Trump’s brown shirts terrorizing Americans.
Trump’s brown shirts terrorizing minors in their underwear.
I’m disgusted but I’m not surprised.
I’m such a nerd I read this as Brown Coats and thought “why would they be terrorizing anyone?”
How’s everyone feeling about America having Nazi Gestapo and concentration camps?
Too bad Americans are stupid enough to have to see for themselves before they judge.
I feel used to it. We had concentration camps during the FDR admin, and we’ve had gestapo since shortly after 9/11. Trump didn’t turn the US into shit, all he did was smear it on our faces.
non of these raids happened under Biden, stop lying to yourself. Trump is 100% exponentially escalating the surveilance state
Biden didn’t do anything to roll it back, either, AFAIK. The democrats built their 2024 campaign on “Trump is a dangerous fascist” (and he is) right up until they shitcanned it when that kid took a shot at him. Well, they said he was a dangerous fascist, but they sure didn’t act like it, and they left all the tools he would need handily lying around for him.
Now imagine all the other families that have been traumatized by ICE. Are people going to stand up and support one another?
Sure. I’m asking my friends to lawyer up. Not sure what else one can do against police unless you are just going for the old k-d ratio
Ah, they robbed them too while they were at it. If they take your shit and give no information on how to get it back, how is it not stolen?
I guess anyone moving to a new address should assume the gestapo can show up whenever they please looking for former residents.
Like how is this even possible. The whole “home invasion” style of enforcement is itself dystopian and wrong, but once you’re all done you should have some clear paperwork and accountability to hand out. That they don’t have it indicates the people involved don’t believe in due process or public accountability.
Were these people even real agents? How could she even verify that? No one should need to “look into” the matter. There should be a case number, organization, and point of contact on an official form for her. They aren’t the people and that should be easy to verify with a day, give them their stuff back.
Were these people even real agents? How could she even verify that?
Hard to say. Two of the three agencies that identified themselves to her (FBI and US Marshals) later denied having agents there.
Either they’re lying or shit is real disorganized. Or both. It’s probably both.
Lesson: Before you move into a new rental, find out who was there before and how long it’s been empty. I can see this situation happening a lot as more targeted people move to avoid being found, and unknowing people move into the vacated rental unit.
Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”
“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”
As for Marissa’s phones, electronics, and cash, they have no idea which agency has those belongings or how to get those items back.
They’re totally fucked. Each agency that was there denies responsibility and refers them to the next, which does the same.
No, fuck that. You can’t reasonably expect to spend 300 hours a year doing research in all manner of different matters to make sure they accidentally don’t end up getting rocked by the cops. How about the cops do some fucking research before they yeet a flashbang in with a baby and deny responsibility?
This whole situation is a “should never happen” that, in a just world, would at least cost someone their job.
