AMBULANCE NEEDED
AMBULANCE NEEDED BECAUSE OF ICE GESTAPO THUGS

NO Badge

WITHOUT THAT, THEY'RE KIDNAPPERS

A woman who witnessed this said they manhandled her, lifted her shirt showing her breast when they tried to carry her limp body.

But why are they allowed to cover their faces while being servants to the public? If I can’t ask you about your identity while you’re being paid with our tax dollars to police the public, it smells like fascism.

[Irish_Dem]

1. ICE agents are cowards.

One day it is going to go sideways for them and they can only blame themselves.

[B.See]

51. One can only hope. Because imo

the WRONG people are being locked up. Starting at the top.

[Justice matters.]

64. They may be "pardoned" J6 insurrectionists.

they love to bully
they love violence
they can't find any other job for the rest of their life.

[Irish_Dem]

72. Yes I think they are pardoned criminals.

Or some sort of criminals.

Who else would the Trump Crime Syndicate hire?

[LiberalArkie]

73. Sorry it won't go sideways. They are LEO. If you blow a kiss to a LEO they can haul you in for assault by breathing

on them. Remember how they were during the AIDS thing during Reagan.

[Irish_Dem]

74. As my mother used to say, these guys are cruising for a bruising.

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. I'm going to put the term "ICE Agent" in quotes from now on.

Or easier still, I'll just replace it with "Gestapo".

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. ICEtapo. . . . . nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. Better still!

[Brother Buzz]

12. I've been running with ICEholes

But ICEtapo works well.

[barbtries]

58. i refer to it as

the terrorist organization known as ICE

[crud]

9. I live in Sacramento

and there are tomale sellers and taco stands all over the city. Most of them are busy all the time. I haven't heard about fascist activity around here, but if they show up, it isn't gonna go to well. I'm thinking the street vendors in LA are probably staying off the street. What a shame and loss to our culture. I'm a white guy and I love my multi-cultural city.

[BattleRow]

24. I would think taco stands would be targeted instead of tamales...

[Bayard]

32. I see what you did there....

[crud]

39. LA street taco scene

[PatSeg]

37. I lived in Sacramento for nine years

It was the most diverse place I've ever lived and probably the most comfortable community that I can recall. Quite a few people that I worked with were immigrants, many of them students. I find myself wondering if they're okay right now.

[obamanut2012]

67. It's still like that here

Wonderful city.

[PatSeg]

69. Yes, it is

My main problem was the air quality and I ended up sick in the hospital many times due to respiratory failure. All the new construction at the time only made it worse. It's a shame, as it was a lovely place to live and I loved the weather.

[obamanut2012]

66. The woman outside the Broadway Target

Sells the best tamales around Sac imo.

[UpInArms]

6. What awful excuses for human beings

Do they cover their faces so that their wives, mothers, fathers, children won’t see them for who they are?

Monsters

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

7. ISIS: "ICE is" terrorism. Just call 'em ISIS. That'll piss off the ICE religionists

and TACO man.

[BattleRow]

26. ICE IS ......

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. Maybe ICE had bad information: maybe they thought she was selling tacos, ...

And we can't have that!

[BidenRocks]

10. The last two Democratic Presidents

Deported many people without the dangerous terrorism.
Not many complained. Maybe because they were real crooks and they got their Habeus Corpus.

[Ping Tung]

11. Will the heroes receive their medals at the White Asylum?

[soldierant]

41. Are we allowed to mention asylum in connection with immigrants?

[KT2000]

13. Good thing they have

high powered rifles at the ready. A 60 year old woman selling tamales is known to be one of the most dangerous people in America. Don't they have any shame?

[Layzeebeaver]

14. the force display is not to take the woman away...

It's to assure any people in the surrounding area are too shocked and afraid to get involved in pushing back against tyranny.

[DBoon]

35. I think you meant "intimidate" not "assure"

[soldierant]

42. I think "assure" is correct, althoug

adding "that" right after it would have clarified is. (My weird mind added the "that" for me.)

[Layzeebeaver]

55. "Assure that"

But you are correct as well.

[Irish_Dem]

44. Yes it is a stunt designed to terrorize the populace.

[ffr]

15. Must have been a high value target to dedicate that much manpower at what cost (???)

Probably a ring leader or drug smuggler with ties to organized crime.

How many hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are we spending on this nonsense? Ridiculous!

[DFW]

16. This reminds me if the movie "Shooter"

This seems like the bad guys aren’t government agents at all, but thugs working for private contractors hired by ICE. “Arm’s Length” they call it, so that when the body count starts, not one actual government employee will have been guilty of anything, or even traceable to the perps. The only guilty parties will be the ones who defend themselves against these hired gangsters unless they get confronted by groups in numbers far superior to their own, and armed with weapons they are equally adept at both using and not using unless absolutely necessary for self defense.

Take down a few groups of these thugs, unmask them, charge them with assault and kidnapping, with film evidence to back it up. They will have no written orders on them, no warrants, no solid proof that they are anything other than criminals working for a criminal organization. They carry no government ID, not to protect their identities, but, to my way of thinking, because they have no goverbment ID. They collect their pay quietly (cash?), and vanish back into obscurity. Eventually, someone will crack, testify, and then let the round of prosecutions start: Watergate II.

I’m just dreaming, I know, but I was there to see Nixon’s thugs jailed. It’s not completely without precedent. We had to be paient, but it DID happen.

[patphil]

17. 20 agents in full battle gear, several vehicles, probably 2-3 hours of their time, plus an ambulance.

All to grab one harmless old woman off the street.
I'll bet that operation cost at least $10,000.
Multiply this bullshit by maybe 50-100 operations a day, and the amount of money spent to support this operation goes into the mega millions really quick.
And that's just the street level stuff. All the support for this anti-american, fascist operation will easily bring the whole thing up to way over $1 billion a month.

https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/report-costs-mass-deportation-immigration/

One thing to remember, the "big beautiful bill" allows for thousands more ICE agents, and huge expansion of all their equipment and facilities, including bigger detention centers.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/25/trump-contractors-ice-detentions-deportations/83250623007/

One wonders what they plan to do with this gestapo-like secret police force after they're done deporting people.

[Skittles]

52. waste, fraud and abuse

it's all sick entertainment for the cult

[ananda]

18. We have two mutually exclusive views of life and of animal forms.

The ICE people, and all Republicans really, do not see all people
as human beings, but rather the non-whites they see as dangerous
animals that need to be eliminated from the country... one.

And their view of life is one of social darwinism and rugged
individualism on the part of white people led only by white men,
not one of shared cooperation, inclusiveness, and thought...
two.

Thus, if we expect them to think and believe as we do, we will
always make the mistake of judging them by OUR lights, not
theirs.

They think they are doing God's work, trying to set up the
world for those who are truly worthy... white people led only
by white men.

There is no way to fight this on their terms. We have to think
together and organize en masse to show them that we are the
vast majority of people in this country and that we will only
live and believe on our terms, no theirs.

[BattleRow]

31. Precisely what God do they serve? Or

profess to?
Jeff Sharlett has done exceptional work on Christian Dominionists,starting with his book,,"The Family",later turned into a mini series.
This group is instrumental in National Prayer Day celebrations.
Is it kismet that dominion and dominate are so similar?

[swong19104]

19. Smells of fascism?

No, it’s outright fascism. And a weak-ass fraidy cat bunch of fascists, too. These weak-ass fascists are no different than Thomas Blanton, Herman Cash, et al who bombed the 16th St Baptist Church killing four little girls. Or those who killed Emmett Till. They’re always hiding behind their hoods and robes. Today, it’s a balaclava worn over the nose.

[BadgerMom]

20. "...it is fascism."

FIFY

[SleeplessinSoCal]

21. This is the fire he stoked.

Whether we survive his reign of terror is up to us.

[moniss]

22. The parameds seemed to be more urgent in their movements once they got her to the back of the unit.

I hope not but it may have been that they saw her condition worsen or they realized the seriousness. Notice how they beat on the guy in the van to get him out.

[Hekate]

23. Rick Wilson is wondering too (link below) One poster suggests -- Blackwater

Which makes a hideous kind of sense.

[orangecrush]

48. Prince's goons.

[Dave Id]

25. 20 armed ICE agents arresting a 60 year old woman selling tamales.

Hope this dangerous women didn't harm any of the agents. /s

[LymphocyteLover]

27. ARE WE GREAT YET????

JFC these fascist fucks!

[SidneyR]

28. Isn't it obvious?

The USA as we knew it is gone. It is now a fascist country. There is no going back. I wonder if the Founders would even recognize the country they created.

[TacosUberAlles]

57. They certainly wouldn't

and I'm perfectly fine with that given how much bad they supported like slavery & women not being able to vote.

[SidneyR]

75. True enough n/t

[wcmagumba]

29. I'm praying (in a non religious way) for someone to dox these cowardly bastards and get their families to disown them...

[SheltieLover]

30. Yup. Kidnappers, imo.

[Cherokee100]

33. I think

I think, the term should be LICE, not Ice.

[Norrrm]

34. Shouldn't Kristi Noem be leading the charge with her big gun? Add Boebert and MTG.

[tanyev]

36. Surely DOGE will have a lot to say about that.

[MissouriDem47]

38. Remember

A guy named Jesse and his brother Frank did their most productive work with their faces covered.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

40. DEFUND ICE n/t

[KentuckyWoman]

43. Unpopular take

My unpopular take is if the local ICE agents are going to be tasked with TV reality show crap like this, and agree to do it, at minimum take enough agents to handle the crowd. Be sure agents are clearly tagged as law enforcement. They need body cameras ...

I don't mind the face covering. Better they find a more honorable way to make a living, but the internet is crazy. No reason their family, friends and neighbors should be at risk.

Flame away, but what I saw in that video was asinine, but not 100% bad.

[travelingthrulife]

62. Why don't you mind the face covering? Would you like to be arrested in that manner?

They would never use body cameras.

[KentuckyWoman]

65. Personally,

Personally, if I'm out there on the sidewalk not bothering a soul and 6 big guys in kevlar rush me, all I'm thinking about is live through it and please bring my purse with me. Next comes let me call my family and I need a lawyer - and probably I need my medicine.

You might be right in the age of social media. Maybe putting their faces on social media so the kids and wife and parents get threatened will be effective to stopping this, but I have not seen that to be true thus far in life.

Edited for brevity and sticking to the point....

[4catsmom]

45. was this woman even illegal?

not that it matters anymore. You just have to look like their stereotype of an 'illegal'

[Cirsium]

46. Absolutely not

No human being is "illegal." Ever.

[Nululu]

47. Can states require identification

Clearly show and badges displayed for public police actions

[nwduke]

49. Pardoned

J6 thugs!🤬

[nwduke]

50. Pardoned

J6 thugs🤬

[yellow dahlia]

53. Mayhem in the streets.

No organizational action.

Anyone can pretend to be an arrestor nowadays.

Dystopian Wild Wild West.

[SunSeeker]

54. And ICE arrested a guy filming it!

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/southern-california-man-reportedly-arrested-dragged-out-of-car-for-filming-immigration-raid/

[William769]

56. They only used 20?

They must have been short handed.

[Magoo48]

59. I'll. be waiting for the joint press conference held by her US rep. State rep. and local authorities

Condemning this attack by armed, masked criminals. This is one of those instances that should be forced into the light, no matter how much effort it takes.

[cstanleytech]

60. Maybe they were scared of tamales? You know how deadly the spicy ones can be.

[Wingus Dingus]

61. Whew! Another troublemaker off the streets!

Thanks, ICE!!

[travelingthrulife]

63. It's no wonder they are a billion dollars over budget and asking for 2 billion more.

Lots of hispanic venders out there.

[BobTheSubgenius]

68. Tamales???

She was selling TAMALES??? What did she think was going to happen? It might as well have been borscht.

Jesus wept. The times we are living in.

[gfarber]

70. ICE agents

A thug in a shirt full of stains
Sought fashion for lawless campaigns.
“Uniform? Nah —
They’ll just guess you’re the law
Too late, once they’re tossed in your vans.”

No badge, just a mask and a sneer,
He whispers, “The law? I’m unclear.”
No warrant to show,
No name you might know,
Just silence, and then you disappear.

They dress like a dad on the lam,
Then snatch you as cool as a clam.
No patch, no ID—
Just impunity,
And a van with no windows. Wham.

[C Moon]

71. There was this horrid take down of a skinny 20 year old citizen working at Walmart.

Hi mother couldn't locate him. The latest I heard was that he's at a detention center. But why?

This Tiktok video is the best one (profanity warning):
https://www.tiktok.com/@latimes/video/7517688786558520607

But here's a YouTube from CBS news:

?si=w4O021JKZ616JMRN

[surfered]

76. Just think what they would have done if it had been tacos?

[surfered]

77. Just think what they would have done if it had been tacos?

[Zackzzzz]

79. Is it at all possible to find out if this woman is alive.

I watched the video and she was unconscious for too long.
It looked like her head was on the sidewalk.
All these big.....CAMO HE-MEN...with dangerous toys
just blocking people from filming their dirty work.
In light of new info,
do they get their bounty pay if she goes to the hospital, instead?
She has just disappeared.
