(The answer is it just broke and there are a lot of newsworthy things happening today)
It was an almost inevitable succession to robbers cosplaying as ICE. If one is deemed normal, then extrajudicial killings where in the moment you believe it’s illegal to defend yourself will be normalized too. If this is allowed to stand, or your president would pardon this kind of violence, your country is lost.
There have also been reports of men claiming to be ICE in order to SA women. They roll up on a woman, claim to be ICE, and demand that she come with him. And since ICE refuses to use IDs or a uniform, the women have no way of knowing if the dude is actually ICE.
I appreciate the sentiment, but you’d be acting more wisely by working simultaneously to oppose the rise of fascism in your own country.
Show solidarity, sure, but use your rallies to build coalitions to allow you to organize against the budding problems with Trump-style politicians in Canada. It was only by the disgrace of Trump’s overreach that you didn’t wind up with a PM that was much like him.
In my country in Europe, the news didn’t even give any context as to why it happened. They said that the robbers disguised themselves as police officers, and they didn’t even mention ICE and the fact that the current administration allows this force to arrest people without a warrant and without wearing a badge proving that they are indeed police. Hell, they can even walk around with their faces covered, for God’s sake.
I’m really surprised that a case of impostors like this is only being reported now, so late. There have probably been many other situations, but they went unnoticed by the media.
American living in Germany here. I’m shocked how often everyone is asking me about why there are “riots” in LA and they know nothing about the ICE raids and lack of due process for ommigrants.
My only reasoning is news organizations are doing this on purpose but I can’t understand why

We’re having a Kim Jong-Un style military parade today, dude. America let Trump grab it by the pussy.
I’ll be out there today in solidarity with your democracy. The people are the last bastion of resistance to fascism.

Obviously, yes. Those topics were touched on at the local rally.
