The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.
“I keep asking them, ‘who are you? What are you doing here? What’s happening,’” she said. “And they said, ‘we have a warrant for the house, a search warrant.’”
She said they ordered her and her daughters outside into the rain before they could even put on clothes.
“They wanted me to change in front of all of them, in between all of them,” she said. “My husband has not even seen my daughter in her undergarments—her own dad, because it’s respectful. You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear.”
Marisa said the names on the search warrant were not hers or anyone in her family.
“We just moved here from Maryland,” she said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying. We’re citizens.”
She said the agents didn’t care.
“They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless,” she said. “I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren’t criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn’t do anything.”
Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”
“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”
Before they left, Marisa said one of the agents made a comment.
“One of them said, ‘I know it was a little rough this morning,’” she said. “It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was a little rough? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow.”
Now, Marisa said they have, quite literally, nothing.
“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.
Marisa said she is left with nothing but questions.
Why in the hell would one move to a shitty red run welfare state? ICE is the neo Gestapo or NKVD.
Sounds more like a typical homeinvasion robbery using ice disguises
In the military we referred to this as PILLAGING. It’s illegal for US soldiers to do it to foreign nationals in Iraq and Afghanistan and if they get caught they get court-martialed. I guess if you work for Trump and you do it to Americans, it’s okay though.
The 2nd ammendment will prevent this government tyranny any day now, right?
ICE is going to finance itself by stealing any money they can find. It’s Mob rules from the government under Trump.
Mistakes do happen, there’s no need to overreact or blow things out of proportion.
Go to hell you fascist piece of shit.
steals their life savings
Everything new is a forgotten old, Wallenstein’s turn.
But yeah, more such stories, more rougher reactions.
I think Lemmy public will reconsider their gun rights stance after a couple of years.

I used to think anti gun people would face reality at some point. Then January 6th happened, and blue conservatives still wanted to disarm the people.
Even after repeatedly demonstrating they or the justice system will never defend us. We are on our own.
And yet, those who want easy access to guns argue its to protect themselves from tyrannical power. They are also not doing that. Perhaps, in part, because the power disparity between military, police, and a civilian gun owner makes personal guns little more than display pieces.
Gun ownership is a hobby. Most of the dialogue around them is theater. Those who enjoy guns own far more than is needed for ‘defense’, because it’s enjoying ownership that they’re actually defending.

So it’s better to let it grow more, right?

That’s obvious, hard to do a lot of what you don’t enjoy if you can avoid it. Of course it’s theater. Most of the dialogue around karate is theater. It still somewhat prepares one physically for various events.
I wrote a Gemini (small web) client in the last 2 days, of course it’s theater, I don’t have a modus of using Gemini yet, but it was useful. At least I have a client convenient for me personally, I’ve gained some experience (ok, it’s a simple task, but), some self-confidence.
With guns - of course it’s mostly a very cool toy, people also do historical fencing with swords. But they also learn things about military history and something about using small arms. Better than nothing, sniper rifles still have a place in warfare, even if typical “assault rifles” are almost like a bayonet in WWII, still has uses, but very secondary.
Learning is the root of any achievement. Learning is helped by joy. Why should this be different for defense?
Sooner or later they’ll break in a house with someone similar to them that will welcome them with a semi automatic…
Oh I really want to see them go busting into a home of a 2A gun nut hillbilly. I don’t say this often, but I’d root for the hillbilly.
Gatling guns are legal. Look into it.
At this point if I ever have the displeasure of meeting an ice terrorist I’m going to shoot him/her
IANAL, TINLA, but: Don’t publish plans to commit crimes.
If they are standing their ground it might be up for debate.
Exhibit A, Your Honor.
You gotta be smart, use obscure language embrace missed messaging.
Definitely cant see any comparisons to the Gestapo there 👍
some fucking gestapo shit
I really hope someone hacks into the ICE database and send them kick down Trumpists doors.
People should claim to be ICE agents and go rob the homes of actual ICE agents. Accuse them of being illegal immigrants and disappear them off to fates unknown. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
How about hacking to dox the agents?
They should be added last, so that we don’t cripple them while they do a fantastic job looting MAGA houses.
You don’t need to hack anything: https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form
I reported Musk on there. I’m 1/2 waiting for ICE to come busting through my door.
Use a fake number generator for phone numbers as well as name generators. Also do it on a public computer and not your own device. If you must use a device you have. Do not do it from home and use a VPN combined with Tor network.
Or use Tails.net it’s a portable OS you use to hide from surveillance and it is part of the Tor project.
Tails is excellent.
I get what you’re saying, but no. I’m not going to hide myself and my opinions.
I mean he is a non-citizen (by their standards) who has committed serious crimes in our country. He should be at the top of their list.
You don’t need to put the “by their standards”
He is an immigrant who lied in his application, worked with an invalid status and overstayed his student visa to start his criminal career
His acquired citizenship needs to be stripped and deported to El Salvador
Civil Asset Forfeiture. It’s legal in most states, but some are better than others. Oklahoma is dog shit:
https://ij.org/report/policing-for-profit-3/?state=OK
Seriously people, don’t move to Oklahoma, or really most southern states.
Police in Oklahoma kicked me out of my house at my ex’s request. No police report, no idea why.
Does not apply to DHS agents.
If you think that’ll stop them, I have a bridge to sell you. In case you hadn’t noticed, the law doesn’t mean anything any more to the people in power.
You mentioned southern states, but I just checked a few other states, because I was thinking maybe they’re blue, liberal, and it may be better:
HI: D- IL: D- MA: F WA: D-
Oops!!!
For comparison: OK: D- TX: D+
TX scored the highest out of these states. We’re fucked!
Yeah unfortunately it’s no guarantee that blue states are better. Many are, but not all. Colorado, California, and New York all score a ‘C’, still not great but much better.
Do not move anywhere in the US, just move out.
I don’t want weak cowards anywhere in my nation, so yeah, you can leave buddy, don’t let the door hit your ass on the way If you are even in this country, I have a feeling you are not.
Weak coward for MAGAts, common sense for everyone else.
LMAO why do people always say this.
If it were that easy, the entire population of every authoritarian country would have already moved out.
At least you won’t get shot or tried (looking at you NK). It is not easy, but not impossible, and there is a tipping point, which is different for everyone as people have different values and scales.
For someone, paying 10$ an egg is survivable as long as their family is close.
“What if I would have been armed,” she said.
What, indeed.
She’d be dead but possibly celebrated.
Okay why the fuck did this post get deleted.
Was it deleted? It seems fine on my end though I might be missing something. My best guess and the only logical thing to suspect. Is that pointing out fascists would gleefully kill anyone who resists them was somehow mistaken as call for violence. Not just simply acknowledging the behavior of fascists.
I’m not a big advocate for arming in general. In a just Civil Society there should be no need for weapons and guns. However we don’t live in such a society at this point. And I think it’s a good idea for everyone especially the vulnerable and minorities to arm themselves in the face of the fascist. But I certainly will not scold them for not doing so. Because it absolutely could escalate things and cost them their life. It’s going to happen at some point though. I don’t want it to, but if people keep failing to put the fascists down. It will
Might have been “because repost.”
To your other points, everything good must be backed up with “We’ll fight you to the death over this if we have to.”
Indeed.
“Woman with no active warrants shot by police searching for illegal immigrant gang members”
–Mass media
“ICE Agents life SLAMMED by ILLEGAL immigrant gang member murderer”
- Fox News
The fecklessness of the mass media, and anyone that believes journalism is just repeating/reporting on what was said is certainly without end. Any journalist or Outlet that frets over access to groups or individuals because of their reporting aren’t involved in journalism. Just complicit in aiding propaganda. And we’ve just described almost every last bit of a media sadly.
“South American shot after opening fire on police searching for illegal immigrant gang members”
FTFY
“Woman with no active warrants shot
by police searchingduring search for illegal immigrant gang members”I think this is how it would likely be reported. Making it a more passive action would shield responsibility.
Biggest gang showing off their thuggery.
ICEholes in action
