I have said the exact. same. thing. This is why they are wearing masks. Project 2025 dashboard was signing up these thugs months ago to do this dirty work. Why do you think they are wearing masks? Because they don't want us to know that these are J6 thugs - not legal federal agents.
The Nazis didn't wear mask, the mask are not the problem, it's Miller and Homan and their deportation quota! Before we can stop this we need to get more people involved to help to turn this around. The national protest need to get much larger and more frequent. Once a month isn't going to cut it! Strike? Boycott? Civil Disobedience? Withhold paying your taxes? Mask or no mask these people need to look at themselves in the mirror and quit before it's to late!!!
I'M READY! I think the lag time (month) between national protest is a big mistake. Also all protest should be on Saturday or Sunday and more U.S. flags need to be present. Boycotts, strikes, anything we need to show more resistance. I want my Democracy back and I'm not willing to wait 4 years to get it.
Than you Elly. I agree 100%. It may be true that these are J6ers or proud boys, etc, but suspecting and knowing are very different things. We have to hold ourselves accountable to the truth too, and not spread hearsay.
There's been too many distractions lately. We should be talking about ICE, HSI, FBI and BORDER PATROL roughing up everybody that they come in contact with. Who are these people? What kind of person does this? I'll tell you, the SS and Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany. I hope their around when the "Corruption Trials" begin.
This is Hitler’s brown shirts and SS, and Russia’s FSB secret agents. What is are strategy. I’d say either get Trump and Congress to rescind mask wearing, and if they won’t pull them off. This is domestic intimidation and terror tactics plain and simple. We the people must find a way to stop this because NO ONE IS SAFE.
A lot of think the same thing. There is one video of an ICE agent pointing a gun at some random person just driving down the street. The way he held the gun is more conducive to being a gang member than a trained officer. Seems this guy spent too much time watching 1970’s drug movies.
Why? Because it is NOT about enforcing laws, ensuring justice, nor keeping the peace. It is about bullying, about instilling fear, and about keeping the hatred and division boiling over! It is about stirring fear in all of us, and smashing dissent to anyone not in agreement with the rapidly increasing assault on all the values for democracy.
Trust In ICE ACT: A bill outlawing the concealment of faces during law enforcement activities. The bill further establishes a tribunal for determination of continued eligibility for employment, or government funded support based on potential illegal acts during any current or prior administration. The tribunal shall have complete discretion to withhold current or past compensation and make recommendations for further penalties based on a majority vote of the tribunal. The tribunal members shall be comprised of members of Congress.
This behavior is no different than Klan behavior and is meant to intimidate and send fear not just to the people they are grabbing but everyone who sees it. This is not the police I grew up with who were proud of their jobs, whose name you knew and called out when you saw them in and out of uniform. Public servants who were proud protecting the public not terrifying them. Shame on this behavior.
It’s a proposal with an implied threat of investigation. It would outlaw all this mask wearing during law enforcement activities. Just a framework for people to think about.
What's the official name of this act? I tried to look it up, but wasn't able to find it. I also asked ChatGPT if there was such a bill going through Congress, but it couldn't find it. Thanks.
THESE MEN are Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters. And on and on. They have been offered that $40,000. Bonus that we know is in the big awful bill.
These are hired monsters with no other training than their own hate.
I have said the exact. same. thing. This is why they are wearing masks. Project 2025 dashboard was signing up these thugs months ago to do this dirty work. Why do you think they are wearing masks? Because they don't want us to know that these are J6 thugs, Proud Boys, etc - not legal federal agents anymore than I am.
I think you were replying to someone else actually, but there are some dudes out there that are just posers. You often have to seek out the proof. In today's Amerikkka especially.
Of what? That a lot of these clowns are posing as ICE? It is 100% true. Some are legit ICE officers, of course but even THEY shouldn't be wearing masks. The epitome of cowardice for those in such a line of work. And where many LEO are overweight (far too many actually), a lot of these guys are fat slobs in t-shirts and jeans with b.s. "tactical gear" you can buy online.
I'll try and find a video I saw yesterday of a woman recording a bunch of FAKE ICE posers trying to nab people at a car wash.
No badges, no warrants, no authorization. They RAN away, like the scared little b*tches they really are when people stood up to them. Which I wish more people would do!!
This is an excellent question. WHERE are the local police?? They should be notified about the "ICE Agents" in question. The very sus behaving ones for sure.
They should also be pissed off that the Feds are completely disregarding them as well.
I have worked for both Immigration aka ICE and the FBI. Both of those require strict standards to get selected, including background screening and 8-9 training on proper procedures. From experience, these are NOT proper procedures being used.
SOME of these guys are alt right haters! They are not real authorized ICE agents. When people are emboldened to hate with no repercussions, this is what happens.
They wear masks because they aren’t official federal or state agents. Their equipment and dress aren’t uniform. No identification. Most wear Nike’s with skinny jeans. They’re here for one reason, to intimidate the American public. They are Trump’s version of the ‘Brown Shirts’.
History will show that some of these agents are not agents in some of the videos that I’ve noticed. Their actions are not trained law-enforcement in the case of the father of three Marines being beaten, I observed one obese man with a metal bar in his hand, which I doubt is Standard issue
This issue has bothered me for quite some time now. My daughter in law and grandchildren are mixed race and I am worried that at any time they could be abducted by these "secret police" goons just based on how they look and without any regard for the fact that they are all citizens. This practice is so un-American. Adam, how can you mobilize us to interven with this problem. I live in RED Indiana and neither Jim Banks nor Todd Young care anything about what is happening to all of us out in our towns and cities. I have written tons of letters without response. I am ready to take action. On behalf of the safety of my family, I would even mount a class action suit. Please Adam, I can't take the talk, talk, talk any more. We need to do something. Without stopping this now, it will ony grow. THIS MUST BE STOPPED NOW,
Hi, Barbara, Maybe reaching out to ACLU for your class action idea, or Democracy Docket, or Democracy Forward, Amnesty International..... I too am trying to think of how to help in this horrific situation so am eager to share and learn about paths/ resources.
I couldn’t agree more. These are amateurs; untrained thugs and bounty hunters. The doxxing argument is laughable. These are the very people who began this practice.
These guys are the face of the Gestapo. But the Gestapo showed their faces so we have cowards who don’t want to be identified. I am with you Adam. We need Congress to step in and stop this grab of our rights
Exactly - and I personallly am so tired of politicians' lip service. They all complain about whats going on but basically do nothing but solicit for more donations and write 'angry' letters to 47.
This topic is so important! Thanks for bringing it to the forefront!! I was watching MSNBC last night and Rachel Maddow went indepth how innocent people are being taken from their places of work, worship, etc! One was a father of 3 Marine sons, one gentleman was born in this Country and many others we don't even know about!! You know these masked thugs were going to Dodger stadium just to "shop" for victims! Not only should they have to unmask but show the warrants!! We need to keep fighting this because they're just doing it for trump's optics! Thanks again Adam and God bless! 🙏🏻
I do believe there are nefarious players in these “ICE” operations. I saw one pic of masked men (guns visible) in jeans and plaid flannel shirts. I’m pretty sure that’s not the new uniforms of any kind of law enforcement agency. Come on now, does the orange man-baby think we’re too stupid to notice that, really?
The scariest part of this to me is that anyone can dress up like these ice agents with masks. What is to keeping people from dressing this way and kidnapping and trafficking young people?
Thank you Adam for saying this out loud‼️ It is what I think every time I watch another “take down” on TV. This is not the American way. I’m on this earth 81 years and have never seen anything like this. As Americans we must all stand together and not accept anything less than Due Process‼️
Stop calling them agents. That legitimizes what they actually are. Slavers and thugs. Thwart them. Misdirect them. Resist them. Immobilize them. Do not comply.
They are not trained agents they are J6 pardoned folks who note have a job and they are nasty
I have said the exact. same. thing. This is why they are wearing masks. Project 2025 dashboard was signing up these thugs months ago to do this dirty work. Why do you think they are wearing masks? Because they don't want us to know that these are J6 thugs - not legal federal agents.

Mask or no mask these people need to look at themselves in the mirror and quit before it's to late!!!
these thugs are probably getting paid handsomely with OUR tax dollars. They do not have a conscience, if they did, they wouldn't be doing this shit.
This is the stuff that starts civil wars!!!
yep. I told my spouse that a year ago and they laughed. Not laughing now.
Call them what they are: American Gestapo
Some of them don’t cast a reflection in a mirror
Take an unpaid vacation for a week. Everyone!
I do think boycotts, which hit economically and strikes. In Europe these things happen all the time and it is a way people exert power.
I'M READY! I think the lag time (month) between national protest is a big mistake. Also all protest should be on Saturday or Sunday and more U.S. flags need to be present. Boycotts, strikes, anything we need to show more resistance. I want my Democracy back and I'm not willing to wait 4 years to get it.
This is the part where I hope the orange dumbass drops dead of natural causes from one too many Big Macs before he can pardon them all.
I have a strong feeling this may be true. But without proof, I don't want to spread urban myths.
Than you Elly. I agree 100%. It may be true that these are J6ers or proud boys, etc, but suspecting and knowing are very different things. We have to hold ourselves accountable to the truth too, and not spread hearsay.
You may be right-they are cowards behind those masks.
There's been too many distractions lately. We should be talking about ICE, HSI, FBI and BORDER PATROL roughing up everybody that they come in contact with. Who are these people? What kind of person does this? I'll tell you, the SS and Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany. I hope their around when the "Corruption Trials" begin.
Jan 6ers pardoned? Clearly some have had no training/experience. Just a way for them to play “soldier” and hurt others…
You don't need training to rough people up and meet a quota!
True, that’s probably why they are picked. Don’t know the rules… who cares?
Let’s hope we don’t start a world war between times!
They are not trained agents they are J6 pardoned folks who now have a job and they are nasty
There is a great documentary called "Ordinary Men". It's quite similar to what's going on now with the current goons were dealing with.
Could be. They’re DJT’s personal hit squad.
They probably had 78 million applicants.
I think so too. Some are in ordinary cars with ordinary clothes, almost like bounty hunters.
This is Hitler’s brown shirts and SS, and Russia’s FSB secret agents. What is are strategy. I’d say either get Trump and Congress to rescind mask wearing, and if they won’t pull them off. This is domestic intimidation and terror tactics plain and simple. We the people must find a way to stop this because NO ONE IS SAFE.
How do you know that or is it just speculative? Making things up helps nothing and no one.
I'm sure it's speculative. You don't need training to rough people up and meet a quota!
A lot of think the same thing. There is one video of an ICE agent pointing a gun at some random person just driving down the street. The way he held the gun is more conducive to being a gang member than a trained officer. Seems this guy spent too much time watching 1970’s drug movies.

It is about sheer naked power.

So, if I’m understanding, the face masks are actually illegal based on that legislation?
It’s a proposal with an implied threat of investigation. It would outlaw all this mask wearing during law enforcement activities. Just a framework for people to think about.
Oh ok, I understand Brendan. Thank you!
Yes. That was my intention. If you’re upholding the law, there should be no need to hide your face.
Members of Congress from both parties!
What's the official name of this act? I tried to look it up, but wasn't able to find it. I also asked ChatGPT if there was such a bill going through Congress, but it couldn't find it. Thanks.
I know most are thinking the same as me.
THESE MEN are Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters. And on and on. They have been offered that $40,000. Bonus that we know is in the big awful bill.

Where did you get that info? I know that a lot of these dudes are cowardly alt right posers, but Idk about that part.
There is no proof. It is speculation. I have thought this myself as it would make sense. But without proof...
I think you were replying to someone else actually, but there are some dudes out there that are just posers. You often have to seek out the proof. In today's Amerikkka especially.
Where are you getting your info? Let's not spread rumors. I would need to see proof of this.
Of what? That a lot of these clowns are posing as ICE? It is 100% true. Some are legit ICE officers, of course but even THEY shouldn't be wearing masks.

No badges, no warrants, no authorization. They RAN away, like the scared little b*tches they really are when people stood up to them. Which I wish more people would do!!
I’m not well informed about law enforcement but isn’t it possible for police officers to approach these bad actors? Can police enforce law?
This is an excellent question. WHERE are the local police?? They should be notified about the "ICE Agents" in question. The very sus behaving ones for sure.
They should also be pissed off that the Feds are completely disregarding them as well.
That's not proof. A video you saw. This is not helpful.
You're comical. I've seen tons of J6 video. Was that not proof? What is quantifiable proof in your world?
Lol, that they are what you claim. If you have no proof, you are just contributing to the bullshit of rumors and conspiracy. No thank you.
Trumpeter Troll? Anyone who won't acknowledge that J6 footage is legit is a deranged Trumpeter.
So please answer the question, "What is quantifiable proof to you?"
I have worked for both Immigration aka ICE and the FBI. Both of those require strict standards to get selected, including background screening and 8-9 training on proper procedures. From experience, these are NOT proper procedures being used.
Not in Trumplandia. They don't care.
It's all speculation. Besides, their bad people whoever they are!!!
You don't need just J6'ers to do this kind of work, just watch the documentary "Ordinary Men" and you will see what I mean.
Is that true? How do you know they are J sixers? I hate this crazy speculation based on nothing.
SOME of these guys are alt right haters! They are not real authorized ICE agents. When people are emboldened to hate with no repercussions, this is what happens.
It's all speculation. Besides, their bad people whoever they are!!!
They are the outside militia that has been created by Trump in the Republicans
They wear masks because they aren’t official federal or state agents. Their equipment and dress aren’t uniform. No identification. Most wear Nike’s with skinny jeans. They’re here for one reason, to intimidate the American public. They are Trump’s version of the ‘Brown Shirts’.
Exactly the same version of the brown shirts a fascism
I am incensed by the use of masks and the lack of identification by so-called federal agents. This is kidnapping. We are not a police state!
It appears we are.
We are now.
Adam thank you. Your message is so accurate. We soon will not recognize our country.
I don’t right now.
History will show that some of these agents are not agents in some of the videos that I’ve noticed. Their actions are not trained law-enforcement in the case of the father of three Marines being beaten, I observed one obese man with a metal bar in his hand, which I doubt is Standard issue

I'm sorry Barbara for your worry! I can understand it! I hope we do have a way to stop SOON what is happening!!
Hi, Barbara, Maybe reaching out to ACLU for your class action idea, or Democracy Docket, or Democracy Forward, Amnesty International..... I too am trying to think of how to help in this horrific situation so am eager to share and learn about paths/ resources.
https://frost.house.gov/media/press-releases/maxwell-frost-introduces-legislation-to-expose-human-rights-abuses-in-immigration-detention-system_sudem-act explains a bill proposed last week in the US House of Representatives to stop this.
You can certainly use 5 calls app https://5calls.org/ (free download onto your phone) to call to support this bill
write letters to the editor
organize local protests to pressure your reps you named and raise awareness visit their offices, bring a group circulate a petition
May we stop this as soon as possible and prayers for the safety of your family.
thanks Laura for the good links.... I submitted this to Democracy Docket and to ACLU who I support.... I will follow up with your suggestions. Barb

Don’t hold your breath!
Welcome to the Fourth Reich. 🙄
Exactly - and I personallly am so tired of politicians' lip service. They all complain about whats going on but basically do nothing but solicit for more donations and write 'angry' letters to 47.
Yes! I hate that my only choice is to vote Democrat. They have let us down sooooo much!
They are spineless, toothless and are just waiting for the mid-terms when they will get control of Congress.
A HUGE assumption to make in this current climate.
Exactly!

Great way to piss off our warfighters. Unlike many of these goons, they're well versed in warfare. These guys are really, really asking for it.
I saw all that that Rachel presents
She’s always on top of it
I do believe there are nefarious players in these “ICE” operations. I saw one pic of masked men (guns visible) in jeans and plaid flannel shirts. I’m pretty sure that’s not the new uniforms of any kind of law enforcement agency. Come on now, does the orange man-baby think we’re too stupid to notice that, really?
Why would he care? These are likely contract workers.
The scariest part of this to me is that anyone can dress up like these ice agents with masks. What is to keeping people from dressing this way and kidnapping and trafficking young people?
