Honestly, how is the average person supposed to tell the difference between a federal raid and gang activity?
Right now, they're effectively the same thing.

That graphic missed an opportunity for "thank you for your attention in this matter"
Probably a good idea for California to loosen the gun laws (even if just temporary). The only reason they think they can get away with this shit is because they know nobody's going to shoot back.
You can’t and should react accordingly.
Easy, Did you end up in a basement or a death camp?
The gangsters have a moral code.
So they are just gonna ask DHS and ICE nicely to comply? Doesn't seem like something this administration is big on doing.
They're probably more worried about liability if someone got hurt in the back of a truck like that.
That's literally all they care about
At least, that’s acceptable cover from any MAGA backlash if they have to blacklist ICE for “violating the terms of use.”
They can very easily cut ties with them and refuse to rent to them. They just have to have political pressure from the populace to do so.
Idk man, I've seen quite a few people arguing against these cunts and they don't really seem to care that what they're doing is completely illegal and inhumane.
So aside from violently resisting a literal gang of armed thugs in fighting gear, what the fuck are you gonna do if you can't run away?
And I don't really see any court accepting some John Wick type of dude blowing heads off hundreds of ICE agents either, even if they are illegally kidnapping people.
I can only wish
I mean boycotts do work. Penske losing business over this might help.
As does tossing the stinkiest canned fish/egg products you can find into the back of rental vehicles crammed with sweaty fascists wearing unwashable body armor on a hot day.
"Are we gonna dress as cops or Nazis this time?"
It literally happened like a couple months ago when a bunch of white supremacists used a penske truck to try and crash the "No Kings Protest" i believe. There was a video of a bunch of protestors heckling them into going back into the truck and driving off. I guess the difference now is that they work for the government
Same same.
Something about nazis and rental trucks.
"First, they rented the box trucks, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't moving that week."
That violates the rental agreement they signed by having passengers in the rear. Also no seatbelts. Insurance adjustment needed.
Now that I think about it, start calling Penske locations(not partner locations) asking if you can move people in the trucks and how much insurance would be. Mention seeing this video.
despite court order halting raids
Why haven't they been arrested for the contempt of court?
ACAB is why
Operation Trojan Horse
Wow, real creative. I bet the chuds that came up with that were patting themselves on the back
Yeah, I bet those boys were proud.
Not a very good metaphor, either. A Trojan horse is supposed to be something willingly taken in somewhere, not just something hiding people inside. This is about as Trojan horse as a windowless pedo van.
Someone needs to make a side by side photo to really highlight the similarities
Will this same trick work for these fuckers?
Thanks. For people who don't like videos here is the gist:
If you see this happening and you're a local call 911, or get a local to. Not police but 911, and report a crime in progresssay you "saw people getting into a vehicle with weapons and no seat belts at this location." And this is like a magic code to summon the cops to actually do their jobs. The point is to make them cite all these nazis and that means getting identification, usually cops put the ID in front of the bodycam.
Basically the goal is the hinder these fucks in their work but most importantly strip them of their anonymity so that they face the social and legal consequences.
Thanks for the link and I hope my summary did it justice. I just am not a video person but this was good I wanted to reach people who wouldn't click.
Thanks for the summary! I was about to skip it since it is a video a then saw your summary 👍
Thank you for doing that! Much better job than I could have done, spot on
Why is "and no seatbelts" important?
Probably due to many states having "buckle-up" laws for safety. You can be charged if passengers aren't secured, some states even require the back seat to buckle up, so 20 guys in the back of an unsecured truck is a no-no and means someones getting fined. And of course the gov needs money so they're gonna fine mfs who don't follow.
Start flooding the Penske twitter and social media and ask them why they are taking part in these illegal raids. At the least Penske and others should ban the government from renting their trucks
They already denounced federal agencies for using their trucks in that way
I’ve maintained a mentality of Erasmus for so long; reform from within. I’ve commented before how unrealistic it is for CA/PNW secession. I’m now a huge proponent of it. Our last Civil War was fought over ‘states rights’. We’re seeing these rights absolutely demolished because of this administration. Our judicial system is flaunted, and our nation guard turned against us. We’ve been deprived of trade via tariffs, our tech is now (rightfully) spurned by our ‘allies’. CA has the largest GDP of the union (and 4th in the world) we need to make that felt.
Serious question: are the opening handles for a box truck designed in a way that I could just wedge a stick somewhere to trap them?
Absolutely. There's a swinging lever block that can be locked in the down position, but if you stuck a half-inch stick in the lock clasp, it wouldn't swing up to release the lever. A snap-clip would work better.
This is horrible and hilarious. They’re such a joke.
A really bad joke with guns and authority from the president. You're right, horrible and hilarious. Mostly horrible.
Hey there, you have a federal agency not respecting the law! Why are you still in your fucking homes?!
Do something, before it is to late:
Yes the drug dealers and other dangerous hidden criminals at home depot!
These guys look real hungry, somebody should open a can of Surströmming and toss it in the back of that truck to help nourish these poor jackboots.

The strange thing is that Trump is so focused on deportation that he is even easily being played.
For example he started to love the German Chancellor Merz after he told Trump he would deport more people too... he increased the number from 190 to 202 people per month. Most of them were sitting in jail for various crimes and would have been deported after their sentence anyway but it was enough to impress Trump.
Or the fact that the EU promised to invest 600 billion over the next ten years in the US... which is actually a lot less than they invested before.
Or the tarrifs... the EU might not take tariffs but has put so much paperwork on US imports it becomes almost impossible to import stuff from the US into the EU directly.
Lets face it, Trump does this for the clicks, not for Realpolitik and is being played by Realpoliticians like a piano.
