I don’t know this source, but the videos are interesting. Major media outlets have not covered it, so I’m posting it.

      I’m still interested in the content, but you’re right. The bulk of the writing on that article are transcriptions of dialogue from the video, Jesus Christ, how low has the bar for journalism sunk in America that someone got paid to write what looks like a Twitter, Bluesky or random political blog post?

        Yeah, the video itself is the real content. We just should be skeptical that they ran away in fear. Feds being cowards is a taunt that’s heard frequently and we don’t really see the feds do anything other than get in a car and drive away.

          I have a feeling that they knew their situation could quickly devolve, and that authority for use of force might not be so clear cut in a situation where they were operating extrajudicially. Normally they’re not answering questions or accusations about their lack of warrants or legal purview, and it makes me wonder if they actually were working off the books and had no backup once people started to challenge them?

      Usually the international press would cover it. I guess you could be right though, they don’t want their own people getting ideas about their own fascist take overs either.

    Ah, patriotism… I’m starting to remember the feeling.

    But it ain’t ICE that are the patriots here.

    The Trump administration claims they are not skimping on training or lowering standards with their hiring of ICE and HSI agents.

    Ha. As though they bother training jackbooted thugs to begin with.

    This is a fucking joke, right?! Look at this guy. Thought he was the “civilian” at first! He’s a kid with a gun. Guess what chicken butt? I got a gun too. Want to see it?!

    Fucking. Fight. Back.

    ATM, phones are better than guns, but be prepared to use the later option.
