  1. Basically every ICE agent is committing crimes in the field.

    They hide their identity to avoid prosecution.

  2. As they should. The get out of jail free cards that prosecutors hand out to law enforcement is absurd. They aren’t prosecuted criminally, immunity protects them civily, and it only emboldened them.

    Prosecute. Remove their immunity. Sue.

  3. Alternate title: “Democrats says they will hold accountable troops who commit crimes at Trump’s direction”.

  4. Yes this is the way. The Military is subordinate to the People.

  6. What do other countries do with their terror squads when they claw the government back from a fascist dictatorship? It doesn’t seem like probation or a fine will be enough to discourage the fascists from doing this all over again.

    Seems like there should be a more permanent solution to send a message to these folks that we’re sick of their crap. Some sort of trial with serious consequences.

  7. Also make clear that everyone will be watching, keeping notes, and remembering who broke their oaths. And of course, learn from the weak points and reinforce it when the time comes again.

  8. SCOTUS will nullify the charges by legitimizing the Nazi defense that “I was only following orders”.

  9. Wonderful. What support and protection is JB offering to your statistically powerless and vulnerable troop who rightly disobeys an unlawful order? It’d be nice to hear something about that.

  10. Strip them of their rank and benefits. Let them have fun applying in this job market. 

  11. This is the sort of stand we need to see from State elected officials. Stand up to defend your State’s residents against Trump’s threats to our liberty or make way for those who will.

  13. How is this even a question? It shouldn’t be a threat. It should be the expected outcome.

  14. Both now and in the future.

    I want to see Democrats promising special trials to identify all ICE and military members who committed civil rights violations against those in America, citizens or otherwise.

    Those following illegal orders need to be put behind bars.

  15. The shit will really and truly hit the fan if any one of the national guard ever shoots at someone, even if they being harassed and threatened themselves. The entire country will go ballistic (no pun intended).

  16. They better be taking all the names right now so there can be a Nuremberg style reckoning.

  17. Why they wearing masks if they are proud about their work. 

  18. Yeah I think it’s really important that we define “troops”. This headline very much implies military and let’s not lump these mass hire federal employees with folks that have actually made the choice to serve. Ice agent job postings are all over my area. They are paying these punks the same as a fast food job to terrorize people all in the name of border security. Our founding fathers had a lot to say on this exact subject

  19. Troop deployment is one step closer to the declaration of Marshal Law to cancel the 2026 election.

  20. Good good good good good.

    Every single National Guardsman deployed against the American people; every single prospective ICE recruit; every single racist vigilante should be seeing messages telling them they will go to prison if/when they commit crimes for Trump. Fuck qualified immunity and fuck “I was only following orders”; you will rot.

  21. Well hopefully company grade officers will have the knowledge and willpower to say no, and that the senior NCOs will follow suit. They’re our final line of defense, and it is up to them not pass the orders to their subordinates should they be illegal.

  23. This shouldnt be a “threat” this should be “what happens”

  24. Follow through on it. It doesn’t mean a thing until there are actual consequences. 

    One the era of Trump, Democrats have been big talkers but have failed to deliver on consequences. 

  26. You clowns disregarding peoples rights expressly given in the constitution and local laws….Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone.
