ICE agents

February 17, 2026 by Guest Post

by Charles Sleath, Hamilton

I was just wondering. How many persons that were arrested at the January 6th insurrection and sent to jail and then pardoned by Trump, are ICE Agents now? Do they get a bounty or reward every time they wrestle someone down and beat them? Do they get more for shooting someone? Do all five or six agents that subdue someone share the reward? Do they get less reward for children? Do D. Trump and Steve Miller get their ideas from watching old TV series like “Wanted Dead or Alive,” featuring Steve McQueen or “The Rifleman” with Chuck Connors? The Rifleman shot at least three people an episode and he wasn’t even the Sheriff! I was just wondering!

    This disgusting letter tells us everything we need to know about your mental health problems. People like you do not belong in a decent, law abiding, society. I’m sorry to know that you live in our community.

      Do you deny that they shot a man, a U.S. citizen, in the back about 10 times while he was face down on the ground? Or that they yelled at a woman, another US citizen, to get the F#$K out of there and then shot her in the face as she turned her car away from them?

        Two people stupidly interfered with law enforcement and were shot as a result. Shame on them for making that decision and putting themselves in harms way.

          Even if I agreed with your assessment that they “interfered with law enforcement” (the man was coming to assist a woman that had been shoved to the ground by your heroic ICE agents), is that a crime punishable by death, without a trial? I guess you would have been OK with all the Jan. 6th people who assaulted law enforcement being executed on the spot? I’m sure you have no problem with that Ashley Babbitt being shot, right? Shame on her for putting herself in harms way, right?

        Your first U.S. Citizen Was an unhinged brainwashed radical who attacked ICE agents physically and verbally twice and brought a gun to a protest. He deserved everything he got as did Renee’ Good who tried to run over an ice agent hospitalizing him. Turn the channel and do some research.

          Wow, it’s so incredibly sad that you believe that ICE agents are judge, jury, and executioners. It’s very hard for us to not to believe what we saw with our own eyes, but it seems some people in our community don’t understand that.

          Peacefully protesting, which both of them were (if you can count driving down the street as protesting), is protected by the 1st amendment. Carrying a licensed gun, wether at a protest or not, is protected by the second amendment. Exactly what laws did these people break that justified a public execution (or even an arrest)? Or are constitutional rights only for some people in this country, people you happen to agree with now (until you don’t, if you’re capable of independent thought).

          Very bold of you to come out against both the 1st and 2nd amendments in one online post. The NRA might want a word with you about that. Or maybe you haven’t completely thought things through?

            They were not even Remotely close to Peaceful. You must have heard this from the guy on CNN who during the George Fraud Riots was standing in front of a multitude of “Protestor” set fires engulfing buildings and called the Protests “Peaceful”.
            Renee’ Good and the other moron were unhinged leftist trained agitators. (paid by the way). They got what they deserved.
            Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. they were far from “Peaceful”

          Cav, you’re clearly delusional and living in your own world. Where do you get your news, the My Pillow guy? There’s no point in even attempting to introduce you to a little reality, so I’m not going to bother.

    This is brilliant. You should make a treatment for a TV program that is all true like the news CNN reports.
