I kind of agree with you - up until the point that ICE started just shooting people in the face with zero consequences (and please don’t trot out the self-defence BS). Let’s try your comment in 1938 Germany. Replace the word ICE with Gestapo.

also, what on earth does this DHS slogan mean? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/trump-administration-ends-tps-somalia https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/trump-admini... from a federal government agency heavily armed against unarmed non-violent protestors absolutely terrifying but that's the point I guess?

I hate the Gestapo comparisons because they are disrespectful to the Gestapo. Say what you will about them, at least they showed their faces.

  ICE is behaving like slave chasers, which inspired the Gestapo. The state of your country is homegrown yanqui fuckery. Should've finished the job you started in the civil war.

  Many people have died in ICE custody as well, several so far this year, so it's not as simple as just placing yourself in their custody and then you are safe.

    She didn't have to be there in the first place. It's not like she was just unintentionally in the middle of it. She sought out conflict with LEO.

      If ICE starts dragging your friends and neighbors out of their houses and cars and terrorizing your children at school, maybe you'll understand why she felt she had to be there. Or else, just try applying a bit of empathy.

      What about the American citizens having their homes invaded by ICE without even the faintest veneer of legality? Should they not have been at home and sought out conflict? And if you're an honest to god American saying she deserved to be shot and murdered by LEOs because she was in wrong place is the most non-American shit I've heard. It's blatently shitting on our constitutional rights.

  > Theres zero consequences because this was completely unambiguously a justified shoot. There's zero consequences (yet) because the federal government monopolized the evidence and refused to do either allow state authorities access or conduct a real investigation themselves despite clear indications that it was not a justified shoot, resulting in the resignation of several prosecutors in the division that would have handled such a misconduct case. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/federal-prosecutors-resign-minnesota-ice-shooting-probe-9.7044226 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/federal-prosecutors-resign-min...

Did you know the early nazis where actually impressed by america's segregation and racism and lamented they couldn't easily do the same? Well, they kinda did in the end.
