A wee bit sad that people say this now when immigrants have pretty much always been legally required to have their papers. It is shit but has always been shit.

Hell even in Ireland a legal alien must always have their residence permit with them.

The kid looks white tho. The people being killed are white too. ICE are terrorist organization

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

This isn't how our law enforcement is supposed to work we're not supposed to prove anything to them. They have to attain enough evidence to arrest someone. The burden of proof is on them, what probable cause did they have to arrest that boy? Is he going to get a probable cause hearing. Is that dhs asshat going to file a report?

Christ!

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 48 points 3 days ago (5 children)

So the administration has quadrupled down on saying they are only going after thugs and criminals and narco terrorists and then they snatch little kids off the street? Because they can't prove they are a citizen? There isn't a single person on that ICE squad that can confidently tell me that they carried their identification on them at all times as a kid.

Republicans, what the fuck is wrong with you? Wake the fuck up and help us stop this insanity.

Don't look up "Kids in cages, ICE"

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They also just publicly executed another person in Minneapolis this morning. Murderers.

Every hang around a 7 year old, with all their 6-7 shit, and what not? They're ALL little terrorists.

Good think ICE is here to round up all these terrorist children and babies.

Republicans don't see a child, they see a racial slur.

Most republicans are even bigger cowards than ICE.

In sophisticated circles, we call that a "shithole country"

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 176 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Some more evidence this is motivated by racism and evil (I know, redundant to say) is that if there was even an ounce of logic in these fuckers heads they would either escort the kid home, or tail/surveil him to identify his home, then grab the whole family.

This is not how you would run an organized campaign actually attempting to achieve their stated goals. This is intentionally causing extra emotional distress and chaos.

I know, I know, that's been the obvious case the whole time. Just had to get this scream into the void.

Like, I don't get how anyone could support this. Even the racists. If you want these people out why would you cheer for such an obviously horrifically mismanaged clusterfuck? Ugh.

Reality needs to get some better writers, this shit is getting too unbelievable.

[–] mtpender@piefed.social 84 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're just straight-up Brown Shirts at this point, the chaos is the point. What's funnier to me is that they think they wont be given the "Night of the Long Knives" treatment.

I hope the families of all these ICE "heros" see this pic and understand that their sons and daughters in ICE are shitbags and that they themselves utterly failed as parents and citizens. Any group that gets their jollies off of abusing minors needs to be dealt with harshly.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, but the sorts of parents that raise people who ultimately join ICE already know they did a shit job of parenting, and don't care. They don't need more proof.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That kid doesn't look like the 'worst of the worst' to me.

Please can people provide reputable sources for random images like this? At this point, to me, it's just ragebait.

Seems the photographer Mostafa Bassim sells his photos on gettyimages:

The text from the photographer on gettyimages:

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, U.S. â" JANUARY 12: U.S. Border Patrol agents question a person who appears to be a minor before arresting him during immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota, U.S., January 12, 2026. (Photo by Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu via Getty Images)

Here's another bunch of photos of the same boy (found on page three from the first gettyimages link):

We need to extradite ICE agents to the home countries of their victims. Let them stand trial there, in a place they may actually face justice.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 points 3 days ago (8 children)

The home country of many (if not most) of their victims is the USA.

Sure, ICE are inhumane nazi monsters, but extraditing them to that god forsaken shithole would evidently count as cruel and unusual, even for the likes of them.

Not only that, but “justice” there is a tragic parody of itself; they'd inevitably end up back on the streets.

Don't overcomplicate it. Just put them down like the rabid pigs they are, and then go for the even more monstrous bastards that sicced them on the streets.

They KIDNAPPED a Child in Plain Daylight? At LEAST Kristi Noem and The Trump Administration are doing EVERYTHING in Their Powers to ENSURE that these Kids are Well taken care of by Trained Professionals and ARENT being Sent to Private Prisons that Law Enforcement and Lawmakers ARENT Allowed into! And it's probably JUST a Coincidence they've DEFUND the Part of the FBI INVESTIGATING Child Sex Crimes!

Well, at this point, America has no spine whatsoever, if they can kidnap and rape your kids in broad daylight, what is there to live for?

Anyway, they aren't normal nazis that are after inferior races, or whatever bs they want. These people are actively after the deaths of their own citizens, all of them. Because they want to EXTERMINATE humanity.

Fuck ICE but this pic and specific wording sets off my gen AI Facebook bullshit detector.
Who took that photo and got away? The linked photographer doesn't exist. If they did, why did a different account post this, and knows what was said verbatim? What is the guy on the left holding?
What's written on his chest patch?

Edit: Correction - The photographer does exist. Can't find this pic on his socials (which are set to not show anything at least for the public) or his website. That thing on the left does look like a weapon (but I can't tell which), and there are no 100% clear AI tells in the picture, except it all seems a bit "off" to me, and too perfectly composed to match the very specific and cliche message text.

Fuck, this shit is getting harder and harder. If there's one thing AI is getting good at, it's lying, and manipulating social media algorithms in a way that even legit human posters are pushed to imitate its style. So stay critical even if you agree with the message, and please excuse my premature assessment.

Edit: 2: Pic is legit, sorry for the mistake!: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/ice-descends-on-minneapolis/?hl=en-GB

[–] Waldelfe@feddit.org 20 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The photo seems to be zoomed in on a smartphone camera. Looks to me like the person who took the picture stood further away and used a digital zoom. And the guy on the left is holding a weapon. The chest patch of the guy on the left is at an angle where you can't read it anyway. I don't see signs of AI, just a low quality, zoomed in smartphone picture.
