Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

    “collateral arrests”= unconstitutional and kidnapping.

    If ICE is meeting resistance even in a place like Westbury, then at least something is going right.

    I watched most of the video clip. The agents all look kinda perplexed. As if they can’t understand that nearly any species alive will go nuts when you go for their offspring.

    Guys, I think ICE agents are aliens.

    Well, they're supposed to snatch innocent people, kids, break apart families, so I think it's granted they must be some kind of sadistic psychopaths.

    After that, the way they try to get around the illegality of what they're doing suggests they're also very, very, very dumb.

    Regardless of who caused the accident, they hit and run, right? That's insanely illegal.

    ICE really does seem like the new SS. As a European it's scary as fuck to watch the world's most powerful state turn fascist.

    So, Imma go back to my philosophy 101 argument structure days. Fill in the blank.

    Premise 1. Racists should never feel safe being racists. Premise 2. Nobody willingly becomes an ICE agent without being a racist. Conclusion: Therefore, ... ?

    Westbury: "in Latino-heavy New York suburbs."

    Ummmmmmmm.... Unless Westbury changed in the 6 months since I've been there, it's a really wealthy area. Not that Latinos can't be wealthy, but my dad lives there, I'm literally going there Sunday. I wouldn't exactly describe it as Latino-heavy, unless you aim to describe the entirety of Long Island as Latino-heavy...

    I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.

    I wonder if ICE agents are paid a lot more than those people would be in other jobs having the same qualifications/experience etc, and that’s the reason why they stay on. Or some massive perks or something. Why isn’t there a mass exodus of ICE agents leaving? Or maybe there is and it’s not reported? There must be some attraction?

    Kristi Noem is a sorry excuse for a human being and that’s putting it nicely.

    Steven Miller is apparently having screaming meltdowns about how more and more and more “immigrants” must be arrested/deported. Miller is likely the person who is actually our acting president right now with Trump as a chaotic front to keep people distracted from this.

    Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has far too much power. He is HitlerPig's Wormtail Wormtongue, whispering poison in his ear. He's hidden in the shadows for far too long like the creepy lizard he is. It's time to focus on him, assign his atrocities to him, and start attacking him. He needs to be run out of the administration and the government.

    Edit: Sorry, got my fantasy bad guys mixed up.

    Not suprising, they already did a hit and run on a cyclist and pedestrian in LA.
