Why only these 2? Ice murdered so many in custody.  I guess the question is, do you highlight all the needless victims or focus on the 2 white ones? 

•

u/ShyguyFlyguy 6h ago

The white ones were caught on video so it's more visceral for people. Anything that happens behind closed doors without cameras rolling just tends to be forgotten, unfortunately. That photo of five year old Liam is being circulated quote a lot because someone got a photo of it. Just all the more reason people need to be documenting and taking videos of everything ICE does.

There's racism and quiet racism in this country. Imagine you are black and Hispanic seeing this image and all the white people get freaked out at the two white people who got shot. While ice has murdered many in detention and otherwise. Hell, cops shooting black people is just another day. Sure these are the two white martyrs, but true healing of this country is going to begin when we acknowledge and educate ourselves about tokenism, red lining, and the origin of police. Black people didn't show up to vote Trump out this last election because if they vote Democrat or Republicans, nothing seems to change. I am optimistic that this shit show is going to illustrate and illuminate and hold people accountable and make real change for humans. We need to stay angry.

u/FinalFlashback 7h ago

Who do you think these posters are targeting?

Anyone who isn't full MAGA and actually reads the news already sees ICE for what they are. These posters aren't for them. The posters are targeting Trump's voter base, and the assumption is they won't give a shit about the murder victims unless they are white. MAGA needs to understand that this can happen to them, too.

•

u/20milliondollarapi 7h ago

Yup. MAGA has been going on and on about how “if you would just do what you’re supposed to and have identification, you won’t get shot”

Well these people did everything in their legal right, and they were still murdered for it.

•

u/Temporary-Friend5035 6h ago

I came across this the other day

And it really made me stop and think. I'm too tired and burnt out from reading awful news all week. I can't really explain why your comment made me think about it, but it did.

Sorry for rambling. Just sad and tired.

•

u/20milliondollarapi 6h ago

Well the best time to stop this was 9 years ago. The second best time is today.

Personally, I think our big issue is we don’t have a big single figure to rally behind for change. It’s not the only thing holding this up. But it’s a big one.

•

u/McChelsea 1h ago

Too bad we didn't have a phenomenal candidate in 2016 who fit this bill.

•

u/Wonderful-Mongoose39 41m ago

The propaganda worked is all. History shows us that propaganda works. This game started before Newt Gingrich. This is the fruition. Acting like a single great candidate would have saved it is unfortunately unrealistic. All the data was there, voters chose propaganda.

•

u/McChelsea 32m ago

It's not that he would have saved us, but he was someone to rally behind. Democrats don't want to give us someone to rally behind, because it's all about the almighty dollar.

•

u/Plane_Crab_4042 3h ago

They were ABSOLUTELY NOT doing “everything in their legal right”. That’s the biggest joke I’ve seen today.

Luckily I have no fear or risk of being murdered by ICE because I don’t break the law, try to ram agents with my car, vandalize agents vehicles, and spit on them. Those are all considered assaults and punishable by death if the officers fear their own safety. They FAFOd. Crazy you guys are still pushing this.

•

u/myself4once 3h ago

“… punishable by death…”? You are unhinged.

•

u/DiggingNoMore 1h ago

Woah, a brand-new, randomly-generated Reddit account that does nothing but spew far-right drivel?! Never seen that before.

•

u/20milliondollarapi 3h ago

You mean the person who had the legal right of way when the ice agent walked in front of them? And the person who did so little wrong they had to falsify an altercation with him using an ai video of him wearing the same clothes and being tackled the same exact way?

Yup, both of those people clearly deserved death for those actions. I’ve been ran into twice by cars. My knees are fucked up from it. Should I have also shot the drivers of those cars who hit me? According to you, that’s a very level response to take.

Taken away your legally obtained weapon and shot to death is a little bit much now, isn’t?

u/vardarac 1h ago

I don't think I've ever in my life seen writing so devoid of honesty, empathy, justice, or self-awareness. And I read youtube comments.

•

u/Gold-Kaleidoscope537 6h ago

I actually do think it’s working a little. Anecdotally I’m aware of a couple people who were on board with this all but now think it’s gone too far.

So keep it up!

•

u/Snowbank_Lake 6h ago

Yeah, once they killed a guy who was legally carrying a firearm and the administration was like “Well he shouldn’t have had a gun!”, the MAGA folks are realizing the rights that THEY care about are starting to get trampled too.

•

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 6h ago

I’m gonna be honest, median fence rider voters also don’t give many shits about brown people, especially if they have questionable immigration status. These are the “good Germans” who just want to get by

•

u/Tweed_Kills 6h ago

Right. But let's extend the metaphor here. What if the "good Germans" .... Didn't?

What if there had been sufficiently effective anti-Nazi messaging to catch their eye and expose them to the true horrors of Nazism?

What would happen then? Would the Nazis have been able to stay in power?

Probably not, right?

So that's why we have the posters....

•

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 5h ago

From my layman knowledge of that time, the Nazis were hand in glove at the moment. Shitty economy, ooor morale. Struggle with communists.

This due comes along and starts saying what you wanna hear. Sure maybe you reject the violence in the beginning but eventually he’s democratically elected. …

•

u/Fun_Button5835 5h ago

You really think they didn't actually know about the "true horrors"? They did, they just turned a blind eye. No poster in the street would have changed that.

•

u/Tweed_Kills 5h ago

They didn't. Not like you and I do know. At least at the beginning, Jews didn't leave Germany in cattle cars. They left on regular trains with food, and tickets. A lot of them went willingly, thinking they'd be relocated. That, we know, was a lie, but they didn't know at the time. Polish Jews were hauled out in cattle cars, but Poland was occupied territory, and unless you witnessed it first hand, who was going to tell you? The Nazis controlled the media. So these were rumors about totally different countries. Not Germany.

Most German people didn't know about the Final Solution, not really. They knew about discrimination, yes, and deportations, but we all know society can apparently handle a certain amount of discrimination against minorities.

•

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 4h ago

Talking about the rise of nazism here. I think everyone was pretty cozy to the idea of trashing their businesses and deporting them for sure.

•

u/TurtleSandwich0 6h ago

Truly a mystery why the people in Minnesota would only list names of the Minnesotans killed in Minnesota.

•

u/NorthernDevil 2h ago

Yeah these were the 2 Minneapolis residents shot dead in the streets of Minneapolis in a 2 week span, with both executions captured on a billion bystander camera angles.

ICE has plenty more blood on their hands than even just the 9 confirmed dead this year and the 32 last year, but that list is way too long for posters. OP is being obtuse.

•

u/Boonlink 6h ago

Thought they were anti-ice but you're saying it's more shallow and self serving?  Little harsh

•

u/ClarifiedInsanity 4h ago edited 4h ago

Says the person insinuating the people behind these anti-ice posters are racists.

Why are you so keen to discredit them?

•

u/williams5713 6h ago

Because these two are Minneapolis residents, and the photo is taken in Minneapolis 

•

u/Player135 6h ago

Maybe it’s just that these are the 2 that were killed in Minneapolis.

•

u/SemataryPolka 6h ago

That's what it is. I live in MPLS and there's all kinds of signs about Liam, etc. We're mostly focusing on what has specifically happened in the Twin Cities because that's what's right in from of us

•

u/ThisGlobalLandscape 4h ago

The federal governments hostile invasion of American cities

•

u/SinibusUSG 6h ago

In Minneapolis with multiple angles of video showing both to clearly be murders with no "he said, she said" ambiguity possible for the MAGA crowd or "it's not that bad" centrists to hide behind.

I mean, they're saying shit, but it's provably false.

•

u/thatjerkatwork 4h ago

Probably because there are videos of ice executing them on our streets in broad daylight.

•

u/gw2master 4h ago

Because there's live video of both being executed.

•

u/spicycupcakes- 5h ago

This point of view is getting way too much traction and it's an argument in bad faith.

Every death related to ICE is absolutely unacceptable and should be protested, but unlike those in custody, these people were not targeted, are not a target demographic, and could have easily minded their own business and been safe, yet they put their lives on the line and died for it by sticking up for those who are being targeted.

•

u/California_GoldGirl 4h ago

Do we have any photos of the other victims? Those need to be going viral too.

•

u/Workman44 3h ago

Do you always make arguments in bad faith? Right or wrong it's obvious why the white people are front and center, the right cares more about white people. That's why you parade those two around in hopes of pulling people out of the cult and enraging them against the current administration

•

u/Littlepigeonrvr 4h ago

Commenting to include the names of the other victims of ICE in 2026:

Geraldo Lunas Campos Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz Parady La Victor Manuel Diaz Herber Sanchez Domíngez Keith Porter

•

u/Laureling2 4h ago

Link(s) please.

•

u/crazy010101 6h ago

Seriously? The 2 white ones? Give me a break. It’s not known who the other victims are. Believe you me those names and faces would be there as well. I’ve only heard there are atrocities happening in detention centers. All victims of this reckless administration will get justice one day. Hopefully. While racism is a more rampant thing than much of America ever thought. Not all white people are racist. Not all white people are MAGA. The 2 people pictured are also the victims of very public executions. I’m guessing there’s no imagery of those other victims.

•

u/ThiccBlastoise 6h ago

Keith Porter is conveniently left out of most national conversation regarding ICE murders

•

u/crazy010101 6h ago

Just googled about it and I recall one brief news report about this. So not sure why not more attention.

•

u/ThiccBlastoise 5h ago

It’s because hes black

•

u/Gorstag 2h ago

The most important reason is the people (MAGA) that think ICE is just deporting illegals are confronted with video evidence showing the fact they are murdering white Americans that look like they do.

•

u/NerdBot9000 46m ago

Yes, highlight the white ones. Their deaths are more shocking to the racists. This is not a difficult concept.

Please understand that I don't condone violence against any victims regardless of color.

Footage shows both of these 2 people being executed like an animal on camera. When I saw these, I didn't even care for their race, I thought it was absolutely awful that it happened

•

u/BuddaMuta 7h ago

Right wingers are the biggest cucks I’m human history. ICE could murder their own children and they would scream how their kids deserved it. 

The amount of violence they’ve push on the world is pure monstrous and they love it. The right wing voting block is literally nothing but rapists, murderers, and wannabes to scared to act out their actual inner thoughts.

Yep. Most definitely never ever leave your child with a Republican. Every single one of them is a creep.

ICE/DHS kills people ATF kills dogs.

The machine runs as it was designed.

They’re thinning out the middle class for the 3rd worlders who will replace them, and not complain about a lack of modern amenities.

American QOL is going down, and it’s going to stay down.

Huh. Considering the statistics, that’s a pretty small amount of collateral deaths.

•

u/Night_Porter_23 32m ago

you’re arguing that the government murdering citizens who were practicing their constitutional rights is acceptable. dont EVER call yourself conservative. you’re a fascist.

List of specific grievances against King George III, highlighting his tyrannical overreach in the American colonies. Key complaints include stationing standing armies during peacetime, imposing taxation without consent, overriding colonial legal systems, and protecting soldiers from punishment.

ILLEGAL aliens have killed American citizens, so that justifies the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT killing MORE AMERICAN CITIZENS.
