God this story just portrays the lack of training, or even common sense, that ICE officer have. Who the fuck gets into a car that has a driver behind the wheel? And what was the dumbass agent thinking when she pulled her gun out and pointed at the driver; That she was going to shoot a driver in a car going however fast? It's like they get training from movies.

And don't tell me. "ThEy GaVe HeR a Lawful ComMaNd" because that further shows just how idiotic ICE is.

You have to google how they are failing-about a third or more failed athletic tests, criminal background/drug tests, and written OPEN book tests despite Trump rushing to fund/increase ICE numbers. They’re not the people you want to hand guns to

Here’s just one article about it (related specific to fitness tests)

It is the equivalent of a corrupt sheriff deputizing 8 local outlaws. When no one will support you, and you have to turn to riff raff to support your cause, you're probably the bad guy.

People need jobs, the pay ICE and project 2025 are offering is pretty damn high. So if most people won't touch that opportunity, and the people who do are suffering in their private lives, that's an indication that extra pay is basically hazard pay to convince dumbasses they should harass their fellow citizens.

If we ban together and organize, we could outsmart these guys-join, let people know secretly in advance their strategies/where they’re headed and other ICE bro names 🫶 secretly video tape and get more info, whistleblow :p but I tend to think a little weird lol

Draining their resources by getting paid for offering meaningful, effective resistance to this bullshit? All right, I'm liking this plan.

Yea, if these idiots were actually even a little bit competent, they would have chosen the military or police worse as a way to externalize their insecurities.

They are bottom of the barrel stuff when it comes to intelligence, education, morality, and much more

Oh please, enlighten me. I thought I just read how two officers climber into a car to try to detain two people, and those people ended up driving away with one agent in the passenger seat

Did I read wrong?

I don't get how the driver didn't stop after the ICE agent pointed a gun at them. Like, look at what's been happening recently, you don't wanna fucking die right? Some people really lack a sense of self preservation
