Everybody should always call the cops if they ever see this anywhere at anytime. That's insane.
To help them shoot at you?
But this is America, always has been
It's 2025. America. You see these men on the street.
If you assume they are going to rob a bank dial 911.
If you assume they are going to lynch someone dial 911.
If you assume they are going to kidnap someone dial 911.
If you assume they are law enforcement then get your eyes checked. They aren't wearing any identifying uniform, no insignia, no badges.
If you assume they are impersonating law enforcement then dial 911 and get your eyes checked.
Definitely don’t call 911. That just gives them more backup. They look like terrorists in the streets. It’s actually illegal here to wear a mask over your face while demonstrating or armed so they are under stand your ground territory
If someone wearing a balaclava and civilian clothes grabs you, I'm pretty sure it's reasonable to stab them.
There's bound to actually be free candy in one of those damn unmarked vans.
Is that like Murphy's razor?
Anything that can be true is likely to be true at least once, and at the worst possible moment?
Just bad advice we give all middle schoolers. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
Looks like one of those nazi rallies. They're all white too. Lmao its so obvious.
They look like random Grand Theft Auto enemies that you wipe out by the dozen.
They know what they’re doing is wrong. And outside the law
They know if they are identified they will be dealt with. Outside the law.
That's a lynching posse, and not a gathering of lawn enforcement officers.
Take the mask off “patriot”
No badges, no name tags, no exposed faces… let’s see “ ICE “ try this in a state with strong self defense laws.
People should call and report suspicious armed men about to rob or do something nefarious. Get the locals all twisted up with reports. Get them scared then sick them on the federallies.
Someone should dress up like ICE themselves, and disappear people like this. When they insist they're citizens, just call their documents fake and usher them into waiting vans at gunpoint. That's the only way this madness will end. It's only when the lives of ICE agents themselves are at risk from this that thing have a hope of changing.
They totally don't look like a mafia
These guys look like they're about to rob a bank.
Its sad really. They think this makes them good Americans, and probably satisfies their personal insecurities. You can tell by their stance they feel pretty powerful, but they look like clowns, and hiding their face makes it pretty empty, like kids playing sheriff.
Nah, I imagine bank robbers as classy. These thugs look like the "gang members" they're so desperately scared of. They look like they're hiding weapons in their pockets to cause public terror. They look like they're about to jump me for being in their territory and mug me of all my belongings. They make me feel like I should avoid walking down whatever street they're holding up.
These are straight up criminals, looking like they're about to commit crime.
Those masks and them carrying weapons is an automatic felony in my jurisdiction and any shop owner pleading stand your ground would be praised by the community. They don’t like immigrants here, but they hate the federal government even more.

This is nightmare fuel
These are criminals. There's nothing to indicate that they are any type of law enforcement.
Reminds me of the SS in many ways
they are terrorists, any common sense judicial system would consider it legal to shoot them in self defense
Fucking fascists
Just being honest. If someone in mask comes to my car, I'm pulling away. If you are caught by a wheel, then it's on you. Identify who you are.
They wouldn't hide their face if what they were doing wasn't shameful
Americans have tons of guns, why not use them against these fascist cunts? They’re not police, they refuse to identify themselves, they wear masks to not be identified, the kidnap men, women and children, it really doesn’t matter to them. They’re also racist because of racial profiling and they’ll send you off to a prison in El Salvador.
Theres probably a lot more they do, but the list above should be more than enough to arm yourselves against them.
how does no one shoot them
All the American "patriots" who spent their whole lives loudly insisting they'd do anything for their country ended up being cowardly garbage.
"Wait, you mean I'd have to put myself at RISK? That’s not easy, it’s actually really hard! Never mind that I’ve built my whole cultural identity on doing great things against great odds- how dare you suggest I do something hard? You’re a keyboard warrior!”
To them, historical revolutionaries and national heroes are just Disney characters without families, jobs, or dreams who never actually had anything to lose and whose victories were guaranteed.

ICE is a perfect name for these cold individuals
Six feet under, I hope.
Send this to your MAGA relatives with the caption "these guys good or bad?" and no additional context.
Seem to be all white, obviously good
can't wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.
it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses
Finally.. A socially acceptable place for my dog to take a dump when I'm out walking him

I am curious to see how many incidentscome out where there are of ACTUAL kidnappings that happen because some geniuses get the idea to just go grab some people and throw them in a van while dressing up like these ICE idiots.
You want to give gangs a free pass to grab random people or rivals off the street? Make your "official govt activity" look like gang activity.
It may already be happening in immigrant communities. What are their families going to do - report it to the cops?

Why do they look like that?
Because USA! USA! USA!
Not even remotely hyperbolic here, I 100% would assume they’re randos gang members or doing criminality attempting to kidnap then murder me, and I’d fight back accordingly. Not even a badge on a neck chain or belt clip jfc covered head to toe
Just the same as if a mugging becomes “get into the van” no you fucking shouldn’t because their goals are now no longer your property, but now your life
Never let the assailant take you to the secondary location.
Urban self defense classes have been teaching this since the 1970s, at least.
