Minor says ICE took his iPhone, later found in used-electronics vending machine

From the article: "Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center. The footage, which ProPublica has reviewed, backed the family’s account of the chase."

The disturbing part isn’t that bad encounters happen — it’s that these techniques are officially banned, yet keep showing up across unrelated cases. When policy and on-the-ground behavior diverge this consistently, it stops looking like individual misconduct and starts looking like a systems problem.
stanislavb•3w ago
Oh, there's a systems problem for sure. I thought it's obvious to everyone.
adrr•3w ago
Laws don't matter in the US any more. Epstein files aren't being released even though there is law that requires. TikTok is still operating in the US even though there is law that bans it. Laws are only recommendations now.
scarecrowbob•3w ago
Oh, there are certainly still laws that "matter".

I assure you if you treat an ice agent the way that they treat folks, you will see the application of quite a few laws.

_DeadFred_•3w ago
"For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law" is the motto of tyrants and dictators. And now, the USA.
dsr_•3w ago
The purpose of a system is what it does. ICE is government-sponsored terrorism.

Incorrupt governments follow their own laws.

duxup•3w ago
In Minneapolis there are videos of ICE blocking off residential neighborhoods and going door, demanding ID of residents.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qbawlr/minnea...

These aren’t bad apples, ICE operates without regard to the law by design.

jochem9•3w ago
In the Netherlands we call that a razzia. Very popular in the early 40s.

General warrants (the sort of thing being done here) are explicitly listed as one of the things motivating independence from england in the declaration of independence.
anal_reactor•3w ago
On one hand I'd say you have a reason to panic but on the other it's no secret that in the US might makes right so it's not like the overall situation has changed dramatically.
nextaccountic•3w ago
It's not banned if ICE agents aren't prosecuted when they commit crimes
techbromoment•3w ago
Curious how long it takes for posts like these to be censored once they hit the front page.

Reading some of this reminds me, thank god, we still have a long way to go to be in a death cult administration. Brutal, uncaring, immoral, yea, yes, yes. But not death cult level yet.
tremon•3w ago
And exactly what is standing between now and said death cult regime, other than time?
fjklasfifefj•3w ago
You will have to define death cult.

Wearing skulls on their uniforms? Check. (Punisher symbols)

Disappearing "undesirables" to foreign camps? Check. (CECOT)

Murderous paramilitary brown shirts? Check. (Rene Goode)

Anti-science? Check. Anti-accountability? Check. Nationalistic? Check.

I’m not sure what a used electronics vending machine is, but if find my is enabled on your phone, no one else can ever unlock it
Jeremy1026•3w ago
This article is 95% about chokeholds, and is titled as such, but OP chose to pick out one sentence at the end to editorialize the post title with. None of the content of the article is rosy and it should be shared far and wide, but I was under the impressions post titles should match the headlines or at least the general topic of the linked item?
ChrisArchitect•3w ago
Title is: Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds on U.S. Citizens

ICE has been acting with a twisted rulebook that doesn't follow the law. The best thing Americans could do in protest is to collectively stop paying federal tax as this funds much evil.

As for anyone going door to door, do not open.

pseudohadamard•3w ago
Just remember folks, what ICE really stands for is Imperial Command Enforcement, not whatever euphemism the Trump administration claims it is.
