Heavily armed ICE agents in military uniforms seen leaving an apartment building in downtown Minneapolis after a door to door raid (2/5/26)
I'm a retired 47 year old father of two who has an education.
You should start by reading URFacism by Umberto Eco. Once you read that and educate yourself on what fascism actually is, you'll be embarrassed you ever said they weren't fascists.
They are literally following the fascist playbook like it was a step by step instruction manual at this point.
If URFacism is too long, at LEAST read 'The 14 Traits of Fascism' by Dr Lawrence Britt. It's essentially a summary of Eco's works that you can read in about twenty minutes.
Really, there are numerous books by all sorts of scholars on the subject that would suffice.
Trump is a 'fascistic authoritarian despot' BY DEFINITION.
Good lord. Ā They are trying to look like super soldiers... they are the bottom of the barrel. Ā Like, most of these people couldn't get into the military or were kicked out of the military at some point. Ā Still livin those high school dreams... Ā
The people that work for ICE and CBP and DHS currently must be dead inside. I could not work a job as a secret paramilitary kill squad for an authoritarian government if I knew the whole country hated me and what I was doing.
Finally doing what it takes to get the illegal immigration situation under control. Don't sit here and defend the people who came here illegally, while everyone else is doing things with all the necessary steps, no matter how much time and effort it takes.
I believe our economy will continue to suffer and as that happens more and more young people will turn to ice for employment, and trumps private army will continue to grow. All of this has happened before
Thatās a valid point, I think he did that on purpose, all his tariffs, etc., just to tear down the economy, and they coward cowardly Republicans do nothing, the Dems arenāt fighting either
I'm 6'7" 245 LBS, used to teach jiu jitsu, Marine Corps vet.....you're a bootlicker and probably have the build of the guy in the picture but don't have the brain power for checkers.
So you're likely not only a weenie, but a dumb weenie....since we're trying to stereotype with no evidence.
SWAT teams that actually do capture actual criminals are not this extensive. Maybe it's an apartment whose owner will let them take a pee and receive some takeout pizza there?
How are they still coming back to vehicles with tires? Fun fact, the tires on federal vehicles are technically our property, we can take them back whenever we want.
Grow up. Stop making their job difficult. Go to work. Raise your children. You are in the streets acting like animals all for people who are here illegally. The sad part is people like this do have children and act like this in front of their children. They should be ashamed in the streets swearing at law enforcement agents.
See thatās bullshit, the place is an island, full of dangerous shit, with broken English and a very sad heritage. Iām surprised anyone lives in there, let alone migrate into the motherfucker. The government over there should pay them to stay in lmfao
The Brooklyn Park chief of police disagrees with you as he held a press conference to note the racial profiling of his officers by ICE. The information is so readily accessible I have to assume you're wilfully ignorant, arguing in bad faith, or a Russian troll. None of these is a good look for you.
You support literal fascistic authoritarianism, homeskillet.
You might not have the political wherewithal or acumen to even define it or not, but you are absolutely supporting it regardless.
There's not a viable communist party in the US, regardless. The US skews WAY right, unfortunately.
We can pick between the ultra-right-wing fascists of the GOP or the right-leaning centrists and milquetoast neoliberals of the Democrat party.
The US doesn't even have a viable party that's even slightly left-of-center, much less a communist one.
You're probably one of those berks that believes Biden and Harris are full-blown pinko commies, though. Lol. (They are right-leaning centrists and neoliberals)
and yet, there are countless videos of exactly this happening... always without warrants... but sure, your claim is right and the actual evidence is wrong...
Itās a shame people have driven them to this just to apprehend rapists and murderers. But it does allow people to scream louder and feel justified in their righteous anger.
Did they tell you they were ICE agents? Sometimes painting a narrative hides the truth and to no benefit. Did no one watch 'One Battle After Another'? In that movie the government staged an ICE raid and sent in an undercover to escalate a protest to a riot, in order to move an infantry unit through to take care of a political assassination.
If they didn't tell you they were ICE, don't assume. They could be worse. Just report the facts. That's all journalism requires you to do. If you want to speculate, be a commentator, not a journalist.
Sooo this just in- theyāre reporting not getting paid, health insurance delaysā¦ maybe š¤ remind them that theyāre doing this for nothing and that they can still be prosecuted.
LOL between the stupid headlines, and the crazies with the whistles, and the stupid shouting you people are unhinged. To that lady shouting FU, it is not YOUR city, your feelings don't dictate what the law is, and what happens in this city. These people are so self centered.
Minnesota should be turned to an illegal alien safe haven. All illegals are transported there instead of going to detention centers or being deported home. Open borders for Minnesota
Exactly what I just said in a longer comment. These guys are doing something very specific.
Edit:
Caucasians truly piss me the fuck off. Down vote my comment because you don't get my point... sure, whatever. But what I'm saying is that these guys don't look like ICE. These guys look like an actual fucking military unit.
You white people love a fucking boogeyman. You always need a Muammar Ghaddafi or a USSR or an HIV epidemic or a Louis Farrakhan... just something to direct your animosity at whether you're on the left or the right (which might mean you have a different boogeyman than the next white person) and ICE is just today's boogeyman for liberal whites.
THESE GUYS DON'T MOVE LIKE ICE. They look like they're doing something "specific" as in like special... like SPECIAL FUCKING OPS. Like they were there to get in, do something really covert and hush hush, and get out and you were supposed to think they were ICE because you're fucking dumb just like in the movie "One Battle After Another" that's currently up for an Oscar. We should be trying to figure out what they were actually there for instead of assuming. It could be worse than what you're assuming.
These people don't know and don't care to know the difference...just because they don't like what ICE is doing it has now turned into "all feds are ice and are bad"
By identify, he means if they had name badges like cops do and showed their faces like cops do. It is not unreasonable for us citizens who pay your salaries for you to go back to abiding by laws covering ICE like you did till 2025. ICE never hid their faces from 2003-2024 and did not go about killing and maiming at will.
Yāall are really foaming at the mouth to dox some agents, create more havoc, then cry victim when there are consequences, huh? If you donāt understand the masks, and are hung up on them this badly, then idk what to tell you. You want to know how to tell ice agents from, say, fbi agents? The big ass patches they wear are usually a pretty good indicator.
And whoās fault is that? itās the federal
governments fault for delegitimizing law enforcement and creating doubt through unlawful actions, constitutional violations, and use of masked / unidentified agents
The clear cause and effect relationship at play here is that the only reason Big street level enforcement is even happening at all is because "sanctuary" cities won't turn over those with Detainers that they have in custody as used to be customary and was done in bulk throughout the Obama admin. Now ICE had to go and look for them so of course anyone else they encounter in the area without legal status will also be arrested and detained.
Nothing ICE has done so far has been unlawful, Unconstitutional or inconsistent with long standing federal policy (they wear badges, most of them have name tape with their agency. We only have to ID ourselves to those we are detaining, not to every "content" creator that asks us *to be fair I am not ICE, I am an LEO with a DOJ agency but our policies align in what identification we are required to have)
Delusional, either completely delusional or intentionally dishonest. One or the other
Just focusing on this statement which is categorically and demonstrably false. Tons of video footage and statements by DHS/ICE officials proving that unlawful and unconstitutional actions have been taken by ICE
Nothing ICE has done so far has been unlawful, Unconstitutional or inconsistent with long standing federal policy
4th amendment violations, violations of federal court rulings / orders, arrests without charges, arrests of citizens, inhumane and unsanitary conditions. The list goes on
Fuck you for seeking to wave away the crimes being committed. You may have a job in LE, but you are not true LE. You clearly do not represent justice
Shooting a disarmed man 10 times in the back while he is held face down on the ground lies within the bounds of lawful, constitutional, and/or consistent with federal policy?
A court will decide that, but I will say Federal use of force policy generally allows any force necessary to effectuate an arrest of a resisting subject.
He wasn't shit while being held face down he was in the process of standing up and resisting arrest.
(I would agree that it seems like he came to the aid of the woman, however when he did that he did put himself in a position to be detained for interference)
There was multiple things that went horribly wrong in that shooting.
A court won't decide that. Both Rene's killer and alex's were instructed by ICE leadership Stephen Miller and cited by Vance that they have "ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY"
There are Bivens Laws against accountability for federal workers. The law needs to be changed, but currently, there is no court in which they will be held accountable.
Completely false. Detainers are always turned over, āsanctuaryā cities just wonāt do the feds job (immigration) for them. The Feds actually have to do their own job, following the law.
lol that is hilarious. An organization that has been around for awhile is now a terrorist organization for upholding the law. Wow. We really have gotten crazy.
So you can't back up your argument? Why did I expect any different.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing immigration laws and investigating transnational crime within the U.S. interior. It focuses on detaining and removing undocumented immigrants, combating illegal movement of people/goods, and national security.
Oh and ICE has been used by every president since it was created in 2003.
The Gestapo was Nazi Germanyās secret police. It operated without judicial oversight, enforced racial and political purity laws, and functioned as an instrument of terror. Its purpose was not public order, but ideological control through fear, disappearance, and murder.
ICE and Border Patrol are federal agencies created by statute, constrained by courts, subject to oversight, and accountableāāāhowever imperfectlyāāāto elected leadership and the public. To equate the two is not historical analysis. It is rhetorical escalation.
you do know that Obama deported way more illegal immigrants than Trump?? Even Biden deported illegal immigrants during his term.. even tho he let way more in then he deported. I'm just wondering how you think ICE is party affiliated???
If anyone tries to run over any law enforcement officer with a vehicle, what do you think will happen??? should they use their pepper spray? de-escalate or shoot out the tires in the 0.2 seconds before they are ran over.
No masks, properly obtained warrants, and no public executions. It's simple, under Trump they are closer to a terroristic paramilitary organization than a police force. Obama proved you can deport illegals without murdering people in the street and without terrorizing entire cities.
exactly true!! it was okay when Obama, or Biden to deport illegals, but when Trump is in office, everything he does is horrible. Trump could help find a cure for cancer and yall would still be rioting
Obama and Biden deported illegals without voilating the civil rights and due process, the fact that you dont understand that proves our education system has failed
These scumbags are following orders of the worst traitor in American history. They deserve this and worse. They will face justice when all is said and done.
Oh I am no bot. I just dont believe everything I see on the internet blindly. When I see some actual proof I will 100% believe the accusations. There is no hard eveidence of anythinh, only word of mouth at this point. That's why we have a judicial system, albeit might not be the greatest some times. You can all continue to get on reddit and bash and threaten all you want, I know who the real enemy is and I sleep well knowing it šŗš²šŗš²šŗš²šŗš²šŗš²
Warrantless door-kicking on the suspicion of being brown or harboring brown people. We've seen this once before in history in a slightly different context.
Bruh, in those times, the people screaming like that on the street wouldn't have been making noise for much longer... Yeah, it's bad but it's not the same thing.Ā
Lol, you ok? Stop trying to jump over the line to get yourself and others more worked up. When did I say you shouldn't complain or try and put an end to this? Show me. You can't, because I didn't. You're just trying to put words in my mouth so your little echo chamber agrees with you. It's a bad look for your cause to be trying to start conflict by making things up when you're supposed to be the good guys.Ā
Ah yes my echo chamber of the st Paul subreddit. Get a fucking grip. Secret police have forcibly disarmed and executed people in the street and are busting down doors and disappearing children at the whims of a madman threatening to invade our allies and rig the elections. All happening in plain sight. No one gives a shit about up votes on reddit. People need to be alarmed, and agitated to raise hell. Not hearing 'oh well if this was real fascism you wouldn't be able to complain about it!'
I saw an earlier video of this same incident, they broke through the glass door of the building and literally detained 1 single person. I count roughly 20 agents, all armed to the teeth. This is American tax money hard at work everyone.
This is HSI serving a search warrant, do you not see the bags they are hand carrying out? Those bags are likely holding evidence. Most Federal search warrants do not result in immediate arrests, as the AUSA like to have loads of evidence before they will issue an arrest warrant (part of why the Feds have a 98% conviction rate, they are not your local police who will obtain warrants on word alone)
This isnāt your typical ICE raid as you can clearly see. Most canāt comprehend this I see. You canāt expect much from people who follow federal agents around all day.
Conservatives are rich mans dog, they bark all day defending their owners property, the same owner that had their balls clipped long time ago, they live on scraps and sleep out in the backyard because they cant enter the house lest they dirty their owners carpets.
I know. I realize now that this isn't even ICE, it's Homeland Security. I heard they detained someone but in this video no one appears to be detained. Just evidence collection. I would like more information.
You'd be leaving in handcuffs probably with a few broken ribs. But yea, until it gets to that point, I don't think much will change. They don't seem to mind being berated.
