that conservatives have been employing for decades.

The reason they hate schools so much is because they can't infiltrate them. They can't infiltrate them because they're genuinely too stupid to compete in academia, and even the ruling class recognizes how an effective educational system is needed to maintain their dominance.

I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.

[–] kayky@thelemmy.club 1 points 7 hours ago

100%. We should be encouraging them without identifying them.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 5 points 17 hours ago

One can only hope.

No place for fascism in NY!

As somebody from Western NY, this made me happy to read

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She gave them an arrest quota of 3,000 a day. Jesus christ

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig's ~~Wormtail~~ Wormtongue, whispering poison in his ear. He's hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It's time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.

Edit: Sorry, got my fantasy bad guys mixed up.

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 69 points 1 day ago (5 children)

ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it's scary as fuck to watch the world's most powerful state turn fascist.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Try being an American citizen with a history degree. I know where this leads, and I'm terrified.

[–] kayky@thelemmy.club 1 points 7 hours ago

I feel like my history teachers tried to warn us about this, but they couldn't say it directly and most of us didn't take the hint.

"Does history repeat itself?"

"Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it."

What they're really trying to get their students thinking is "do we learn from history?" And the answer is a big, fat, fuck no.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"That could never happen here!" — Most Americans.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

"It might be happening here, but its only happening to the bad guys!"

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

To see the Canadian government start pushing bills on immigration that are similar to those put in place to allow all this to happen in the US is terrifying as well. We voted in hopes of fending off this fascist takeover and yet here we are with Drumpfkins next door and our own "left" cooking the country.

The citizens of the world are under fire everywhere from fascism and even Nazism. We all need to stand up and fight back no matter where we live.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was always facist if you weren't white or straight

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I really hope that's a typo

Hoping no real people were injured.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 day ago

Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is the pickup truck ok?

"Ice agent feld from angry residents outside new york school" is so funny. I want to shake one of hte residents hands.

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

Sooo Federal officers get to flee scenes, guess insurance doesn't matter anymore.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 212 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn these ICE agents are a threat to everyone.

I watched most of the video clip. The agents all look kinda perplexed. As if they can’t understand that nearly any species alive will go nuts when you go for their offspring.

Guys, I think ICE agents are aliens.
