This Year's First Big Stupid Idea: 'Retrain ICE'

Some things get so evil that they forfeit their right to exist. Trump's rogue paramilitary gangs are one of them.

Abolishing ice isn't radical, funding it is

"ICE misrule isn't happening because someone skipped a meeting during their onboarding process," Linkins points out.

This is a deeply ingrained and incurable corruption"not that anyone at ICE wants to be "cured." ICE agents already receive comprehensive training, which they comprehensively ignore. In the latest instance, we've learned from a whistleblower that agents have claimed the right to break into homes without a judicial warrant, directly countermanding their vaunted legal training. No one can or should trust a retrained version of this agency. A root-and-branch teardown is in order. Mass firings are in order (I guess the leakers and whistleblowers can stay in some capacity). The clawback of billions of dollars is in order. Damnation, in every sense of the word, is in order.

ABOLISH ICE

#2 | Posted by Nixon at 2026-01-26 08:15 AM

Why does Trump need a huge, weaponized, massively funded paramilitary force emboldened the Get Out Of Jail Free card of "absolute immunity"?

#3 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis at 2026-01-26 11:28 AM

The training angle is just another way the media is failing.

It's not a lack of training.

It's an intentional arming and dispersal of people to sow chaos, fear and violence with impunity.

My biggest bone with media has been this golly gee whiz approach they take where they treat a high level administration official saying habeus corpus is a power of the president that he can suspend at will as a *whoops* simple mistake.

There's always an undue assumption of good faith that the media needs to drop if they have any plan of relevancy in the coming years.

ICE needs to be disbanded.

Its leadership and likely hundreds of its ex-members need to be prosecuted.

Let me see.

1. There's indications that a Signal chat exists organized by the MN State officials to obstruct justice.
2. Local PD doesn't protect Federal officers. (you complain about their training, well have local PD protect them)
3. Biden let in Millions of illegal immigrants, gave them impermanent status (TPS), even I knew Trump would come along and revoke it .. you idiots.

I could go on, but structurally, I know your mind can't comprehend the facts, because you're running on emotion, given your language and lack of curiosity.

The only reason he isn't killfiled even more is because we don't see intellectual disasters like this all that often.

ICE murders is not "lack of training", it's fruit borne of signaled permissiveness from potus.

#11 | Posted by fresno500 at 2026-01-26 01:07 PM

"it's fruit borne of signaled permissiveness from potus."

It's also due to incentivizing the kidnapping of innocent people. ICE gets a bounty for everyone they remove from the street, legal or not.

Until and unless the Icehole has to pay three times the bounty to anyone falsely detained, this program should stop. It's LITERALLY incentivizing extra-judicial kidnappings.

You cannot train or retrain morality, decency, or grace, to wit:

Landis: [interviewing Elaine for a job] Not many people have grace.

Elaine Benes: Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to think I have a little grace. Not as much as Jackie O...

Landis: You can't have a little grace. You either have grace or you don't.

Elaine Benes: Okay, fine. I have no grace.

Landis: And you can't acquire grace.

Elaine Benes: Well, I have no intention of getting grace.

Landis: Grace isn't something you can pick up at the market.

Elaine Benes: [annoyed] Alright, alright, look, I don't have grace, I don't want grace, I don't even say grace, okay?

Landis: Thank you for coming in.

Elaine Benes: Yeah yeah right.

Their endless search for any plausible justification for this--and Ms. Good's killing (murder, execution, culling, assassination, slaying) speaks volumes as to what unthinkable methods TrumpCo will turn to in order to inevitably achieve their oft-threatened fever dream goal of establishing martial law in predominantly blue cities and states. Human history says we ain't seen nuttin' yet, and should that beast escape it's cage--"whoa Nelly!"

Stephen Miller said Alex Pretti was "an assassin who tried to murder federal agents" and J.D. Vance retweeted it. End of story.

Even after witnessing them being peppersprayed at point blank range I understand your confusion at Pretti's attempt to continue protecting that woman.

Neither could see, but they could feel blows from ICE - particularly as both were on their hands and knees for the execution.

Your observation skill aside, how do you feel about conceal carry in general?

The tactics employed, such as mace in the face create confusion.

Afterward is the gun the problem or the protesting nurse?

Was Pretti a Soros assassin or Antifa?

Bath salts? Fentanyl?

Or, is it ICE?

And you.

#22 | Posted by redlightrobot at 2026-01-27 01:46 AM

Obstruction of the big brave ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground.

How is shoving women to the ground a duty of ICE agents?

Clearly this obstruction is grounds for summary execution without arrest or trial.

ICE is an out of control unaccountable para military police force that needs to be dismantled.

#23 | Posted by Nixon at 2026-01-27 09:52 AM

ICE murders is not "lack of training"

The sociopath that murdered Renee Good was a 10 year ICE officer.

The sociopath that executed Alex Pretti was an 8 year ICE officer.

Training was not the issue. An unaccountable out of control paramilitary police force that gets to hide it's identity whose crimes are covered up by the thugs in Washington is the issue.

Holding these ------- accountable for their actions would be a start, but the administration blocking state and local governments from holding them accountable, to Baby Himmler and Krusty Gnome smearing the victims as "domestic terrorists" and providing a narrative that are blatant ------- lies when compared to video and eyewitness evidence is giving them carte blanche to be the domestic terrorists the administration wants them to be.

He was shielding her from assault from an ICE Napolean complexed s*&^bag.

Apparently, one can't intervene in the violation of another person's 1A rights...

You must stand by and watch the assault and hope there are no significant injuries to tend to after the limp d*&^ed ICE s*&^bag walks away.

This meme about "re-training ICE" is a subtle way for the status quo dinosaurs to maintain the US police state.

The same can be said about right-wingers sermonizing the liberals: "You need to move to the center if you want to win elections."

Taking advice from the right-wing on anything is tantamount to boring a hole in your own skull with an electric drill.

Thanks Friend, we've needed an addition to the list of flag choices for some time and though it is, as yet, unsanctioned by RCADE I think I'll try to remember it and refer to it as #17 which, to me, seems like a common level of crazy which needs a quick abbreviation."

*** Italians Alarmed to Hear Sinister Trumpf Junta is Deploying ICE Unit to Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy ***

"Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE would not be welcome in his city, which is hosting the 6 Feb opening ceremony to be attended by the profoundly unpopular VPOTUS JD Vance.

[ICE] is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt," Sala told RTL Radio 102."
