Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a "war zone" where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 118 points 2 months ago

She’s not wrong. It’s just that her agents are causing the war part.

Do you think these people ever have an occasional moment when they think to themselves "I sound literally insane"?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Noem can dig a pit and use it as a latrine like she did for her goats,horses, and Dog, if you catch my drift.

On Sunday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a "war zone" where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.

Good. They should not feel welcome ANYWHERE they go; no comfort, no peace, to the enemy.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 54 points 2 months ago

Noem: It's a war zone out there! It's crazy!

Them: What do you mean? People are shooting at each other? Bodies in the streets?

Noem: They won't let us pee in their restrooms!

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Well did the ICE agents submit to gender checks first, to make sure they’re using the correct restroom? A copy of their birth certificate should suffice.

[-] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Not good enough we also have to do a manual inspection. Michael testicletickler is going to be doing the inspections. Dont let the name worry you though, he doesn't tickle testicles only fingers buttholes.

Something, something - Third Amendment?

I’m not an American - but I’m pretty sure the 3rd basically means that they can (and should) be refused service freely by anyone and everyone who wants to?

[-] Ithral 16 points 2 months ago

No, the 3rd amendment means your house/apt can't be turned into a barracks.

Refusing service is just how things are, no specific amendment

[-] AlecSadler 14 points 2 months ago

I'd add that they should be identified and not welcome anywhere ever.

Huh, I guess cops arnt always shitty.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 69 points 2 months ago

Almost every time like the one we are currently living in involves police/military people having to decide where their loyalties lie. Sometimes it's with the people, sometimes it's with the regime. Very often it is different between different agencies (with the lowest-level ones tending to side with the people).

The US is such a patchwork (both organizationally and on in individual level for each cop) that I think there will be a big and chaotic variety. It could range from sheriff's departments headed by Trump-loyal sheriffs who are willing to go to war with city agencies who are trying to protect their people, all the way over to city cops who eventually start actively defending their cities against the feds who are trying to do obviously illegal things there. That last one hasn't happened yet but I think it may be right around the corner. Things are changing. Those city workers telling Kristi Noem to get fucked from being allowed to pee in Broadview City Hall, that stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

The US is such a patchwork ...

In just about every way. During "normal" times, that makes for more bureaucracy and Kafka, but the silver lining is that when fascists take over the entire federal government, it's harder for them to tear everything down all at once than if the country were more monolithic.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I feel like part of it is just historical / accidental, but also, resisting fascism (in modern terminology) was more or less the absolutely key overriding priority that the US government had built into it at the start.

Even things like having each state run its own mini-election and be in charge of it, instead of a single federal election, start to seem pretty prescient in the current climate.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 44 points 2 months ago

ICE pepper sprayed cops and protestors alike

[-] compulsory@crust.piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Cops don't want anyone above them interfering with their ~~city~~ racket.

[-] spacesatan@leminal.space 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Cops are weird, it's a mix of 'this our turf, you wanted to come in here so FAFO', laziness, a vague sense of duty directed at ???, and some eclectic variety of incoherent personal politics that separates the feds into the camp of 'other' at least temporarily.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Or they're doing this intentionally hoping that it sparks some bigger conflict, where they along with ICE 'justify' getting to pull out the real big boy toys to use on the populace. Considering the coordination and organization behind the "thin blue line" and my own personal experiences with police, I'm more inclined to believe this than all them suddenly growing a conscience and doing the right thing as an organization.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago

Nah, the "not in my city" mindset is a far simpler explanation.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 51 points 2 months ago

I liked the side article on how sad it is ice agents are being turned away at restaurants and they are not even allowed to use the restroom.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 42 points 2 months ago
[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Have you no sympathy for those pathetic flag pissing traitors?

[-] modus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

After a hard days' work they just want to kick back at their local taquiera and enjoy a few frosty cervezas. What's the problem?

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Chicago officers were instructed not to respond to the U.S. Border Patrol's calls for help in another incident where a vehicle was rammed and a person was shot.

"Multiple law enforcement sources confirm to @FoxNews that Chicago police officers were instructed by their Chief of Patrol to NOT respond to Border Patrol agents call for help yesterday after they were reportedly surrounded by a large crowd of protesters following a ramming incident & shooting of an armed woman," Melugin reported on X.

That last paragraph, from a FOX News correspondent, makes it sound like it was some ad hoc decision. It was not. Illinois does not permit any state, county, or local law enforcement to assist federal agents with their federal enforcement objectives.

ICE agents were in the middle of doing federal enforcement work. Crowd control is on them.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 2 months ago

Never happened. The source is Fox News, the tentpole of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and they lie 100% of the time. We are under no obligation to believe a single word that comes out of Fox News, in fact, I am inclined to believe the exact opposite.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 37 points 2 months ago

Not saying I'm a fan of the police, but I think they made a good call this time.

..... this time.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 26 points 2 months ago

It's Illinois state law that they're prohibited from assisting federal agents in doing federal agent stuff.

So for once the cops were actually following the law.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

"Gee guys, we'd love to help you abuse the rights of citizens, it's kind of our favorite thing, but our hands are tied here. I'm sure you understand."

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

That's shocking.

[-] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

They are simply reading the room and making a calculated choice. The public needs to continue putting the pressure on, they are cracking at the local level first.

Need an immediate response lefty team. Show up for these things and record and document everything with the intention that if government ever course corrects, there is now some record that might be able to identify these ICE agents and have justice served. They 100% are covering their face so that there's no way to charge them if courts ever try for any violations
