And by immigrants, they actually mean anyone that isn't white.

Or submissive to/supportive of the fascist government.

Even the Irish aren't white enough for ICE

Jews too. Having white skin doesn't mean you're white.
zabadoh@ani.social · 1 pts · 282d
I haven't seen any stories about Jews or Israelis being detained by ICE. Do you have any?

Not exactly what I'm talking about.

and only targeted blue cities to. no red districts.

I look forward to being hunted down in a city that is majority Hispanic. 😎🇲🇽

But they can't fund SNAP or air traffic controllers. Righty-o
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 282d
A reminder that SNAP was already funded by Congress, and specifically. Because of previous shutdowns. The Trump administration refused to actually distribute the funds and tried to justify it with the shutdown.
Fredselfish@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 282d
Even after shutdown is over still not fully funded. Guess never get those funds back.

Leave our friends & neighbors alone you weakling cowards!

They ain't getting bounty hunters. Someone on the inside is getting a football of cash courtesy of the humble tax payer. They are lootting the government.

Anyone want to be my partner and we can try to arrest ice agents?

ICE guys are going to start dressing up like Captain Falcon aren't they
Observer@infosec.pub · 4 pts · 282d
No no, of course not.
They'll be dressing as his evil clone, Blood Falcon.
Dude already has the skull on his helmet.

My fucking god how ludicrous. How the hell are they struggling to find undocumented people?!
Wife had a booth at the outdoor flea market while I wandered around. ICE could seal the exits and round up 200 Hispanics, on a rainy Sunday afternoon, easy. I'd bet on most of that particular crowd not having green cards. Hell, they could nail my wife, not like she carries her fucking card around everywhere.
For context, this was in Pensacola, FL, not exactly a gargantuan metro area. Also, not too many Hispanics around here. (Wasn't any until workers came to bail us out of Hurricane Ivan.)
ICE has demonstrated that nothing is out of bounds and they have near absolute power. So why not just waltz in and scour a simple flea market?
Oh! Because we're in a red state and we're all fucking armed. Funny how they're only targeting blue states with the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Strange that.
Same goes for Texas. Went for a funeral 15-years ago near Austin. I was astonished at the number of Hispanic folks and beautiful women with solid black hair. "All y'all got Mexican blood?!" And I'm saying that as a white guy who had just moved from Chicagoland! (Kinda like the mirror version of all the Swedish and German blondes in Kansas. And the hot redheads in Arkansas, for whatever reason.)
Want Hispanics? Why not raid Texas? Oh, maybe it's all the armed white rednecks married to brown women. Problematic that.
More serious answer: This is plain corruption. Somebody's getting a piece of the pie. No reason to involve bounty hunters.

What they didn't tell you was that 90% of Boba Fett's routine work was identifying people with brown skin and blue noses for the empire

This is where (some of) the money goes that is actively being prevented from going towards anything even remotely social. It's so cynical.

These guys want to convince you they're the good guys protecting us

Hmmm... let's find the best ways to both make money from this program and yet somehow the targeted individuals manage not to get detained.
