Autoritarian states don't give a fuck.
Autoritarian states don't give a fuck.
Heartless people. Where on earth do they find them? I can’t believe this one. I am going to check it out.
They are Nazis. They are literally Nazis.
ICE is out of control
No. They are in control, and escalating the violence.
Could Bluesky please make an angry face reaction? As angry as someone could possibly look?
Who are these people who work for ICE? Do they have no conscience at all? Are they “just following orders” a la Eichmann? If this is what they are willing to do right now, there is no limit to what they will do in the future.
Correct. Authoritarian institutions attract authoritarians, sociopaths, narcissists, bullies, the callous, the self-righteous, etc. Without systems in place to REGULATE and prevent systemic corruption by self-selection bias, we end up with a system that's run and operated by pathological people.
Well, in fact, that is exactly what they are saying. www.newsweek.com/ice-director...
Geezus. Of course, I’m not surprised. This is from the Pulitzer Prize winning “Maus”
Incidentally, Maus is one of the books they want to ban. Wonder why...
It’s already been banned by several libraries since it was first published.
ICE is equal parts cruel and incompetent
Are these people really ICE? Hard to tell with their masks. They may be Trump supporter vigilantes being fed intel to help ICE. Modern day Brownshirts.

I have felt that all along. And pardoned Jan 6 terrorists
#TreasonWeasels
As they always say: The cruelty is the point.
Oh no, they doing exactly what they intend. They are fully competent on the cruelty, which is their primary goal. They know exactly what they’re doing.
Came here to say this. You only call them incompetent if you believe they're not trying to hurt children.
Hurting kids is how you teach both kids and adults to stay “in line”
I ncompetent C ruel E vil
Pure, unadulterated evil. Let’s not give them an out by suggesting it is incompetence.
Because ICE is composed of deputized members of hate groups- domestic terrorists.
Competent in their cruelty, though.
And of course, the cruelty is the point, so it checks…. See Hannah Arendt’s thoughts on the bananity of evil…
Is that a real Lincoln quote?
Yes. According to rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln78.html, its attributed in The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume II, "Letter to Joshua F. Speed" (August 24, 1855), p. 323.
Thanks for offering a citation. Looks legit, though I can't pick up the book and check its own sources, ha ha
If got the book then you’d need the authors notes on where info was sourced
It’s a pretty-famous quote, & appears on eg US NATL Park service website: www.nps.gov/liho/learn/h... And on Abe Lincoln online: www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/spee... (It’s not a spurious quote…. )
Here’s a scan of original letter to Speed, from Lincoln presidential library (BTW, it was interesting to see Know Nothing nativist party referenced in the film, “Gangs of New York”, a factionalized version of Butcher Bill Poole played by Daniel Day Lewis): papersofabrahamlincoln.org/documents/D2...
Actually here’s the letter (dated 1855, not 1843, an earlier letter Abe wrote to Speed). papersofabrahamlincoln.org/documents/D2...
Thanks for all these responses. I wasn’t picking, just admitting I recognized the limits of what I could do with a look at that page of quotes 👍🏽
Which puts burden on child protection systems that don’t have enough time, energy or money to take another child into custody.
Three minor children were left in a car at a gas station in CA when proud boys ice took their father. No IDs, unmarked, no warrant.
Another CPS report against ICE.
Cold hearted fascists. Nothing less than that.
This is criminal.
Zip tie ALL these #traitors to each other and/or the nearest stationary object. Block the streets. Deflate all the tires, pepper spray the only part of their faces not wrapped in masks, block ALL their comms
Watch any recorded videos of all of these events. Capture stills of any faces of federal agents and start circulating online.
That triggered a malware attempt on my PC.
Impeachment is up for vote by May 15 in House! m.youtube.com/watch?v=dvGQ... Call and email Reps. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Tell them loud: Vote yes! Reintroduce every 3 days till it passes! (Please repost)
They. Don't. Care. About. Brown. Kids. ICE literally do not see brown kids as people, as human.
These really are the worst human beings. Inadequate little men revelling in the chance to LARP as cops and play the big man by bullying the rest of society. There need to be prosecutions and stiff sentences for these people and all the assholes who have empowered them
*treasonweasels
But Republicans care about children..../s
Shouldn't someone be charging these people with child endangerment at the very least? This is like the 4th story I've read about children being abandoned during an ICE abduction which means it has probably happened countless times. Just so fucked.
If anything they'll add that charge to the parent.
qualified immunity. law enforcement is immune to justice as long as they can claim what they're doing is part of their job
Far from being part of their official function, endangering a minor would be better characterized as a *violation* of their duties as civil servants.
I agree with you but the courts have stated law enforcement can lie as part of their job, I wouldn't be surprised if these courts found child endangerment also within their unlimited purview
There are obvious cases where law enforcement should be able to lie as part of their job (e.g., undercover operations). Context matters, and I'm sure the courts would agree, that lying to someone about their Miranda rights is different than lying to someone trying to hire a hitman.
Cops ARE allowed to lie during questioning and only have to read Miranda rights once an arrest is made. Cops can detain you and continually lie about it to get some kind of reaction out of you to justify arresting you. That's why the only responses should be "am I detained" "I want a lawyer"
They can use deception to elicit a confession ("we found the gun and your fingerprints are on it"). There is a rational basis for that ruling. No such argument can be made for putting a child in danger because calling protective services was too much effort.
SCOTUS ruled that cops don't have an obligation to protect people back in the 2000s. www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/p...
But they didn't create the situation that endangered that person. It was a failure of omission. Not the same as detaining a parent and abandoning the child curbside.
Is this kidnapping of a parent really any different than police endangerment of children by not intervening in the Uvalde school shooting?
No. I know how horrible things are. But, let’s not make up shit that will definitely not happen.
SCOTUS ruled back in the 2000s that cops don't have a duty to protect people www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/p...
I am not sure which of my posts elicited from you this response. I am an attorney. It might be worthwhile to delve into the specifics of the SCOTUS opinion and its scope, but I am not really in the mood. As an attorney, I represented a union of peace officers.
There are duties owed by the police and peace officers due to their positions and public service that at least indirectly if not directly require they protect the public. SCOTUS only said it does not raise to a constitutional level under the due process clause. I think SCOTUS was wrong.
Horrible? Things have been “horrible”. “Law enforcement” has been murdering plp w/out repercussions because they are the blue KKKlan. You must just now be paying attention.
You are quick to jump to conclusions aren't you. And, like so many others on social media you read shit to build your own ego. You know nothing about me. I am an attorney who has sued law enforcement and govt for civil rights violations and also been a union attorney for peace officers,.
You’re telling on yourself. “Every accusation is a confession”. I AM A BLACK/AFRICAN MAN. A PUERTO RICAN MAN. I responded cause your comment pissed me TF off. Trump is a symptom & like COVID everyone is pretending his effects aren’t real. I wake up daily to a genocide against me & my plp 1/3
“EGO” & “Peace officers”? SMDH. I mentioned none of my career experience, but WHO I AM as I’ve been racialized by this system since its inception. Do you have to worry about “law enforcement” daily? I don’t think you do. Fuck the police. Cause they already know my stance. 🖕🏽 2/3
I’m tired of wyt plp or whatever you are, pretending that this country had some sort of morals & honor before Trump. The only difference is Trump is throwing a political coup currently. Same wyt supremacist saltine system leaving us dry in the mouth choking w/out agua. So fuck you & your ego. 3/3
But are they really trained law enforcement or untrained contracted MAGA 1/6ers ?
you think there's a difference between those two groups?
Hmmm they can’t be arrested because they were “just following orders”…why does that sound familiar?
Agreed. but when corruption is as rampant and obvious and unbridled as it is now, I'm finding out nothing is as it should be. It makes me weep.
Too much discussion related to legal aspects of ICE abducting adults and endangering their abandon child. What the hell ever happened to civil rights, human rights and plain human decency? Wake up America! This crap isn’t happening in Afghanistan or Iran. You’re now living in an Authoritian state.
They did that a few days ago, too, taking a parent and leaving kids in a car!
I guess it would only be bad if they'd abandoned a blond, christian child.
Ugh, that's horrifying
This is fucking evil & they should be charged with Child Abuse & Neglect, suspended& terminated. No citizen is above the law.
🤬
It's horrible, but the kid was better off not being in ICE custody.
again?!?
One thing is for sure: Trump is bringing community back when it comes to watching out for each other.
Great country
Evil
Of course because these are not trained professionals. Take the masks off now
It illustrates what they are doing: stealing people away from their loved ones. Creating orphans, essentially.
We need to get trained up in MA to be ready to support and assist in these incidents - during and after. This is our new normal - not an aberration.
We are descending into a moral vacuum. An all engulfing moral vacuum.
Conservatives: “Well he should of thought about that before applying for Asylum and legally going through the legal process”
Unless he's white, then welcome to America!
They should be charged for child abandonment, putting a child in harms way
Love how quickly a ‘policy reminder’ turns into a full Gestapo reenactment. The party of 'family values'—protect the unborn, then leave living, breathing kids in cages or on the street after deporting their parents. Truly heartwarming
These ICE thugs are reprehensible, evil, people. They are the modern day SS.
So parents face judges b/c they let their kids play at the park, but these “agents” can get away with abandoning a traumatized 12yo on the street. 😡😡😡
I think this is because these people aren’t traditional ICE agents. They are untrained goons hired to round up people.
gestapo.
The hatred and cruelty are abhorrent. It’s sadistic! For the love of God!
ICE is made up of deputized & empowered magats, who remain devoid of empathy, emotional intelligence and morals.
bsky.app/profile/lyni...
So just 2 magats cosplaying law enforcement?
Shit is easy when you don't care.
📌
These fuckers !
that kid's definitely getting trafficked into betsy de vos's adoption agency.
They can’t wait for Child Protective Services to show up.
why the fuck can't they?
This is very close to home for me. I'd like to know how the Mayor feels about it.
Mortifying stuff
Keep a record, all the ICE guys responsible must be jailed when sanity returns. Can't you shoot kidnappers who have no warrant or proper uniform? - asking for well armed angry friends.
There is no precedent for that happening and no reason to think it's gonna happen anytime soon, either.
I hope someone called CPS On their asses
Que país de merda. Namoral!
These fuckers need to start being prosecuted.
But sure, I have some idiot on FB telling me it was so much worse under Obama….
Could you imagine the outrage if the child left behind was that of a wealthy individual whose nanny got picked up? Let’s all admit that’s exactly what it’ll take to get through to the MAGA GOP.
They claim they are trying to prevent child trafficking by immigrants. Leaving unattended children on the street would seem to impede this goal.
@massgovernor.bsky.social Governor Maura Healey, when are you going to do something about these criminals terrorizing your communities and harming children?
www.mass.gov/how-to/repor...
It’s heartbreaking, wrong, but not surprising. These people lack humanity.
I am surprised that the white supremacist Nazi evangelicals haven’t called this their fucking rapture
Can’t rationalize morality and ethics with people who HATE their fellow humans. On top of that, their church and the criminal organization running the country are giving them PERMISSION to act on their hate.
Of course they did. These people have no soul or conscience.
cruelty is the point....PLUS, ICE does NOT consider immigrants as human beings, so leaving a child abandoned? perfectly fine...definitely totally Christian as Christ spoke only to humans
This has got to be stopped.
Well if it was a girl they could have given her 2-3 dolls
These guys cannot be real ice agents. They cannot be real cops. I don’t even think the ice agents would treat people like this. These people are hired off the books

serious question...how do these ICE agents sleep at night?
Scumbags
I read over tje weekend ice arrested a guy who was filling up his trick and they just fucking left the two kids in the truck. Its a fucking disgrace.
Isn’t that a crime? Child abandonment or something?
I say this all the time. I don't think many of these "ICE Agents" were properly vetted and trained.
Harriet Tubman 2.0
Unimaginable acts.
Scoundrels enabled by depraved Republicans
Fucking ASS HOLES!
Except it it is made up. The migrant parent has the choice to leave the child or accompany them back to their home country. It's unfortunate, but that's the reality. The parents are aware they can manipulate the system, knowing their children will be left behind. They consciously choose to do so.
I have watched videos of this happening. They're not hard to find. Phone cameras are everywhere. If you can't take the time to sit and watch at least one of the videos and force yourself to take in the soul-wrending, terrified screams, accept the fact that you'd rather swallow propaganda.
This is what evil looks like. These people, these *kids*, aren't even human to MAGA. Every day that Americans allow this to happen is a black mark on the entire country.
We need to keep a list for reconciliation and punishment of such crimes here...its feeling more and more like South Africa every day, no wonder racist Afrikaners want to migrate here.
Arrest ICE.
This is more proof that these so called ICE agents are not trained & likely proud boys
What? This is exactly what ICE agents train to do.
Where is Gov Healey? @markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov
Pro-life huh?
I'm confident the pro-life party will be all over this.
"The cruelty is the point"
Jesus Christ they did it again
Are we great again yet? We must be, at this rate, surely?
There seems to be no shortage of employees for their goon squads. Who in hell takes a job like this!
Goons, apparently
😂
Proud Boys and OathKeepers who attacked Capitol Police after Felon47 let them out of jail, is why they wear masks and no ID. Anyone surprised?
Isn’t it time somebody - Anonymous? - worked on doxxing them? I have no related skills or I would. It’s illegal for them to be masked, even if nobody’s home at the DOJ to enforce the law. And there’s no law against simple doxxing, without threats.
I agree that’s who they are.
I agree it’s the j6rs.
There are moments when I just hate these people so much that I struggle to find the words, and I struggle to avoid advocating violence, because then he'll just use the Insurrection Act to do worse things. I'm all out of coping skills right now.
I get the feeling these ICE people have minimal training
And are they actually feceral employees? Some people are are saying they are contractors from some Blackwater-esque company. Maybe just a rumour but I think reporters should nsil down who these people are
Jeezus
Child endangerment.
I'd be willing to bet money that at least 75% of these ICE assholes would score high on a sociopath test.
If we are fortunate enough to have elections in ‘26 and ‘28 and take back our country, I wouldn’t be surprised if the personnel records of ICE are “lost” in an unexpected electronic mishap.
Isn’t endangerment of a child a crime? And can’t local authorities charge the ICE thugs, so Trump cannot pardon them?
I hope someone helped the child
What is happening to all of these children? We never hear follow up stories, nor do we know what happened to the people who were taken who were trying to help the immigrants and also got taken. This silence after the fact is horrifying to me. Those parents must be FRANTIC.
those are not real police they are the Gestapo and they are heartless
Nobody is doing a God damn thing! WTF? 🤬🤬🤬
Abolish ICE
bsky.app/profile/lyni...
More like restrain ICE (as well as FBI, CIA, DoD, HSI, US Postal Inspectors or any other agency that carries a gun, or a staple gun (eg IRS) do can be weaponized and abused by DT).
I see what you're trying to say, but no. Don't normalize the gestapo by comparing them to legitimate government agencies. ICE is a state sponsored terrorist network, something that should NEVER exist in America. The OP is right: they must be abolished.
Miss point much? IRS agents are no more immune than ICE is (anyone who’s studied Nixon era knows how he ordered audits of political opponents, all part of an abuse of power). There’s not a Fed. agency immune to abuse by an unleashed tyrant. Anyone who’s studied how authoritarian regimes operate
Your point and my point aren't the same points. You're saying any federal agent can be weaponized - but that concedes they serve a peacetime role as well. I'm saying ICE cannot be *de*weaponized; they serve no other purpose than state sponsored terrorism. That's why they should be abolished.
You do know what ICE does? (Hint: it’s in the acronym, Immigration & CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT). So if you wave a magical wand & somehow instantly eliminate ICE, who’s going to collect at customs at US ports of entry (including DT’s tariffs)? www.usa.gov/agencies/u-s...
It was weaponized at invention by being a "new" agency specializing in doing things we already had systems for, absorbing/replacing them for no good reason. Post 9/11 insanity was bipartisan and has done so much fucking damage to our culture, country, government.
knows eg Gestapo relied on pencil-pushing admins at HQ to support their murderous pogroms (Hannah Arendt referred to it as “the banality of evil”, where eg nurses & physicians (eg Dr Mengele) committed atrocities & crimes against humanity, per pseudo-scientific NAZI Aryan white supremacy ideology).
Anyone who thinks problem is confined to 1 agency (ICE) is a naïve dreamer, a fool who slept thru HS Civics, so doesn’t know how Govt works (hint: in order to abolish agency GOP love, Dems need to retake both chambers to abolish it. DT doesn’t even bother w/Congressional approval, even tho’ he must)
abolish cheetolini’s regime in its entirety 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Didn't this just happen a couple of days ago with two kids left in the truck after they took an adult?
In that case one of the people in the truck was 19 so not exactly the same.
True, but the 19 yr old couldn’t drive, so they were stuck at the gas station.
Still not okay though.
Isn't this considered child endangerment? It should be and those agents, or "agents," should be held accountable.
That's why they wear masks.
Please tell the after-action report has the agents' names on it - their real name, not their gang names like "Big Balls" or "Patriot Dick."
It does but at most they'll do an "internal investigation" where they conclude that everything was handled properly and there's no reason to release the names.
we need public trials, and punishments
ICE agents should be tied to poles and publicly disemboweled.
United States of Venezuela
This should be getting much more coverage than a 2 line sentence. This is becoming a common occurrence in the US as the terrorists called "ICE" , "FBI" , "ATF" and "Proud Boys"
If they report on it too much they might lose their press-passes and access to head fascists. That is what matters most to news media in general.
Its distinguishing and hopefully they realize without providing us with news that matters they fail and no longer matter to the real majority!
Kidnap, aggressively remove and disappear people without criminal histories and either steal the children, deport this withMedical needs , such as treatment for cancer, or leave the children abandoned on the streets throughout America
This is Great ? This is not worthy of front page news stories? Of we are going to "save" American, then the horrific violations of the law, human rights, and the Constitution must
Remain facts and top stories everyday that It continues Factual Information forces their hand every time Gracia's returns needs to be at a forefront, these are Supreme Court orders being disregarded That's imperative , top story news

Is this happening in red states?
There were two children left in a Pickup Truck by ICE GOONS in masks and war gear. Now this 12 year old. I am sure there are more. Charge them with Endangering the Life of a minor!!!!
At one point, the councilor was on a sidewalk when she recorded an ICE agent driving their car at her and onto the sidewalk. To intimidate her.
This is child abuse and child abuse isn’t legal in any state.
by anyone, including a government of psychos and sickos
Or moral, which is more important. For all we know they will be trying to legalize child abuse within the next four years.
You may already know: He did sign an EO allowing corporal punishment of children in schools
It's legal in The Police State
We as US citizens should be able to take their masks off! No identification, who wouldn't fight back. This is not the US I know!
"what does your dad do?" he puts on a mask, drives his car at ppl recording him, kidnaps adults and leaves children on the side of the road by themselves.
i mean. you don’t need to. it’s what happens when fascists take over. it’s old and often repeated.
#ICEMonsters love hurting children.
Maga Rouge considers anyone older than 7 as independent adults.
Well, they left a 6-year old at a gas station in Ca after they kidnapped the dad. 😡
“maga rouge”!
That’s just regarding sexual consent with creepy conservative adults. It does not mean they get to independently checkout books at the library about racial justice or novels with gay characters.. nor can they medical decisions about things like gender
that's regarding the definition of a dependent now.
Ice used their vehicle as a weapon? That is an attempted assault, illegal
Typical Gestapo move. Read your history. Snatching people off the street should be illegal.
That poor kid. ICE is traumatizing people, once again 😐
Everyone involved needs to be imprisoned.
Child endangerment. Charges. Jail.
These stories never clarify if the agents have guidelines about minors that they’re refusing to follow. Most law enforcement agencies do, no?
Do you really think it would change their behavior if there were guidelines? More to the point, what kind of monster needs to be told not to do that in the first place?
Oh I’m with you. I just wonder if it’s a requirement in their own regulations. They are monsters to the core just for opting into this effort. I wonder if their new and improved rulebook actually advises them to leave minors behind?
Stop calling them ICE and start calling them by their formal name: Gestapo.
Right? Some of the pictures I’ve seen these fools are not in uniform and all have their faces covered. Quite believable that they might not even be ICE agents in the first place.
That's because they a Proud Boys, not Federal Agents.
I’m not being petty when I say the proud boys no longer own this name. A judge awarded it to the Black church that was vandalized by the proud boys. Not being petty; just LOVE the surprising outcome of this story and so I yell it from the rooftops when it comes up.🤭 apnews.com/article/prou...
I'm mildly surprised the parents aren't being charged with child abandonment, since facts absolutely do not matter in maximum-cruelty bizarro world.
They wear masks because they’re hiding from their ugly mission. Take off your masks & show us what “men” you are. Shame!!!
ICE are FUCKING ANIMALS
Wow. There is no need to be that evil.
Soulless ghouls will do anything to collect a paycheck. Without their balaclavas, they walk amongst us.
