A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.
The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.
Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”
Alleged ICE agents. They haven’t identified themselves, can we really say they’re federal agents?
Watching this shit happen in America from afar really is a mind fuck. I continue to fail to understand how Trump can still have any support is beyond me. The facism is just so god damn blatant at this point
Racism. The answer is racism. His white supremacist supporters love watching masked secret police beat the shit out of brown people. Then they’ll blame the next closest person when the food stops being produced and the farm food all rots on the vine
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that resonated with me “Stop pretending your racism is patriotism”
It reminded me of something an African American woman said to me during college more than 20 years ago “I always watch out for people that love to fly the American flag because you never know what that really means.”
Well 20 years ago nationalism in the US was at seemingly an all time high. It was hat dressed up as patriotism
And beyond racism it is happening in blue cities.
His supporters are primed to think that cities are dangerous places already, and that a city led by liberals is in shambles, and that all the people living there are lawless liberals that deserve punishment.
They are cheering about this because they see it as sending their troops to go hurt others. Whether those people are other because of their race, their religion, their gender, their sexuality, or their political beliefs.
And when these same people find out that something about them or a loved one makes them other they will act shocked. They will protest that they aren’t an other they are in the in-group.
And then they will learn the true nature of fascism. The in-group is constantly shrinking, because there must always be an other to blame. And they will learn that lesson too late.
This is eventually going to result in a new Black Panther or Guardian Angel group like the 60s/70s.
Will be interesting to see these masked pieces of shit face some actual competition brandishing fucking rifles.
Yup, then martial law and suspended elections. It’s almost like their plans are publicly available.
We’ll hold our own elections, with blackjack and hookers
Las Panteras Negras
How about Las Masqueras Negras. El Bloc Negro.
¿Es ese “black bloc” en español?
I’m surprised at the general lack of references to black bloc in these times.
No se. Traducía palabra por cada uno. Puede ser, como dijiste, nadie está hablando sobre el black block en estos días
Yeah. It’s very surprising considering how relevant black bloc is to the current circumstances. Seems like something protestors need to be aware of an practice for safety and solidarity.
Hey, if ICE is using those tactics, we should, too!
Maybe the citizens with guns need to show up when kidnappings are going down… Might change the new ICE employees minds.
Will probably just escalate even more.
Ironically, the guy who ran the Guardian Angels is now the Republican candidate for NYC Mayor…
The guardian angels are just different pieces of shit
Maybe they’ll use the rifles?
Surely the don’t tread on me people are fuming and about to patrol the streets to keep their communities safe, right?
Don’t Tread on me people are perfectly fine with other people getting tread on.
ICE isn’t going to their communities
I’ve only heard the “don’t tread on me” weirdos sing the cell block tango. “they had it coming, they only had themselves to blame.”
"“Better to be judged by 12 than to be kidnapped and dragged to a death camp by as few as 2!”

Did the new season drop yet !?
Not yet, October 29th. I’m looking forward to it! The songs were surprisingly good.
The songs are pretty good! Most of the Helluva Boss songs are decent, but after having heard them dozens of times each… some of them just start sounding like shit tbh. There were only 1 or 2 Hazbin songs I actively found a bit annoying.
No. December, probably.
October 29th, last I heard.
- unless you’re brown or darker.
You made the classic mistake of forgetting the footnote, silly! See, now it all makes sense!
Sure, but that only counts if you have due process, and if people are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.
But if you don’t get your day in court, you can’t do anything about this.
Only worth that the people defend
Problem is there will be plenty of USAians still saying “this is what I voted for”.
Right up until their door gets kicked in.
If they don’t identify themselves, they are kidnappers and
SECOND AMENDMENT.
I see the 5th and 14th above… as a non American, can someone post the Second Amendment and then I’ll be able to post all three amendments to thousands of posts. And feel smug about it.
Seriously, these need to be constantly posted in every single thread where it’s required
2nd amendment is the right to bear arms.
that is another reason why they wear masks, what they do is clearly illegal. they only get away with it because the goverment is run by crooks (but who still haven’t had enough time to change every law so instead they need to use masked bandits).
It’ll keep happening until we all show up with baseball bats.
'Muricans should have more than enough guns. Where are they now? Hiding like rats, waiting for the Nazis to fully take over?
Organized federal financed paramilitary units with a hierarchy and a support structure and a multi-billion dollar PR budget are going to outperform random disconnected vigilantes who are too afraid to so much as wave at one another.
This is the same problem the Spanish Anarchists had against Franco. Its the problem German and Italian Communists had against the Fascist/Monarchist alliance. It’s the problem the French Resistance had against the Nazi occupation and the Hamas / Hezbollah resistance has had against the IDF.
Simply owning a firearm isn’t enough. You need a community of like-minded people operating in concert towards a recognized goal. That’s the difference between the Vietcong and Ruby Ridge. That’s what separates successful insurgencies from “lone wolf waterboarded to death in Gitmo blacksite”.
Joining the Nazis.
Blue states have encouraged disarming while the red are stockpiling. Wonder who ICE are targeting…
The ones with guns are mostly just cheering them on from the sidelines
That’s because the majority of them are fascists. What happened to American exceptionalism? It never existed. it’s a nation of soft wanna be humans disguised as capitalists.
many of us have mental illnesses that would put us or others in danger if we had a gun. trust me, i believe in arming ourselves, especially minorities, but what if one day i have no impulse control and shoot myself? im at a loss.
The vast majority of the gun freaks are on their side.
Not in Connecticut. That’s the point.
Imagine, I got a 7 day ban on Reddit for saying it would be funny if someone stole an ICE dick’s car and left him standing there with his little mask.
These guys deserve so much worse than being stranded like that. And Reddit is ri-god-damn-diculous.
We should bring back tarring and feathering.
Remember in 2019 when Hong Kong protestors called the US for help?
Yeah… about that… 👀
(I saw the image and I immediately thought of Hong Kong)
The day someone actually kills ICE-Nazis is the day i will send financial support to muricans.
Dont you guys have the ENTIRE amendment against this shit? Wear a strap, conceal carry and if somebody tries to literally kidnap you, just protect yourself.
I imagine for most, outside of a larger organised effort, the calculus is fairly simple. ICE agents are likely “itching” for someone to reach for a piece, for an excuse to shoot an “illegal”. And it’s not like law enforcement’s going to show up acting all reasonable to a scene with dead ICE agents too. Anyone shooting an ICE agent would get plastered all over FOX not as a defender of individual rights, but as a case in point for the propaganda machine.
Resisting is an almost certain death warrant. Not resisting you maintain ‘hope’ that reasonable minds will win out in the end / that you’ll only be locked up for a short time.
You are right in your assessment, but unfortunately, if nobody starts with active defense, it will only get worse and more “accepted” by society. That is how indoctrination is done, in small steps, “checking the water” for whats accepted by the masses and whats not, slowly pushing more and more into the extremes.
Well Harris wasn’t progressive enough for me so this is okay so we can show the democrats we’re sick of them.
Yeah but she supports genocide or something.
If 4 years of bullshit leads to a stronger opposition party that can learn from this and make sure it never happens again, great. That’s admittedly a big bet against heavy odds but one can hope.
People forget this is the second time trump has been president. The Democrats had 4 years to prepare to prevent what we’re currently living with. And they came up with a plan, they chose a doddering senile old man as their candidate then when it became obvious that he was a doddering senile old man they replaced him midstream with his deeply flawed and uncharismatic VP. And she lost, wow, I’m shocked.
So you’re not worried about the people who will die because Trump is in power?

There’s very little I can do about it now. If i.could go back and change it I would. I can’t, so I’m hoping the DNC learns from this. I’m not holding my breath. I’m 90% convinced they’re controlled opposition and have been actively working towards this.
So you’re not, I got it.
I don’t get why they try and weasel around it. Just own it, tankies.
We aren’t the ones who could have simple not funded ICE.
And so, you’re fine with what’s happening under Trump. Yes, we get it.
Just own that, and stop weasling.
Anyone have a link to the video? Trying to save all of these since they tend to disappear
That only has screenshots and a link to Instagram which wants me to sign in 😢
Ty! Downloaded
Authoritarian hell…
Oh so we’re using lethal force (tasers) on suspected illegal immigrants now?
*has ancestors that hauled ass all the way from Europe, beats latin americans because immigrant"
