Department of Homeland Security agents were seen abandoning one attempt to arrest a man in Chicago over the weekend after being outnumbered by protesters. In at least one case, the Chicago Police Department was ordered not to assist federal agents swarmed by demonstrators, according to reports.
In videos circulated on Instagram, two masked agents could be seen trying to take a man into custody in the middle of a busy street.
Drivers shouted at the federal agents and blew their horns as onlookers gathered. The struggle went on for several minutes before the agents released the man and fled in an unmarked vehicle.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Chicago officers were instructed not to respond to the U.S. Border Patrol's calls for help in another incident where a vehicle was rammed and a person was shot.

(13,284 posts)ICE agents to try to go into the South Side of Chicago. This is one time I would be on the side of the Vice Lords et al. In fact, if Pritzker really wants to get rid of them, he could somehow get the cops to make a secret deal with the gangs to protect the immigrants and fight off ICE.

(648 posts)So these confrontations will enable them to invoke the Insurrection Act and use the entire U.S. military to impose Martial Law..........across the entire nation, but overwhelmingly against BLUE states..............
We are all damned if we do, damned if we don't................This is all planned, orchestrated, and being carried out step by step...............

(20,497 posts)Police should NOT allow laws to be broken and citizens harmed. ARREST the ones creating the damage. I'm not up on what needs to happen to allow martial law, BUT we cannot allow citizens continue to get harmed.

(25,781 posts)doesn't, then the entire game changes. tRUMP and his goons will face an angry American public that will put any prior protests / actions to a tiny fraction of what is to come. The silent majority will realize the dangers of tRUMP and his goons, and turn on a dime everywhere against everything tRUMP.
It hasn't happened yet, but I have a funny feeling that tRUMP will lose his patience and demand that ICE get far more aggressive, pulling out their weapons and using them, per tRUMP's approval. Should tRUMP authorize such actions, his immunity should be null and void immediately.

(20,522 posts)Part of the B.S. "mythology" surrounding Trump is that he says offensive, outrageous things, and every time there's blowback, someone steps up and says "That's just Trump being Trump."
America should have run for the hills when he made that "Dictator on Day 1" comment, because he DID behave like a dictator on day one, and every day since.
We're talking about someone who had peaceful locals tear-gassed so he could walk to a church and hold an upside-down Bible for a photo op.

Trump seems to take great delight in seeing people physically harmed. Part of his rapist's mentality is centered on cruelty, humiliation, domination.
I think there's probably more fact than fiction behind his "5th Avenue" fantasy.

He couldn't have gotten where he is without ALL of their help, let alone be able to continue to Occupy the White House................
We need to quit saying Trump, and say the Republican Party.............THEY are completely responsible for the entire mess being created and Trump and his CABAL remaining in power...........

(13,686 posts)they debated about what to do about a President who might use his standing military against individual States, oppressing the freedoms of its citizens. This is precisely why we have a 2nd Amendment, to resist a monarchical president. Preferably using a well-regulated militia, the freedoms of the citizens will be defended under the Constitution.

"It's a war zone where we aren't allowed to use the restrooms?"
Yes, the Germans knew they were in a war zone in Poland when they were not allowed to use the Polish restrooms.
Dig a latrine, Kristi.

ICE (La Migra) are terrorists... domestic terrorists. Lucky there were only 2 of them ... when there are big groups of these goons an individual doesn't stand a chance. I'm furious.

(92 posts)Note that these people seem to be required to use their own personal vehicle for this stuff. So, no badge, no name, no official vehicle. As far as I can tell these are private citizens pretending to be law enforcement. Should be arrested on the spot.

(8,498 posts)Same as "ICE" does to "suspected illegal immigrants" -- round them up and let them prove their identity down at the station.
These unmarked, masked thugs must be stopped.

jerkoffs were not trained at anything by anyone.
They are total amateurs, not even bounty hunters or semi tough bar brawlers, just shithead posers.
I could not tell if thje one dressed in brown was tryingto arrest the citizen or screw him.

(114,045 posts)I know that because I live in a sanctuary city where the local cops are legally prevented from assisting either border control or ICE.
I imagine the cops who aren't stone bigots will be glad to get back to their own work, which has undoubtedly been piling up during this cluster fuck.
