The consulate for El Salvador looks like this in Woodbridge, just a random store front. I think this set up is pretty common. |
TWO coat of arms. One over the door and another one on the low roof over the door. |

Just when we thought we’ve seen the stupidest ice goon there’s another.
What’s next? |

They originally went in to Minneapolis supposedly to address 1) Somali fraud and 2) catch migrants with criminal records. But it sure looks like they're casting a wide net and trying to grab any foreign-looking people they can get. Loitering in neighborhoods, around churches and schools, Target stores, Mexican restaurants, hospitals, the Ecuadorean consulate, going door-to-door in certain neighborhoods, and stopping random people who are walking or driving while black/brown.
NONE of that sounds targeted in terms of addressing Somali fraud and arresting specific migrants known to have criminal records. |
Exactly. Also, shouldn't federal law enforcement know these things. Consulates can't just pop up wherever they want, like a Supermercado. There's actually a diplomatic process. |

Ice had a factor in both shootings. Pretti is probably still alive if agents don't fall to the ground.
Good's tires slipped on the ice in the road. Without this, the agent who shot her would have been either dead or in ICU. |
Anyone concerned about fraud would send in auditors, not thugs. |
They likely could have shot those agents dead and had diplomatic immunity. |
Oh, I'm not excusing ICE in any way. I'm saying that they thought it was just another of those "foreigner business places" they could invade with impunity. I'm sure they do not have any understanding of what an embassy is, or have any understanding of, or respect for, laws about embassies. They were surely just going door to door harassing anyone who spoke Spanish. |
Yes, that's what I meant. Has the suspicion been confirmed, that they are operating under some kind of bonus system? I haven't seen anything online that says that is true, but I swear they are acting as if they are getting paid a certain amount for each person they detain. |

Also, ICE is using LRADs (long range acoustic devices) -- which is illegal in the US -- on protestors. https://imgur.com/gallery/appears-that-ice-is-currently-attacking-peaceful-protesters-minneapolis-by-deploying-lrad-long-range-acoustic-device-weapons-close-range-2naUKg0 A few posters in comments are talking about how to mitigate them or reflect the signal back. They need to reverse thick plastic shields to orient the concave surfaces back at ICE agents. This video was linked, which does some research and demonstrations: |
