I hear what you are saying but it doesn't sound like a rock and a hard place. it sounds like a rock and really comfortable place. many, many people I know have lost your jobs. I'll save my sympathy for them and the people being detained and sent to concentration camps.

Calm down Francis.

We're rounding up illegals not running gas chambers. Your hyperbole is making it harder to take any of your other complaint seriously.

The mass firing of federal employees is probably illegal but it's not Nazi Germany.

love the old timey put downs!

I was comparing the situation of newly fired for no reason federal employees to that of ICE agents who allegedly "HATE what they are being pressured to do." Meaning, no, following orders is not a good enough reason to do something you "HATE" and find morally objectionable.

As for comparing detention camps to concentration camps, do your research. what do you call it when people are being held without criminal charges, without access to lawyers, for a long time in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions with overflowing toilets, swarms of mosquitos, insufficient food, and a lack of access to clean water. Before Trump, the United States had standards.

Complete fail. Nobody is going around doxing random police for no reason and it's a bullshit narrative lacking evidence to try and suggest this is happening. Doxing of police is rare and when it does happen it's been in direct response to police acting in abusive and potentially illegal ways.

Plus wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves sets police up for a real and justifiable risk of being shot by.citizens. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2-men-claiming-police-shot-killed-homeowner-authorities-say

Stop defending a bad practice by police, on proven bogus grounds for defending it.

I guess we just need to wait until one of them or a member of their family is murdered. Right?

They are bringing this on themselves. It’s a shame for good agents, but it’s a self own by the administration.

“What did she expect? Her skirt was way too short.”

So, comparing the idea that women deserve to be raped with the idea that people racially profiling and kidnapping people, often people here legally, without accountability might have to suffer repercussions?

Meh, this is par for the course for maga. I mean, you all shouldn’t be allowed around women and children, but not unexpected.

Not much of a peep now that we have actual tyranny.

I’d wear a mask, too, so that my family didn’t find out I worked for ICE.

This is border patrol which is not the same thing as ICE. Also law enforcement is a job where you can potentially get hurt. When people don’t understand that you end up with cops like the ones in uvalde.

Because a corrupt president and his head gestapo goons Tom homan and Kristin noem know that what they are doing is unconstitutional and because they know that the of corrupt six conservative Supreme Court justices will back them up.

Assuming there will be a 2028 presidential election then the Democrat president with the Dem House and Senate will initiate Nuremberg-,type trials and try these criminals.

All this liberal transgender person saw was “jackbooted thugs” detaining brown people, and Democrats told him/her to RESIST!!! Nice work.

I’m loving how democrats pushed to normalize wearing masks and now they are big mad that people are wearing masks.

Six years and you still don’t understand medical masks? That’s a truly impressive level of ignorance.

Apparently neither do protestors in 2025. They're also wearing medical masks to conceal their identities.

While you're at it, please feel free to explain why Antifa wears masks, and pro-Palestinian protestors wear their kefiyas wrapped around their faces. Hint: It's not for medical reasons, but rather to avoid being identified.

Hey, if they are being paid by the government, then sure, they should identify themselves. Or are you saying these ICE agents are rounding people up in their private time, off the clock?

[Anonymous]

They are not doing their job. If they were doing what Trump promised - pulling undocumented rapists and drug dealers off every street corner in the country - we would all be cheering them on. But that’s not what they are doing. They are pulling people from their jobs, kid’s events, and legal proceedings where they are literally going through the legal process. We sure haven’t heard of many scary criminals being snatched up. So are they still out there on every street corner while parents are being pulled from their kid’s events? Or did Trump lie to you?

Obama focused on criminals first. Then people who came here recently. That’s how it should be done. But that doesn’t make for good TV ratings, apparently. Biden and Harris focused on long-term solutions but this country certainly doesn’t have the attention span for that. So Trump just threw a bunch of masked-up thugs on the streets to round up all the brown people to make him look tough.

Don’t believe the lies of the left.

See it for yourself.

"I've been down there myself and personally went there twice to tour (Alligator Alcatraz) it. What these officials need to realize is that this isn't a resort in Florida. People aren't coming there for a long-term stay — they are just there to be removed from the country quickly. I.C.E. prides itself on our detention standards, and I will stick with that in our partnership with the State of Florida." -Todd Lyons-Acting Director @ICEgov

DP. No, YOU are willfully uniformed. While our regular prison population is in prisons/jails that have mandated government oversight, ICE's civil detention lacks prison's constitutional safeguards, leading to worse conditions and less accountability, especially in private facilities (81% of ICE beds are in for-profit private facilities). There's a ton of stuff online about poor conditions in ICE facilities but I'm guessing you don't GAF about "illegals" and the conditions of their detention. It's inhumane and a stain on our national reputation.
