We all knew they would start wholesale hunting, imprisonment, torture, and murder of antifascists eventually.
Nothings changed. Antifascists need to be prepared for the inevitable now more than ever.
The number of missing persons cases in the US is around 600,000 each year. 533,936 NCIC missing person files in 2024. (Statista) I'm sure undocumented people would be less likely to be reported missing as well. I would be completely unsurprised to learn there were ICE squads disappearing people with no official record of it.
You are misrepresenting the data here.
This is basically a total number of all open missing persons cases, not number of cases per year. This represents all open cases within the past 34 years. If we assume an equal rate of missing persons cases per year that becomes about 18,000 people a year.
If you actually look at your data you'll see a pretty sharp decrease in missing persons cases since the 90s.
We know ICE is committing illegal actions daily, so what's the point in trying to misrepresent data and pin this on them anyway? Even if the argument is so many people go missing its easy for ICE to dissappear people, it falls apart quickly when you look at the actual numbers. They wouldn't be able to dissappear many people before causing a significant increase in missing persons reports. 9,000 people would be a 50% increase. There are a lot more than that dissenting right now.
I'm not misinterpreting, maybe you read before I edited the phrasing to make it more clear, I understand this is the number of total open cases each year which is why it's relatively consistent, cases open and close.
I wasn't suggesting anything about the number of people they could potentially be taking, just that there are thousands of unsolved cases of missing people each year.

What’s new is that the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them — all of them part of a supposed left-wing conspiracy to violently oppose the president’s agenda.
ICE has powerful tools to crack down on people opposing the administration’s policies. It can trawl the internet for people holding anti-ICE views. It can track the locations where protesters and activists gather and identify their networks of friends and family. It can identify protesters using facial recognition. It may even be able to hack into phones. Information collected through these tools will be added to the Department of Homeland Security’s vast stores of information for potential future use. And all these data streams can be combined to develop detailed dossiers on people who are not suspected of any crime.
For too long, laws have failed to keep up with surveillance technology. Many are decades old and designed to prevent the government from listening to landline phone calls or reading emails. They do not protect free speech and privacy rights against persistent surveillance through social media monitoring, facial recognition, and location tracking. As a result, the government can easily turn these tools against anyone and everyone, with scant safeguards. Now, ICE is announcing that it plans to make this risk a reality for the swath of Americans who oppose the Trump administration’s agenda.
Come and get me, motherfuckers.
Quo vadis USA?
That's what happens if you give sad little kids tremendous power instead of love and therapy.
instead of love and therapy.
Way too late for that. But i honestly think if he was loved as a child nobody outside of upper class new york would have ~~known his name~~ heard of him.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a recent interview that his agency intended to probe anti-fascist and anti-ICE protesters and those that support them. “We are going to track the money. We are going to track these ringleaders.” He went on to claim, without evidence, that many of the protesters in Chicago were “professional agitators that are being brought in.”
Why bother, just listen to any right wing political commentator over the last 10 years, it's all George Soros right?
god they look stupid. why is the only thing they don't copy from nazi germany consistent uniforms?
Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.
It is sort of funny, part of the reason Nazi ideology has the lasting power it does is probably because of their aesthetics and intimidating/'strong' fascist image, but when people look at ICE and MAGA in the future (and today) they'll be like "wow look at these losers."
The Negotiatior
Aye don't forget about his sidekick, PoPo!
Hard to tell from the image quality but it looks like he could be wearing something like Meta Glasses that record and display info, good reminder that if you are going to interact with these goons you should always expect they could be filming you.
So if I ever go to USA for some reason, and I see these guys, I just start stripping?
🗿
I want to call him The Brightest Person of ICE and turn him into emoji.
It's all from Temu and Amazon
I wonder how it would be if the protesters and observers bought the same shit off of Amazon and such and wore it while monitoring these Nazi bastards.
As someone who collects actual surplus like a particularly demented crow. I would not lower myself to such pitiful standards, also my shit would actually work even if it is 40 years out of date minimum.

That's been happening.
Well I haven't seen it, but I'd like to see a lot more if it is.

GOV X DOT COM !
So they look like a criminal gang instead of an official government agency. Makes them easier to confuse with home invaders that can be shot.
It's because they bought it all themselves from different companies because none of this was thought out or planned in any way.
🍿 will the US implode before it can start a world war?
Find out in 2-3 weeks.
I'm slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.
I've been thinking that for weeks now.
Nah, most people in the US have no idea any of this is going on. For the vast majority of Americans, their daily lives have not been affected at all. None of my coworkers are talking about ICE. Personally I haven't seen* a single ICE officer since Trump entered office. They only go after the "liberal" states. Purple and Red states are being left alone for the time being.
Reminds me of that poem. How does it go again? "First they came for the...."

SS baby
Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Yeah, no shit.
I’m sure palantir has a list for them. Vance already said they’re going to start going door to door and they have absolute immunity
If they come to my door I'm going to see how immune they are to a Beretta 1301. Because I'm not getting disappeared to a third world country for being brown.
