The ICE man has a difficult accent-hard to understand. I had to play it a few times, but
he does say it. whow.
I wish it was a longer video so we would have some context.

WOW! An ICE agent in Minneapolis tells an American citizen "If you raise your voice, I will erase your voice."
Stop telling me that the Trump administration isn't Fascist. They are threatening people for "raising their voice," and how exactly will ICE "erase our voice?"
Kill us?

(179,452 posts)Yeah, I hate that it was George Will, but it's a catchy word. I don't know if he coined it or stole it from someone.

(34,838 posts)Because I don't have a clue what the meaning is. I'm also not Interested in going on a wild goose chase trying to decipher his ambiguity.

(34,838 posts)Using made up words in an attempt to be clever and cute does little to advance constructive dialog.
The idea of communicating isn't to show how smart or creative you are but to clearly get across your message and engage your listeners/readers.
This fancifulness is an example of navel gazing.

Is that not the epitome of irony? Hypocrisy?
Wonder if their accent is German.

(42,664 posts)This isn't an Hispanic accent, and it's not Asian. It's not Russian, but something close to it. I can't get any closer than that. We have DUers that are better at identifying accents, especially some folks who are living in Europe.
PatSeg
(53,736 posts)but my initial reaction was either Russian or East European. I'm not very good at identifying accents though.

(34,838 posts)For all we know, this guy is one of the very "illegals" they are supposed to be deporting. Instead it's who knows who's making up this group of thugs called ICE.
They aren't legit. ICE is a Rouge op out for their cash bounty. The worst of the worst.
