ICE Airport Deployment Shows Officers Only ‘Need’ Masks When They’re Kidnapping People
Before we get to the lie exposed here, let me just offer a correction of my own. As many, many, far too many people pointed out in my last post on ICE being sent to airports, people do actually gua…

I thought they literally couldn’t breathe at all with masks on during the pandemic???

That was just the false flag. The real reason they didn't want masks then was because democrats tried to mandate them. So they argued that it was government overreach. But of course now the hypocrisy is on full display, and they want the government to enshrine their ability to cover their cowardly faces.

I would say like Bill Maher but children will do. I think they call it Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

Friend! That’s not what false flag means. I recon you will learn what it means soon. But thats another matter.

When would be the "best" time, I wonder? October? Staying inside all October.

I'm going out on a limb here, but they might have lied.

My guess is that masked ICE at airports would be too much for international travelers and the administration actually does want foreign oligarchs to feel comfortable throwing money in their direction. Because otherwise Trump has just royally fucked over ICE by giving Democratic lawmakers and lawyers a bunch of headshots of agents they can track down. No hacking needed. Just smile and wave boys. We go after a few with criminal charges and civil suits, then we get them to flip on higher ups. It’s the same as breaking up a gang. You go after the ground pounders just in it for the money and clout, force them to flip on real leadership through identifying them in a common conspiracy.

why would lawmakers require hacking and facial recognition to access the names of government employees? like, these are public employees, right? its staggering how far gone the US seems to be

Nah I'll be real as an American, I expect any records of these guys to be on a private server somewhere and that's it. They're a paramilitary force that have the largest budget out of any agency in the entire government. 🤷 Someday they'll be purged and a real military-police hybrid will form.

Sorry, can't stop to look at the details now, busy on the authoritarian slide.

Crisp 20 note says they’re gonna go a LOT further (down).

Oligarchs don’t do airport queues.

But a lot of second and third tier members of the club do and they don't like it.

We need to wage a massive campaign against them until anyone that has served in ICE during this f****** nightmare is found and caught. We need to make them live in fear of leaving their homes the way their targets do. Maybe smash their windows in to grab them or pull up on them in unmarked vehicles so they can get a taste of their own f****** medicine. Edit: Guys, obviously I’m not calling for violence. I’m calling for jail

Friendly reminder that the best tactics are always nonviolent unless it’s a literal case of absolutely necessary self-defense

Funny how 'operational security' only becomes a priority when the cameras are rolling and the optics are bad. Rules for thee, but not for me, I guess.

Wait, so there's only a threat to them because they're unlawfully kidnapping and being violent towards anyone who tells them their actions are unlawful? Wait, so you mean that ice is lawless? Who could have known /s

These officers are clearly picked to be the 'public relations' officers and are not the same as the type sent to do the abductions.

Either that or they have different orders. I feel like there’s three different tiers of ICE agent orders. The “causal, don’t scare the public” airport order, the “crackdown mildly on migrants, but don’t cause a scene” red state orders, and the “be fascist brown shirts” blue city orders.

This story is a stark reminder of why transparency and oversight are so important in law enforcement.

Also when they are murdering citizens.

We need to hold agencies accountable if they’re acting in ways that harm communities.

Is that what passes for a ‘Gotchya!?’ Main people that got got are brown, and the 3’white people that were executed in broad daylight. Maybe there’s an argument to suggest that you all got got? Help a man out here.

Well you see they called ‘timeout’ so the totally real and definitely not made up cartel bounties had to be paused and they aren’t allowed to look

Because at their very core some ancient part of them knows that what they’re doing is wrong, that they’re on the wrong side of things. They may like it, they may revel in the fantasy of nastiness and evil, but they still have a shred of humanity that cannot see itself in the mirror and so must wear a mask, must hide from the reality, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to compartmentalize it and live with themselves
