Local police have little or no insight into where the federal enforcement actions are taking place. In some cases, local cops have been mistaken for federal agents, eroding years of work to have immigrant communities trust the police.

    I heard of a group of ICE agents kidnapping another group of ICE agents and the onlookers didn’t know which was real. Spiderman meme immediately came to mind

    I’m surprised that there hasn’t been any violent response to those individuals. I’m not advocating for violence, but if I were to encounter unidentified vehicles with unknown people attempting to abduct others in broad daylight, which clearly resembles kidnapping, I could foresee a potential escalation in the situation. Did that happen anywhere?

      I’m betting that this administration is trying to get it to happen so they can use it as their Reichstag fire

        It’s why they sent the troops into LA. They want escalations to justify further removing our rights.

          I suspect this is also the reasoning behind bombing Iran. Do they get extra powers during a war?

    LAPd has been corrupt for decades, what do they have to fear. And also a lot of them are gang members too

    DON’T ACTUALLY DO THIS! It’s not legal. I was thinking that someone needs to kidnap some of them and make them reveal exactly who they are, and publish their faces. I read someplace that people were guessing that they were bounty hunters because, allegedly, ICE is paying them $1500 a person to turn people in. Not sure if that is true.
