Article doesn't say if they nabbed anyone.

Sounds like they got chased out before they managed to. Hope I'm right. Good on those locals for stepping up.

Saw a video, it was just intimidation/show of force/get people used to it/photo op.

Was Kristi Noem with them filming a commercial?

It wouldn't matter if they did or not, we all know what they're there to do and that is deserving of condemnation and ridicule at the bare minimum. If you willingly work for ICE you don't get to clutch pearls when the communities you terrorize respond rationally in self defense.

Those poor, defenseless, baby agents. Do the wee-woo babbies need they diapies changed and a bawdle? Do they need a binky and a nappy time?

Is this meant to suggest that hurtful words are worse than actual physical violence using 'less than lethal' weapons that routinely maim and permanently upend American lives? Or is it just an accident resulting from journalistic malpractice? Is there a difference?

I love (/s) the bad faith application of verbiage here, like you hurl the word poopybutt with your arm and it obliterated the face of the harmless masked abductor waving their GUN at you... This could be a dark Onion article, and I thought commondreams was worth a bit more. Consider my mind changed.

Do you think they caught them and threw them back? Like playing catch?
