1. Tácticas de Intimidación y Falta de Identificación.
Los usuarios critican a los agentes de ICE por operar con el rostro cubierto, en vehículos no identificados y sin mostrar credenciales. Estos métodos, comparados con los de secuestradores o matones de la mafia, generan miedo e incertidumbre sobre la legitimidad de sus acciones.
- Ice operates just like the mafia; disappearing people, making threats, strong arming people, masked men.
- Without id and uniforms anybody could snatch people off the street. How is anyone to tell if they are ice or mafia?. Not that there is a lot of difference.
- I’m amazed that citizens with guns have not shot ice agents yet. How do you know they’re not mafia or cartel or some billionaire’s hit squad?
- No uniforms. No id badges. No numbers. Masks. What does that sound like? illegals. Militias going round doing what they like. People disappear off the streets. Where to? this sounds like mafia operations.
2. Percepción de ICE como una Organización Criminal Gubernamental.
Se argumenta que ICE funciona como una "mafia aprobada por el gobierno", llevando a cabo acciones consideradas ilegales como secuestros y robos, pero con la protección del estado y financiadas por los contribuyentes. La percepción es que operan al margen de la ley bajo una justificación política.
- Ice are simply government approved mafia. These actions are illegal, yet approved by trump administration, who has almost declaired marshal law in order to justify it.
- I mean, does it really make a difference at this point? ice is a government sponsored mafia.
- Ice is a criminal organization. Basically a mafia. They must be abolished completely.
- When we finally get a chance to prosecute, we are going to need to treat ice as a criminal organization, mafia-style.
3. Selectividad de Objetivos y Evasión de Criminales Reales.
Una crítica recurrente es que ICE evita confrontar a grupos criminales peligrosos como la mafia rusa, carteles o pandillas armadas. En su lugar, se enfoca en trabajadores, familias y personas vulnerables, lo que es percibido como un acto de cobardía y una prueba de que su misión no es la seguridad pública.
- Why doesn’t ice go after traffickers not roofers and agricultural workers? because they are ordinary people not trained to handle murderers, gang members, mafia types.
- Once more the news media and the administration ignore the fact that white criminal immigrants are not being tackled by ice. Where's ice re the russian mafia in the usa? the armenian mafia in the usa etc?
- If ice strictly went after the russian mafia , the cartels, or any organized crime mob, i would say sure hide your face. Unfortunately they are too scared to go after these criminals and are focussing on children with cancer, gardeners, fruit pickers, and construction workers—no need for secrecy.
- Notice how this goon squad only goes after soft targets, especially people of color, and not the heavily armed bad guys here illegally that really put u.s. Citizens in danger? when are they going to target the russian mafia or cartel-backed gangs?
4. Vínculos Políticos y Paralelismos con Regímenes Autoritarios.
Los comentarios asocian directamente a ICE con la administración Trump, describiéndola como su "mafia personal", "Gestapo" o "camisas pardas". Se establecen paralelos con grupos históricos autoritarios para denunciar sus acciones como una herramienta política que amenaza la democracia y los derechos civiles.
- Ice agents are mercenaries, not government agents. They have been hired by, and work solely for, the trump mafia.
- And everyone should consider that the trump mafia is basically using ice as a gestapo to go after their political opposition.
- I hate to say it, but ice is the enemy of the people. They are overstepping police, judges, state police & now the military. They have random people, not ice agents snatching people. We need to do something about ice immediately. They’re like trumps personal mafia.
- Everything about ice reeks of trump's secret service. Mafia, gestapo, brown shirts, j6ers. Illegal!
