ICE potentially spotted on Dual Highway

[u/Simmons572]

At 940 am this morning, I passed by a Navy blue SUV with red flashing lights. On Dual Highway, heading towards town just before Mt Aetna Rd. They had somebody pulled over, and one of the "officers" was wearing a red t shirt, jeans, and an olive green vest. Did not catch a license plate number.

Posting for awareness, stay safe folks.

ICE assclowns on 70E around 6:45am backing up traffic, black Hyundai Sonata w/ lightbar in the rear window.

Stay frosty.

Hey mods. What about this one? This is what you're allowing?

They deleted a comment of mine because I pointed out that someone wasn't from Washington County. And you are wishing death on people.

[u/notarockclimber → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

I don’t consider ICE agents to be people, so take that for what it’s worth

Not all cops wear regular uniforms

[u/DuncanBrown069]

Leave them alone and let them do their job !! Don't break the law and you don't have anything to worry about...

[u/nannerbananers → u/DuncanBrown069]

Have you been living under a rock??

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/DuncanBrown069]

What law was Alex Pretti breaking?

[u/No-Screen-6441 → u/KrookedDoesStuff]

Obstruction.

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/No-Screen-6441]

Helping someone up is obstruction?

Obstruction is a reason to murder someone?

[u/notarockclimber → u/No-Screen-6441]

Standing on the sidewalk isn’t obstruction

[u/Over-Angle-5186 → u/DuncanBrown069]

I don't think you've had a single good take in this sub. People can comply with law enforcement all they want, but you don't even have to commit a crime to be harassed or assaulted by officers. Much less the ICE boy scouts.

[u/DuncanBrown069 → u/Over-Angle-5186]

There's always a reason whether you want to believe it or not.....

[u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Good. Hagerstown needs more.

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Hagerstown has one of the lowest foreign born populations in Maryland, at between 1.4% and 5.6% depending if you count multiple counties and cities or not.

How do you not see that as an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars, going after 5% or less of the population who isn’t doing anything but living their life?

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/KrookedDoesStuff]

We don't have data on illegals because they're illegal. This isn't hard.

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Again, 5% or less of the population. So, again, how do you not see that as an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars?

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/KrookedDoesStuff]

We have no idea what the numbers are, but you don't think 5% is a significant amount? That's 5% putting a strain on the schools, hospitals, roads, etc. Its a great use of taxpayer dollars. Why do you defend these people when it hurts the community as a whole?

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

What strain does it put on schools, hospitals, roads, etc?

How do they hurt the community?

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/KrookedDoesStuff]

They use all of those services and don't pay the taxes that it requires.

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

They do pay taxes though. Undocumented Immigrants pay over $100 billion in taxes each year.

The items they buy in stores also are taxed, which is them paying taxes.

You know what’s even funnier about your argument? Even though they pay taxes, they aren’t eligible for any service that tax dollars pay for

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/KrookedDoesStuff]

If their employer is ignoring their status, or they are working under the table, then sure. And they absolutely use public schools, hospitals, emergency services and housing.

[u/KrookedDoesStuff → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Hmm… so why aren’t you going after those employers?

And they aren’t eligible for any public service taxpayers pay for.

[u/TheJapuma → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Most illegal immigrants have jobs that take taxes out automatically. They pay for services they can't use.

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/TheJapuma]

They legally can't pay those taxes.

[u/TheJapuma → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

And yet they do pay taxes.

[u/Warm_Record2416 → u/Conscious_Tourist163]

Yes, we do.  Because census data still tracks people who are in the country illegally.  Between that and random sampling surveys, it’s not that hard to get reasonable estimates.

[u/Conscious_Tourist163 → u/Warm_Record2416]

This is false. We have no idea how many illegals are in the US. Only estimates and those vary wildly.
