ICE agents are despised for their brutal treatment of migrants and anyone who crosses them, acting like spineless cowards by hiding their identities. Who takes such a vile job? Someone obsessed with cash, clearly prioritizing their salaries over basic human decency.

ALLEGED US federal agents operating without identification are legally equivalent to the people they are disappearing for having no proof on person of being in the country legally.
This is much in keeping with the latest human species-threatening demonstration of imperial cosmic hypocrisy as two nuclear weapon-possessing countries (one legal and the other quite outside all pertinent international law) attacking a third country in FULL compliance with international regulation of enrichment of radiochemicals for approved civilian use.
Yet another example of the ineptitude of the resistance-left in this country. If you’re getting $120,000 a year (and … looks up word in dictionary … benefits), you’ve had to submit an I-9. Any competent resistance would either hack the databases, set up surveillance, bribe someone, infiltrate, etc., and gain access to that information and then publicize it anonymously on the internet.
In the schoolyard, it’s all the kids standing around not saying or doing anything that actually stops the bully from beating up the victim. “Using your words” has never worked against bullies. A handful of sand in the face and a well-aimed foot to the groin? Remarkably effective in getting the bully to move along to someone more compliant. Until the crowds start using mob justice against ICE, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
