    I still don’t understand why a bunch of guys don’t just dress up as ICE agents with masks, guns and an unmarked van and just rob a bank. Then just go from town to town doing it everywhere.

    It’s the perfect cover, especially in cities. ICE agents are basically lawless mercenaries, so no one really knows who’s real and who’s not, and law enforcement is being used for actual ICE activities elsewhere.

    I hope ICE is going without pay during the shutdown. That’ll test your loyalty pretty quick when your 42% APR dodge charger is gonna be repossessed.

      I believe that they are. They are federal employees. I think for this reason, we should keep it going for a long while.

      Most ice agents are likely just desperate, and assholes. But mostly desperate. Oof, but also assholes… This is hard to quantify.

    Yeah it diverted a ton of cops from sitting in a parked car scrolling instagram while collecting overtime on the highest salary in the region. But I guess them being overpaid worthless shitbags was preferable to being fascist shitbags.

    And he’s gonna say they decrease in arrest means a decrease of crime…

    His voters have such a warped view of what cities are like, they won’t notice nothing changed. If they see reality, they assume what trump’s doing worked and that’s why Chicago ain’t Mad Max
