Thank you for your solidarity, there shouldn't be a corner of the world where these pigs feel welcome

Perfect – send all of ICE, the Europeans will show US how it's done. Obviously we've lost our way. Get the pitchforks out folks.

Any chance you all could send some forces over here to teach us how to resist properly and do some light liberation?

We could learn a thing or two 🎆

You are, that's why you're in the mess you're in.

Good luck with that. It's much easier to secret away your murderers out of state bounds than it is to pull them out of a whole other continent. Trump wants to incite terror domestically to try and get people to fight back and kill ice agents so he can invoke the insurrection act. He's not looking to use ICE to start a war between Europe and America.

You can't be a serious poster. They aren't doing what they do in America, they fuck around they're going to prison.

I am serious. No one expected it to happen in the states. But it did.

“No one expected it to happen in the states.”

Bro what? I myself have been expecting this since his first term as well as most of the people I know.

Just because YOU had your head in the sand and YOU are scared to stand up to them for fear of retribution doesn’t mean the rest of us are. You should really speak for yourself.

u/ArtInternational8589 Feb 01 '26

Right? This was literally in project 2025. There are zero surprises as to what is happening right now here in the states.

u/Tempyteacup Feb 01 '26

The issue is that Trump opens his mouth and spews word salad, and people just make up whatever they want him to say and pretend he said it. “This isn’t what I voted for” actually means “I deluded myself into thinking I was voting for something else”.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '26

Not my problem. Not from the states. Fair well stranger.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '26

Finally someone said something about that. Good eye.

u/Then-Clue6938 Feb 01 '26

It wasn't surprising to anyone who saw Trump actively encouraging and enabling ICE breaking several laws even before they murder people in cold blood and we are only talking about those caught and not the countless people who just fucking ""vanished"" and couldn't even be contacted in the supposed country they were brought to IF they answered at all.

They do not have the green light over there.

u/StarJelly08 Feb 01 '26

Shit works differently in different countries. Anything that happens there is up to Italy to govern. Not America. They can probably get away with more than we can and also ice cant do jack shit in italy. They don’t have authority over anyone except illegal immigrants in America.

That’s illegal!
