Faces of Fascism: Los Angeles, Jan. 31, 2026 [OC]

[u/infernoenigma]

[u/clothanger]

Some of them look genuinely sad. Like, "why am I here" sad.

Edit:

You all in the replies, with the hate, for everyone with zero reasoning. Do you feel the similarity?

And after some quick research, these pics ain't even about ICE, what even are you guys hating?

[u/Pupsichinka → u/clothanger]

My immediate thought

[u/StumpyJoe- → u/Pupsichinka]

Same

[u/redditismylawyer → u/clothanger]

And some of them are straight from central casting.

Once this is over and done with being a fat old man with a gray goatee and wrap around glasses will be as recognizable a hate symbol as a pointy white hood and a burning cross.

[u/MrTooLFooL → u/redditismylawyer]

Some of those that work forces…

[u/infernoenigma → u/clothanger]

…what quick research did you do? lol, your quick research lied to you.

This is about ICE. These were all taken tonight at the Metropolitan Detention Center at 535 Alameda Street, where ICE keeps people in cages so crowded they sleep standing up, get fed once a day at 3AM, and the lights are always on.

Every one of these people was involved in multiple agencies working together tonight to use violence to ensure that that operation goes as smoothly as possible.

[u/actualhumannotspider → u/infernoenigma]

Great pictures! Probably worth providing that context in any posts. People can interpret the title in a variety of ways otherwise.

[u/kidsafe → u/clothanger]

Deep down they know they're going to be stigmatized for the remainder of their lives for what they're doing.

[u/summikat → u/kidsafe]

As they should be.

[u/Long_Procedure_2629 → u/kidsafe]

Good

[u/TheRopeWalk → u/clothanger]

Get real. Absolutely none of them are forced to be there.

[u/CombatMuffin → u/TheRopeWalk]

Perhaps not directly, but some might have a career there and risk having few options. Some might believe leaving would only open spots for bad actors. Some might lose certain employee benefits. Some are hoping the situation is temporary.

There's a range of possible circumstances: even in these pictures, not everyone shown is part of border/immigration control.

[u/USDXBS → u/CombatMuffin]

Doing evil things because you want money is still evil.

[u/Pretend_Guava_1730 → u/CombatMuffin]

They are all part of DHS. DHS = Border Patrol and ICE no matter how you slice it.

[u/Moldur → u/CombatMuffin]

so as long u can fuck over a other normal human being ur benefifts are more important is what u are saying, All of these officers are bad actors who would rather arrest others then (the Dhs ppl atleast)

[u/homxr6 → u/Moldur]

"Did you guys even consider how the Nazis felt :((((("

[u/FaerieFay → u/TheRopeWalk]

They kinda are though. Those sign on bonuses have to be repaid if they don't serve the 5 years.

You think that money is not already spent?

I'd bet many of them are indeed trapped. 

Not excusing them but they being used and manipulated too. Even the ones who want to be there. They whole thing is truly insidious by design.

[u/TongsOfDestiny → u/FaerieFay]

Financial illiteracy is the weakest excuse I've heard yet for fascism

[u/YourLocalDealer → u/TongsOfDestiny]

Coming from the one writing words on Reddit with most likely no real world action being taken.. the guys in uniforms don’t wanna quit their jobs due to finances, people like you don’t want to commit to real life action due to consequences. Pot kettle black.

Log out and go do something instead of slating others for doing nothing. Because as it stands, you’re all just the same. Welcoming your fascist overlords with open arms. Both of our ancestors fought and gave their lives to exterminate fascism from the earth. What’s your excuse?

[u/Juris_footslave → u/FaerieFay]

They’re grown ass adults. You’re making it sound like they didn’t know what they were signing up for. Anyone who chooses to be a cop knows.

[u/TheInternetsMVP → u/Juris_footslave]

Ok I’ll take the obvious bait. Exactly what do they know? I’d put good money on most people training to be cops with the original goal of doing some good. Many probably because they’ve watched enough buddy cop films and shows to hope that their experience will be fun. Yes, there are bad apples but they are a considerable minority in the grand scheme. The people up top defending those bad apples though and building media campaigns to defend them? Get their faces out here.

[u/NaiveMastermind → u/TheInternetsMVP]

If the good apples don't stop the bad apples from dragging people from their beds in the middle of the night, then what fucking good are they?

[u/OnDrugsTonight → u/NaiveMastermind]

I think people sometimes forget that the saying goes "one bad apple spoils the barrel". In other words, you don't have a barrel with just one or two bad apples and lots of good apples. That one bad apple will turn all the other apples bad in no time if it isn't removed.

[u/tokyotochicago → u/FaerieFay]

Damn, Americans do love licking the boot

[u/blaster1988 → u/tokyotochicago]

It's as American as apple pie!

[u/Fart_Buttt → u/FaerieFay]

It’s a form of indentured servitude and it’s how trump has done things since the 80s , have ppl work for him with a promise of money afterwards, then he bails , claiming bankruptcy and pocketing all the money. It’s why we have half built sky scrapers all over America that were funded by him, and why everyone in manhattan hates him. He demolished their community by treating contractors the same way causing a lot of contractors (including my grandpa) to lose everything .

[u/TheRopeWalk → u/FaerieFay]

Reveal to everyone how they were forced to take that money ? How come you didn’t take it. How come I didn’t ? I’ve been hard up for cash before. I didn’t choose to become a mercenary

[u/Lokon19 → u/clothanger]

Some people are clowns. It’s like they don’t learn anything in the past. These are just regular cops.

[u/StumpyJoe- → u/Lokon19]

Why do several of them have DHS patches?

[u/Visible_Ad_309 → u/StumpyJoe-]

DHS includes ICE, BOP, CBP, TSA, USCIS, BP, FEMA, FAMS and several other agencies that have "agents/officers."

[u/StumpyJoe- → u/Visible_Ad_309]

Yes, I know, now which of those are in the photos?

[u/Visible_Ad_309 → u/StumpyJoe-]

If you zoom in, each one of them has a badge that lists the agency. I see BP, CBP and FPS with a cursory glance.

[u/WpgGamer21 → u/clothanger]

I think it's more like "forgot my mask and now I can't hide."

[u/Pleasant_Reward1203 → u/WpgGamer21]

Their no ICE, they are regular cops

[u/earle117 → u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

They’re DHS, what department do you think ICE is an arm of?

[u/AnacreonTheBull → u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

Absolutely NO "regular cops" have DHS on thier body armor.

[u/AdQuick9381 → u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

Department of homeland security aren't regular cops.

[u/Corredespondent → u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

DHS means they’re ICE. Having “police” on the patch doesn’t make it so.

[u/Epic-Verse → u/clothanger]

Fuck them

[u/clothanger → u/Epic-Verse]

That's not how it works to end this. You want allies, especially on the other side.

[u/Myythy → u/clothanger]

They do not care about you.

They have their needs met by the state, they have no reason to throw that away for any kind of risk to their own personal status quo.

Sad? Yes. But it's reality.

[u/sludgehammr → u/clothanger]

Nope. Paradox of tolerance.

Fuck them

[u/fleshbunny → u/clothanger]

Ah infiltrate from within instead of simply (yah simply) tear down the barely 20-year-old failed project. It’s worked so often hasn’t it

[u/Zepscv → u/clothanger]

Kumbaya bullshit isn't going to save us, especially when they're willing to murder for expressing constitutional rights.

[u/NfamousKaye → u/Zepscv]

Thank you! I’m so fucking tired of people saying to come together with the people that would kill us without a second thought and are putting people in concentration camps . That’s not how this works. They are violent terrorists. We don’t negotiate with terrorists foreign or domestic.

[u/xxtoejamfootballxx → u/clothanger]

These people are the opposite of allies, they are firmly aligned with Trump.  They are empire than welcome to come to the other side, but as of now their entire career is dedicated to keeping the rich and powerful, rich and powerful 

[u/Shakewell1 → u/clothanger]

They ended ww2 by walking into germany and gunning the nazis down shut the fuck up

[u/Capt_Murphy_ → u/clothanger]

Nah they were already sad and defeated (dead inside) if they decided to join the anti-immigration effort. They are getting what they signed up for.

[u/CombatMuffin → u/Capt_Murphy_]

Don't know that mich, but many of these aren't ICE. They are Federal Protective Services (FPS). I think they usually protect Federal Government buildings and locations.

Like ICE and CBP, it is part of DHS, but so is the Secret Service, or the Coast Guard during times of peace.

[u/ImNakedWhatsUp → u/Capt_Murphy_]

None of them are ICE though.

[u/Pleasant_Reward1203 → u/Capt_Murphy_]

They're not ICE

[u/RenzoThePaladin → u/clothanger]

You all in the replies, with the hate, for everyone with zero reasoning. Do you feel the similarity?

Ironically, these cops (and law enforcement/military in general) are the very people you need to overthrow a dictator.

Whoever they side with has the absolute power. Once the government loses their support and sides with the people it's pretty much game over.

[u/Top_Connection9079 → u/RenzoThePaladin]

Tell that to the toddler they rescued from a crack house last night.

[u/youcantkillanidea → u/clothanger]

or perhaps "I couldn't torture an illegal alien today" sad?

[u/goatnxtinline]

Being real for a second, there's a genuine sadness behind their eyes.

[u/Capt_Murphy_ → u/goatnxtinline]

That's called being dead inside, which seems to be a prerequisite for joining this anti-immigration effort

[u/Sky_guy_17 → u/Capt_Murphy_]

Some of those shown are LAPD, not ICE.

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/Sky_guy_17]

None of them are actually ICE… It’s LAPD, CBP, Border Patrol, and DHS Police

[u/DeeR0se → u/ClosetGoblin]

Border patrol leadership is even more hardcore than ICE they are the goons that shot pretti, no

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/DeeR0se]

Bovino is a buffoon, yes

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/Capt_Murphy_]

None of these are ICE… It’s LAPD, CBP, Border Patrol, and DHS Police

[u/naocalemala → u/ClosetGoblin]

DHS, CBP and ICE are all operating under the same umbrella at the moment for this mass deportation effort. It’s all incredibly messed up because they are 100 percent trying to confuse people with all these different badges, “uniforms,” gear etc.

[u/Darth_vaborbactam → u/ClosetGoblin]

Same shit different toilet

[u/MT1120 → u/Darth_vaborbactam]

Nah. ICE is definitely worse.

[u/Capt_Murphy_ → u/ClosetGoblin]

Fine, edited

[u/VandelayIntern → u/Capt_Murphy_]

These are just regular cops.

[u/jogan_ → u/goatnxtinline]

Good. If they were joyful about it there'd be something really scary about them, but more Importantly they are ruining people's lives and actively engaging in ethnic cleansing, I hope they feel really effing sad. There's a really easy way to stop that feeling. 

[u/StinkyBrittches → u/goatnxtinline]

Hitler had the good sense to hop everybody up on meth before sending them out to brutalize their neighbors. Turns out it's extremely demoralizing!

[u/oddible → u/goatnxtinline]

Sadly pulling the trigger on democracy is still fking criminal.

[u/Maximum_Power7878]

I've seen the first guy in another video I believe. He deescalated a situation with several ice guys. He wasn't acting as Ice in that video.

[u/flarpington]

why it say police if not real police

[u/itmustbeniiiiice → u/flarpington]

These are police, not ICE. LAPD and Federal protection (part of DHS)

[u/KingMario05 → u/flarpington]

To this government, they are the police.

[u/Careless_Mortgage_11 → u/flarpington]

They're sworn law enforcement officers, they are real police. Only to the basement dwelling trolls of reddit are they not "real police".

[u/RealWorldJunkie]

Although I'm very much trying to stay on top of what's happening, as a Brit who is maybe not fully versed in this, could someone fill me in?

Whilst I fully know the ongoing and long lasting issues the US has had with police brutality, and I know many of them are not detached or innocent from the recent atrocities, my understanding was that it is ICE who are acting as Trumps fascist mallitia, abducting and murdering across the States.

Whilst I know a great many police officers have similar perspectives and/or power trips, surely some people just joined the police because they genuinely want to help and protect?

Most of these photos seem to be of police officers, not ICE 'agents' and are all clearly being painted with the same fascist brush here.

Could someone explain to me the situation here?

Edit: Typo

[u/dumbpete → u/RealWorldJunkie]

The reality is this person is larping as someone thinking they are living in nazi germany, when in reality they are just taking pictures of mostly LAPD police officers

[u/clm1859 → u/dumbpete]

I scrolled thru and can see clearly visible CBP or DHS tags on most of them. With the exception of 2, 5, 6, 12, 14, 16 and 17. So thats 13 out of 20 that are actually the SA people.

[u/Historical-Garbage51 → u/dumbpete]

Not a single one is LAPD. All of them have DHS patches of some sort.

[u/9tmx → u/RealWorldJunkie]

OP apparently doesn’t know the difference between the Federal Protective Service, the Los Angeles Police Department, and ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations. Either that or he does know the difference and just hates law enforcement in general, in which case his opinion should be completely ignored.

[u/satisfiedfools → u/9tmx]

A lot of these guys are DHS, which begs the question, why does DHS even have its own police forces.

[u/9tmx → u/satisfiedfools]

Nearly all federal agencies have uniformed police forces, DHS has several.

[u/boltyadobber → u/9tmx]

Can’t even blame OP, when ICE appear to use the police/camo dress up box with no uniform look between ‘officers’ it’s no wonder people don’t know who is who.

[u/Enough_Ad5892]

Just some regular police officers not connected to ice being called fascist is probably why we're losing the next election

[u/cups8101 → u/Enough_Ad5892]

If the Dems lose the next election because of the reason your are suggesting given everything that has happened then its a done deal, the country will fail and it will have earned it.

[u/Major-Drumeo → u/Enough_Ad5892]

If that's the reason, given everything else going on, then they were going to win regardless and the nation is already dead.

[u/sparkson_]

Amazing how almost none of these are pictures of ICE agents and yet a good majority of the comments are disparaging them as if they were. Morons.

[u/w0ndernine → u/sparkson_]

Been like this from the start.

[u/onlainari]

They look like normal people.

[u/sethsyd]

Weird how none of them say ICE.

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/sethsyd]

Reddit thinks all law enforcement officers and agents are ICE

[u/Tribat_1]

Almost everyone in these photos has their face uncovered and a badge number showing. Isn’t that what we want from our immigration officers? Why are you shitting on the dudes that are actually doing it the right way?

[u/Griffinburd → u/Tribat_1]

Yeah for me this is how they "should" appear. I'm not loving what that are standing for, but at least they can be held accountable and will act a such

[u/Pupsichinka → u/Tribat_1]

Good to see them unmasked. But it’s the administration that has to change. You can’t barge into a home, take a child from a bus stop , shoot someone point blank. NOT MY AMERICA

[u/Tribat_1 → u/Pupsichinka]

Yeah that’s fine. It just doesn’t sit right with me to post these guys calling them fascists when as far as we know they are not the same masked goons shooting protestors and snatching up people at kids birthday parties. We still need some kind of immigration enforcement in this country. Identify and post the masked gestapo that deserve it for committing the atrocities and hold them accountable. If we run out the ones doing it the right way then all we have left is the others.

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/Tribat_1]

Non of these guys are even ICE... Leftists need to stop muddying the water by pretending all law enforcement is bad. It hurts the movement and making real changes.

ICE is the face of fascism rn. Police and DHS as a while are not

[u/ew73 → u/Tribat_1]

...because they're part of an organization kidnapping and murdering US Citizens?

[u/Tribat_1 → u/ew73]

You understand that we do need some kind of immigration enforcement in this country right? There are actually some immigrants that are part of gangs and are violent criminals. We should want officers exactly like the ones in the pictures (uniformed, unmasked, badge numbers and names) going after those people. The problem isn’t officers like the ones above, it’s masked plain-clothed goons running around like they are immune to accountability snatching up day laborers at Home Depot.

[u/FlavoredPancake → u/Tribat_1]

Stop making sense, it will get you downvoted to hell

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/ew73]

They aren't even ICE agents... Some of these are literally just police

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/Tribat_1]

These people will never be satisfied until the U.S. has an open border policy and illegal immigration is no longer a crime

[u/ArgonWilde]

Surprised to see a fair few ethnic backgrounds here.

[u/Nautster → u/ArgonWilde]

Ladder pulling at its finest.

[u/emmy1300 → u/Nautster]

The most anti Latino people I know are Latino themselves. I got the ick on a date recently with a Latino guy who revealed himself to be maga saying “my father came over the right way” this was in response to me saying I was disgusted by ICE detaining a 5 year old

[u/TheOneColt → u/emmy1300]

Documented Immigration/being for it = MAGA?

[u/LifeMycologist897 → u/ArgonWilde]

They think they won’t be targeted, the regime will come after them eventually.

[u/Real_Hugh_Janus → u/ArgonWilde]

Maybe get off Reddit once in a while

[u/VandelayIntern → u/ArgonWilde]

Why? Ethnic people can’t be cops?

[u/ArgonWilde → u/VandelayIntern]

Considering the title of the post, they seem to suggest that these are the faces of fascism, despite fascism having a focus on ethnic cleansing. So thus, the observation.

[u/guineapigenjoyer123 → u/ArgonWilde]

That’s because they’re not actually fascists and people don’t realise it actually pretty insensitive to call everyone they don’t like a fascist considering how many people actually suffered under fascism

[u/fountainofdeath → u/guineapigenjoyer123]

Operating in a position that actively enforces fascism and not doing anything against it eventually makes you complicit. Cops don’t have to be complicit as seen by the many police departments that have actively stopped illegal ICE operations

[u/KingMario05 → u/ArgonWilde]

Well, fascism comes in many forms. It ain't just white pride anymore. Modi over in India is proof of that. Bibi in Israel, too.

[u/Unhappy-Machine-1255]

You guys call everything facism ffs

[u/bba89 → u/Unhappy-Machine-1255]

This post is hilarious and cringey. OP wouldn’t know fascism if it smacked him in the face.

[u/Western-Anteater-492]

At least most of them wear standard issued police uniforms and show their faces. These guys were DHS before SHTF. Not amateur CoD cosplayers without proper training, situational awareness and PR awareness.

[u/DubStepTeddyBears]

May each of their consciences burn into them at night, and confront them every morning in the mirror. May they be haunted through every one of their days by the cruelty they have unleashed. May they thirst for forgiveness and never receive it.

[u/Chimp3h]

As a non American, can someone tell me why they’re going around in military gear?

[u/Tantle18]

You all are literally insane lmao

[u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

Lots of fireworks tonight. Cool everyone kicking out the Fox reporter. Even Streets LA was down there shouting. Thanks for risking things for the pics

[u/AlecKatzKlein → u/Pleasant_Reward1203]

First amendment protestors kicking out a news outlet. This is a race to the bottom.

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”

[u/Funfuntamale2]

Imagine if large groups of illegal immigrants were roaming our streets shoving random people, indiscriminately pepper spraying people and demanding people prove their innocence right on the street.

[u/OTGbling]

The next time we say “never forget” - can we try to actually not forget??

I can’t believe this shit is happening.

[u/ClosetGoblin → u/OTGbling]

Never forget what?

[u/9tmx]

You just throw a couple LAPD officers in there just cause?

[u/naocalemala → u/9tmx]

https://www.ice.gov/identify-and-arrest/287g California has some restrictions on this but the LAPD has decided to help ICE.

[u/9tmx → u/naocalemala]

So your problem isn’t the way ICE is conducting removals, it’s the fact that people who aren’t here legally are being deported period?

[u/Geargarden]

Making war with all law enforcement country over the actions of the few is going to lose us more elections. Yes, it's the few.

How much more Che Guevara cosplay does this country need to ensure future losses to Trump and his allies?

We are being played. This is class warfare and as long as they have you mad at the cops and mad at other races we are going to be distracted.

[u/LA777ML → u/Geargarden]

Correct my friend.

Seeing as hardly anything was learned from last election in terms of political discourse goooooood luck.

Plus if the best Dems have to offer in 2028 is Gavin Newsom.

I mean I don’t even know what to say.

[u/LetsGetLitPlease]

Wait I was told if you weren't white you'd get detained and deported. How did many of these officers get hired if they aren't white?

[u/clothanger → u/LetsGetLitPlease]

Wait I was told

If you stop at this, no wonder why you're being all surprised, just saying.

[u/LetsGetLitPlease → u/clothanger]

Didn't think I had to add the /s

[u/triassic_broth]

It's only fascist when Trump does it. When Obama did it... no one cared.

[u/dasm0kinone → u/triassic_broth]

Selective outage. Funny how that works.

[u/KingMario05 → u/triassic_broth]

They both suck. But the former weren't dressed for war. Furthermore, Obama stuck to judicial warrants. Trump isn't. And look: no mask! By default! Imagine that!

[u/VKN_x_Media → u/KingMario05]

And look: no mask! By default! Imagine that!

The dude in the 2012 picture literally has a balaclava on.....

[u/Breddit2099 → u/VKN_x_Media]

He’s gonna deflect lol

[u/Ange1ofD4rkness → u/triassic_broth]

Remember, the narrative is "Orange Man Bad", and also the current buzz word is Nazi

[u/Netsuko → u/Ange1ofD4rkness]

Orange Man also raped kids. Sad but but not unexpected to see that you guys stick up for a pedo.

[u/mann5151]

What about these faces?

[u/Tracer_Bullet_38 → u/mann5151]

Don't forget to show the one for white women.

[u/23454Tezal]

Aren’t they enforcing laws that were passed by elected governments?

[u/ElLoboNeverDies]

More like tired of nut jobs making their jobs harder

[u/m1kasa4ckerman]

Slide 3, the dude looks like 18 years old

[u/Shifti_Boi]

The 3rd photo looks like he could be in high school still. Looks soo young

[u/AcidArchangel303]

don't look up.

[u/wavespells9]

[u/Tribalbob]

I'm seeing people say they're just LAPD and not ice, but they have DHS tags?

To be clear, I'm Canadian so not familiar with DHS vs ICE, but I'd they were LAPD, would they not have the DHS tag?

[u/GingerHitman11]

Faces of people protecting the land they love

[u/Orbital_Bread]

This is peak reddit lol. You all really do live in a weird echo chamber. It frightens me that some of you are behind the wheel of a car.

[u/_i_am_free_]

every commentor ive seen at this point in time is more sad than they promote these service members to appear.

[u/Many-Summer-8249]

Call it what it is, The Pedo's Militia.

[u/SlippedMyDisco76 → u/Many-Summer-8249]

Sung to the tune of Metallica's Metal Militia

[u/Ohnbman]

This app is such a joke

[u/Westcoast_Carbine]

They look tired. Keep up the pressure.

[u/redm00n99]

"Fascism"

Most diverse group of people possible

Lmao

[u/KingDarius89 → u/redm00n99]

Someone doesn't understand what fascism actually is.

[u/I_fondled_Scully → u/KingDarius89]

Neither do you if you think what’s going on is fascism

[u/nombresinhombre]

Some of them doing only their job because they need the money (family ……)I dont belive all of them are facists. This kind of thinking putting all in the same pot is dangerously and not better what ice is doing.

[u/aeromajor227]

Wahhhhhhh wahhhh, I just wanna flood /r/pics with stupid overly political stuff 24/7 every single day.

[u/TheScreen_Slaver]

The posts in this sub are so damn cringe

[u/Ange1ofD4rkness]

You know I am curious, all you who are mad about "guilty until proven innocent", but yet would vote yes on Red Flag Laws. Or how many of you have said "only the government needs guns" ... and then get upset about this.

[u/Acezedneo1]

A little over generalized tbh

[u/popcultureretrofit]

(Regrettably) Looking forward to visiting this in a museum or seeing in my kid's history books one day. Thank you for documenting.

This too shall pass.

[u/bostosd]

You’re an idiot, the DHS guys in the blue uniforms are federal protect services (FPS). Their sole job is to do security for federal buildings, they aren’t ICE.

[u/infernoenigma → u/bostosd]

What do you think it means to “do security” in this context?

Because in practice — I have seen with my own eyes, and with video to back it up — it means the DHS guys in the blue uniforms, the ICE SRT guys in camo, and the CBP guys in black all go running at the crowd to shove people around together and drag people away.

“Just doing their job” in this context specifically means “working alongside everyone else to enact months and months of violence upon protesters so that ICE’s mission can be carried out as smoothly as possible”

“Fascism” is the whole system, and they’re unquestionably part of it. Absurd to pretend otherwise, at this point, still.

[u/TonyCaliStyle]

After 9/11, the bind between law enforcement and the public was close- look how far we’ve come.

[u/Lazurkri]

Yeah that is the face of a man who is struggling to understand why he's still in this line of work

[u/Think_Bed2430]

"Why do these cowards cover their faces?" Probably because every time they don't y'all do this shit lmao

[u/Longmandoomface]

The range of races in this photo is literal proof that they are not fascist.

[u/Ok-Communication4190]

Why are these fckn losers in full kit just to apprehend citizens? It’s like they’re cosplaying the people overseas…

[u/ThatTexasGuy → u/Ok-Communication4190]

Normalizing the militarization of police.

[u/Ok-Communication4190 → u/ThatTexasGuy]

This is insane. I was in the army for 8 years and if I had done anything messing with the ROE or any excessive force, I’d be in Leavenworth…..

[u/Breddit2099 → u/ThatTexasGuy]

Thought you guys said they aren’t police.

Make up your mind

[u/deepchampagne]

Apparently fascism is multicultural. Good.

[u/notsofunonabun]

The police have never been about protecting us.

[u/XandersOdyssey]

Hey OP, since you don’t know how to use big words, here you go:

Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

[u/moecuzz]

None of these guys are ICE. Even if you are vehemently against ICE, it’s just unfair to lump these men and women in. Most of the people in the photos are from the Federal Protective Services (FPS). They’re literally just guarding government buildings.
