The counterfeit claim is bullshit. If they cared about counterfeits, they'd raid Amazon first.

Raid the convicted criminals in the gop

Seriously. Amazon Basics is basically just Jeff Bezos's copyright infringement arm of Amazon.

Can we skip to the end part of orange-mussolini's canon story? Since we've already seen this story before.

Oh gosh I’m so glad they erupted in PROTEST…. Show them you won’t do anything!

https://6abc.com/post/immigration-agents-conducting-sweep-nycs-famed-canal-street-confronted-protesters/18055773/ This article says that it was started by people on their way home from work.
The thing to keep in mind is that while these random people did nothing (blocked a vehicle and called more people to join them) the incident became about them. ICE had to leave at the time. And, meanwhile, anyone undocumented could get out of there.
And now these agents have to harass a bunch of citizens instead of immigrants.

So not protesters at all. Just residents who are sick of these thugs.
Also from the article:
A true concern for anyone right now: counterfeit phone cases. Won't someone think of the poor domestic bedazzled phone case manufacturers?

Oh, so how many ICE agents have you shot this month? Obviously more than zero with big talkin like that.

I like when people encourage melting ice. Thanks. Keep it up. 👍

Cool, now go actually do something about it your damn self or shut up and stop harassing people who are trying to do the right thing.

What's the alternative? The average commuter isn't going to kidnap a large group of heavily armed federal agents.

They did do something. It's not what you'd do if you were walking home and saw ICE grabbing your neighbors, but that's fine. Everyone's got different abilities.

Protest is the first step towards doing stuff. Obviously I'd love to see more...radical...stuff, but protesting in front of ICE is better than nothing on such short notice.

They stopped the raid and made it a protest. They couldn't kidnap any more immigrants on that street. I think they did do something.

I meeeaaannn, the country is on notice

Gotta be pretty far up your own ass to feel good about that stance.
