I’m so confused. If they were legally detaining him, why are they in secret hoodies hiding their faces and running away
Two ICE agents in plain clothes punched and tried to handcuff an Australian man at Las Vegas Airport. When they saw they were being filmed, they quickly left.

You’re not confused. If what they were doing was legal they wouldn’t have to hide their faces like a bunch of pussy-ass bitches
NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 2 days ago
I think the idea comes from central and south American police who hide the identities of their police to prevent retaliation from organized crime, who are often very well funded and have no qualms about torturing and murdering random people to ensure the law remains powerless to stop their reign of fear and terror.
However, in this case it is to prevent the police themselves from answering to the courts, and to hide themselves from public scrutiny. Even if you are not breaking the law, America’s legal system is brutal and destructive, and they know that and don’t want to face it themselves.
Matrix6664@lemmy.world 2 days ago
The idea of hiding ones self with a hood or wearing a disguise it is quite ancient… It is not clear why you are trying to connect this concept with central and south america, I get your point, but it doesn’t require such a complex comparison. The purpose here is quite simple.

When encountered everyone should swarm these anonymous ICE losers, hold them down, demask, photograph and release them.
In an ideal world they’d get the Hans Landa treatment.

Yeah they made him look like the worlds biggest simp as he’s still trying to block the people recording without realizing that these two “agents” have already booked it out of there right behind his back.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Ice agents? Unless identified as law enforcement they’re just some assholes beating up an innocent man.
I’d start beating the shit out of them then claim in court there was no way for me to know who they were.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I’ve got bad news for you about American courts.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 days ago
People keep saying, “Why aren’t the courts doing anything about ICE?”
They are.
Federal courts have ruled thousands of times that ICE unlawfully detained people. Reuters reported that judges have found ICE illegally jailed individuals more than 4,400 times. There are also multiple active lawsuits alleging excessive force, denial of medical care, abusive detention conditions, and unconstitutional arrests.
The problem isn’t that the courts aren’t ruling against ICE. The problem is that many of these rulings apply to individual cases or specific jurisdictions rather than creating nationwide policy. Critics argue that ICE has continued many of the same practices despite repeated adverse court decisions.
Those are two very different issues. One is whether the judiciary is checking ICE’s conduct. The other is whether ICE is consistently changing its behavior in response to those rulings.

not every Russian is pro pootin but plenty in the US cheer at deaths over the war with Ukraine and America’s current behavior affects many more directly than that conflict

The ice guy is also wearing a fake mustache that’s peeling off. Hopfully he’s been identified by now and the neighbourhood he lives in knows he’s part of the gestapo.

I think it’s two women, maybe one is rocking a fake mustache to try to appear male at first glance.
These two barely read as ICE to me much less any other LEO, they must be scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point.

Man in fake moustache steals a shoe after seeing hes being filmed.
Is this confirmed as ICE or have the common thugs latched onto it by now? Its only a matter of time.
anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah how the fuck is this allowed? Masked people disappearing people off the streets? There should be way more stink about how they hide behind masks, that itself is so blatantly anti-democratic.
It also has a significant psychological effect on the “agents” in that they feel they can’t be held responsible and it also internally dehumanizes them because they are no longer [person] but [anonymous agent].
We saw what this leads to in the banana republic regimes that the US/CIA installed all over the world in the 60s, it always ended the same way, brutal repression and extrajudicial killings.

If people are dumb enough to vacation in a Fascist country, fuck them. There wasn’t much tourism in Nazi Germany but people were smarted then.

CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m American and I went to universal studios this past weekend and was shocked by the amount of foreign tourists. It’s wild to me they don’t know or don’t care about the risk to themselves but are also willing to spend their tourist dollars here, essentially condoning the current government. There’s lots of legitimate reasons to be in the US but tourism isn’t one of them, that said there’s no excusing the actual perpetrators here, which aren’t the tourists. Fuck ICE not the people here for whatever reason.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I kind of agree. I wouldn’t go to the US for now, but they are helding the world cup and some people have to go work. I think the amount of people that went is crazy.

BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
Ahh, victim blaming. People shouldn’t come here because it’s dangerous but I’m going to feel sorry when bad things happen. As well, the Nazis had a lot of tourism, in fact they hosted the Olympics before the war there and used it to spread propaganda. Just tourism dropped because of the war, not because of the Nazis.

The victim was born in Vietnam, is a citizen of Australia, went to USA in 2013 on a 2 year visa, that expired in 2015, he has been living in USA since then.
lavander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Sure he was… And the agents know that he was illegal… and they left even knowing he was illegal…
And probably he was using a car as a weapon (car is not visible here but clearly he had one)

Well I don’t think they test for critical thinking skills on the application. Ability to successfully spell your own name on the first attempt probably elevates you to a high ranking position.
Anyone with any brains and the ability to think more than 10 seconds in front of their own face has long since realised that joining ice is very much like signing your own death warrant. One way or another the Trump administration is going to come down and these idiots are going to be the first on the chopping blocks.

The TSA goon is an overlooked, frightening part of this. TSA has a perception of authority in these airports and he’s actively facilitating the abduction of someone by two plainclothes thugs and pretending anyone from intervening.
