17 vehicles including at least 9 goddamn MRAPs to grab one guy posting publicly available information.

It's a show of force. Don't fuck with us (I'm not part of the 'us' in that lol).

"Certainly Sent a message."
Yep. Seems like they know what they are doing is wrong and take being identified as a threat. Seems like we should all have that information then.

No no no! We have to protect the freedom of law(ish) enforcement so we can have the freedom to freely free ourselves from the oppression of people who put paper signs on telephone poles.

sounds like we should post those fliers everywhere then

That's a really good point. If it's such a terrible crime, let the public see it and decide for themselves.

Make sure your fliers state, "Thoughtful gifts for our brave ICE agents are appreciated!"

That's some 5D, non-euclidean chess right there. Start a charity that only pays out to ICE veterans who make less than the standard retirement amount, so it only covers those who are unable or unwilling to do the job. Restrict the posters to photos and names only so it's clear that the charity isn't soliciting hostile action against ICE agents but still gives potential victims enough information to evade most assaults. The "Blue Lives Matter" mob probably wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Even if they do, the resultant infighting will still distract from their potential targets.
"For just a dollar a day, you can save this ICE agent, John Smith, and his family from a life of poverty if he ever leaves. He gave everything. Please just give something."

I bet there's a soft-copy of this flier circulating on the Internet now, because this distributor likely knew what was going to be the end result.

I would love to see that. I've only seen a photo of one in the Fox News article.

The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.

which was legitimately the purpose of the attacks themselves. everything basically went exactly according to al qaeda's plan.

66,000 arrests?
Hardly.
Probably closer to 7,000. Still awful, but it's cute that they're inflating the numbers so much.

You think ICE would do that? They'd just lie about their intent and achievements?

If you think you may be arrested by the Gestapo, but booby traps around your house and a rifle next to the door as well as cameras all over your property.

The Fox article does have an image of one of the posters, if that's what you're asking. Sorry if it seems like I'm being obtuse.

Because the current administration is acting with impunity, meaning they don't feel the need to explain themselves while they hold themselves above the law.

Kinda flippant way to say they will get put in a US concentration camp.
I know nazism is the norm in the US now, but for most of the world, it's still considered ghoulish.

The flippant comment is my way to use cynicism to express how utterly appalled I am by what's going on in the US.

If you haven't seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it's only on Fox, and I won't utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn't just drop out of the blue. It's been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the "both sides" perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

Sort of like the article with the headline "us preparing for unilateral military action against cartels in Mexico"
I'm sorry, did you mean: "US is planning to invade Mexico."

Here is a video link from corpo social media, maybe that's one better, it was good enough for Migrant Insider:
