... have the Feds not bombed a private residence for a long time?

I know of 1985 but I'm sure this is a more regular occurrence.

There must be a list, but I can't find it on Wiki.

(To clarify if unclear, the explosives used in this case was to damage the door, not to bring down the building.)

If they do this for a simple collision, can you imagine how ICE would react if, while they're off arresting people, a group tipped over their cars? I mean, such a disturbing event would only take about four or five people, which would be terrible. I hope it never happens, especially more than once.

ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.

I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

In a statement Friday afternoon, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during course of a law enforcement operation. During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel. Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.”

ICE are lying bastards and their time is up.

Sounds like a little obstruction so they went militant, you can imagine the blood pressure in the room where they were discussing it

Ramirez said her boyfriend tried to stop the Jeep, but unintentionally hit the truck.

ICE and police lack any credibility, it's a creative writing exercise.

Same reason the Mafia or the Cartels don't call the police when something goes down.

If you don't take care of it yourself how will people know not to fuck with you ?

ICE also claims Narciso Barranco stood his ground and assaulted officers with a weedwacker when he was clearly fleeing on the video. Their claims are worth as much as the toilet paper square I wiped my ass with this morning.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I'd say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.

Don't undersell your own shit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hey, with enough will power and fed up people, an ICE agent could also be used as fertilizer.

They won't even show their faces or credentials yet we're also supposed to take their words as gospel truth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My friend and I had this awesome ski trip planned for Colorado. We changed our plans last night to go to Canada instead.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Based on how the skiing has been the last few years out here, youre better off going to Whistler anyways. Even without ICE terrorism and its impact on our ability to serve tourists

I wonder what the breaking point will be? I worry that we're still a long, long way from it.

ICE terrorists deserve to be drawn and quartered.

America is at war with America.

This isn't exclusive to America, This is an international ring.

Everyone who lives at the home is a U.S. citizen, Ramirez said.

Yup

Terrorism perpetrated by the state. They brought what looks like 20+ jackbooted thugs to arrest one man. This is meant to terrorize supporters of the anti-ICE movement. I don’t want to get banned for promoting violence against the “federal agents”, specifically assassinations, so I won’t suggest such things here. Not calling for that.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

If an unannounced person enters your home, I encourage you to use any and all powers available to end their life to protect yours. Anyone that doesn't want to dodge bullets can knock first. It's really a pretty straightforward principle.

You are not promoting violence, You are upholding the law of the land.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They are promoting community defense

At no point does anyone in the story attempt to justify the explosive breach. They were looking for a guy who was in a car accident with feds and let go.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nor do they justify the armored personnel carrier... Talk about over the top. Obviously intentionally over the top to intimidate.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

And all they ever accomplish when trying to show force is to look like scared little bitches.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The justification is intimidation.
