Since Dec 4, you’ve only seen one SUV that might have been ICE?

The kidnappings, home invasions, murders are all exaggerations?

[–] mossberg590@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

FFS, are you trying to be a troll? Seeing ICE multiple times a day is an exaggeration. Any whistle on TV/ song gets people looking for ICE is an exaggeration. Most people here haven't seen ICE even driving by.

Yes, ICE is detaining people illegally then releasing them without any phone or means home.

Yes, they were breaking into homes without a judicial warrant. That has fallen way off since Homan. They shifted tactics to more subtle means.

Yes, they killed multiple people and there is no faith that it is being investigated. Those things get big media attention and you have seen most of them.

Everything you said is traumatizing. That's not normal and really bad.

[–] mossberg590@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Agreed. But the list made it seem like a war zone. I agreed with parts and disagreed with other parts. This is all from my perspective as well, but that should be a given.

? So . . . what’s your point then? ICE’s tactics embody fascism in America but it’s not that bad? It’s only happening a little bit?

Breaking into homes without a warrant “falling off” . . . what, cool?

No, their point is that the post is full of lies. Not all lies, and plenty of the lies are based in truths. But they're still objectively untrue. I also live in the Twin Cities and can verify that businesses have their doors open (who could imagine 🙄), people aren't scared by music (???), I haven't heard a helicopter in weeks (they never stop? C'mon, even during the George Floyd riots that wasn't true and there were way more then), there aren't government checkpoints in the middle of Eat Street, and the only cars on the side of the road with their hazards on are inexperienced and/or idiotic drivers who can't handle winter roads. The post sounds deliberately written to make people think this shit is post-apocalyptic here. Not true and not helpful.

I live in Minneapolis. If this motherfucker only saw one ICE vehicle, then they never went outside.

It was this bad, but it has lessened a bit recently. However, they still haven't left, they are still patrolling, and they are still kidnapping people.

Yeah, there is fear still. There is paranoia still. There is anger still. There were checkpoints to look for ICE. There were face checks at schools. Fucking... These ICE pieces of shit were stalking school bus stops! Bus drivers were doing loops until they left!!! Those kids were so confused and scared.

I personally saw multiple of these stake outs. Apartment buildings, schools, restaurants, stores, and bus stops. They always say they're looking for some criminal, but it fucking never is. It's always some guy with 3 kids who is getting home from work. Or some woman whose husband was already deported.

Nah, the OP wasn't exaggerating. Fuck ICE.

Oh yeah, helicopters. Nope. No more than normal meaning a couple a day; news and medi-flights. The media would LOVE to show some morons rapelling down from a helicopter.

They did that in Chicago, right? When that one ICE guy made history by saying “fuck them kids”.
