A driver fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS said the border patrol agents were "conducting immigration enforcement operations" near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots.

DHS also said people nearby threw a paint can and bricks at the agents' vehicles.

If not Nazis, then why Nazi shaped?

“Customs and Border Patrol”.

You mean ICE? Someone took shots at ICE while they were in the middle of a randomized deportation?

[–] DaMummy@lemmy.world 96 points 1 week ago (1 children)

CBP is actually even worse than ICE. They're a lot more militarized. That Chicago apartment building that was raided with an Apache helicopter, with little kids being put into handcuffs, that was actually CBP.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

CBP's operation zone is ridiculous too. They're "border patrol" but they can work deep into the country.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

They are limited to 100 miles from the border, but "the border" counts the shoreline, so in reality 2/3 of the population is in that zone.

I've heard that courts have ruled that airports count as "the border" too. So anywhere within 100 miles of an airport. So basically anywhere in the country.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

You heard incorrectly. Every source I've seen did not include airports.

Don't they also count international airports as "the border?" Which changes that number to something like 99.9% of the population.

[–] AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Yes yes it does

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Except the Great Lakes are mostly part of America. Lake Michigan is completely inside The United States, so Illinois is nowhere near the Canadian border.

Chicago isn’t a border city, it’s a coastal city.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

O’Hare is a national hub. Meaning it’s an entry point to the US, so technically a “border”.

You misspelled "abduction"

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Surprisingly, actually two different agencies. You have CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) which do - customs and border patrol, and ICE (Migration and customs enforcement) which do - mostly immigration stuff.

Sounds like they might not be wanted or something

Could the mythological good guy with a gun be real?

[–] Stegget@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Big if true

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 week ago

Is there proof of this outside of their words it happened? I don't believe just their claim alone. They have every reason to lie and not much in the way of morals to refrain.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If someone says this happened, just say "fake news".

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 35 points 1 week ago

and "crisis actors"

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A black Jeep? I saw them, they were driving in a blue BMW down to the harbor. Yes, a green Toyota, why do you ask?

[–] shane@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

Be careful. Lying to police can get you sent to prison for a long time.

Saying nothing is a better option.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

They and ice lie a lot. Every word a lot.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone must have mistaken them for criminals.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Is it a mistake if you accidentally wind up at the truth?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago

crisis actors making up fake stories

whiny little terrorists begging for attention

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Gestapo probably made it up. False flag to justify more crimes against the people

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Other possibilities include them shooting at citizens or shadowpeople (I'm not here to judge ICE and their use of the drug with the same name) and scaring each other real bad. Then someone has a video of it, and they gotta write a report somehow.

I best do numerous roly poly's then unload my gun into my car whilst shouting "shots fired".
Meanwhile my partner, who is across the road, will also shoot at the car for...reasons?
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE!

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Aah need an amblance

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

according to the department of homeland security

So, this definitely didn't happen.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most likely "friendly fire".

If you know anything about who did this, no you fucking don't.

Oh no. Anyway.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago

Bruh, if they weren't doing anything wrong, then ppl wouldn't be shooting at them. 🤷

[–] KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

The shooter got mustard and onions EVERYWHERE!

nothing stops things from happening quite as well as posting the “it’s happening” meme….

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 20 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised it took this long until they just said they were the target of shootings... It's not like the trump fascist regime shies away from lying on anything else.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Lets see ice has so far shot and killed a man and riddled a woman in bullets who somehow survived against all odds and then some randos finally took some pot shots at them. Still kinda seems one sided.

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

A crocodile smiled at me earlier today so I totally believe this actually happened for real I do.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

The nice citizens were helping the lost border agents go back to the FUCKING BORDER!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Be safe out there, it’s acorn season.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago

Well, if the DHS says so.... 🙄

The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike.

The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would've had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.

If you aren't in a union (or even if you are, it's worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you'll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one, as most unions have a strike fund that can supplement your income during a general strike to make it more financially bearable (you should also save as much money as you can reasonably do, so it can also be used to keep yourself afloat during a strike).

And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn't listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above, and they'll help you set up a new local branch.
