The inspiration for today’s post was a recent short YouTube video posted by an ICE Gestapo agent all dressed up in his GI Joe-No-Really-I’m-A-Man tough-guy military vest and combat gear, mask and sunglasses. Gesturing to his mask and body he says, “The reason I wear this is not because of this, it’s because of this” as the camera turns toward a backyard swing set.
The implication was that by being an anonymous goon behaving illegally (no warrants, no identification, no badge, no agency identification on vehicles) and brutalizing and separating families, deporting children, including children who are citizens and children with severe medical conditions with no accommodation for their continued care and wellbeing, they need to mask their identification to protect their kids and families while acting criminally.
Call it irony in the age of American fascism. Or laughably the most tone deaf hypocrisy imaginable. Truly, bully babies.
Unfortunately, I didn’t save the link and couldn’t find it again, but there are other whiny American ICE Gestapo videos to be found.
For any ICE Gestapo agents or Border patrol goons reading this I would urge you to read the Truthout article below and a previous post on how your actions may really harm your kid, HEY, ICE AGENTS: Nazi's Son Speaks Out On His Father's Legacy: “I despise him.” …
”In this time of fascistic abuse and betrayal, we all need to consider our legacy. The question for all of us is: Where were you in this time of government abuse and betrayal. ICE agents have failed.”
Also readers, consider buying a t-shirt from Veterans For Peace to wear to the next protest featuring the excellent ICE documentary art above.

The Saber Trump Is Rattling: Calls To GI Hotlines Rise As Service Members Consider Defying Trump’s Orders

Truthout (7/4/25)
As the country tumbles towards fascism, some members of the U.S. military have struggled with a choice: defy illegal orders, or participate in the dismantling of American democracy.
In June, over the objections of local leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, President Donald Trump called up the National Guard and the U.S. Marines to quell protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. That month, calls to the GI Rights Hotline spiked. The hotline provides information on military discharges and related issues; all calls are confidential. The hotline, which is jointly administered by a large consortium of nonprofit organizations, connects callers with both paid resource counselors and experienced volunteers.
He said they didn’t fear protesters knowing their identity — they feared their children would.
“They just didn’t want to be recognized,” he told Truthout, explaining that many expressed “the idea that ‘I don’t want anyone in my community thinking I’m betraying them.’”
“They were worried that their children would see them and recognize them for what they were doing,” he added.
The consortium includes groups like Quaker House and The Center on Conscience & War, which assists service members with applications for conscientious objector status, and has seen a similar uptick in requests for help. So far this year, the center has helped 30 service members submit applications — more than they typically submit in an entire year. A high percentage of these applications are usually successfully accepted, according to the center.
Steve Woolford, a counselor with the hotline, told Truthout in an email that his office, which is just one of the multiple sites that staff the hotline, received over 300 calls in June, a 94 percent increase in calls from the previous June.
“Overall callers have shared serious concerns that the president is moving the country away from a representative democracy altogether,” Woolford told Truthout in an email. “These callers believe that the military will determine what the United States becomes by deciding which side to follow. For them, having service members refuse to turn their backs on the constitution is the safeguard against martial law and dictatorship.”
U.S. Air Force airman Juan Bettancourt said his colleagues in the armed forces have expressed similar concerns. Bettancourt is expressing his own views and not speaking on behalf of the military or the Department of Defense.
Pawns for fascism
“They are absolutely petrified of being put in a position in which they are the vehicle to advance further authoritarianism, and the proto-fascism that we’re seeing,” Bettancourt told Truthout. “There is absolutely that fear that they’re going to be the pawns in this chess game that brings about the further expansion of authoritarianism.”
Bettancourt said some service members fear the military will become Trump’s domestic police force, potentially in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. …

The lesson learned from this article by Mark, is that Those Who Rule by the whip of Fear to oppress, are ruled by Fear themselves. They are so fearful for their own lives and their families. Karma is already acting for ICE and all tyrants.
I wouldn't want my children knowing I was a pawn in dismantling any semblance of democracy either. I wonder if a class action suit of some kind is possible? Probably not, but that's a lot of people expressing concern over what they were hired to do.
