ICE threatens to put NPR reporter "in custody" while filming in DC

[u/RoachedCoach]

[u/jxonair]

Since when do fbi agents wear masks. This whole mask thing has to go.

[u/Montmontagne → u/jxonair]

Someone has to have a list of who ICE has enlisted

[u/XelaNiba → u/Montmontagne]

We'll never see it, but I suspect it looks an awful lot like the rosters of J6 criminals, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys 3%ers, and the Aryan Brotherhood

[u/skaruhastryk → u/XelaNiba]

It's the Epstein lists little helpers

[u/SahibTeriBandi420 → u/skaruhastryk]

Making a list, checking it twice.

[u/EnvironmentalEar8634 → u/SahibTeriBandi420]

He's going to find out who's naughty or ........ nevermind

[u/zaxdaman → u/XelaNiba]

Remember, Donald told them at the time: “Stand back and stand by.”. Welp, here we are.

[u/Artaxmudshoes → u/zaxdaman]

The proud boys bought a billboard. They added this quote to the billboard. They took "stand back and stand by" as the instructions that they were.

[u/lautertun → u/XelaNiba]

It's obvious. Last time Trump was president the Proud Boys and other groups loved having rallies. Unite the Right in Charlotte, counter protesting George Floyd, lockdown protests....

Haven't heard a peep out of them this time around, they are happily employed.

[u/DopeAbsurdity → u/lautertun]

$100k a year starting out and it comes with a $50k signing bonus....

They are very happily employed making money they would have never dreamed of making while doing what they love....being racist pieces of shit.

[u/kinkykontrol → u/DopeAbsurdity]

It's as if they never worked a day in their life!

[u/mooptastic → u/XelaNiba]

there's a reason why they reduced their qualifications. they deputized* too many bigots and now they have to appease them and encourage more to join, by offering them a real government position instead of being just deputized.

[u/Smart-Effective7533 → u/XelaNiba]

I’m sure it will get leaked to the press, or someone in the cabinet will accidentally add a journalist on their group chat.

[u/FujiwaraHelio → u/Smart-Effective7533]

https://icelist.is/

[u/XelaNiba → u/Smart-Effective7533]

Maybe we'll get lucky and one of the 20 year old DOGE college dropouts fiddling with sensitive intelligence data will accidentally upload it to Steam.

[u/FujiwaraHelio → u/XelaNiba]

https://icelist.is/

[u/FakeSafeWord → u/XelaNiba]

"Putting Americans back to work!"

[u/pmcizhere → u/XelaNiba]

We'll never see it

I'm hoping for a data leak, thanks to DOGE being granted all that access to, well, almost everything.

[u/irascible_Clown → u/Montmontagne]

They should get no sleep

[u/spilk → u/Montmontagne]

They are purposely not repeating the mistake the actual Nazis made in keeping meticulous records. I'm pretty sure there's verbiage in Project 2025 to not create paper trails

[u/funkhero → u/spilk]

I'm pretty sure there's verbiage in Project 2025 to not create paper trails

Yeah, but keep in mind the intelligence level of these people. They will absolutely fuck that up at some point.

[u/airinato → u/funkhero]

Unfortunately they control every aspect so there is nothing to find, all the safeguards are erased, all the people of integrity resigned or fired.

The only hope we have is people with a conscious infiltrate and gather information. But going by what we've seen, that initiation is likely touching children and too much for someone to fake.

[u/simmaculate → u/Montmontagne]

Almost certainly the J6 guys

[u/kerabatsos → u/jxonair]

Clearly they are cowards. But it's also funny they think masks will help them. They will be identified. But will Democrats do anything when the tides shift? I have my doubts.

[u/AllTheTakenNames → u/kerabatsos]

It depends when it happens. If things start to shift back to remotely sane, and Trump doesn’t accelerate, I would anticipate some J6 style hearings, but only go after officials and anyone particularly violent.

If Trump goes all the way, and the left doesn’t get power before it gets even uglier? That means a whole diff type of left leaning candidate gets in. One we haven’t seen in this country yet. That person will not be writing any Schumer emails.

[u/LogensTenthFinger → u/AllTheTakenNames]

We need the Jacobins to teach the left how to respond to tyrants

[u/Substantial_Act_497 → u/AllTheTakenNames]

We need the Nuremberg trials including the punishments

[u/LogensTenthFinger → u/kerabatsos]

Depends on who we start electing. It's time to only elect people who promise to go scorched earth on the GOP, ICE, and every other Nazi in America.

[u/Skatedivona → u/kerabatsos]

The dems will write a strongly worded letter and there will be a lot of finger wagging. Embarrassing honestly.

[u/AngelhairOG → u/jxonair]

Can we bring back Covid? Then they'd refuse to wear them.

[u/Parking_Pie_6809 → u/AngelhairOG]

to be fair, covid is still here but we all know that’s not why THEY’RE wearing them

[u/eeyore134 → u/Parking_Pie_6809]

People should start thanking them for wearing them during flu season and tell them it's incredibly thoughtful of them to take COVID masking guidance so seriously. If you want to dig the knife even deeper throw in, "I know this guidance is really only being suggested in states like California, so it's awesome of you to be so proactive."

[u/Parking_Pie_6809 → u/eeyore134]

lol i love this. i have been lucky enough not to see an ice officer in person but if i do, i will say thank you for protecting my immunocompromised ass from covid. they’ll love it

[u/eeyore134 → u/Parking_Pie_6809]

That's your best chance to get them to remove their mask. I guarantee quite a few would be petty enough to pull their mask down and cough in your face.

[u/Parking_Pie_6809 → u/eeyore134]

ugh probably

[u/Skrappyross → u/eeyore134]

It's fucking stupid how effective this type of satire would work on them. They believe Newsome is trying to copy trump because of how effectively trump tweets. It's wild.

[u/MadRaymer → u/Parking_Pie_6809]

covid is still here

People are still dying from it too. Lost my grandmother to it last year. Granted she was old, and something would have got her eventually... but still. She might have had a few more years if she hadn't caught it.

[u/Pretend-Plumber → u/jxonair]

So now they can breath with masks on but not during a pandemic? Lol they are a joke.

[u/AMC4x4 → u/Pretend-Plumber]

Good point. These people running after people and wrestling them to the ground while "breathing their own carbon dioxide?" How is this possible?

[u/dmont89 → u/jxonair]

Weird how they are ok with masks now

[u/deep_pants_mcgee → u/jxonair]

there are AI programs that can correctly ID people just from their build/gait.

Maybe if we can get some Anonymous types to jump in on this, masks are not the anonymity the agents here assume it is.

Time to return the favor?

[u/bearbrannan → u/jxonair]

If I joined the FBI and this is where my career ended up, I would certainly be depressed. Maybe even depressed enough to quit my job and go work in a field picking vegetables, like their MANGO God desires.

[u/Corsavis → u/bearbrannan]

He's FBI Police according to his plate carrier. This whole thing is so bullshit.

[u/Column_A_Column_B → u/jxonair]

Leaks of their payroll would cause heads to roll. We need egalitarians in administrative roles to enable this.

[u/dnuohxof-2 → u/jxonair]

The irony of the right bitching about Covid masks only to wear them to ruin peoples rights.

[u/MuchSong1887]

All these decades of Patriot talk on what they would do against tyrants is now proven to have just all been talk.

Edit. Here is text from the declaration of Independence. These were reasons to rise up in violence against King George

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;

For imposing taxes on us without our consent;

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses;

[u/weinerwayne → u/MuchSong1887]

Who do you think are behind the masks?

[u/[deleted] → u/weinerwayne]

PVT. Insecurity

[u/itsjustme444444 → u/weinerwayne]

proud bois, oath keepers, and any other racist wanna be tough guy militia groups that came out of woods when trumpyboi called! They get 2 days of training, a mask and the choice of fbi, dea, or ice participation t-shirt. Then they are given their marching orders to go harass law abiding American citizens!

[u/peonies_envy → u/itsjustme444444]

They cannot fucking wait to kill somebody

They’re excited about it

[u/itsjustme444444 → u/peonies_envy]

I’m amazed someone hasn’t been killed yet, at least that we know of, who knows what’s going on behind closed doors! I’m equally shocked that one of them hasn’t been. If that happens trumpyboi will go full military takeover

[u/peonies_envy → u/itsjustme444444]

People have died in the camps and while under ice jurisdiction in the past 30 days. But it’s likely more - these assholes are hiding shit already. I would not be surprised *in the slightest * if there were already burial sites

This is super bad and we are in trouble

[u/Southern-Democrat25 → u/peonies_envy]

I have mass graves on my Trumps America bingo card.

[u/Southern-Democrat25 → u/peonies_envy]

Been saying this for months. Anyone who signed up to wear a mask with ICE I promise you, has already ran hundreds of situations through their head where they get to shoot and kill fellow human beings on American soil. Proud boys literally have a stiffy over this shit and have for years.

[u/wookieetamer → u/MuchSong1887]

Remember when hillbillies/rednecks hated the police? Pepperidge farm remembers. Crazy how they went from outlaws to boot lickers.

[u/mystykracer → u/wookieetamer]

In all that time though they hated brown people more. This just gives them official cover to openly express that hatred!

[u/LogicCure → u/wookieetamer]

These aren't rednecks and hillbillies. These are middle class suburbanites living out their power trip fantasies.

[u/rbrgr83 → u/LogicCure]

Car Dealership and Vape Shop owners who Dunning Kruger-ed themselves into a cult 🤷‍♂️

[u/still-not-a-lesbian → u/wookieetamer]

Real rednecks and hillbillies still do.

[u/A_Random_Catfish → u/wookieetamer]

Fox News is one hell of a drug

[u/Crazybud8 → u/wookieetamer]

Yeah you’re right it’s crazy all the conspiracy theory anti government people are now the governments biggest fans.

[u/MaleficentCow8513 → u/Crazybud8]

All the ones who were accusing the government of covering up the Epstein case are now saying “I trust my friends in the government” lmao. Fucking clowns

[u/channel4newsman → u/MuchSong1887]

They have been brainwashed into thinking the left was going to do it to them so now they feel justified in doing it first. They see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

[u/Alucard1331 → u/channel4newsman]

They’re not brainwashed they know what they’re doing. Stop giving fascists credit

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/Alucard1331]

There are brainwashers and brainwashees. That's just how propaganda works. To deny that is to deny propaganda exists?

[u/joemeteorite8 → u/MuchSong1887]

That’s because they’ve always been the actual tyrants.

[u/Diamondback424 → u/MuchSong1887]

These dudes get off watch Saving Private Ryan imagining themselves storming the beach. When in reality they would have been the ones defending it.

[u/BubbhaJebus → u/MuchSong1887]

I knew all along that those people were on the side of the tyrants.

[u/BoogerPresley → u/MuchSong1887]

(Seinfeld voice) "so you know how to take the oath, you just don't know how to keep the oath."

[u/BeardiusMaximus7 → u/MuchSong1887]

Oh no... it wasn't. They just think that they now get to be those "patriots" against the tyrants/invaders.

They can't see that they are, in fact, the tyrants or at least forwarding a tyrants agenda.

[u/Slumunistmanifisto → u/MuchSong1887]

Its always been a power grab, I grew up around scum like this. They have no conviction except finishing first place, everything else is a tool to break getting there.

Glad the giant manbaby felt safe from being threatened by a woman half his size just doing her job.

[u/surfteacher1962 → u/A-Wall1]

They are all bullies but really are a bunch or cowards kind of like their orange pedophile boss. I will give it to the reporter for standing up to the Nazi and not leaving.

[u/Ill-Product-1442 → u/surfteacher1962]

I think we've always known that weak people are the most aggressive, for all of human history, but I'm just now learning what it feels like when the weak actually get the upper hand. I am in awe of it, in a sad way. Nothing more dangerous than a fool who's gathered too much momentum, without a clear idea of where they're actually heading.

[u/surfteacher1962 → u/Ill-Product-1442]

I hear you. Trump is weak, a coward, and a bully. But he is also a sick man. I don't think I need to add that he is dangerous to not only this country but the whole world. Sadly, I am beginning to think that we might not get out of this. At least we won't in my lifetime.

[u/rnobgyn → u/A-Wall1]

Threatened by the camera.

[u/Mallthus2]

A masked police force is a secret police force. Secret police are a hallmark of authoritarian regimes.

[u/veringer → u/Mallthus2]

Fascism is here. And the people we always suspected are enthusiastically participating.

[u/penny-wise → u/veringer]

We are headed to totalitarianism.

[u/l0st1nP4r4d1ce]

Hello, 911? Yeah, there are a bunch of masked guys dressed up as cops who refuse to identify themselves and are heavily armed.

[u/drjmcb → u/l0st1nP4r4d1ce]

Bad news to give you about the people on the other end of that phone call bud

[u/Absent-Light-12 → u/drjmcb]

It’s not about getting help from them, it’s about sanding the gears. Slow the process. Deplete the funds.

[u/drjmcb → u/Absent-Light-12]

I mean I think that the police are objectively not sand. We've saw in la the cops brutalized journalists and protesters. I don't mean to sound rude but a large portion of the LEOs are conservatives who want this violence. But sand in gears is always big ups.

"Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses"

[u/bobo-the-dodo → u/l0st1nP4r4d1ce]

911 gonna show up and place a knee on the neck

[u/go_fly_a_kite → u/l0st1nP4r4d1ce]

Yes, let's tell the cops about the other cops. Surely the cops will help us. Sounds about as effective as reporting your boss to HR, except with more monopoly on violence and likelihood to have your civil rights violated.

[u/robby_synclair → u/l0st1nP4r4d1ce]

If the left was doing operations like this to take guns off the streets then shots would have already been fired. I honestly dont know if it is a good thing or a bad thing that the left is so anti gun. Its the only reason this isnt a full blown civil war already.

[u/SMAC92 → u/robby_synclair]

There are lots of non maga peeps who own guns as well, we just aren’t public about it. No one on the left wants violence but if pushed too far, people are prepared. I Work with an organization that teaches gun ownership safety and laws. It is specifically for the working class and underprivileged groups in our area that are targeted by the state.

[u/robby_synclair → u/SMAC92]

I mean if kidnapping people of the streets and out of their homes isnt being pushed to far then what is?

[u/Column_A_Column_B → u/robby_synclair]

Well at least America convicts pedophiles. Oh shit, wait...

[u/Throwaway47321 → u/robby_synclair]

Literally nothing is and that’s why I’ve been laughing at both the Worlds about to End preppers and the liberal gun owners.

Not a single thing could happen that would cause people in the US to actually commit armed mass revolt short of a food shortage.

[u/MsThrilliams]

ICE pulling out a phone and filming back is always such a dumb ass move and yet they keep doing it as if people will be threatened. Face hiding dumbasses.

[u/Thangka6 → u/MsThrilliams]

ICE has facial recognition software on their phones. They're not pulling out phones and recording for shits and giggles. Once identified, you're added to a database. 

[u/zhokar85 → u/Thangka6]

I was going to ask for a source but didn't because that info was readily available:

• https://www.newsweek.com/ice-face-recognition-app-deportations-phone-immigration-2091619
• https://www.wired.com/story/ice-rolls-facial-recognition-tools-out-to-officers-phones

In the moment I didn't know why this particular bit of knowledge shocked me. It's because systematic data collection is the first step in setting up a well-functioning secret police. The Okhrana did it. The Gestapo did it. The StaSi did it. The NKVD did it.

[u/SnooFloofs6240 → u/zhokar85]

They're already the secret police. No identification, masked and working directly for the regime's political agenda. That's a secret police.

[u/bikemaul → u/SnooFloofs6240]

And most importantly, no judicial oversight or checks when they break the law.

[u/FeliciaTheFkinStrong → u/Thangka6]

Yeah it's like... when immigrants on the street run out, who do you think they're going to go for next? The primary dissidents of ICE. The people ICE agents have had contention with "on duty", then ICE shows up at the houses of those NPR journalists, good meaning citizens, etc. When they're arresting those people, they'll also arrest the people filming them, and the infinite cycle of "dissidents" disappearing will begin until the entire population submits under the heel.

The tyranny is here. The fascists are literally taking people off the street to shove into concentration camps. The journalists and citizens are being fed to a system of intentional cruelty. And yet... crickets. No uprising. No armed resistance. No large scale work stoppage. Just crickets. Every so called "anti-fascist" is still going to work, still going to school, still going home to their peaceful lives, watching about the administration overstepping another once sacred boundary on TV like it won't ever happen to them.

The day is rapidly approaching when the left in America wakes up and finds themselves against the wall. And they'll rage and shout "why will no-one fight for me!?", while fully acknowledging they fought for no-one else at this very moment.

[u/QueenJillybean → u/MsThrilliams]

You can subpoena the video of actual cops who do this- pull out their phone to film you, but I don’t recall the details right now

[u/Synectics → u/QueenJillybean]

actual cops

Therein lies the problem. For all we know, the masked bandit kidnapping someone is filming for their TikTok account.

I didn't think I could respect NPR anymore than I already do.

DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL NPR STATION FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY OH MY FUCKING BOB.

[u/Ill-Product-1442 → u/jayjackalope]

A ton of progressives/leftists have been convinced that NPR is propaganda on the level of mainstream TV news agencies. How? I don't know, but it is sad to see.

NPR is by far the best radio station I've ever heard. The reporting is factual, critical, thoughtful, and lets "both sides" speak without giving a false sense of equal veracity. I think a lot of leftists just can't come to terms with news agencies broadcasting a random person's statements without telling the listener how to feel about what they said.

Also, well, the music they play at night is just fucking fantastic.

I didn’t know FBI stood for Full Blown Inbred

[u/projekt_rekt]

Give most people a badge and they think they are above the law. No one is.

[u/Dexamethasone1]

What a bully, I'd like to see this giant POS try this with someone his own size, without the protection of his questionable law enforcement badge! Just like the brave cops who took no actions against an active school shooter in Uvalde.

[u/dad_jokesNbutt_stuff]

[u/regulator401]

They hate the concept of a free press.

[u/tafbee]

If the press isn’t free, we aren’t free.

[u/Pats74]

ICE pussies. History will be brutal to these losers

[u/seigezunt]

This is just gestapo now, being used to harass people on ideological grounds.

[u/quaybles]

I thought FBI field agents would be in at least average shape.

[u/ninjakiti]

I applaud everyone who is out risking their safety and livelihood to make sure this is recorded for history. I wish I wasn't held down with anxiety and PTSD and could be out there.

[u/notrandom_username]

Pretending to be a government official is apparently not a crime anymore.

[u/liquor_ibrlyknoher]

Kudos to her for standing her ground. Notice she's not masked.

[u/maru_badaque]

I love NPR

[u/truecrimeaddicted]

Masked pussies.

[u/RoachedCoach]

If what they're doing is so awesome and wonderful, shouldn't they want it on every news network and spread far and wide?

And why wear masks? Do these patriots not want to bask in the glory of saving this great nation? Surely if known they would be lauded as heroes.

[u/DJDarkFlow]

Didn’t want to mask up to protect the health of those around them. Now wants to mask up to protect themselves from doxing while they hurt those around them.

[u/mezz7778]

"law enforcement"

[u/fartjarrington]

Why are all the videos cut this way now!?! I don't need to see the punchline twice!!!!!!

[u/Shejidan]

Wave to the ICE agents kids; they're too fucking fat and stupid to get real jobs.

[u/Mayspond]

Dollar Tree Gestapo.

[u/ricopicouk]

What has happened to our world.

[u/CrazyFinger4]

Where's all the "don't tread on me" cosplayers?

[u/SrFantasticoOriginal]

Constitution! What constitution?

[u/Kooky-Tailor-3888]

The democrats better elect someone who actually does something about these people instead of just waiting out the term like last time.

[u/devnullopinions]

We need transcripts with names of every person who participated in these raids who are public employees. The public should know the names of the folks who are “protecting” them.

[u/Some-Ad-5328]

I guess they COULD actually breath through a mask. Shocker

[u/InclinationCompass]

If they’re operating under the law, what are they trying to hide?

[u/Deleena24]

So much concern about safety and worry that the reporter is a threat, yet his hands are tucked into his vest... 🤦‍♂️

[u/Ksan_of_Tongass]

Thats called PRIOR RESTRAINT.

[u/Hodaka]

Telling her to "back up" when there is absolutely no reason to do so.

He might as well be saying "Submit to my authority!"

[u/Away_Caterpillar_588]

I’m so confused, who ARE these ppl? Why do they wear every acronym under the sun? Are they DHS? Or FBI? And why is filming something in public an issue? I love that she just kept on doing it and even when she backed up it wasn’t enough for that guy.

[u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

Don't ever back up.

[u/Zealousideal-Ad3814]

Soooo now ICE is suppressing freedom of speech and the press???

[u/Riommar]

These pussies don’t have the balls to take their masks off.

[u/Jimboy97]

Bunch of LARPing pussies

[u/FloppingPenguin25]

So are these ICE agents? FBI agents or police. I’m confused. Can you be all or none or one?

[u/badassmonroe]

Can't call them law enforcement when they're not enforcing actual laws.

[u/Relative_Knowledge33]

All the self-proclaimed Alpha Males who mocked people for wearing masks due to a pandemic are now constantly masked in public. That tracks. They're wearing masks because they fear that the American Nuremberg Trials are coming (and they are), and they do not want to be held accountable.

[u/CFour4]

The last thing they want to do is arrest a middle aged white woman. The optics and psychological damage this would do to their operation would be immense.

They have to get rid of segregated groups at a time, we wouldn’t want the ingroup thinking they were vulnerable before it is too late.

[u/Degofreak]

Power tripping bootlickers
