I'm not from the US, so I'm mega confused... Why are they allowed to take this person after the case was dismissed?

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago

They aren't.

Holy shit. Goon squads. They don't even identify themselves??

Imagine a hypothetical scenario where a group of random citizens gang up on an ICE agent during their Sunday stroll and handcuff them, and throw them off a bridge somewhere, handcuffs still on.

How would a sheriff know that they aren't ICE agents themselves? Or are we going by skin colour?

They don't ID themselves and show a warrant? Fight back. Fuck it. Nothing to lose now. Never go with feds quietly.

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal "by mistake", I think that's right on the money

People should try that, for science. In Minecraft.

First we created the technology to spread misinformation and hyper tailored propaganda to uneducated people and now that same technology to watch how that propaganda is rotting society to the core.

I can’t even imagine how massive the reset will have to be after this, but every day I can see a bit clearer how things like Atlantis may have happened.

Hello, this is POTUS, gimme a large Distraction with extra Outrage. Last week's bill didn't go down well, so let's fuck with some brown people in LA and NY.

Fuckedupistanis must be loving these proud fuckedupistani fascists right now to just stand around and watch all of this happen.
