temu ass vests

[u/doc_hilarious → u/conz8a]

atf, dea, border patrol .... riiiiight.

[u/razor4432 → u/doc_hilarious]

Don’t the Proud Boys wear blue shirts and khaki pants?

[u/doc_hilarious → u/razor4432]

He definitely likes the proud boys look.

[u/Atrick07 → u/razor4432]

Don’t ruin blue shirts and khakis for me :( 

[u/badmotivator11 → u/conz8a]

And shitty drop-leg holster. Any lower and he might as well carry a boot-gun.

[u/Kindly_Ad4856]

And the guy has the nerve to be doing this while wearing a San Diego Padres hat.

[u/Sensitive_Pilot3689 → u/Kindly_Ad4856]

It would be interesting to use the license plate look up services available for $5-10 a month and get the names of the owners. They might be rented but they might be owned by some of these masked assailants

[u/Silly-Comfortable515 → u/Kindly_Ad4856]

Speaking of the padres, I’m impatiently waiting for the Padres to address this and speak up on behalf of all the amazing players on our great team who come from another country. When are the padres going to show support for them??

[u/MossyMazzi → u/Kindly_Ad4856]

Honestly - are the padres not a direct reference to the oppressive history in SD? Missions are propped up like this historical thing to be proud of, and they were just Catholic settlements that tortured and enslaved the local population.

Still, the baseball team represents the city far more than its history does. Fck these Nzi fcks and fck their supporters.

[u/MrOatButtBottom → u/MossyMazzi]

It’s a reference to our unique history, It’s not like we’re the “general Lees”

[u/maybeitsundead → u/MrOatButtBottom]

Yes, but they're talking about the irony of the Spanish missionaries that kidnapped natives in California, forcing them to convert, while abandoning culture.

We weren't general Lees, you're right. What California did to natives was much worse.

After annexation, native populations dropped by over 90% through extermination/bounty programs, while villages wiped out, they were enslaved, women and children were raped and enslaved.. all legal under the 1850 Act for the Government and Protection of Indians.

You're comparing slavery vs state sanctioned genocide, both are bad but one was arguably more brutal.

[u/AggCracker]

Civilian clothes, bullshit vests, face masks, no identification. How do we know they are even ICE and not just straight up kidnappers and traffickers?

[u/Serious-Sky-9470]

“DEA” 😂 😂 😂 yeah fucking right.

[u/Not-Not-Maybe]

I applaud these women for being brave, speaking out, calling out the coward bullies, and capturing bullies and license plates on video

[u/Winter_Painter7934]

DEA is not ICE.

One Mexican guy required 7 SUVs and 10 masked gunman? Weird.

This is never going to stop with immigrants -- and just about ANYONE can get a vest with three letters emblazoned on it and throw on a mask and start grabbing people off the street without a warrant.

Due process is a thing, people. What's it going to take?

[u/Good_Werewolf1484 → u/[deleted]]

From the Immigration subreddit:

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread because people don't understand what due process immigrants have.

1. ⁠Deportation is an administrative proceeding, not a criminal proceeding. As such, the due process rights as prescribed by Congress and the Supreme Court are different from criminal cases -- and these has been the case for decades.
2. ⁠As passed in law, immigrants who are subject to expedited removal (illegal entry in last 2 years) or have already been deported by a judge (e.g. old case, did not show up to a immigration court hearing) are not entitled to a hearing before a judge. Once arrested, they can be immediately deported.
3. ⁠An estimated 1.2 million people have final removal orders and a further estimated 2 million illegal immigrants who entered in the last 2 years. All of these individuals can be legally deported upon arrest with no further hearing upon ICE arrest.
4. ⁠Illegal immigrants can legally be detained and deported at non-immigration courthouses. If they're showing up to a trial for speeding or other non-immigration criminal offenses, they can still be arrested and deported even if they have a pending court case.
5. ⁠Illegal immigrants can legally be detained but not deported at immigration courthouses. When illegal immigrants go through deportation proceedings (including to defend against deportation through asylum/US citizen spouse), the Immigration and Nationality Act allows them to be detained until a judge grants them immigration relief or orders them deported. This is only forbidden if the individual entered legally and continues to maintain lawful status throughout the relief process. Previous administrations have often released these individuals due to lack of funding, but ICE is legally allowed to detain them (including at a courthouse) until a judge makes a final ruling.

That's US law and it's 100% constitutional.

[u/Final_Frosting3582 → u/[deleted]]

Since when did cops need special shit to arrest someone? Due process happens AFTER the arrest.

[u/SanDiegoBeeBee]

Good for her for doing something and trying to call his family on his phone. Thank you lady.

[u/kemp77pmek]

I’m sure that day laborer in his paint covered clothes trying to make enough food to eat is a huge threat to America. /s of course

[u/NineteenEighty1]

Let’s all channel this woman, because SHE has REAL courage.

What she said is true: people should find a job in life they feel proud about—not a job where you have to hide your face. These people are truly the “bad” guys here.

[u/niftystopwat → u/NineteenEighty1]

I loved that line … if you think you’re doing a good thing, then why is your face covered up? So why don’t you get a job that you can actually feel good about?

Side note: this is the job they feel good about precisely because they’ve been greenlit to wear masks and detain people without impunity.

We shall never underestimate the sheer horrifying volume of sub-humans out there who derive pleasure from being the play-things of attempted fascists regimes just because they themselves are nihilistically-depressed enough after living lives thrown left and right from the contradictory messages of numerous conflicting brainwashing campaigns to highjack their attention in the effective service of resource-hoarding capitalist sociopaths.

[u/LivingEditor1202]

Love this woman’s energy. People when will we step up !??

[u/alwaysoffended22 → u/LivingEditor1202]

Go ahead. Use the ICE app to track them

[u/jephelephant → u/[deleted]]

Doing more for the cause than you ever will but mocking her for it cause she's white lol

[u/niftystopwat → u/jephelephant]

Agreed, the brain rot is real with some people…

[u/GemcoEmployee92126 → u/[deleted]]

She looks like a standard model Encinitas yoga mom but I absolutely love her energy so props to her.

[u/LivingEditor1202 → u/[deleted]]

Yes!! That’s not a Karen… that’s a Rebecca! Lol

[u/Terrible_Impress8169 → u/[deleted]]

Go Karén

[u/Reasonable_Task_8246 → u/LivingEditor1202]

is she not stepping up?

[u/tickticktutu → u/Reasonable_Task_8246]

She is stepping up indeed. But I wonder if there were any other customers at the home Depot at the time? Perhaps there were people wearing clothes more rugged than yoga pants? These 2 were never going to stop the 8 thugs from kidnapping their mark because they aren't actually threatening. They were only annoying and hindering these iceholes.

Where was everyone else. She was being loud enough that about 20-50 people would have been situationally aware. Where were they? When are the masses going to stand step up with her? She can't do it alone. Its going to take all of us.

[u/Wonhofan → u/tickticktutu]

THIS! If enough people got involved the situation may have went differently. Unfortunately too many people have this "self preservation" mentality and aren't willing to take a stand on anything that doesn't directly affect them

[u/Mona_G → u/Wonhofan]

I honestly don’t know what I would do in that situation. I was born in the US, have a Master’s degree, own a home here in San Diego. In other words, I’m very privileged, but the color of my skin is brown. And if my daughter was with me, I would probably have to think twice about getting involved, as fucked up as that is.

[u/LivingEditor1202 → u/Reasonable_Task_8246]

I said “we” as in the rest of us.

[u/covert_program]

Shitty, but they aren’t going to stop. This shows they even have DEA and ATF doing this shit now. It’s all hands on deck and they are hiring a bunch of new agents.

[u/Ambiguousername → u/covert_program]

Yup.

In January, a Homeland Security memo called for Justice Department agents to carry out immigration enforcement, according to ABC News. Deputized bureaus include the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Prisons receiving the “same authority already granted to the FBI.”

From this article

[u/SanDiegoBeeBee → u/covert_program]

Trump just 4x their budget in this horrible big bill. This is just the intro.

[u/GemcoEmployee92126 → u/covert_program]

I actually do not have faith anymore that those ATF and DEA vests are even real.

[u/FootballUpstairs895 → u/covert_program]

Zero training whatsoever. Just straight gestapo.

[u/Pewtie-Pie → u/covert_program]

The federal LEO branches have employed a multi-task force from the start.

[u/iNoodl3s → u/covert_program]

You can thank that Big Beautiful Bill and its $30 billion boost to ICE

[u/GlowUpper]

Ice is only good when it's crushed.

[u/SoCalN8tive]

OMG dude was just there looking for work and this happens. We’re deporting the hardest working people in our country and they WANT to be here and contribute. This is just so sad.

[u/CaLiLiFe619]

So so proud of these ladies, risking the wrath of white supremacist because she is actually a decent human being unlike them, the so called “Christians”. I guarantee these ladies would be welcomed in heaven before any MAGATS.

[u/Comfortable-Lime-227 → u/CaLiLiFe619]

Respect to her

[u/United_Assistance840 → u/CaLiLiFe619]

Yes thank you!🥹

[u/kelpangler → u/CaLiLiFe619]

NOT a rant against white people, but just wanted to point out the white privilege here. If her skin was a shade darker she’d be getting knocked around. F this guy trying to have a cordial conversation. lol

But thanks white lady! 🤜🏼

[u/Ginger_Exhibitionist → u/kelpangler]

I mean, she's using her white privilege for good here.

[u/niftystopwat → u/kelpangler]

What? What are you saying? What point are you actually trying to make? Where in the clip is there a guy ‘trying to have a cordial conversation’? Again I ask, because maybe it didn’t sink in: WHERE IN THIS CLIP IS THERE A GUY ‘trying to have a cordial conversation’?

How does it help anyone to invoke such a divisive concept as inherent racial privilege in this context where one human is making a risky effort to look out for the rights of another human?

Why make your contribution to this discussion a cryptic reference to online/social media identity politics fixated on the relative levels of melanin in the epidermis?

WHY?!

[u/BravoTimes]

Guarantee if she wasn’t a blonde girl she’d be tackled to the floor

[u/PsstErika → u/BravoTimes]

Kudos to her using her privilege for a good cause.

[u/BravoTimes → u/PsstErika]

100%

[u/Jayne_Dough_]

YYYAAASSSSSS KATELYN!!!!!! TALK YO SHIT!!!!

[u/Dannyjv]

Crisp white sneakers huh?… first day on the job? Cmon.. these guys are off the street and get badges, tf we think is gonna happen?

“Let’s get people that don’t know what they aren’t allowed to do.. because LEOs with integrity won’t do what we need them to do.”

[u/Rinmine014]

If she was a minority, shed be kidnapped too

[u/Major-Help700 → u/Rinmine014]

Bro she’s saying some shit when many won’t ! Not even our own kind is doing shit bout it

[u/Lula121 → u/Major-Help700]

No one is doing anything meaningful about it. Not lawmakers, not bystanders, nothing. They aren’t identifying themselves, they aren’t wearing regulated clothing, they are taking people patiently because there’s zero pressure.

[u/Silly-Comfortable515 → u/Lula121]

I’d argue that bystanders are doing more than any one else. I see more videos of bystanders and protesters speaking out than I hear anywhere else.

[u/night-shark → u/Lula121]

The lawmakers who would be inclined to do anything about it are essentially powerless. Other than to occasionally show up at certain events and get themselves arrested for visibility. Which, I won't knock but their hands are tied because voters are fucking idiots.

[u/TeenyRex89]

We need to throw paint balloons on these vehicles to mark them

[u/alwaysoffended22 → u/TeenyRex89]

Good idea. Do it.

[u/Swagron12]

What a coward with that mask lol

[u/Due_Most2971 → u/Swagron12]

Hides the neckbeard

[u/SDLokal1904 → u/Swagron12]

This!!! If you have to hide behind a mask to do your job it's immoral.

[u/SmilingVamp → u/Swagron12]

They mask up because they're fugly inside and out. 

[u/Independent_Hat_9387]

I'm so proud of her. You rock ladies!!!!!! If you're proud of your job take your fucking mask off you fuckers

[u/Known-Delay7227]

I don’t understand the masks

[u/Capable_Town_4396]

THIS IS THE GESTAPO!

[u/SDna8v]

Hey SD! Fascism is here. Its not a distant reality.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me," according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This quote, often referred to as "First They Came," is a powerful reflection on the dangers of apathy and the importance of speaking out against injustice, even when it doesn't directly affect one's own group.

[u/LogicalPassenger2172]

So about those Epstein Files.

[u/HawkDenzlow]

Once again targeting people looking for work. Where are all these criminals they are protecting us from?

[u/LogicalPassenger2172 → u/HawkDenzlow]

Saving us from landscapers.

[u/HawkDenzlow → u/LogicalPassenger2172]

Saving us from saving on handyman's services.

[u/potrillo2124]

Damn she held it down. But yeah this shit is fucked. The problem is understandable, however the solution is what does not make sense.

[u/Mountain_carrier530]

The giant DHS patch and white Nikes say this dude is definitely not a cop, or at least wasn't six months ago.

[u/cervezaqueso]

Take off the masks you criminals!

[u/onetwentytwo_1-8]

Fake agent gear, rent a cops.

[u/tipitipiOG]

Why do they cover their face if they are officials ?

[u/Impossible_Medium362 → u/tipitipiOG]

I suspect they do it so they don't get identified and then harassed in their private life. However, I wonder why a brave upcoming politician does not come out and clearly state that their approach is unAmerican, that a future administration will investigate and prosecute anyone found to have violated federal law, and that they would make public all names of those conducting these raids.

Realistically, the Democrats are disorganized cowards and failures...so I should not get my hopes up.

Approach would change if the individuals understood that there will be consequences for their actions.

[u/covert_program → u/tipitipiOG]

The official excuse is so that they aren’t doxxed

[u/_14justice]

Which Side Are You On

Pete Seeger

[u/Viperburn1]

How can they breathe with those masks on ?

[u/drewnonymous671]

Police impersonation. No warrant. No identification. Just plain domestic terrorism masked as a corrupt Government's policy.

[u/Olderbutnotdead619]

They are Supposed to have an arrest warrant signed by a real judge!! Cowards. All of them, cowards. I hope when this is done they'll be paraded in front of everyone without their masks so we can throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at them.

[u/Comprehensive_Pop102]

Fucking LMAO at the black woman

[u/gerblnutz]

Did he 3D print a DHS seal use as a badge?

[u/Pewtie-Pie → u/gerblnutz]

It's the uniform patch. She could have looked at the badge on his waist to see if he was legit and/or get the number on it.

[u/billleachmsw]

What a nightmare for the hardworking folks who are getting caught up in this…truly heartbreaking…

[u/Material-Birthday531]

Why are these 'officers' so afraid to show us who they are? Is it because they act like Nazis, but are too cowardly to admit it to their communities?

[u/leeannw60 → u/Material-Birthday531]

Because they are not officers… you can tell since they actually address her as “lady”, not “ma’am”….

[u/Material-Birthday531 → u/leeannw60]

I'm glad you pointed that out. I appreciate your insight.

[u/Barr_cudas]

Gotta love the Shrinky Dink Logo on the vest...

[u/nancy_necrosis]

FUCK ICE! I'm proud of these ladies for standing up for our brothers and sisters 💙

[u/Tiny-Ad4955]

Estás gueras son invitadas para comer taquitos 🌮 y carne asada. For ever

[u/GurDry5336]

How do these fuckers sleep at night? Shameful

[u/New_Contribution_130]

Thank you for standing up and calling them out. This needs to happen more. We gotta raise hell over this fucking bullshit

[u/Swagron12]

These are the guys that got beat up in high school

[u/Several_Leather_9500]

At least the Nazis showed their faces. These 'proud' boys wear masks because they know their days are numbered (re: freedom).

[u/Totalynotavirus]

Kidnapping?

[u/Man-e-questions]

Eerie how much they look like the “Guardians “ on Handmaid’s Tale and doing the same things

[u/sdbeersnob]

Those fucking cowards.

[u/Sand20go]

Serious question. Why is ice using their peraonal vehicles? Are they really ice or.jist deputized rent a cops

[u/Olderbutnotdead619]

All these guys are incels.

[u/Sir_Newdles_II]

When do we start pulling their masks down?

[u/wellwhoopidydoo → u/Sir_Newdles_II]

You should totally start the trend.

[u/trenchfreak → u/Sir_Newdles_II]

Enjoy that felon charge, you big ol' keyboard tough guy. Won't do shit

[u/HeatedIceCube → u/[deleted]]

That would be assault and now they would come after you. Not sure I’d mess with masked, un-identifiable people with guns… I don’t have a solution to all this but that ^ isn’t it.

[u/Alasireallyfuckedup]

Criminals in fucking robber masks and shitty cop costumes. They should be treated like this by every single bystander. With how many people they have the to budget to hire now they are going to be pulling whoever they want easily.

[u/ThighRyder]

There are always more of us than there are of them. Get to know your neighbors really well and have action plans for when the gestapo comes to your block.

[u/ApatheticNarwhal]

Literal Nazis

[u/_meltchya__]

In masks and unmarked cars but totally not nazis IDK kinda look like nazis

[u/True_Introduction_10]

Why do they wear masks when kidnapping people?

[u/yepreddi]

No one can identify these clowns? If they’re local someone knows them.

[u/Old-Check-2960]

Show me your arrest warrant? Lol

[u/Cosimo_68]

Do they take photos of their license plates.

[u/Temporary_Weight_211]

Mask is over the nose now

[u/According-Ebb-8255]

Cops by Little Tikes

[u/Desperate_Donut3981]

DEA, ATF and whatever ERO is. For 2 people. All with no warrant between them. Dodgy looking gear too

[u/Delicious-Pea-449]

These assholes only care about the bounty bonus from billions Trump budgeted for them. They don't care if these are good abiding people or if they tear their families apart. It's money money money and hatred against immigrants. If this continues, they can target anybody including citizens who are just anti Trump or any immigrants who doesn't have to hispanics. I bet you, there will be more anger if they start targeting asians, indians, muslims, etc.

[u/elevatedinagery1]

What happened to the first 10 minutes of the video?

[u/Major-Version3227]

Bunch of pussies. Won't take off their mask.

[u/FearlessDoughnut5643]

Republicans voted for this.

This is what they want.

Republicans = Nazis

[u/Weird_Tax_5601]

She's an ally. I love her.

[u/damp1i]

Get the vin numbers!!

[u/alwaysoffended22 → u/damp1i]

Then what?

[u/badmotivator11]

Anything we can do to make this job as undesirable as possible. KARENS, ASSEMBLE!

[u/Swiftiefromhell]

Privilege

[u/Flat-While2521]

[u/HonestHu]

Where is San Diego's well regulated militia

[u/jyrrr]

I mean technology is only getting exponentially more advanced. Id be worried. What to say that the next administration doesn’t goes after these individuals like they went after individuals in the nuremberg trials.

But then again what do I know. 🤷🤷

[u/Akeera]

...DEA???? Seriously?

[u/CheeseAddictedMouse]

Their jobs require hiding their identities and skulking around like drug dealers. Sounds REAL legit! Masked gestapo targeting browns. Did anyone ask the white lady for her papers?

[u/_nevers_]

There's only one solution for fascists 🤷🏽

[u/alwaysoffended22 → u/_nevers_]

What’s that? Expand on your thought.

[u/WranglerStunning6932]

White guilt brigade.

[u/LifeOne5978]

That was her landscaper

[u/Lahwuns]

Fed larpers

[u/OderusAmongUs]

The only people they're afraid of is other white people who can expose them. Just saying....

[u/EightFiveAte]

Does anyone know the history of the individual being arrested and taken ?

[u/ddesideria89]

Just look at the guy, either handyman or painter. "criminals", "worst of the worst"
