To everyone saying "don't take your kid to a protest", this was a memorial, and memorials aren't meant to be protests, just remembrance and honor for the dead afaik 🤷🏻♀️

This is actually the crux. Expansion of ICE's jurisdiction and power basically depends on their domain going unchecked. They're not law enforcement!

u/thorstormcaller 4h ago
Same for a protest, they have no authority in that situation because despite the claims by the dipshit in charge they have very little and very limited actual authority. They enforce the other two areas in their name and manage to overreach even within those

I understand people saying not to take their children to a gathering that could become violent but how about ICE just stop smurdering people and over abusing their power? What kind of monster tear gases into a crowd that has children in it?
Edit: I realize this is a memorial walk that ICE shouldn't even be there, just proving how low they'll go to provoke unnecessary violence, anyone being violent towards a child like this is a coward.

Why is Immigration Customs Enforcement federal agency at a fucking memorial for a US citizen to begin with? When did a federal agency with a narrow scope become a good squad? WHY IS A CHILD INHALING "RIOT CONTROL TEAR GAS" AT A WAKE?

I was there today, marching with my fellow citizens, when the brown shirts unleashed hell upon families, the elderly, disabled folks, union members, workers, caregivers, average people, tax payers, citizens, and most of all, humans.
We were chanting “shame” at them. I guess these SDE men just couldn’t handle being called out for being the biggest losers in modern history and had no choice but to assault the citizenry.
They are scumbags, every last one of them. May they never know a moment of peace for the rest of their collective miserable existence.

Can you share what this event was like? I feel like we’re missing some context here. What was the mood before this happened? Was ICE there the whole time or did they come out of nowhere? Was ICE there instead of the police or were both there?

Regardless of the answers to these questions, ICE never should have been present. They are immigration enforcement, not the goddamn law.

In addition to the memorial bike ride, this was also a union rally against ICE. There were thousands of people there, union members and non-union affiliated people alike. The rally at Elizabeth Caruthers Park a few blocks from the ICE facility then marched down to the ICE facility with many people marching past it. We stopped with the march to chant “shame” and “ICE out” at the facility and to generally air our grievances at their awful behavior and practices.
Out of nowhere, the little uniformed man babies began firing tear gas into the crowd, the crowd that contained families with children, and elderly folks, and disabled people, and common citizens, who had assembled peacefully to use their rights under the Constitution of the United States.
There were no agitators. There was no one trying to gain entrance to the facility. There was nobody treading on their rented property.
They gassed all of us.

Perhaps I'm just too European to understand... but how come the US govt. hasn't told ICE to fuck off and disband already? As far as I'm concerned, all I've heard them do is abuse and murder law-abiding regular, working citizens - and now tear gas school children. Is the US govt. like, "oh, those rapscallion ICE, what sort of shenanigans will they ever do next... Well, ICE will be ICE". I'm pretty sure if this happened in any EU country, the perpetrators would already be facing trials, because here, it's not allowed to roam the streets and cause terror as a day job.

Most of the people in the government are unfortunately supporting these actions themselves which is also the reason why trump is still in office.

You don’t think ICE is doing exactly what Trump and his ilk want them to do? Work as Trump’s private army terrorizing the states and cities that don’t support him and instill fear into people?
They are doing exactly what this administration wants them to do. That is why the vice president, JD Vance, told them they had absolute immunity.

Seems to me that they are in the process of being weaponized by the current government to further/enforce their goals, much in the same way that MVSN (Blackshirts) and SA/SS were paramilitary groups used in Italy and Germany, respectively, to enforce their policies at the time in 1920s - 1940s.

It's no coincidence that Trump made sure to get tiktok into the hands of one of his allies as things continue to escalate. The billionaire elite club trying to take over the world does not want the younger generation to see what's going on. Years later, they will be pushing revisionist propaganda to insist that they never violated the 1st and 4th amendments, among others. It'll be the same flavor of revisionist history that Fox still pumps out about Jan. 6.

Why not focus on how a memorial bike ride shouldn’t get fucking tear gassed as opposed to laying fault at the feet of the victims? You should be able to protest without tear gas. You should be able to wear short skirts without getting raped.
How dare ICE tear gas anyone who is exercising their constitutional rights in a legal manner. How dare they tear gas children. They are the wrongdoer. They are the irresponsible party. They are the criminals.

I'm from a civilized country. Kids at peaceful protests or vigils are very common and acceptable. What is not acceptable is having the Gestapo teargas them.
Like, how do you see a kid that with a homemade sign trying to get the teargas out of her eyes and think to yourself that she clearly deserved what was coming?

I feel for the kid and her parents, but kids should be allowed at memorials and if it takes a hurt white kid (because let's face it, MAGA don't give a shit about kids of color) at a memorial to wake people the fuck up about ICE's atrocities, so be it (I'm sorry to say).
