Cumberland County, Maine Sheriff Kevin Joyce was horrified by the arrest of his recruit, and said the federal government is telling a different story of what’s really happening on the ground.

You can’t look any more like ISIS or similar terrorists than these ICE hicks look in these photos.

I know ACAB institutionally, but these people will be the best legal cases for the resistance.

Just a reminder, Him being an officer did not over-rule the fact that he was black. Officers of color will be treated just like people of color. And remember, ICE doesn’t think people of color are people.
There are a lot of people in masks who currently “talk with funny accents”, and they will be surprised in a short while by how they will be treated.

If Corrections Officers are unacceptable to ICE, there’s a lot of self-loathing happening. Or perhaps payback? 🤔

And people still wonder why there’s zero trust in law enforcement.

“The sheriff excoriated the agents for their conduct, saying the arrest had changed his mind about the federal government’s immigration actions.
“We’re being told one story, which is totally different than what’s occurring or what occurred [Wednesday] night,” Joyce said, noting that the recruit had passed the county’s application process to qualify as a corrections employee, and was cleared to work in the U.S. until April 2029.
“In fact, he was squeaky clean. Squeaky clean,” Joyce [said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS7blsQ28Y4). “I guess if you’re not the card carrying, you know, U.S. citizen, then you must be illegal, because that’s what they told me is he’s illegal, and he’s definitely not a criminal. So what part of him is illegal? I don’t know.”
”
Well, I guess more people are waking up to the fact that ICE is not, in fact, rounding up criminals or even “illegals” (though I would posit that existing in the USA without perfect paperwork is not in fact a crime and folks who may be various sorts of undocumented or in the process of getting visas or renewals are not at all “illegal”)
“Mere undocumented presence in the United States alone, however, in the absence of a previous removal order and unauthorized reentry,is not a crime under federal law.”

Oh, I was waiting for some details to come out on this.
This is exactly why they ended the temporary protective status for Somalians because now they can go after “darker” people.
You can fully expect that swing districts during the midterms will have an ice present and detain people because they look Somalian.
This should terrify anybody with a shade of skin that’s slightly darker than Trump‘s

Fuck ICE, fuck Noem, fuck Trump, and fuck everyone who voted for this.

Once again ICE are lying to justify their extreme use of force against other law enforcement.

The secret police have zero accountability to the law while claiming they are enforcing it.
This entire federal administration is trash, implemented by one criminal that a cult serves.

Say what you will, at least ICE are redefining the B in ACAB.
Imagine you get racially profiled and violently attacked by a supposed coworker and your boss says ‘whoa, must be a misunderstanding, we gotta support each other guys!’

Imagine his surprise when he found out that he wasn’t one of the good ones and that ICE is breaking the law with impunity.

So arrest the ICE agents! Why hasn’t the sheriff tracked any ICE that were in the area and arrested them for kidnapping?

I’m sure ICE will be strapping on their white hoods soon. It really wouldn’t surprise me. Nothing surprises me. Fuck this pos administration.

So there’s no rhyme or reason. They aren’t even trying to hide it. They are a full-on white supremest gestapo.

What the ACTUAL fuck. This is not okay. None of this is okay.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Local law enforcement has been supporting ICE this whole time. And now that this happens some of them are “rethinking” their support. The same thing is happening with conservative minorities and poor conservatives on government aid. They are flabbergasted.

Stop calling them agents. They are thugs, ICE thugs.

I wish the sheriff would just say “white” instead of “card-carrying American citizen” or whatever the exact wording was. It’s pretty clear that’s what he means or wants to say.

So, are these state and local law enforcement going to finally realize that they are not special and will be treated just like everyone else? When they realize that, will they stay to stand up to authoritarianism?

the addition of “violently” is superfluous here
