Full local news coverage by KTLA 5 ⬇️ Pasadena is currently the target of multiple ICE raids. Masked plainclothes agents wearing bulletproof vests were also seen questioning men on a park bench—arresting them along with other day laborers. The men were put into an unmarked minivan & taken away.
Jokes gonna be on ALL y'all when Vinny and Giovanni charge 4x as much to mow your lawns.
The real problem with masked, plainclothes ICE agents? Local police aren’t arresting them. If you or I wore face coverings and unmarked clothes bought off Amazon, without ID and assaulting people, we’d be in jail. Why are they getting a pass?
Agents? Agents of what? We don’t know who they are. When are people going to take matters into their own hands? I remember the community stopped Richard Ramirez on the street. Can we do that here? This is some BS.
They’re bounty hunters and they’re getting money per migrant… it’s abhorrent and shouldn’t have been allowed by any politician
Some concerned representative might just write a very strong letter
If they are bounty hunters, then the amnesty for farm and hotel workers is bullshit. There certainly isn’t any due process about where a bounty hunter kidnapped a person.
I never for a second believed that exemption for farm and hotel workers.
The Stock Market believed it.

Do you have a source that isn't a random reddit post
This article says it is just a guy saying this but it was published earlier this year. Maybe this sicko was really trying to warn us?? amp.tri-cityherald.com/news/politic...
Sounds like you're standard issue local nazi crank trying to sound tough. But who knows! I don't think it's all impossible. I just also don't think it's possible that this large a secret could be kept this well by this many demonstrably stupid people.
is this not the exact same footage from the tiktok

These are absolutely federal agents of one of the DHS agencies. People need to stop spreading misinformation about this.
How do you know that?
🧐
If you go to the TikTok video it has a link to the YouTube page for the municipality, and there's a ~90 minute municipal hearing, with this guy being the last speaker. I can't attest to the truth of it, but it was said months ago. bsky.app/profile/msgr...
Yes. Makes you curious, doesn't it? Well?

Unfortunately, we don't know who the person in this video is or who the people conducting some other captures are, so we don't know if they are or aren't bounty hunters.
Source that they’re not? After Minnesota I don’t believe LEO in uniform are legit. No license plates? No ID? Drawing arms like that? They’re goons.
That's not how proving claims works. These are cops and agents, not random boogeymen.
The guy in Minnesota was wearing a mask over his face that was meant to look like a different face. Fuck ICE and all that, but if someone is crouching behind my vehicle like that I’m gonna consider them a possible threat also.
It's not been actively confirmed, but this interview sparked a lot of interest as to exactly why so many supposed agents seem to lack the basic features and behavior of trained government agents: www.nbcrightnow.com/news/alleged...
This isn’t your fault but: I’m so glad I can read an entire singular sentence and have the rest of it be littered with ads /s
I run pi-hole, noscript, and a few other goodies to keep my browsing experience clean...so yeah, I didn't see that (thankfully) either.
Why do you think the Cop City facilities were training civilian volunteers to arrest immigrants in the past few years? You remember that, right? Let's connect the dots here.
there’s no evidence of that. ICE aren’t dangerous and unaccountable because they’re NOT federal agents they’re scary and unaccountable because they ARE. there’s a lot of folks these days insisting they must not work for the government because they have a naive faith in the lie of america.
I think the ICE forces were rapidly expanding by hiring a bunch of J6 militia guys.
They've always recruited white supremacists and racists so that isn't in doubt here.
Exactly. To be clear, no one is trying to absolve actual federal agents from “following orders”… two things can be true at once: federal agents, and Jan6ers/bounty hunters can all be doing this dirty work.
Oh that is absolutely not true, there are plenty of people who claim every single one of these events arent actually ICE because "actual agents wouldn't do that". I see it on literally every post about ICE doing evil shit.
I’m sure there are, however that’s not what was inferred by saying that federal agents are not the only ones doing these raids…
Except it doesn't matter, because everyone doing them is deputized by ICE, meaning it's still all just ICE. Every law enforcement agency that is allowing officers to aid ICE is just working for ICE and should face the wall with them
only thing in doubt is the hiring part. they already worked there and just couldn’t make it. too busy preparing to break some deportation records with their new boss joe
that’s a conspiracy theory and it doesn’t even make sense. ICE employs 20,000 agents. there are SHOCKINGLY few of these white nationalist militia guys. of the over 700 people arrested after jan 6 can you guess how many were these organized extremists? 31. 28 cops or former cops.
the reality is border enforcement is made up of bottom of the barrel cops who either got fired or couldn’t make the cut to be a regular cop so they join ICE or CBP. yeah these guys give jan 6 vibes. it’s because they’ve ALWAYS been the same kinda guys for decades and decades, no conspiracy needed.
so i guess what i’m saying is it’s way worse than the conspiracy you’ve offered. CBP and ICE have always been fascists and there’s an order of magnitude more of them than there are militia guys. they’re friendly to militias, overlap with them significantly and always have.
I would make an exception for BORTAC as far as being bottom of the barrel. But that’s like…200 guys.
This. getting very tired of blueanon bullshit
Very much feels like it's a campaign to separate "real" ICE from "fake" ICE so that the "real" ICE can be left alone because they were good little boys obeying the law and only bad bad impersonators did the evil things, the federal agency is still good guys.
it simultaneously runs cover for the horrible abuses ICE and it’s counterparts have inflicted in the recent past. it refuses to grapple with the root of the problem: border enforcement. biden did that! obama did that! it can’t be *bad* can it!?? kill me
Which feels especially weird considering how new ICE is, how little history it has. I'm in my mid-40s and I'm old enough to be ICE's dad. Baffling how anyone could be so invested in needing to believe that the agency itself couldn't possibly be the problem.
here’s a wiki about the time the INS did a lot of the same shit ICE is doing now. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati... yeah the name IS just a slur. history of border enforcement is still extremely relevant despite the recency of the DHS
truth is dead
dangerous* not scary, edited my phrasing mid comment and messed up
Exactly correct
We're trying, Patty. They may be serial killers, but they're now moving in armed and armored caravans, so it's not quite as easy as tackling a dude. Support your local protesters, even when it gets messy.
I know. I don’t even know what I’d do at my Costco in La habra. I hope I’d have the guts to do something!!!
Please don't tackle any gangs of masked gunmen. But it's legal to record in public areas, and shouting profanity is firmly protected by the first amendment. ✊
"Federal agent".
do you even know it's a federal agent? not clear.
How do they know they're federal agents? FFS
Do we all need to be armed Now to prevent this?
They need to come up with something more official for ICE. Plain clothed, bandana, no license plates men are showing up kidnapping people. This is out of hand. Who is ice? It's disturbing.
Looks like an armed cartel to me.
I know you mean "federal agent" TY for bringing this to everyone's attention www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDKf... @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @joyannreid.bsky.social @velshi.com @ayman.msnbc.com @katiephang.bsky.social
Since no one in the administration is giving anybody any information or accountability, is it possible that these people have been deputized? They have access to where their prey is going to be. That has to be supplied by the government. I just assumed they were proud boys that were deputized.
Even if that's true, that doesn't relieve them of their obligation to identify themselves as "police" OR to show a warrant (just bc you claim to be a cop doesn't mean you have probable cause to detain). Otherwise you're just impersonating police, which is a felony
All true, but they clearly have no regard for the law anymore. Whatever is necessary. I'm sure Miller didn't even bother to have them deputized.
When the law returns to democratic (small "d") hands, the hands of people who believe in and abide by the law, that's the kind of fact that will make a difference in getting convictions
