1·13 hours agoI don’t think the administration put that much planning into it. I think it’s just finger-pointing after a colossally incompetent decision.
Thanks! It’s still better than Fox News, at least slightly.
“US throws surprise military parade in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans attend. Traffic jam as spectators laying supine in pine boxes clog the roadways.”
To be fair, he was known to carry a pointed stick.
No no no! We have to protect the freedom of law(ish) enforcement so we can have the freedom to freely free ourselves from the oppression of people who put paper signs on telephone poles.
That’s a really good point. If it’s such a terrible crime, let the public see it and decide for themselves.
It seems that way now more than ever.
I would love to see that. I’ve only seen a photo of one in the Fox News article.
The Fox article does have an image of one of the posters, if that’s what you’re asking. Sorry if it seems like I’m being obtuse.
The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.
Sorry, I don’t quite understand. Would you rephrase that?
If you haven’t seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it’s only on Fox, and I won’t utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn’t just drop out of the blue. It’s been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the “both sides” perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

ICE, alongside the U.S. Secret Service, conducted a large-scale operation in an upscale Irvine, California neighborhood Wednesday to apprehend an individual accused of distributing fliers containing the personal information of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, authorities confirmed.
The operation, described by witnesses as a “military-style brigade,” involved a cavalcade of armored vehicles, with ICE providing Fox News with drone footage showing the procession through Pasadena streets to serve a criminal search warrant.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released, allegedly posted fliers around Southern California, including Los Angeles, that listed HSI agents’ names, photographs, phone numbers, and alleged locations, marked with warnings in Spanish such as “CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES.”
Fox News reported the suspect is being charged under 18 U.S.C. § 119, a federal law prohibiting the sharing of law enforcement officers’ personal information with intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite violence.
“I think they are likely going to have a hard time proving that,” said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, an immigration policy expert. “But they have certainly sent a message.” The operation comes amid heightened tensions over the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement, with ICE reporting over 66,000 arrests of illegal immigrants in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Anti-ICE have escalated resistance since Trump returned to the White House in January, patrolling neighborhoods to warn residents of ICE activities and distributing fliers to expose agents’ identities.
The investigation remains ongoing, with ICE and the FBI working to identify others involved in the flier campaign. No additional details about the suspect or charges were immediately available.
Sorry for my tone. That wasn’t directed at you. It was intended to be in support of people like us.
Yeah, here’s to the peaceful reformation, or, that failing, the violent revolution.
20·3 days agoSorry if it came across as a little juvenile. Thanks for your constructive criticism. I’ll try not to throw a tantrum over it.
- Tell me about it.
That’s some 5D, non-euclidean chess right there. Start a charity that only pays out to ICE veterans who make less than the standard retirement amount, so it only covers those who are unable or unwilling to do the job. Restrict the posters to photos and names only so it’s clear that the charity isn’t soliciting hostile action against ICE agents but still gives potential victims enough information to evade most assaults. The “Blue Lives Matter” mob probably wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Even if they do, the resultant infighting will still distract from their potential targets.
“For just a dollar a day, you can save this ICE agent, John Smith, and his family from a life of poverty if he ever leaves. He gave everything. Please just give something.”
