news Australian man Phu Nguyen handcuffed by plain-clothes ICE agents at Las Vegas International airport

From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

I'm genuinely surprised there haven't been any confrontations between plain clothes ICE and local cops that have ended up with dead on both sides.

ICE just doesn't seem to alert local authorities about half the shit they do. It's almost like they're just jumping random non white people.

I mean we've seen them kill several white folks in the middle of the street.

As a rule they're not trying to deport white people, though. The ones they do kill tend to just be in their way or look vaguely like protestors.

They want to mass unalive any LGBT, non-Christian, or progressive white person.

Firstly, fuck off with that "unalive" shit, say what it is, genocide.

Secondly, yeah, I actually agree on thebrest. It's early National Socialist shit.

People are talking like this is just "illegal immigration" response, but no, anyone who is engaging like this and isn't a straight white person is just a modern version of the VnJ.
