ICE whines that protesters in Minnesota wont even let agents take bathroom breaks in peace
Department of Homeland Security appeals for sympathy by claiming its officers are harassed by agitators wherever they go, even when trying to use gas station restrooms
Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks, the DHS wrote on X Wednesday.
At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions.
At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents, the statement continued. At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them.

(10,933 posts)... not as bad as if you are knocked to the ground in your Brown skin, dragged out of your home in your Asian underwear, or shot in your Lesbian head. I should apologize, I know, but really... get a spotter for your bathroom break and remember: You Have a Gun.

(10,933 posts)... I just can't believe they feel bad or unsafe in their bathroom breaks... I just had another thought: Wear a diaper.

(15,366 posts)1. Democrats in Congress need to stop ICE funding.
2. Article 25.
3 Grind on the Epstein files.
And last...ICE leaves our cities and is disbanded.

(4,473 posts)If ICE or the military (if they'll even cooperate) tries to contain other parts of the country with their gestapo BS, things will get really ugly. US citizens don't willingly put up with being told what to do, where to go or not to go, or allow themselves to be abused without response.

(215 posts)There once were some agents from ICE
Who demanded a bathroom in peace.
But protesters said, Nah,
You can piss offha ha,
And blocked every exit like geese.
In Minnesota, DHS cried,
Were harassed every time weve tried
To take one quick leak
By a pump or a Meek
Why wont mobs let our bladders subside?
They posted on X with a moan:
Agitators wont leave us alone!
They yell and they stalk,
Wont let squad cars unlock
Even Chevrons a danger zone.
An agent lunged forward, all tough,
To detain someone spitting their stuff.
But the crowd said Oh please,
And dogpiled with ease
Turns out cosplay cops arent that buff.
So DHS begs us to feel
For the trauma of restroom ordeal:
Sure, we cage human lives,
But draw one goddamn line
Let us shit behind Speedy Mart steel.
The lesson, if one must be learned:
You reap what youve brutally earned.
When you terrorize towns,
Dont act shocked when it rounds
Back on younow hold it, concerned.

(94 posts)We're getting awful close to a Kent State moment. Not just 1 person getting killed but ICE unleashing on a whole crowd. We're getting close to a Flashpoint where violence breaks out everywhere.

Unemployable.
Unredeemable.
Stained.
Shamed.
FOREVER!
There is no burning or burying those uniforms.
There is no redemption available for their actions.
What they are doing (ALL OF THEM) is morally abhorrent and wrong.
ANYONE who cashes an ICE check, serves one second in an ICE unit or says this is all OK is DAMNED FOR ETERNITY.
I will NEVER allow them to rejoin society quietly, the nanosecond that I KNOW someone is ICE-stained, they are going on full blast in front of the world. If their children are there, I will explain to them that their parent or grandparent is a piece of shit that actively sought to harm people for money and did so with the worst human beings of the 21st century.
Its GAME OVER ICE...GAME OVER!

You have a chance if you're a snowball. But ICE, not so much.
I wish I could help more.

(19,352 posts)OH yeah, don't dish it out if you can't take it.
They are assholes, they are violent assholes who are trying to harm people.
Sounds like they're getting off pretty fucking easy.

(4,786 posts)With prison highway cleanup details. Put a porta potty on a trailer and pull it behind the Nazi rigs. Sure the J6 goons will be freezing their asses off in the Minnesota cold, but they won't be turned away again.
Mister Ed
(6,847 posts)Yes. I'm very skeptical indeed that unarmed people successfully tackled and surrounded armed ICE agents.

(17,208 posts)It didn't happen in large numbers then, and it isn't happening in large numbers now, but it is powerful propaganda for Reich-wingers.
It has been said that if all the people to have claimed to have seen Micky Mantle's homerun that cleared the confines of Yankee stadium were in attendance that day, the stadium would have held 20,000,000 in the stands.
