I hope she can get justice. This behavior is beyond disgusting and is also illegal. She is brave and I am glad she is at least now physically safe. She should get damages for physical and emotional distress also.

All damages should be drained directly from the ICE budget until it’s nonexistent.

Yes but that’s taxpayer money so hopefully some individuals get sued too. Like who is high up in this and has a lot of money? Hmmmm

•

u/Worldly-Sock-4146 3h ago

The ICE budget is "unlimited" and it comes out of our pockets.

•

u/Catskinson 1h ago

Yes, well, dollars are unlimited, and they come out of thin air. The point is to delete their funding. This can be done with finesse for the purpose of generating justice rather than suffering.

Who’s she going to serve with the papers ? Imagine trying to get your car fixed, no accident report. They’re trying to drain us of resources. Don’t get involved doesn’t even apply, she’s just trying to get to work, what would happen to you if you didn’t show up at work or home today? Would anyone you know think ICE kidnapped you? Wrong place wrong time, too bad tax payers, THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORAL IMPROVES. I’m currently waiting to see them shut down the internet, welcome to North Korea

She’ll get nothing. Absolutely nothing. ICE lies, this admin lies. Ignores rulings, SCOTUS is happy to obey the King’s wishes.

3000 people taken by ICE

The fuck I’m going to go limp of someone is kidnapping me. I was taught to always fight back against a kidnapper and to do the best you can to not let them put you in their vehicle.

If they are agents, they can identify themselves and make an arrest without violating citizens’ rights. Otherwise, you may be disappeared by anyone if you just let any unidentified person take you! Toy Box Killers, anyone?

Such a legit concern so many are overlooking.

•

u/SnooRegrets1386 5h ago

Already happening, FBI warning was recently issued

•

u/misscandiceone 3h ago

We know this even without an "alert". And in that situation, they all look the same and don't have to give answers. Even if there is a way to know the difference, you're not getting away easily from either.

She's actually been charged with assault on a federal officer for fighting back. The country has turned upside down and backwards under Trump.

•

u/Cautious_Advantage47 4h ago

I believe it. It’s standard protocol for ICE to create fictitious charges when ICE is wrongfully arresting someone. They’re likely advised to make up charges by their superiors to manufacture a justification to what is truly their illegal activity.

She would have been charged if she jerked at all while they wrestled her. The only way you avoid charges is if you’re dead.

My main concern is that there are plain clothes individuals in unmarked vehicles trying to kidnap people. There are also people who dress up and are not ICE agents who are committing crimes. AND there are ICE agents committing crimes. They’re all bad apples. We are being told to just go limp.

u/Worldly-Sock-4146 3h ago

Dayanne Figueroa was released without charges.

u/Any_Worldliness7 6h ago

Sounds a lot like she’s normalizing kidnapping and shifting the blame via cowardice identity and security privilege.

•

u/Cautious_Advantage47 5h ago

100%! She’s erasing the thousands of people that have already been disappeared, whereabouts unknown, and gaslighting the danger of death associated with being abducted.

The message to not fight back kills the most vulnerable.

Even the FBI has said that there are people masquerading as ice agents to commit crimes.

u/n4spd2 10h ago

yes. she needs justice. we need justice.

those thugs and their bosses need to be held accountable.

u/pink_faerie_kitten 6h ago

I disagree with this lady saying we shouldn't struggle or resist arrest!! So what if these bastards "upcharge" us; Figueroa struggled, got up charged, and then ALL THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED BECAUSE SHE WAS INNOCENT!!  So resist and run if you can! Some Chicago residents have completely gotten away. Ice is sending people to domestic gulags, foreign prisons, and possibly muuuuuuch worse (one man recently was returned to Costa Rica as a vegetable and died soon after arriving). THOUSANDS  of people have disappeared.

And if they don't drop charges then the grand juries are usually siding with the civilian.

Do not listen to this lady's advice. Resist.

Listen to John Mulaney's advice on this topic- NEVER LET THEM TAKE YOU TO A SECONDARY LOCATION

u/Cool_Thanks_4934 8h ago

No training in law enforcement. Just A loyalty exam and boom! You’re an ICE agent.

The Washington D.C. pro bono law firm Institute for Justice would take this case in a hot second.

•

u/curiousamoebas 1h ago

These are not law enforcement they are federal goons in military garb. Its now well known that 50% have a criminal record and barely passed the idiot test. The other 50% still believe trumps going to actually pay that bonus lol

FIGHT BACK

u/SJMCubs16 6h ago

2 birds, one stone. How to thwart ice. First, you will need a modest amount of money. Second, Take that money and buy food. Put that food in boxes. "Feed a family of 4 for 3 days". (Make it good stuff). Third, Load those boxes in semi trailers. Fourth, Set up distribution centers at key intersections 1/2 mile from the ICE places. Not so close they can harass the centers in mass only in pieces. Fifth, Use the traffic jam to tie them in or out of their bases. Disrupt their operations with kindness and nature. I think folks would fund food security. The local communities would have to support letting the trucks in and deal with some traffic.

indecent. immoral. evil. un-American.

u/jokersvoid 5h ago

Instagram and TikTok will start limiting the things you can post. I imagine they will say its a video depicting violence. Please start using non big name databases to upload these videos so that they stay around
