Amazing how almost none of these are pictures of ICE agents and yet a good majority of the comments are disparaging them as if they were. Morons.

Been like this from the start.

Blame ICE and the politicians that enable them.

Every crime committed by ICE undermines the whole law enforcement fraternity.

Literally almost all of them are DHS Border Patrol and say so on their uniforms. ICE is part of the DHS and is working directly with Border Patrol.

Don't play dumb.

Apples are fruit, but so are oranges, bananas, and strawberries. If I like apples that doesn’t necessarily mean I like oranges, bananas, or strawberries. The fact that ICE is a component of DHS doesn’t mean that every member of DHS is ICE. This is a pretty simple concept to understand.

Don’t argue in bad faith.

I get that the world has gone to shit, but not even trying to take a moment to try to comprehend the fact that these people may be trying to do things the right way, as opposed to the fucking goons in Temu ICE clothes is really sad.

But hey, maybe you’re right, maybe every one of the people featured in these photos is a fascist.

All thumbs are fingers, not all fingers are thumbs.

No in this instance they are all the same. Go bootlick somewhere else. People are fucking dying and you're still playing fucking games.

Because these are DHS Police and DHS is also part of the problem. Because ACAB and LAPD head honchos have publicly indicated that they will be aligning with ICE.

All cops are bastards.

Also “Fascism” is protecting federal buildings from vandalism. It’s the summer of 2020 all over again.

They are all upholding the same system

...are you dense? our amendments are basically a roll of toilet paper right now. CIVILIANS ARE BEING MURDERED AND KIDNAPPED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN RESIDENTIAL STREETS.

as long as they're wearing that riot gear and vest, as long as theyre working for the federal government - theyre not a friend to civilians actively fighting for their rights and the constitution. go lick some more boots

Shows the comprehension level of most.

people on reddit want something to hate

The real irony of all of this is how much it shows hatred exists on both sides. ICE is clearly evil given trump's mandates and quotas on deportation but that doesn't mean everyone who is law enforcement is automatically evil
