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.)

      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.

        Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig’s Wormtail, 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.

            But you… I hope you die at age 249 after breaking the record for most orgasms, then pass away peacefully in your sleep surrounded by loved ones and soft animals… (the animals were not involved in the prior activity)

          I watched most of the people i love die of cancer.

          I feel like it’s pretty much what they deserve.

          I hope they die of treatable cancer, because no doctor will touch them. That would hurt worse. I’ve been on the edge of death a couple times, and the ones where nobody could have helped didn’t hurt emotionally anywhere near as bad as the ones where anybody could have fixed it.

            not so fun fact, non healing burns/scars /wounds are known to cause rare form of skin cancer(agressive SCC), yess squamous cell cancer can be quite deadly, if it forms from a burn scar.

          You’d better stick with a different choice, no sense tempting an evil rebound. But I think I’m gonna start casting colon cancer on orangeface fatfuck. Maybe a few massive blood clots to go with it. Why can you never find a lump of polonium when you need it?

            I think you’re attacking the symptom rather than the disease.

            And i think they chose inhumanity. To call them human would not only be an insult to us, but disregarding their own self identification and chosen identity.

    Westbury: “in Latino-heavy New York suburbs.”

    Ummmmmmmm… Unless Westbury changed in the 6 months since I’ve been there, it’s a really wealthy area. Not that Latinos can’t be wealthy, but my dad lives there, I’m literally going there Sunday. I wouldn’t exactly describe it as Latino-heavy, unless you aim to describe the entirety of Long Island as Latino-heavy…

        Indeed. Which honestly the characterization of Long Island as being “Latino-heavy” isn’t exactly wrong. Everywhere I’ve worked (almost all of my work history is blue collar) I’m side by side with a not insignificant number of them. I’m honestly glad I took my father’s advice and learned some Spanish in highschool, because it has been handy at work although admittedly I’ve forgotten most of it lol

      Well, they are succeeding in making me fearful enough to feel I need a gun. Doubt I’ll get one. Too many mental health concerns in the house. But this shit will come to a head and it’ll be what it is, just with more fresh and violence.

          I’m taking action in unarmed ways. Floated the idea of a gun past my wife and she was vehemently against it. Sometimes she just needs to sit with an idea for a bit so she might come around. Ironically she has more experience with a pistol than me. I’ve basically only fired an M-16.

          We’ll see what happens today. Once the government starts shooting people, or the civilian Nazis do, I think the die is cast. I think the necessity will be clear. But it might be too late at that point.

    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.

        Not the crash itself. But the direct aftermath. They see something happened down the street and start going there.

        As for the agents fuckery, they get yelled at on the street outside the school and look like shocked deer at an approaching car.

      Well, they’re supposed to snatch innocent people, kids, break apart families, so I think it’s granted they must be some kind of sadistic psychopaths.

      After that, the way they try to get around the illegality of what they’re doing suggests they’re also very, very, very dumb.

      I think it’s a case of psychopathy and the fact that some of these people TRULY don’t see black and brown people as people. The dehumanization is truly complete to the point that they really don’t understand that they’re PEOPLE, with thoughts and feelings.

        Make waiting too long to quit the job ruin their lives, and the lives of anyone around them.

        Anyone who fucks them, serves them coffee, gives them a loan, treats their injuries, or rents them a room at a coffin hotel, should be made to regret it.
