ICE agents are sad..they cant use the toilet in peace



https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-minnesota-protesters-bathroom-breaks-b2905782.html

ICE whines that protesters in Minnesota won’t even let agents take bathroom breaks in peace
Department of Homeland Security appeals for sympathy by claiming its officers are harassed by ‘agitators’ wherever they go, even when trying to use gas station restrooms


“Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks,” the DHS wrote on X Wednesday.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions.

At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents,” the statement continued. “At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them.

1. Democrats in Congress need to stop ICE funding.
2. Article 25.
3 Grind on the Epstein files.

And last...ICE leaves our cities and is disbanded.

If ICE or the military (if they'll even cooperate) tries to contain other parts of the country with their gestapo BS, things will get really ugly. US citizens don't willingly put up with being told what to do, where to go or not to go, or allow themselves to be abused without response.

There once were some agents from ICE
Who demanded a bathroom in peace.
But protesters said, “Nah,
You can piss off—ha ha,”
And blocked every exit like geese.

In Minnesota, DHS cried,
“We’re harassed every time we’ve tried
To take one quick leak
By a pump or a Meek—
Why won’t mobs let our bladders subside?”

They posted on X with a moan:
“Agitators won’t leave us alone!
They yell and they stalk,
Won’t let squad cars unlock—
Even Chevron’s a danger zone.”

An agent lunged forward, all tough,
To detain someone spitting their stuff.
But the crowd said “Oh please,”
And dogpiled with ease—
Turns out cosplay cops aren’t that buff.

So DHS begs us to feel
For the trauma of restroom ordeal:
“Sure, we cage human lives,
But draw one goddamn line—
Let us shit behind Speedy Mart steel.”

The lesson, if one must be learned:
You reap what you’ve brutally earned.
When you terrorize towns,
Don’t act shocked when it rounds
Back on you—now hold it, concerned.

We're getting awful close to a Kent State moment. Not just 1 person getting killed but ICE unleashing on a whole crowd. We're getting close to a Flashpoint where violence breaks out everywhere.

Once Trump dies, they are all doomed.

Unemployable.
Unredeemable.
Stained.
Shamed.

FOREVER!

There is no burning or burying those uniforms.
There is no redemption available for their actions.

What they are doing (ALL OF THEM) is morally abhorrent and wrong.
ANYONE who cashes an ICE check, serves one second in an ICE unit or says this is all OK is DAMNED FOR ETERNITY.

I will NEVER allow them to rejoin society quietly, the nanosecond that I KNOW someone is ICE-stained, they are going on full blast in front of the world. If their children are there, I will explain to them that their parent or grandparent is a piece of shit that actively sought to harm people for money and did so with the worst human beings of the 21st century.

Its GAME OVER ICE...GAME OVER!

With prison highway cleanup details. Put a porta potty on a trailer and pull it behind the Nazi rigs. Sure the J6 goons will be freezing their asses off in the Minnesota cold, but they won't be turned away again.

Yes. I'm very skeptical indeed that unarmed people successfully tackled and surrounded armed ICE agents.

It didn't happen in large numbers then, and it isn't happening in large numbers now, but it is powerful propaganda for Reich-wingers.

It has been said that if all the people to have claimed to have seen Micky Mantle's homerun that cleared the confines of Yankee stadium were in attendance that day, the stadium would have held 20,000,000 in the stands.
