Eerily similar to the Kristallnacht.

Exhibit A:

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Reporting from the Pittsburgh ABC News affiliate WTAE.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
Federal agents stormed two Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant and Bar locations in the Pittsburgh area on Thursday, according to the restaurant.

Federal agents confirmed 16 people were detained between the restaurant's Cranberry Township and Gibsonia locations.

"During the execution of the search warrants, 16 individuals were encountered and found to be illegally present in the United States. These 16 individuals were taken into ICE custody and placed into immigration proceedings," a statement from ICE said.

Witnesses told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 the officers on scene would only identify themselves as police.

The ICE agents trashed the inside of the restaurant too. I saw this yesterday and I am glad someone posted it!

2. ICE Raid At Emiliano's Restaurants In PA

Jillian Pikora 08/10/2025 8:00 a.m.

Federal immigration agents stormed the Cranberry and Gibsonia Emiliano’s restaurants in what owners described as a “show of force” that “went far beyond anything reasonable or humane,” according to a statement shared on the restaurant’s Facebook page and GoFundMe.

The raid left the businesses “trashed” and employees “shattered,” the owners said ...

6. Cops have been doing this shit forever

Background checks and vetting don't mean shit if there is no accountability.

[newdeal2]

7. Yes I've seen more than one report of FBI or local authorities

Absolutely tearing up people’s homes. It’s literally a disaster zone after they leave. And in some (all?) cases it was done by “accident” they meant to go to a different house.

9. I looked at their FB. page

They didn't go into any detail about the raid or destruction but said the community has stepped up a lot.

10. I'm still in shock Pennsylvania went to the make-up splatered con-man

I really thought PA was better than that. Pittsburgh's a great town. I'm sorry to see ICE criminals looting businesses there.

20. Lived in PA over 80 years. Pittsburgh, Philly and sometimes Erie are blue. Rural is strictly red.

11. My hatred for these fucking assholes grows every day.

[speak easy]

15. It's exactly what NAZI brown shirts did to Jewish businesses.

[Initech]

29. Yup. I don't want to live in Nazi Germany! Or North Korea.

I want to live in the United States.

13. ICE are the fucking criminals.... NOT the immigrants....

Glad to see some of these posters on BlueSky forwarding this to some Dem leaders to make sure they see it. This is the correct way to spread this. (I think the video should be sent to every Republican piece of shit leaders too)

14. Local fuckheads are cheering for these gestapo raids

[Hotler]

16. When we take power again, we will remember. nt

[calimary]

17. Absolutely embarrassing.

And just plain ICKY.

[ShazzieB]

18. I am at a loss for words.

"Outrage" comes to mind, but it's way too tame and mind.

[Figarosmom]

21. Hope they file charges.

Sue the hell out of ICE.

[appleannie1]

22. Over $100,000 has been donated to Emiliano's restaurant to support employees detained during ICE raids.

A GoFundMe campaign, launched after the raids, has raised over $33,000 alone, according to primetimer.com. In total, more than $100,000 has been raised to assist the 16 individuals taken into custody.
Unfortunately, I doubt it will do any good. ICE would take the money and not release anyone. They are a bunch of thugs and thieves, just like their leader.

23. America's Gestapo

SHAME !

[JoseBalow]

24. Who are the criminal gangs?

Disgusting.

25. "What happens if you don't do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total

authority?

Training and background checks don't prevent this behavior. See also cops.

27. Same thing Russian troops did when they invaded Ukraine.

The US is being invaded by ICE agents.

[FloridaBlues]

28. Many ex felons pardoned from Jan6 went to work for ICE so not surprised by what they are doing.

We may never know who all these agents are in real life.At some point Americans will have had enough. Matter of time.

[Norbert]

30. I still fear there will be shootings and death

I don't see any way around it especially when ICE quadruples and it if full of thugs that follow him blindly.
