Wow....crazy unhinged MAGA style ICE Nazi's. What a bunch of tools, hiding their faces behind masks in 90-degree weather.... Good job, citizens, for protesting and standing up to this maggots.

I was at Red Wagon at 5-6 pm before things escalated (and before 7 pm crowd showed up at Red Wagon). Confusion in messaging about Emergency Protest. I was told protesters at Cataldo/Washington ICE detention center were trying to prevent transport of 2 minors. Rumor or truth?

Not minors but everything else is true. One was late 20s and the other just turned 21 today - he was the young person under the guardianship of Stuckart. Until today - being 21 makes you too old.

I'm not a cop, but I don't think this is how they're trained to deal with even a small, peaceful crowd. If they'd been violent, that crowd could have easily mopped the floor with those two before anyone could come to help.

Show your faces Anti-mask maga Nazis! We’re a country of immigrants and we need them to help put food in our super markets, build our houses, schools, businesses, stadiums, etc… Why don’t you get off your lazy arses and do that instead of arrest humble, hard-working people? Shame, Shame, Shame…🇺🇸💪🏽💪🏼

Maybe then it should be made easier to immigrate and not harder. (We are making the same mistake over here in Germany. We are highly depending on immigration and trying very hard to make it as unpleasant as possible. Just to please racists instead of educating people.)

I find it hard to believe that those are federal officials rather than a couple of racists looking for a fight. But if they *are* federal officials then God help you, America - they are brownshirts.

The truth is kind of the reverse...it's less that the regime has been swelling the ranks of ICE with far-right militants since January, and more that federal immigration enforcement has overlapped with far groups for a very long time. ICE was always evil. They didn't need to deputize anyone.

1. What the “police” are doing is straight-up assault. 2. It is INSANE how quickly police departments normalized hiding their faces. 3. Between the masks and the weekend warrior outfits, it is inevitable that those already inclined to abuse their power will feel freer to do so.

They are not police. They do not look or dress like police. They do not act like police. They appear to not have any real training of what to do to in order to control the situation. They put on a costume, were told to push people around, and expect others in the crowd to back up. No and nope.

Those "uniforms" said ATF. What the hell is ATF doing here? This guys may actually have been ATF agents. They had badges. Note for future demonstrations: Zoom in on the badges and get a badge number. You can dox them with a badge number. If they hide their badge number are they real cops?

You can tell that the guy with his entire head wrapped in black pantyhose was just dying to beat someone up. I guess that’s what having to pay for sex their whole lives does to these incel creeps.

That man who waddled up and started aggressively grabbing, shoving and throwing people has some pent up rage inside that he has been waiting to take out on people. This is why these masked men are scary, they think the mask hides the racism and rage.

Oh, absolutely. I'm sure mommy or daddy didn't love him enough and now he's in a loveless marriage with 2-4 kids that he never wanted and most likely despise him because he's a miserable SOB who's only joy in life is hoping there will be a moment in time when he can release his rage on strangers.

If the Geneva Conventions require soldiers to wear uniforms if they want to be protected as POWs, how in the hemorrhaging fuck are these non-uniformed, masked, anonymous ICE-holes able to walk safely down the street kidnapping people?

Spokane and the surrounding region has a long history of being a hub of white nationalist militia activity. It’s also a red voting area hardly known for its liberal values. It is heartening to see so many people out there doing what’s right. Also how many of these cosplayers are WN militia thugs?

Judging by appearances and their "uniforms" it is clear that ICE has "deputized" J6ers and other white supremacist militia groups. Basically they are brownshirts.

Federal agents should not, without a warrant, even touch a citizen unless a federal violation is committed in their presence, they believe a federal offense has been committed or in a state that has authorised them to arrest people for felony violations (punishable by over a year in prison).

I’m going to call (509) 456-2233 to report this grievous violation of municipal codes. It’s Mayor Lisa Brown’s top priority, after all. bsky.app/profile/spok...

That sounds like waterboarding only upright. I like it. Except you would probably be arrested for assaulting an officer. But could you imagine the reaction if they were met with a crowd of 20 people, each with a super soaker?

STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE. TIP FROM LA. DONT TOUCH THEM BECAUSE YOU'LL BE ACCUSED OF BEING VIOLENT.THAT IS WHAT ICE WANTS, TO LABEL US AS VIOLENT SO TRUMP CAN CALL IT INSURRECTION AND CALL MILITARY IN.STAND YOUR GROUND.THANK YOU

There are hundreds of ways to rationalize and excuse being the muscle for fascism. I had someone try to tell me their great uncle wasn't a Nazi, he was just a normal soldier in Germany during WWII. So many loopholes.
