A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.
The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.
Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”
Alleged ICE agents. They haven’t identified themselves, can we really say they’re federal agents?
It’ll keep happening until we all show up with baseball bats.
We should bring back tarring and feathering.
Watching this shit happen in America from afar really is a mind fuck. I continue to fail to understand how Trump can still have any support is beyond me. The facism is just so god damn blatant at this point
Racism. The answer is racism. His white supremacist supporters love watching masked secret police beat the shit out of brown people. Then they’ll blame the next closest person when the food stops being produced and the farm food all rots on the vine
Remember in 2019 when Hong Kong protestors called the US for help?
Yeah… about that… 👀
(I saw the image and I immediately thought of Hong Kong)
The day someone actually kills ICE-Nazis is the day i will send financial support to muricans.
This is eventually going to result in a new Black Panther or Guardian Angel group like the 60s/70s.
Will be interesting to see these masked pieces of shit face some actual competition brandishing fucking rifles.
Maybe the citizens with guns need to show up when kidnappings are going down… Might change the new ICE employees minds.
Ironically, the guy who ran the Guardian Angels is now the Republican candidate for NYC Mayor…
The guardian angels are just different pieces of shit
Maybe they’ll use the rifles?
Yup, then martial law and suspended elections. It’s almost like their plans are publicly available.
We’ll hold our own elections, with blackjack and hookers
Las Panteras Negras
How about Las Masqueras Negras. El Bloc Negro.
Surely the don’t tread on me people are fuming and about to patrol the streets to keep their communities safe, right?
ICE isn’t going to their communities
Don’t Tread on me people are perfectly fine with other people getting tread on.
"“Better to be judged by 12 than to be kidnapped and dragged to a death camp by as few as 2!”
I’ve only heard the “don’t tread on me” weirdos sing the cell block tango. “they had it coming, they only had themselves to blame.”
Fifth Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Fourteenth Amendment:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
They continue to violate the Constitution in so many ways. The Constitution recognizes “person” as any human on US soil.
- unless you’re brown or darker.
You made the classic mistake of forgetting the footnote, silly! See, now it all makes sense!
Federal government:
Did the new season drop yet !?
Not yet, October 29th. I’m looking forward to it! The songs were surprisingly good.
The songs are pretty good! Most of the Helluva Boss songs are decent, but after having heard them dozens of times each… some of them just start sounding like shit tbh. There were only 1 or 2 Hazbin songs I actively found a bit annoying.
No. December, probably.
October 29th, last I heard.
If they don’t identify themselves, they are kidnappers and
SECOND AMENDMENT.
I see the 5th and 14th above… as a non American, can someone post the Second Amendment and then I’ll be able to post all three amendments to thousands of posts. And feel smug about it.
Seriously, these need to be constantly posted in every single thread where it’s required
2nd amendment is the right to bear arms.
Sure, but that only counts if you have due process, and if people are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.
But if you don’t get your day in court, you can’t do anything about this.
Problem is there will be plenty of USAians still saying “this is what I voted for”.
Right up until their door gets kicked in.
Only worth that the people defend
Oh so we’re using lethal force (tasers) on suspected illegal immigrants now?
I have no idea how not a single ICE agent has been killed yet?
Apparently the good guy with a gun is a myth.Because they are well armed. Attacking them would be a suicide mission and people are not suicidal.
and people are not suicidal.
Citation needed
It’s possible they have, and those incidents get suppressed for fear of encouraging imitators - similar to Luigi Mangione.
News sites want you scared, but not angry.
Because they don’t try this shit with people who look like they can hit back, most of those have real arrest warrants on them so they can leave that for local and state cops to deal with and just focus on ambushing students and day laborers and people with small children
Same comment:
I have no idea how not a single ICE agent has been killed yet?
Apparently the good guy with a gun is a myth.I am low key shocked that some group of vigilantes hasn’t straight up ambushed a pack of ICEheads yet.
Benjamin Song, an alleged ringleader, is a former Marine Corps reservist who trained left-wing activists for close-quarters combat and large-scale gunfights, associates said.
Damn… I hope there are more people like this, and that there’s a good reason why we never hear about them.
Link to get around paywall.
That didn’t work for me. Still cuts off after one paragraph.
Here’s an article I found from a local affiliate: https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-ice-detention-center-attack-alvarado
Apparently the good guy with a gun is a myth.
It always has been.
Sadly, I don’t think that will happen on any scale as long at the main targets are brown.
And undocumented, which makes it not feasible to own a gun if they wanted to.
That’s a poor strategy and most people understand that on some level. Either because of the civil rights movement and understanding the value of the moral high ground or because people understand they want violence to declare martial law. That just isn’t the play.
Also Luigi isn’t a myth.
I won’t comment on whether political violence is the right thing to do, but if you think the civil rights movement was peaceful you’ve been taught some disgustingly whitewashed history. Ever heard of the Black Panthers? They got in firefights with the police all the time, even though many would later pretend that MLK was the only and unanimous voice for all of America’s oppressed.
Also the whole Civil Rights movement can be traced to the Civil War, instigated in part by people like John Brown whose whole thing was massacring slavers in the name of God.
This rewriting of history of America as a nation of peaceful citizens who got their Rights by Asking Nicely fucking pisses me off.
MLK was the only and unanimous voice for all of America’s oppressed.
And MLK himself is extremely whitewashed. His focus on economic justice and anti-imperialism are typically left out of the stories told about him in media. As well as the fact that he was broadly unpopular with Americans in his time.
Also the fact that he credited the Black Panthers with allowing him to be able to do what he was doing by protecting the protesters from retribution, and saying that the only reason that they weren’t doing anything more was because what they were doing already was illegal and anything more would risk actual jail time.
There’s also the armed nonviolent wing that gets left out, like the Deacons and the various unaffiliated armed people who literally did have to be ready to kill in order to defend some of the nonviolent protestors - one SNCC person in an interview mentioned they and a few friends were staying at an old black woman’s home after a march in Alabama, and she had half of the local black community entrenched, quite literally, with their guns in her front yard all night, because the police had shown up with what amounted to a lynch mob for the protestors.
I also think a lot of people confuse moral nonviolence with strategic nonviolence or pacifism. You can be nonviolent and still be absolutely armed, trained, and ready to do violence if needed.
There’s a fantastic book, This Nonviolent Stuff Will Get You Killed, that really hits the lost portions of the civil rights movement, including the armed wing of the movement.
The reason for gun control was Regan was afraid of the balck panthers owning guns.
Full stop
Thank you boondocks for showing me Malcolm X. Yeah I know but this game is a bit different. Gotta be smarter this go around, money, it’s all money. Your color never really mattered it was just convenient.
If it’s all money… How do you propose the fascists will go away? Good words and peaceful protests don’t mean shit when the oligarchs own the quasi-totality of the media landscape.
As a totally unrelated thought, Luigi’s alleged cheap 3D printer did more for access to healthcare in the US than every government from the past decade-and-a-half and that’s a straight fact.
Pay half the fascist to deal with the other half! Lucky for us all they’re selfish whores to their very core.
I tell you what the real myth is. Thinking they need violence to declare martial law. They clearly don’t. So that’s an argument people need to stop making.
Real martial law. And they need footage for the news they just are not getting right now. Not to say the current state of things is sustainable.
Anyone have a link to the video? Trying to save all of these since they tend to disappear
That only has screenshots and a link to Instagram which wants me to sign in 😢
alot of them are also just dressing up as ice, not employed by them too.
Well Harris wasn’t progressive enough for me so this is okay so we can show the democrats we’re sick of them.
Yeah but she supports genocide or something.
If 4 years of bullshit leads to a stronger opposition party that can learn from this and make sure it never happens again, great. That’s admittedly a big bet against heavy odds but one can hope.
People forget this is the second time trump has been president. The Democrats had 4 years to prepare to prevent what we’re currently living with. And they came up with a plan, they chose a doddering senile old man as their candidate then when it became obvious that he was a doddering senile old man they replaced him midstream with his deeply flawed and uncharismatic VP. And she lost, wow, I’m shocked.
So you’re not worried about the people who will die because Trump is in power?
There’s very little I can do about it now. If i.could go back and change it I would. I can’t, so I’m hoping the DNC learns from this. I’m not holding my breath. I’m 90% convinced they’re controlled opposition and have been actively working towards this.
So you’re not, I got it.
I don’t get why they try and weasel around it. Just own it, tankies.
We aren’t the ones who could have simple not funded ICE.
And so, you’re fine with what’s happening under Trump. Yes, we get it.
Just own that, and stop weasling.

The fuck is the point of 2a if not to resist this?
For many Americans, I think the reason for their support of 2A is so they can help the fascists against the rest of us. Most 2A supporters that I’ve met are not what I’d call good people. For the rest of us, it’s hard to find someone willing to die in the hail of bullets that will certainly follow the first shot of the resistance.
I have to concur. I used to work at a place where some portion of employees were NRA style gun owners. Couldn’t help noticing that the people always going on about guns were psychopaths that least should’ve been allowed near anything dangerous.
They are also simply not in their neighborhoods.
That’s why https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/huntington-park-border-patrol-agents-door-explosion/3734095/ we lost our government to fascists. They control our military
That’s what the 2a is for. Resistance.
please view the linked article and video of what happened at the house in the article.
I read the article. Shooting agents such as those in the article is what the second amendment is for
lmao watch the video. rip to you
I saw the video. Do you think that you have a point, or are you just making dipshit comments for fun?
You did not see the video, anyone with half a brain would know the outcome if anyone tried to 2a in that situation. Living is better than swiss cheese
I always thought the whole point of 2a was to shoot POC… But I’m not an American so maybe the nuance is lost on me
I am an American “person of color” (gods, what stupid phrase… fuck this newspeak) who owns firearms (at home; I live abroad currently).
Here’s the exact verbiage of the 2nd Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Interpret that as thou wilt; we’ve been arguing about it since about 1791.
For what it’s worth, I’d amend the amendment to include this snippet from Marx, just to confuse us all even more:
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
I don’t disagree about anything you said, just a quick note because it’s a term that’s worth understanding:
“Newspeak” is a concept based on the dumbing down of language in order to make communication more difficult and complex concepts almost impossible. It’s not just new words or phrases. If it’s not damaging our ability to think and communicate, it’s not Newspeak. For this reason, “politically correct” alternatives (like “POC”), as well as increasingly specific terms (like “omnisexual” or “demi girl”) don’t qualify as Newspeak because they either continue the existing ability to think and communicate or enhance it by being more exacting about the concepts involved.
I’m not trying to be pedantic, it’s just important to me that people understand what Newspeak really is because the fascists really are trying to implement it as a means of reducing resistance against them. My favorite example is “climate change” which was a term introduced by right wing think tanks to undermine the more accurate (and more alarming) term “global warming.” And it worked.
Anyway, again I don’t disagree with your points, so please carry on!
Reminder: nazis are worthless pieces of trash. Who could possibly still pull out of this mess with major life changes and yadda yadda.
Nazi COPS are not saveable. They are monsters.
Dehumanizing one’s enemies is what Nazis do.
Cops are taking people to concentration camps which will certainly become death camps or slavery in time
I agree that they’re bad people. I do not agree that they aren’t people.
Yep. Which is why they need to be dehumanized. There is a difference when it’s targeting one specific group because of their murderous hatred. They need to be stopped.
You can stop them without using their rhetoric.
History has shown us that there is only one way to stop them. I guess people like you need to learn the hard way again, rather than learn from history.
How exactly is saying “they’re not human” on the internet going to stop them?
Read a history book, then maybe you’ll understand what I was referring to.
We need not tolerate the intolerant. Else we have a paradox.
So don’t tolerate them. Don’t act like them either.
Those seeking to destroy humanity are not worthy of our humanity.
Are you saying that to defeat Nazis we must become Nazis?
What do you think a Nazi actually is? Because it isn’t “stop fascists from killing other people.”
Why do you keep equating these two things? It’s weird.
Why are you using Nazi tactics when you supposedly want to stop Nazis?
What “Nazi tactics” am I using, specifically? I would love to know.
Dehumanization
If that’s how your spongy brain wants to see it, sure. By that logic, all of the WWII veterans are actually Nazis.
WW2 veterans didn’t dehumanize people, wtf are you talking about?
They just shot them and turned them into hamburger
They treated them as enemies, not non-humans. Its an important distinction. Its the reason they were the good guys and you’re not.
again with this? tolerating the intolerant is not possible. in addition, I did not dehumanize them. they do it to themselves.
why do you support nazis?
It’s not about tolerating the intolerant, it’s about not using their same thought process lest you fall prey to the same kinds of propaganda. Besides, removing their humanity absolves them of their sin. This isn’t like a house cat killing birds on instinct, these people choose to do this. And they should be treated accordingly.
Broke: Nazis aren’t human
Woke: The worst monsters to be born on this planet are all human, and they all seem to really like swastikas
it’s about not using their same thought process
It’s not even close to the same thought process though. You have to know that, right?
removing their humanity absolves them of their sin.
Also, I take issue with the entire concept of “sin,” so that argument holds no water for me. I mean, what a meaningless “argument”. How does it absolve them of anything??
fair and cogent reply. i’ll take it. :)
“They are no longer human” doesn’t count as dehumanizing? Is english not your first language?
