Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

    My neck and back would hurt. I thought the NKVD/RSHA clowns were all about AmeriKa First, at least drive an Amerikan built vehicle.

      Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.

        Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig’s Wormtail Wormtongue, whispering poison in his ear. He’s hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It’s time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.

        Edit: Sorry, got my fantasy bad guys mixed up.

    If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.

    Their ‘collateral arrests’ game is going to get the plain clothed ICE agents killed. Don’t blame the public when it happens. Blame the Border Czar.

      They start that in the wrong areas and being scared of getting hit but watterbottles and rocks will be the least of their worries.

    If I lived in a country where people cum on their weapons, and where I was afraid of school shootings and kidnappings; I would shoot on sight / beat to mush, any masked person near a school that isn’t identifying themselves…

      Where did you read that people in the US cum on their weapons? I have no doubt you can find porn relating to that, but it isn’t likely to be commonplace. For one thing, it’s going to lead to jams…

      Well, they are succeeding in making me fearful enough to feel I need a gun. Doubt I’ll get one. Too many mental health concerns in the house. But this shit will come to a head and it’ll be what it is, just with more death and violence.

          I’m taking action in unarmed ways. Floated the idea of a gun past my wife and she was vehemently against it. Sometimes she just needs to sit with an idea for a bit so she might come around. Ironically she has more experience with a pistol than me. I’ve basically only fired an M-16.

          We’ll see what happens today. Once the government starts shooting people, or the civilian Nazis do, I think the die is cast. I think the necessity will be clear. But it might be too late at that point.
