They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads. Let that sink in and realize what they really are, because it’s not a force for immigration enforcement, it’s an army simping for Trump. They will be weaponized at a much greater scale in the future certainly.
More accurately, its preparation for martial law in November. Any US citizen who thinks there will be free and fair elections is not paying attention. The regime are not leaving power willingly.
Time is running out for nation wide general strikes …
No shit, ya don’t give em the largest budget of any enforcement agency and expect them not to spend it, right?
“Trump is building up a well-funded, poorly trained paramilitary force that could easily take on a life of its own,” Brooks explained. “Once you have a massive moneymaking machine ginned up, it’s hard to reverse course and turn off the spigot.”
Doge them, immediately. Take the guns first, go through due process second. Let that sink in, Thank You for your attention to this MATTER.
Raw Story already stretches the truth for clicks. You’re here just making completely unsubstantiated claims. They are doing more than enough heinous shit without people mudding the waters with lies.
In response to the article itself, which references a 360% increase in weapons spending, ICE more than doubled the number of agents it employs. I wish they wouldn’t, but they seem to think that all of these untrained traitors need weapons. It makes sense that they would have a massive increase in weapons purcheses to outfit the new traitors and the future traitors they’re hoping to hire.
This is a non-story for the most part and you don’t need to add lies to it.
I agree there’s no need to exaggerate.
But it is worrying anyway. It’s very much play-by-play from Hitler’s playbook.
Suppress opposition while getting a force which simps for you and challenges normal authorities.
Your smarm and pedantry is noted, but:
-
It was widely reported that ICE was acquiring warheads months ago. As others here pointed out, that (might) not be exactly correct because of confusion about item numbers on invoices. I was unaware there had been updates to that news.
-
The article isn’t “making completely unsubstantiated claims” at all. They’re referencing Adam Schiff’s report on this activity.
-
It’s quite a LARGE story, actually. This is very clearly Trump’s Private army now, and he’s creating slush funds all over the place to keep them funded for a time in case official funding gets cut off. This new report details just how many weapons they have amassed, and it’s shocking. This is the largest deployed paramilitary force on US soil, they are controlled by Trump, and they have enough Guns and Ammo to take over a small country.
-
Just because YOU think it’s a “non-story” doesn’t mean anyway all. In fact, nobody asked you. I certainly don’t think we were waiting on baited breath for your personal opinion on it either. Your feelings on it are actually not needed.
Others may not have known, or probably should know this information, and that’s why it’s posted. Didn’t need your opinion or permission on that, champ. ✌️
- A quick search brings up nothing with ICE and “warheads” so it doesn’t appear to be “widely reported”. Can you give evidence for your claims?
- I didn’t say that the article is making unsubstantiated claims. I said that you are. The article is substantiated, it just isn’t all that surprising that ICE is spending more on weaponry as they hire more agents.
- The story says nothing about slush funds or anything beyond ICE spending more on weaponry.
- You are posting in a public forum. That is explicitly asking for conversation and feedback, even if you didn’t directly ask me for mine. If you don’t want people to respond, don’t post.
Does this article also mention Rachel Good or Alex Pretti? No? This article wasn’t about that.
Because it’s assumed it was common knowledge. It’s not uncommon practice to refer to other referential pieces of information in a description.
And as someone else in the thread pointed out, there may have been some clarification on this after the reporting: https://www.wired.com/story/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-missile-warheads/
Since younfamiliar with the slush funds: https://www.vox.com/politics/479821/trumps-slush-fund-venezuela-oil-gaza-board-of-peace-tariffs https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/politics/trump-shutdown-tariffs-wic-farmers-analysis https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/opinion/trump-federal-money-slush-fund.html https://newrepublic.com/post/206790/donald-trump-10-billion-dollars-board-peace-slush-fund

what in the fuck would an immigration agency need with missiles of any kind?
what in the actual fuck
Because they’re not an immigration agency, they are a certain twatwaffle’s personal bully party. An inept, untrained, pathetic bunch of tiny dicks. The brown shirts, if you will.
valid
The article makes no mention of any missile or warhead, only op speaks about that, be careful.
yeah that’s a bit odd
Not one mention. Why you lying op? There’s plenty of bad shit in here without lying
What are you even talking about?
Missiles dude
They went from asscrack hanging out their dad jeans to looking ready to drop into the middle of a war zone.
They will be the secret police, spying, arresting, torturing and killing dissidents. In Portugal, during the Estado Novo regime, the secret police of Salazar’s regime, PIDE, also began with the merging of two immigration and border control agencies.
Fucking doomer bullshit propaganda.
Fascists whole fucking game plan is to make you feel like the walls have closed in and you’re powerless to fight.
That is literally all this thread is. You’re either brainwashed or a propaganda cell.
Tagging so many accounts as “sus doomer” in this thread. It’s good to see so many folks also calling this shit out, but for real… Lemmy has a fucking doormer problem and it is rampant.
It’s a report from Schiff’s office. How is that “Doomer”?
Where does the report say they have acquired missiles and warheads?
Previously reported
You’re either controlled opposition or brainwashed by propaganda.
There isn’t really a middle ground here.

From the outside looking in it looks like things have gone too far for the american population to do anything now. You are fucked, by the looks of it.
If there were protests and general strikes done at the start of all this, well, terrorism then it wouldn’t have got to this point.
“But how were we to know?” Well, apart from all the history of dictatorships, all the many signs it was going to be a dictatorship, the fat child raping cunt himself saying he was going to be a dictator from day one, and thousands and thousands of people saying it then, ha, ‘nothing’.There’ll try to rewrite it all that the orange kiddie fiddler was innocent but, fortunately, the rest of the world will know the truth. Basically, to his are fucked but history will not be kind to the Donvict Drumpf and some of his enablers.
