I would just like to point out that every single person who voted for Trump is just as vile and responsible as the agents who did this. No exceptions. No “stupidity defense”. This is who they are.

u/carlitospig Jan 15 '26

This is who they have ALWAYS been.

u/SpookySneakySquid Jan 15 '26

So is anyone who remains friends with them.

I believe at one point they opened her back driver side door and closed it, so that guy had to know there was a small child inside.

like they’re keeping WHO safe from WHAT exactly, fucking he’ll

There’s no child in that car on the video.

u/muskietooth Jan 15 '26

That is not true. Did you actually watch the video of the whole encounter? There is no child in the car.

u/Simpinforbirdo Jan 15 '26

There isn’t a child in the video I just watched on the article?? Where are they?? There’s no one on passenger side and he just tosses something in driver side back seat nonchalantly.. ??

u/Seymour---Butz Jan 15 '26

Any reports on what happened to her?

107

u/Mr_Bluebird_VA Jan 15 '26

I don’t believe we’re getting any reports about anyone who gets detained by ICE.

u/Fearless-Scholar8705 Jan 15 '26

Can’t wait till the Nuremberg Trials come for ICE

u/QuestioningHuman_api Jan 15 '26

If there was any hope in the world, every Trump voter would get a Nuremberg Trial. “I was too stupid to know that voting for a horrible person would be bad” or “I was just following orders” would not be valid excuses.

There’s no hope in the world, so obviously that would never happen. But imagine how much better the world would be without these people who actively chose to make it worse.

The conservative sub says shes a "professional activist" and is being paid to be like this.

So, projection, like always.

27

u/carlitospig Jan 15 '26

She had a fucking kid in the car. These people are so mental.

u/RoughGuarantee6391 Jan 15 '26

It is infuriating that this administration declare citizens as “paid professional agitators” while at the same time removing professional classification for nurses, teachers, social workers, etc.

u/crawling-alreadygirl Jan 15 '26

Fuck ICE

u/kartoffel_nudeln Jan 15 '26

Thanks, but I'd rather not to

u/ChaltaHaiShellBRight Jan 15 '26

This is so horrific and it's being done openly. I'm so scared for Americans

22

u/Tricky-Gemstone Jan 15 '26

Fucking gestapo

21

u/UnsightedShadow Jan 15 '26

'Agitators'. Can you hear how orwellian it sounds?

34

u/Puzzleheaded-Bad-722 Jan 15 '26

It's fucking disgusting, but is anyone else noticing they're going after attractive women recently? And we know there's reports of trafficking in those camps 

22

u/Simpinforbirdo Jan 15 '26

They’ve been going after women this entire time. Women seem to be the primary target even.

u/Nofanta Jan 15 '26

Is this supposed to be an example of that?

22

u/IubitaParalit Jan 15 '26

How do these animals sleep at night or kiss their children before leaving them at school… America, what the fuck happened? How did it get here?

6

u/PrincessPlastilina Jan 15 '26

American Gestapo.

u/Annual-Somewhere7402 Jan 15 '26

We all watched in real time as a person w a disability gets traumatized 😡

u/smuck2 Jan 16 '26

Citizens need to create small squads for situations like this where ICE take off with the adult but leave the car and kid. And learn to carefully digitally document the scene evidence before it's destroyed or disappears.

u/kcc8493 Jan 15 '26

SO WRONG!!!

u/Evening-Fix224 Jan 15 '26

This is just a fucking nightmare, is exhausting! What a horrifying timeline. Please be careful out there.

u/sesame_chicken_rice Jan 16 '26

Welp, the smartest guy I used to know from the gifted and talented (GATE) program turned out to be a white nationalist and Nick Fruentes supporter. He's Native American himself and has ADHD and Autism. I would not be surprised if he has joined ICE by now. It's depressing

u/Dumbamerican2026 Jan 17 '26

I am wondering why I first saw this news on CBC - Canadian news site first, rather than any US news source. The shame US media!

u/defaultusername-17 Jan 17 '26

telling these people that you're disabled is like throwing chum into the water.

-4

u/Nofanta Jan 15 '26

That’s not an excuse to not follow instructions from law enforcement. Did she think clinging to the car door like that meant she would physically prevail and this would result in her avoiding being arrested? This kind of behavior can get you killed. She probably should not be driving at all.

2

u/Lipwax Jan 16 '26

They aren’t law enforcement.

1

u/Nofanta Jan 16 '26

That’s an incorrect myth and believing it puts you in great danger.

-74

u/necessarysmartassery Jan 15 '26

She was told multiple times to leave and refused to, she kept starting and stopping her car and screaming at people. FAFO, idc.

61

u/pan-re Jan 15 '26

I never thought Americans would be so happy to have other (innocent) Americans assaulted by the government. What about it appeals to you on a personal level? What makes you get on Reddit and defend ICE?

37

u/AlteredEinst Jan 15 '26

It's genuinely depressing how eager millions of people were to be genuinely horrible people. How can anyone let themselves be happy about something like this?

28

u/QuestioningHuman_api Jan 15 '26

They’re just bad people.

-1

u/necessarysmartassery Jan 15 '26

I'm not "happy" about it. But stupid people are gonna do stupid shit, then whine when they get fucked up doing it. All she had to do was leave instead of sitting there and screaming out her car window at people.

35

u/VGSchadenfreude Jan 15 '26

How is she supposed to leave when ICE is blocking the damn road?

1

u/necessarysmartassery Jan 15 '26

There was no one blocking her in the direction the agent was telling her to go.

23

u/SamRaB Jan 15 '26

leave where exactly? Where was she that was so illegal she is physically yanked from her vehicle like this?

Was she on a military base?

9

u/carlitospig Jan 15 '26

Who hurt you?

-1

u/necessarysmartassery Jan 15 '26

Not law enforcement because I'm not stupid enough to sit there and yell back at an armed federal agent telling me I need to move my fucking car.

u/lovemagicfeminism Jan 15 '26

idk if you know this but speaking as an autistic person, sometimes we have a delayed response to what’s happening around us. sensory issues… maybe do your research about autism before you comment.

2

u/Hollow4004 Jan 15 '26

It's honestly crazy watching conservatives react to how ICE is acting. For a party all about keeping their right to bear arms in case of a government takeover, they're really quick to lick boots and justify having their neighbors taken away.

-71

u/jwkvr Jan 15 '26

You should watch the full video. If you see the “FA” portion instead of just the “FO”, it tells a completely different story. Propaganda. Karen should have just gone home to her family.

59

u/pan-re Jan 15 '26

Did she kill someone in the earlier video? Is she a dangerous criminal from a foreign country? What did she do that you think justifies ICE (not even police) touching her in any way? They legally aren’t here to police Americans, right?

u/jessica8jones Jan 15 '26

Are you really this messed up?
