1. They are still there

They are all wearing ICE uniforms now... and can't wait to kill protesters.

[mysteryowl]

2. Exactly! That is the point of the video.

3. Who do you think is being hired for ICE? I wouldn't put it past them, that they proudly brag to the hiring

agency that they are members of these two orgs, and they would be snapped up by tRUMP workers...

[mysteryowl]

5. Yes, they are the new untrained ICE. That is the point of the clip.

4. They're the ones cosplaying police

6. Maybe the auto-display only works for regulat YT videos, noy YT Shorts?

Don't know for sure, but that seems most likely, given the different URL structure.

8. Thanks

I didn't see an option to the short.

He makes a good point. No counter protesters, they all became part of ICE with the $50,000 sign-on bonus and high salary. Trumps cruel little army.

10. Links to image files which I now post, and which used to automatically display as images, no longer do so.

14. See my post #13 for fixing this on DU

7. They're part of the mercenary dregs that signed up with ICE n/t

[mysteryowl]

9. Yep, that is what to call them.

11. Could be because most of the...

Could be because most of the protests are taking place in blue areas and know they will be prosecuted if they break the law and TSF can't pardon them.

12. Word is tgat

They are now Icemen

13. Just a tip for getting youtube "shorts" videos to embed correctly.

Take the original link:
https://youtube.com/shorts/1cQKu-9locY?si=wrX_z1ZOOqJSIiKg

1. Remove the ?si=whatever part off the end
2. Replace shorts/whatever with "watch?v=whatever"

The new link will look like this (Added spaces so that it doesn't trigger the auto embed)
https:// youtube.com / watch?v=1cQKu-9locY

Working Example:

18. Thank you for the tip!

15. They all joined (frozen water)

Makes everything they want to do legal.

[MineralMan]

16. They're back out there and still wearing masks.

Now, they're wearing them because so many people would recognize them and call them out by name.

They really don't want that again. And the ICE folks don't want that to be known either.

Just wait until they have to go to court to testify in some case based on an arrest they made. No masks allowed in court. They'll get recognized.

It could all backfire, I think.

17. They work

They work for ICE/ISIS now.

[madinmaryland]

19. They all joined ICE. nt
