This is the kind of thing you see in police states.

ICE’s Unconstitutional Double Standard for Protesters

On Jan. 15, White House Border Czar Tom Homan told Laura Ingraham during a Fox News interview that he is “pushing for” the federal government to create a “database” of people arrested during demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In Homan’s words, “we’re gonna make them famous. We’re gonna put their faces on TV. We’re gonna let their employers, and their neighborhoods, and their schools, know who these people are.”

Reporting suggests that Homan’s database may already be a reality—and not just for people whose protest activity leads to arrest. On Jan. 23, an anti-ICE protester captured an ICE agent on video explaining that he was taking pictures of the protester’s car, “’cause we have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that.” Ken Klippenstein reported that a federal official directly involved with the program confirmed that the database exists and that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered immigration officers to collect information about anyone filming their activities.

However, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin subsequently disavowed the existence of the database, while other reporting suggests that the “database” may be decentralized and disorganized at this point.

Regardless of its current status, the intent behind such a database is troubling: to strike back against recent efforts to film, follow, and monitor ICE agents and publicize their identities. As Homan said, “If they want to broadcast the ICE officer that was nearly killed all over the internet [presumably referring to the ICE agent who shot and killed Renée Macklin Good in Minneapolis], we’re gonna broadcast every one of these people we arrest.”

Homan is drawing a false equivalency between what protesters are doing—filming law enforcement officers doing their duties in public, following them to monitor those activities, and publishing recordings that disclose agents’ names, faces, and badge numbers—and what the government is doing: arresting people for this activity, creating a government-controlled list of ICE protesters, and preparing to use this information to lean on private parties in hopes that the private parties will then punish the protesters in ways the government cannot.

ICE’s Unconstitutional Double Standard for Protesters

DHS’s threats to create a database of anti-ICE protesters raise troubling First Amendment concerns.

Police states are known to use surveillance of their citizens as a means of controlling the population. Protests, exercises of free speech, media that questions authority, authoritarian governments don't like those things. Attempts are made to stifle dissent. For instance, unfriendly media outlets and individual reporters are targeted. Protesters are attacked by the police and files are kept on them. Not that anything like that would happen here.

“Lawfaremedia”

Wow. The usual cut and paste wall of babbling nonsense from berg using her obscure tabloid websites.

 

[Marener]

I look at CNN when I need a laugh.

You’re intellectually a coward.

The woman is dead, who’d you think they were going to prosecute? Dig her up? Idiot.

Marimar Martinez is not dead. ICE shot her 5 times and lied about ramming her car. That’s what the video shows.

Meaningless drivel…shove it up your ass, moron.

You’re pathetic. Either a tool for the fascists or a fascist yourself.

Either way, you glorify the use of violence against people for political purposes.

You will go down in history alongside the enablers of these authoritarian regimes.

yeah.....more pin the swastikas' on the fascist ...... ~S~

 

[jknowgood]

I don't know what "branding" a gun means. Perhaps you mean "brandishing", which is a lie.

DHS lied about Pretti. DHS lied about Good.

They also lied about other shootings.

And don't forget them bragging about shooting Marimar Martinez. The video shows them ramming her car, lying about them being "attacked" by her, and then getting out and shooting her 5 times.

Lawyers of Chicago woman shot by federal agents say documents show how DHS lies about investigations

Marimar Martinez, a teaching assistant and U.S. citizen, was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent in October while in her vehicle. She was charged with a felony after Homeland Security officials accused her of trying to ram agents with her vehicle. But the case was dismissed after videos...

Your fascist government is using violence on people and lying about it. If you support this government, you're on the side of authoritarianism and fascism.

Lol, they are doing the job that most Americans voted for remember. You loons are getting in the way of that. How fascist of y'all. Also Trump didn't force a vaccine on people and if they didn't take it they lost their career, that was Biden. Your man, and Trump reinstated them when he became president. You loons are the fascist.

 

[jknowgood]

They tried to blame Trump for MN fraud for Christ sake….

I saw that video, unbelievable.

If you folks want a police state debate, you're going to have to go back a few decades....

Was it ok that “sedition hunters”many of whom were not even us citizens, in other countries, were allowed to scour the videos of J6 and report them to the FBI?

Is it ok that left wing activists can have websites dedicated to doxxing and terrorizing families if ice agents?

Just like you would agree that anyone who was at J6, the FBI would be justified in keeping tabs on them, so should the FBI on these anti ice protesters who have shown violent tendencies, especially since some of them are now coming out openly calling for the killing of ice and cop.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Imagine whiny leftards resisting law enforcement and protecting criminals.
It's easy if you try.

WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT, Q-NUT?
Law enforcement that can PROVE they are law enforcement, with ID, badges, badge ID numbers, names and don't cover their faces.

YES.

Same thing you nut jobs did to judges, prosecutors, jurors,witnesses and their families,
Who dared to oppose Trump.

Just like you would agree that anyone who was at J6, the FBI would be justified in keeping tabs on them, so should the FBI on these anti ice protesters who have shown violent tendencies, especially since some of them are now coming out openly calling for the killing of ice and cop.

Sure, if that ever happens.

The kind of thing you see in police states is like when democrats use lawfare to either keep their political opponents off of the ballot or try putting them in jail, arresting peaceful protesters just for being at a protest where some went too far, taking away professional licenses from everyone who disagrees with their narrative, not allow free speech rights, not allow 2A rights, trying to tightly control the media and determine for themselves what is information and misinformation, fire people from their jobs because they don't toe the official party line, refuse it's own citizens to be out in public without their vaccine papers, encourage friends and neighbors to call the police on people they know for congregating in groups during the pandemic, and for taking away citizen's rights to go to church during the pandemic.

This is what you tell yourself to ignore the government violence.

 

[g5000]

Impeding officers is a crime.......ooooops

How can you tell they are officers when they have no identifying markings and wear masks?

If they commit a home invasion, it is our constitutional right to shoot unidentified masked home invaders in the face.

Just a matter of time.

 

[jknowgood]

This is what you tell yourself to ignore the government violence.

I can tell you for a fact, if it wasn't for your violence towards them first. Those two loons would be Alive today.

 

[Marener]

I can tell you for a fact, if it wasn't for your violence towards them first. Those two loons would be Alive today.

ICE initiates violence and blames the people.

You support it. You want the violence.

That’s the fascist way of thinking.

 

[jknowgood]

ICE initiates violence and blames the people.

You support it. You want the violence.

That’s the fascist way of thinking.

Then why are there people already there stopping them when they arrive and how do they know where they are going to be?

 

[g5000]

I can tell you for a fact, if it wasn't for your violence towards them first. Those two loons would be Alive today.

Both murder victims were being peaceful demonstrators.

Good was trying to flee violent thugs attacking her, and Pretti was SAYING WORDS to them.

You ******* asshole.

 

[Marener]

Then why are there people already there stopping them when they arrive and how do they know where they are going to be?

You mean why are people exercising their constitutional right to free speech?

Because they can.

It’s ICE that loves getting violent with people. They celebrate it. So do you.

That’s how fascists behave.

 

[g5000]

MAGAs are positively schizophrenic.

Violent domestic terrorists attacked and wounded 140 cops on January 6. The MAGAs claim they were peaceful trespassers and call a woman shot surmounting the last barricade between the mob and members of Congress a martyr.

Two actual peaceful protesters are murdered by ICE and MAGA calls them domestic terrorists.

You set the benchmark on January 6 for what kind of violence against cops is acceptable, fuckwits.

Not just acceptable, but the offenders lauded as "patriots".

So you can take whatever bullshit you have to say about Good and Pretti and shove it right back up your collective asses.

 

[jknowgood]

Both murder victims were being peaceful demonstrators.

Good was trying to flee violent thugs attacking her, and Pretti was SAYING WORDS to them.

You ******* asshole.

Yeah Good tried to kill the office with her car. If she was peaceful and did what the officers said she would be alive today. That's a fact, and if the other one didn't attack ice, he would also be alive today.
