28. Just who ARE ICE agents, though

Sun Jul 13, 2025, 12:42 PM

Jul 2025

Thugs running around with guns but no ID, no warrants, and no presentable authorization for their actions do NOT sound like ICE agents to me. They sound like private outside contractors whose work orders were given orally so that if there any excesses, and I mean like some of them killing innocents, with potential blowback with similar consequences, official denials can be issued.

“We regret the deaths caused by excessive violence on the part of individuals who were NOT agents of the federal government, and thus had no mandate to use deadly force, blah, blah.” No idea who they were, no blame, no guilt assigned, and above all, no accountability.

Trump finally gets to shoot someone dead in broad daylight in Fifth Avenue, and now gets to claim he never even saw who pulled the trigger.
