#RUSES
Please share: ICE uses ruses to gain access to people AND to get information about their targets from community members. Know your rights. Know that you don’t have to answer ANY questions by any type of law enforcement. Don’t help ICE! #UnmaskICE

Billionaire Chris Rokos must be hoping he gets better advice on his offshore flit to Greece than he has on previous tax ruses.

When Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents go to homes and the community to arrest non-citizens, it’s common for them to lie about who they are and what they want from the individuals they encounter.

The lies are called “ruses.”

I post the above not to downplay what ICE is doing but to emphasize that “ICE ruses” are nothing new. In fact, that ICE is using them is arguably a sign that the agency is shifting away from the more aggro Bovino-style tactics and back to their old ones.

This fact sheet is a decade old!

If you're curious to learn more, check out the incredible @immdefenseproject.bsky.social resource on ICE ruses, which they've been updating for more than a decade. I remember being so grateful it existed when the situation above happened to my client, because it validated my "WTF" to the situation.

the thing about putting dumb horny straight white guys in charge of everything - a state that Hegseth et al are furiously attempting to return to - is that they are the easiest people on Planet Earth to manipulate by means of blindingly obvious ruses

Forget the journalistic frustration for people like me and Carole that most ignored the Banks revelations, Russian links and Cottrell PayPal ruses, 7 or 8 years ago. More important is that Farage doubled up with his double dealings in the years since, because of sense of impunity

speaking of half-baked ruses from cheap heist flicks…

Tactics ICE uses

Isn’t impersonating a police officer a crime?? Apparently, they’re telling people they are the police.

Ugh! Patches tricked me again! Why do I keep falling for his ruses

The scariest Nazi Germany-adjacent thing happening right now is the courts treating the Trump administration's legal-ish justifications for power grabs, subversion of basic rights, and militarism as good-faith legal arguments, despite overwhelming evidence that those justifications are ruses.

This might be obvious information for many, but this detailed breakdown of how ICE ruses was really helpful for me.

nazis used to go out of their way to show how "humane" the conditions were in their camps, staging elaborate ruses to dispel the "myth" that their prisoners were treated harshly. now, they go out of their way to show just how sick and depraved they actually are — for the likes.

it's so fucked up that people are falling for our ruses

12/ Putin is a cunning but evil actor. He will continue to employ ruses like this to continue his war because he feels that he can still win it. We need to convince him otherwise. End.
