Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

Not as much fear as the people whose doors your busting down without a warrant.

They haven't quit yet, so not scared enough.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Sure, ICE should be scared that someone might kill them, but a more interesting question is if a prosecutor could find 12 people in an ICE-occupied city that would convict someone of that killing.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

As they should be. Should've behaved themselves from the beginning

My new lifelong hobby will be to make sure this follows them long after the Trump regime burns. They won't be able to lie to their grandkids about what they did so long as I live.

[–] mvilain@fedia.io 15 points 1 week ago

With a recent DOXing data breach, it's time to send GTFO mail to their homes, schools, churches, etc to let them know that when Trump is gone, they'll be hunted even more viciously than they are hunting their victims.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Fuck each and every last one of them and the gender-affirming lifted diesel DUII machines they rode in with.

They need to feel fear

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

No one is forcing them to suit up today, tomorrow, or the day after that. They are at will employed. The employment can be terminated by either party at any time for any reason.

If you're fearing for your life, and suiting up to be a Nazi, color me unsympathetic. Take off the uniform, stop playing with your Nazi friends, and hope to fuck the masses never discover what you were up to at the start of 2026.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Never scared enough, they should only recount what they're doing from their death beds so their children don't miss them either.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Suicide is always an option.

Not even the tiniest of violins for this one. I hope these bootlickers live in fear for the rest of their lives.

They are a good example that simply being human does not necessarily give you humanity, and they should all be absolutely ashamed.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

They're nowhere near terrified enough.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers...

Then quit and pray we never fucking find out you were with ICE.

Deporting them to CECOT will be the moderate position

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Copium from thedailybeast. The refuge during trump smash’n grabs (colloquially known as ‘administrations’.)

ICE are ignorant redneck fascist fucks and are just waiting til they get back into the truck to bust out laughing and telling n***** jokes. They’re not living in anything but hate and dirty underwear.

I mean it’d be great if it was true, but it’s not. Not really. If it was true they’d be resigning or even approaching people with 1/10,000 of a percent of respect instead of zero but they’re not.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They always should have worried about public acceptance since they're supposed to be a public organization. But normally had the government been doing its job they should have feared a withdrawal of support and disbandment to keep themselves straight. It is so damn stupid that the government ignored it all and allowed that organization to fester to a point where the fear is now of vigilante reprisals.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good. I hope you never get a good night's sleep again.

Especially once you're tucked in next to Big Bubba behind bars where you deserve to be...

Cornered bullies with guns are going to shoot more people.

[–] Asmodeus_Krang@infosec.pub 15 points 1 week ago

They're outnumbered and they're outgunned. The people need to flip the script, "One of ours, all of yours."

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Was that before or after they were doxxed?

I guess they could take the advice of conservatives everywhere and "self deport".

Nothing of value will be lost

Also, people have the right to defend their homes from warrantless entry when there is no warrant absent hot pursuit/exigent circumstances.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Nazis feel bad, so sad.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Every last one of them will be held accountable.
