      A lot of them don’t wear radios. If they get separated they’re screwed.

      If ICE agents started disappearing you’d get a lot fewer volunteers. Bovino’s outside in range of so many buildings pretty often. Would just take a dedicated few to send a message.

      What they want for their civil war is a character they can point to as a central villain to polarize “the enemy” around; if agents get picked off and no one gets caught, they don’t have the character they need for the story they want to tell.

      And honestly, if you’re against what I’m saying, consider that the only way the cops will arrest the murderers from this afternoon is if they fear retribution. Have the cops arrest those ice agents for the “safety” of those ice agents.

      Good luck

          I’m frankly shocked there aren’t more agents getting frostbite mixed with piss. Couldn’t think of a more appropriate fate than a pedo protection force agent losing their trigger finger to a piss balloon.

          The worst part about it has to be the signing bonus scheme.

          As I understand it, they get the sum right away, probably blow it all on lifting their trucks and stupid shit, and then they’re committed for 5 years. For every year they break contract early they owe 10k, so even if they have a change of heart, they’re stuck in hell.

          Campers have small windows and malleable exteriors. It’d be a shame if someone boarded up the door and then something happened to the camper.

            The gennys on those things could be faulty and fill the thing with CO.

            Hoooking them up and dragging them to the middle of nowhere would be better though.

      trumps was going to “incite inssurection act” regardless of outcome, hes just buying time so his dumb supporters dont suddenly joinag against them. As if midterms are going to save the dems anyways, they already sided with the gop on many things, and NEWSOM IS UNLIKELY TO SHAKE UP THE STATUS quo as well.

      I think that at this point most americans see ICE agents and think: about time these heroes do something. Otherwise they just straight up wouldn’t exist.
