ICE Agent Fled From Angry Residents Outside New York School — and Got in a Car Crash
theintercept.com
Masked and unidentified ICE agents lurking near schools sparked fear, confusion, and a car crash in Latino-heavy New York suburbs.

Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.

In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.

One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)

    My wife just got declared to be colon cancer free. It was a close thing. Can we go with wishing some other cause of death on them? Maybe a fire? Or multiple stab wounds?

      I watched most of the people i love die of cancer.

      I feel like it’s pretty much what they deserve.

      I hope they die of treatable cancer, because no doctor will touch them. That would hurt worse. I’ve been on the edge of death a couple times, and the ones where nobody could have helped didn’t hurt emotionally anywhere near as bad as the ones where anybody could have fixed it.

      Honestly, I get you. After watching my wife have a stroke, I feel the same way. I was just parroting an edgy joke.

        “Edgy”, that’s it! Wood chipper, cutting themselves while shaving, falling onto a scythe, whatever… as long as it involves an edge!

        But you… I hope you die at age 249 after breaking the record for most orgasms, then pass away peacefully in your sleep surrounded by loved ones and soft animals… (the animals were not involved in the prior activity)

        I drove an aunt to the hospital with a minor stroke. It was terrible and horrible. Terror. Horror.

        Know that a random guy wishes you and your wife the best.

      You’d better stick with a different choice, no sense tempting an evil rebound. But I think I’m gonna start casting colon cancer on orangeface fatfuck. Maybe a few massive blood clots to go with it. Why can you never find a lump of polonium when you need it?

      My wife is in recovery from burns after I stabbed her and set fire to her boyfriend’s apartment.

      Can we go back to colon cancer?

        not so fun fact, non healing burns/scars /wounds are known to cause rare form of skin cancer(agressive SCC), yess squamous cell cancer can be quite deadly, if it forms from a burn scar.
