It appears that the Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, etc. are now Ice Agents. They already passed

[AnotherMother4Peace]

tRump's loyalty test. Violent, cult like groups now consolidated under tRump's Ice Gestapo.

1. Oh but they aren't truly 'agents'

Like the CIA or FBI . . .

They are a Paramilitary Organization that serves strictly at the pleasure of Trump, Vance, and Miller.

[bigtree]

2. no question

...'militias' like the ones who marched on Charlottesville with their semi-automatic weapons.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Also a whole lot of pardoned J6ers.

This has pretty much all been common knowledge for some time now.

[hatrack]

3. They're working hard to put the "SA" in "USA"

.

8. Welcome to

America VENEZUELA, AMERICANS.

[groundloop]

5. I think we all knew (or should have known) this was coming the instant they got pardoned

It was just a question of exactly HOW tRump would use his fellow insurrectionists.

I guess nothing should surprise us anymore.

7. The capital police knew that day on J6.

[littlemissmartypants]

6. He summoned his goons on J6. Now he has a private para military force and...

It can follow him ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Case in point: Italy.

ICE agents will have a security role at Milan Cortina Olympics

Some of us knew that this was coming.

[GoodRaisin]

9. Of course. That's what we've been watching on television.

We all knew they and their ilk would come running as soon as the hiring started.

10. This has been in the game plan since Nixon.

It was just waiting until SCOTUS was fully baked.
They've been training in the woods in "secret" the whole time, similar to how "flying clubs" became the Luftwaffe and Brown shirts became the SS, in plain sight under cover of "law".
On of the first actions after putting down this coup is to rescind ALL the pardons and reassert the Rule Of Law.
It's a fine line between "giving them the benefit of a doubt" and being fatally gullible.
We knew all along who they were because they told us.
DOJ has always deferred to right-wing paramilitaries and thrown the full weight of the Law at left-wing groups.
Now, with SCOTUS running interference they have the road all to themselves.
It kinda has the aroma of being rigged for seditionists and insurrectionists.

11. ICE has been using a song popular

among the white power crowd in it's recruitment videos.

12. It "appears"?

Is that your assumption or is that being reported somewhere?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

13. I knew someone was going to ask for my source and/or question my assumption.

I believe that tRump’s favorite enforcers, his favorite violent gangs are now ICE agents for the following reasons:

1) they’ve disappeared. Where are the Proud Boys? Boogaloos? They used to be front and center. tRumps wet dream. I believe they’re still there, wearing masks with their identifying tattoos showing every now and then.

2) they’re masked up with no identification so who in the fuck are they?

3) Enrique Tarrio showed up on an ICE list as a propagandist and agitator.

4) their fucking tattoos identify who they are.

[maxsolomon]

14. I definitely think it's possible, even likely that RW Militia members been hired.

I'm just wondering if it's been confirmed.
