ICE is in my town and they almost tried to kidnap my mom's friend.

[Initech]

Who is a legal US citizen who has a passport and Real ID. But there was some asshole in the parking lot of a nearby store who wwas wearing tacitcal and was basically stalking her on her way to her car.

Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who voted for this shit.

[sakabatou]

1. Any ICE activity should be reported as a possible kidnapping to the police

[Initech]

2. Agreed. However I live in a very MAGA area with a MAGA sheriff.

So...

[sakabatou]

7. "Do you want to be complicit in a kidnapping, or will you actually pursuit the criminals?"

[Initech]

9. I counter that with:

"Some of those who work forces

Are the same that burn crosses"

Yes, fuck ICE, but the real bad guys are the ones in the GOP who made this shit a reality. And that's everyone from top to bottom.

[sakabatou]

10. Yeah I get it

I might go full scorched earth, and write to the biggest newspapers telling them how [insert city] police are complicit in possible kidnappings by doing nothing to stop or investigate them.

That might shake things.

3. Serious question

Was it just a single guy? All the abductions I've read and seen video of have been multiple people, probably due to anticipation of bystanders assisting the victim.

[Initech]

5. I don't know, just heard this story, don't know a lot of the details yet.

But it sounds to me like it's not ICE but an ICE impersonator.

[Gimpyknee]

12. That's a stretch.

[Shipwack]

13. No it's not.

If it were only a single person, then it’s likely an impersonator. The ICE-bags travel in groups.

[Rebl2]

21. Right

They don’t normally operate as one individual, but as a group.

[Irish_Dem]

4. There are some young non white people in my family.

If ICE comes after these kids I am afraid what I might do.

What happened with your Mom's friend at the end?
Did she get away, or have to fight ICE?

[Initech]

6. Yeah she got away but this is scary AF.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes. It is terrifying.

[Skittles]

11. that's part of the fascist playbook

INSTILL FEAR

[bdamomma]

14. ICE????

don't you mean those 1,600 insurrectionists who the felon pardoned???? That's why they remain masked. They must be getting $$$$$$$ for how many people they can detain and most of them are NOT criminals.

[Initech]

18. It was never about deporting criminals or gangs. It's about ethnic cleansing.

[bdamomma]

25. That

bastard Stephen Miller should be brought up everyday, he's the architect. Vile evil POS. He has mental health issues, don't they all???? They like to take revenge on others for their own self lackings of decency. His own family doesn't have anything to do with him.

[Initech]

26. Don't forget Steve Bannon!

That shitbag should be rotting in prison for the rest of his sorry life.

[W T F]

15. Ask them for name and badge#. If they don't give it to you after two requests, call 911 and tell them that there's a man

Impersonating police officer and he has a gun

[bdamomma]

30. I read

about that too. People have been doing it too, it seems to work. The information needs to be given to out to everyone. I mean everyone.

16. RealID and Citizenship have almost nothing to do with each other.

Residency does have to be affirmed, citizenship, not so much.

Noncitizens lawfully admitted for permanent or temporary residence, noncitizens with conditional permanent resident status, noncitizens with an approved application for asylum, and noncitizens who have entered the United States as refugees are eligible for a full-term REAL ID license or identification card.

https://www.tsa.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs

REAL ID Documentation for Non-U.S. Citizens
Unexpired Employment Authorization Card (EAD) issued by DHS; Forms I-766 or Form 1-688B
Valid, Unexpired Permanent Resident Card I-551 Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) Issued by DHS or INS
Unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired U.S. visa affixed, and an I-94 indicating temporary evidence of permanent residence
Social security number or original copy of SSA ineligibility letter
Two documents that show proof of residency

[Oopsie Daisy]

17. And... Fuck everyone who sabotaged the election.

We know who they are.

[Initech]

24. And now Marge Shit For Brains is proposing a new census and redistricting.

Fuck.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Amen.

[Rebl2]

20. I am

hearing more stories of individuals dressed as possible ice agents who are not ice agents just trying to kidnap women to do god knows what to them.

[Dan]

22. I heard from a friend - not sure if it is true or not

That POTUS says "He said, the only citizens born in the U.S. is slaves, they were born slaves" and whatever that means.

But, because of our history in this nation - once they start kidnapping Black folks - that is when the shit is going to hit the fan. Because most folks I know will assume that white people in Masks trying to force them into a vehicle are up to no good. As uncle used to say - better judged by 12 than carried by 6.

23. My grandkids are coming to visit and im scared to death since they are flying.

Their Dad is Mexican so they have Mexican last names. And my grandson is married to a Japanese girl. I'm so afraid ICE is going to hassel them at the least and detain them at the most. And I hope they have nothing on their phones that will trigger someone.

[dflprincess]

27. My nephew & his family just flew back from Mexico last week.

They were down there visiting his wife's dad and other family. His wife is a citizen but she kept her last name; the kids use a hyphenated version of the two last names. Both my sister-in-law and I fretted until they got home.

They had a non-stop flight from Mexico City to Minneapolis. I don't know if it helped coming through customs in Minneapolis rather than close to the border or not, but they had no issues. My nephew said the TSA/Custom people barely paid them any attention.

[Figarosmom]

28. Thanks that helps

They will be flying from Seattle to Milwaukee and Charlotte to Milwaukee .

[Bayard]

29. I know what you mean

I worry for my niece's husband and their young daughter. Hubby was born here, U.S. citizen, and ex-Army Ranger, but parents from El Salvador. My great niece is the spitting image of her Dad. Beautiful black hair and dark eyes. Hispanic last name. Good Democrats.

Its outrageous that we must have these fears now.

[bdamomma]

31. They

want us to fear, but we must resist. Just reading your post, I think Diversity is beautiful. I hate this regime.
