Trump's promised ICE raids have begun

[arthwollipot]

Look, the cruelty is not only intentional, it is by design. The playbook is straight out of Machiavelli. You accuse your opponents of being violent, then do everything you can to provoke them into violence so you can send in the military to take over. This is why the frog costumes are so important - they deny the narrative.

ICE lock up U.S. citizen in leg chains for 7 hours—for taking pictures.

"They surrounded car and pointed guns at me," she said.

"I was scared they were impersonating... maybe I was getting kidnapped?"

When she asked to call lawyer—they told her "all the land lines are down."

"They chained my legs up and they put me in a cell for seven hours... I refused to answer any questions."

ICE issued a statement claiming that she was driving reckless "over a curb" and "coordinating with another vehicle."

Berenice Garcia-Hernandez was eventually fingerprinted, booked, and released—but both her phone and engagement ring are still confiscated as evidence.

The incident occurred near a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Gresham, Oregon

Gresham is a suburb of Portland. That's all it takes.

Homeland Security statement on the arrested teacher.
Keep in mind the school director confirmed the woman was a teacher there.

How do you people sleep at night after lying all day to the American people like this?

ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside.

Here is the real story:

Officers attempted to conduct a targeted traffic stop of this female illegal alien from Colombia.

Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over.

Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle. They ran into a daycare and attempted to barricade themselves inside the daycare—recklessly endangering the children inside.

The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school. Upon arrest, she lied about her identity.

The vehicle is registered to in her name, though she claims that she didn’t know the man who was driving her car and just picked him up from a bus stop.

Facts including criminality and information on the male assailant are forthcoming and we will update the public with more information as soon as it becomes available.

Well...OK, but if you are just standing around in frog costumes, you might be denying one narrative, but you sure ain't impeding any of the others.

What are the "others"?

What are th"others"?

Oh, I don't know... yanking people off the street and disappearing them, while a bunch of guys stand around in frog costumes denying a narrative?

Eta: I mean I get the idea- you're not giving them what they expect, so they can't really unleash the dogs on you. But if you are standing around in a frog costume, they can shrug and go back to raping, pillaging, and plundering unimpeded.

Sounds good, but how much credibility do you think these idiots will lose if they do the same thing to a costumed frog, and besides, laughter is one of the best weapons against stupid people like the fat clown and his maga weirdoes.

The fat clown can't stand being laughed at, and It's why he went after Kimmel and many of the others.

The stress alone might hasten his inevitable pop.

TBH, I don't think that'll be a bad thing.


ETA: It's only a matter of time before he orders his gestapo to go after them because he'll think their undocumented immigrants, plus it proves wearing a mask is a hilariously stupid thing.

I support the frogs for that last reason alone.

Oh, I agree, passive ridicule can be a powerful tool. But it is literally ignorable, if the opposition chooses to. Time and place, and all that. There's a time to mock, and a time to move fast and break things.

Well, I can't argue with you too much about that, but I disagree that it's ignorable.

After all (like I added in my post after you quoted it), it's only a matter of time before the fat clown orders his gestapo to go after them because he'll think their undocumented immigrants in disguise*, plus it proves wearing a mask is a laughably stupid thing to do.

I support the frogs for that last reason alone, and besides, how long do you think you could ignore a dancing frog?


*ETA: It'll also give a whole to meaning to the phrase, being frog marched to jail.

The current administration has done nothing other than move fast and break things. It was DOGE's motto, remember?

They are trying to provoke violence in response. If they can do that, the whole manufactured myth of leftist antifa terrorists suddenly becomes true and justifies everything they have done, are doing, and will do.

Stay strong and keep the peace. Break the peace, even for a moment, and they will have won.

Witnesses say agents "breached" the private property—physically removing the chains off the gate and throwing them to the ground.

About 20 to 50 agents and 10 unmarked vehicles raided the Home Depot in the Cypress Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Black Friday starts earlier and earlier every year.

But from what I have seen here, the ICEstapo has not just shrugged it off, but has attacked the frogs — remember the frog that got pepper spray through the air vent? So it seems that the frogs are very effective.

Let's not forget this icehole took a $50,000 bribe.

He thought he was signing up for ICE.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

I'm starting to see a common occurrence in these claims from ICE. Apparently "x was ramming our car and running us off the road" and implying others are ambushing them is the new CYA phrase.

That's quite impressive. The global average for running a mile is 5.76mph (10:25 min/mile) but your walking pace is 13% faster than the average person runs.

Frankly I'm shocked that 2/3 of their recruits are even doing 1.5 miles in 14 minutes without assistance.

That global average is from a fitness app where the numbers are in effect self reported. My guess is the runners are being drowned out by a lot of walkers.

It's the other way around. US police forces have been appointing those who flunked out of basic for decades now. Your average police officer in the US is somebody considered to be unsuitable due to mental incapacity, physical.unfitness or being too dumb, to join the Army.

 

[wareyin]

That global average is from a fitness app where the numbers are in effect self reported. My guess is the runners are being drowned out by a lot of walkers.

Indeed, but you also claimed that your walking pace was at least 6.5mph. I'm just pointing out that I think you might be overestimating your speed, or possibly confusing kph with mph?
6.5 mph is still fast enough for a passing score if you're a male in your 30's in the US Army, and is also faster than the average running pace according to multiple sources.

 

[W.D.Clinger]

6.5 mph is still fast enough for a passing score if you're a male in your 30's in the US Army, and is also faster than the average running pace according to multiple sources.

At a 5km race earlier this year, I finished first in my 70+ male age group. Only 15% of the 200+ finishers ran faster than 6.5 mph.

In my prime, I'd have finished first overall in that race. I have, for example, run 10 miles in 60 minutes flat, which is 10 mph. At my septuagenarian age, my race times are now about 50% slower. Six years ago, for example, I ran a half-marathon a little faster than 9 minutes per mile: 6.7 mph. Of the 300+ who finished the most recent running of that half-marathon, only 40% ran faster than 9 minutes per mile. I can assure everyone here that the self-selected group of runners who finished that half-marathon are considerably more fit and faster than the average American.

Running two miles at 9 minutes per mile would score 74 points on the new US Army Fitness Test. That's for a 20-year-old recruit. Scoring 75 age-graded points on each of the test's four parts would be a passing score. For an officer over 62 years of age, that 6.7 mph pace would score 97 points of the 100 possible. (My current level of fitness approximates the lowest passing score for a 20-year-old; I would score highest on the two-mile run and plank tests.)

Sandwich terrorist found not guilty.

Washington — A man who was charged with throwing a sandwich at a federal agent was found not guilty of one count of misdemeanor assault after a jury trial in Washington, D.C.

The acquittal of the man, Sean Dunn, comes after federal prosecutors failed to secure a felony indictment against him from a grand jury in Washington in the immediate aftermath of the incident. He instead faced a federal misdemeanor assault charge for allegedly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal officer.

According to charging documents, Dunn threw a "submarine-style sandwich" at a Customs and Border Patrol officer stationed at a busy intersection in Northwest Washington in August. The incident was widely publicized and quickly became a symbol of resistance against President Trump's federal policing crackdown and National Guard deployment in the nation's capital, which is now in its third month.
