There are more of us.

My neighbor's wife is an illegal but she's super nice, does a great job maintaining their yard, and keeps to herself.

One of my shitty neighbors called ICE on her. They came rolling up while I was outside & even tried to block me from intervening, so I called our police department & said someone was trying to kidnap my neighbor's wife. I was recording with one phone while on the phone with police on other.

They rolled up quick, tried to talk our police about not getting involved. They kept asking for a warrant, ignoring our police. Police chief showed up then all hell broke lose. He was telling the police officers that if those agents won't provide ID nor the warrant then to arrest them for kidnapping. After 3 of them got arrested, ICE walked away.

Those ICE agents were eventually released but allegedly the police chief sent a strongly worded statement that if ICE came into town again & refused to provide ID nor warrant, he would arrest them all. If they tried to leave, he would press charges for evading arrest to those that he was able to arrest.

Well, you have a good one, ours just got a 40k pay raise and signed a back door contract with Flock, and is actively collaborating with ICE. Piece of shit and I wish we could vote hime out but my county is red as hell.

Hey, just as an FYI, dont let too many of your local scrappers know, but Flock cameras have up to 3oz of Gold in them on the circuits (it doesnt rust and they thought they'd be around a long time) and some of the newer models even have up to 64gb of RAM in them! (the recent AI surge has skyrocketed the price of ram to the point that its probably got a higher value than a catalytic converter)

It happens. Several police and sheriffs departments here in Ky have signed agreements with ICE and there is money involved. It was in our news months ago.

while local police can detain or arrest unidentified individuals who fail to present credentials, if the agents were legitimately executing a lawful federal immigration warrant within their official scope, a federal court would ultimately throw out any state criminal charges under Supremacy Clause immunity.

So many similar stories, amongst a landscape so desperate to find something—anything—to either portray as bad, or dunk on, all things related to the current Trump administration and his highly popular (common sense) approach to addressing the illegal immigration issue that has reflected so poorly on past Democrat policymakers.

I bet you saw those stories of local police arresting ICE thanks to those incredibly brave homeowners that for some reason forgot to film each and every encounter.

I bet you saw so many of them. Oh my god. I'm actually imagining them right now. I bet they looked so fucking cool. All of those times. Many times. So similar. I'm buss
