The irony of two ICE agents, one black and one seemingly a Cuban immigrant, racially profiling a black man and cuffing him and carting him off without ever even identifying him because they say he’s an immigrant.

It kills me how often these videos show brown and black ICE agents violating the US Constitution to abduct and beat people for being brown or black. I don’t care how much ICE pays, it’s not worth selling out your own values and everything that was supposed to be good about this country.

    The only morbidly funny thing out of all this is these black and brown ICE agents’ coworkers are probably all slinging slurs about them behind their backs. They think they’re immune. They’re not, and they will find out sooner or later.

      Yeah, I’ve been called those same slurs and them being used on anyone doesn’t strike me as funny. It’s shit. A whole lot of people and families are hurting for money and ICE is offering a lot of that with zero training or experience.

      These people aren’t selling out people like themselves because they think it will keep them safe from anything. Most of them are probably doing it for the same reason any of us work awful jobs.

      Their kids were hungry and they had no money, saw a sign, applied half sarcastically, then actually got a job offer back for more than most people in the country make, starting next week.

      It’s not people being pieces of shit, it’s starving prisoners ratting on each other’s escape plans to get an extra crust of bread and not starve.

        If they’re only joining ICE for the money, they could at least be doing a bad job or recording their boss’s meeting for later evidence.

        I personally know a conservative Hispanic man. Real piece of shit. Would brag about his war crimes to me when I was a kid. Told be “they wanted to change the flag”, and when I sarcastically told him that might happen if Puerto Rico becomes a state, he thought I was a simpleton. Now he’s terrified of MS13 despite living in the North East.

        A lot of these race and class traitors are religious and that’s why they’re willing to turn on own. It’s just another wedge the elites use.

          No, it’s not. A lot of those places around here have gone to having 2-3 employees and making you do everything through their app before you show up.

          If you have to feed your kids you’re willing to do awful shit to manage that if you feel you have no other way. Most parents would rather beat a stranger than tell their kids to grab a few things cause it’s time to walk out the door and be homeless.

            Then they can go steal things from the rich instead of murdering strangers for the epstein class.

            I at least have respect for criminals. Cops are cucks for the empire.

              Do you have children? Do you think if you suddenly had no income and was about to lose your home with no family to turn to and nowhere to take them you could keep all of your bills paid in a stable manner by stealing from the rich?

              It’s really easy to be a keyboard warrior and say all the badass awesome things you’d do to keep your morals in a terrible situation while needing to keep your kids fed and safe and cared for when you have more than enough money to live and no kids in the first place.

        Bunch of BS. I don’t feel bad for ICE agents at all. They could have done literally anything else and made it work, take on two jobs, whatever - but they chose to be a Nazi and to work for Nazis. None of them deserve any sympathy.

        They didn’t join because they are desperate, they joined because it matches their fucked up ideologies.

          Just another person looking for excuses to hate others instead of caring to try to understand and help anyone different from yourself. That’s sad.

              You’re saying that to someone with the display name “Trump Rapes Kids” who posted this fucking video in the first place. Try to think a little deeper than some meme you read once. Read some philosophy, sociology, and ethics. Learn. Please.

              If you think reading, learning, and having an actual educated point of view on sociology and ethics of a situation are the tools of your enemy, you’ve lost the plot.

                  It’s insane that you folks seem to believe every single person who works for a genocidal regime is doing it because they’re an evil person and it just makes them happy to do evil things. It’s how a child looks at history.

                  People who do evil things don’t get to use the excuse they were just following orders, because they still did those things. But most people end up signing on because they need stability and an income. It’s a lot harder to whip up a genocidal army in a country with no poverty.

                  Plenty of people making over 400k/yr are completely horrible human beings, and they aren’t signing on for ICE because it would be a huge drop in their income. Many people living in poverty are mostly decent people and sign on because they feel they have no choice.

                  Understanding what leads evil groups to grow is sort of important, but if anyone dares say words with more depth and nuance than “I hates nazis!” a horde of people who have a tough time reading many words decide they must be trying to say genocide is alright and start this angsty childish shit.

                    And you don’t seem to understand that desperation is no excuse. Plenty of people are desperate, they don’t join the machine that makes them desperate, and make it worse for everyone else, they fight back.

                    Those that join The Machine are cowards, and if The Machine is as bad as MAGA, then they are also traitors and pedophiles.

                    Fully agree with this, but I’d like to add that signing up (without plans to sabotage) is already inexcusable (though I’m not arguing that it’s irredeemable- if we were to have a really effective denazification program, I don’t think every ICE officer is beyond rehabilitation), even if it’s understandable.

                    I don’t know if the word “hate” is fair, but I feel about ICE the way I’ve always felt about the US military- fuck ‘em, they’re class traitors. At least with the military, most people join at or just before age 18 and they’re shown a very utopian image of the military beforehand. People joining ICE don’t have those excuses.

                    Yes, they’re desperate and acting out of desperation and yes, the cause for this is both systemic and heavily supported by the bourgeoisie, who are the ultimate problem. If I don’t excuse an 18 year old for signing up to terrorize brown people in order to get healthcare and access to education, I’m not going to excuse a 35 year old for signing up for the same in order to get $50k.
