The woman, dressed in a spotted dress and wearing a leather jacket, can be seen standing in front of the ICE vehicle and later pushing one agent.

    She is an absolute hero. This is the kind of courage we need to amplify and idolize as a nation.

      There are no hiring standards for ice. They will hire anyone with a pulse.

      Well, when you goon all night and stand around all day with a smug look on your face that says “kill all ice employees” I guess it makes you fat.

      They’ve spent their lives answering the Call of Duty. Now ICE is paying them to get out of their parent’s basement.

    I clicked the x(cancel) links. I read the 10 top comments on each. Fucking hell, glad I left this cesspool when it changed hands. I took 9999 Psy Damage, and will need the week to recover.

      I’m not reading this because I know it will upset me and I will fantasize about fighting those people instead of drifting peacefully to sleep. I have to remind myself they’re probably just bots

            As I implied in my first comment, I do not have an account there anymore. I went through xcancel. And regretted it and won’t do it anymore.

    The Department of Homeland Security said nine people were detained during the raid, which officials described as “a targeted, intelligence-driven” operation “focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.”

    And Eric Garner was accused of selling single cigarettes. No judge nor jury found Eric Garner guilty. But the cops said he was killed for selling cigarettes illegally. Same cops that had killed him.

      Couldn’t be. Whatever name they find for the polka dot woman, she was at my house at the time of the alleged crime. She couldn’t have done it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
