    Wishing does not make it so. This is so obviously fake. Why should the cartels give the US reason to go to open war on them?

    Sounds like propaganda.

    Cartels tend to be relatively cautious on US soil and make a genuine effort to avoid generating heat. There is limited benefit for them to get engaged in something like this especially considering the politically sensitive nature of targeted ICE specifically.

    It’s not impossible for one or two individuals to “take matters in their own hands”, but I can’t see this being a blanket policy inmplented by senior leaders of multiple cartel groups.

    Lol, this is just them trying to justify them hiding their faces, not wearing badges, refusing to identify themselves, and taking the license plates off their cars.

    Definitely not true.

    This is bullshit in the technical sense. It’s not a lie, in the sense of hoping to deceive another with a known falsehood. It’s speech uttered without any regard to whether it’s true or not.

    This just some bullshit nazis are spouting because they think they’ll benefit by saying it.

    Nah, that’s not how its done. Saying they put a bounty on ICE is something a 10 year old would believe … or a MAGA supporter.

    Doubtful.

    ICE, CBP, and DHS have all drastically scaled back any activity against actual criminals.

    They’re going after the easiest targets possible, the cartels are probably loving trump. All he’s doing is driving a wedge between governments and giving them more opportunities

      Probably a lie to prime their supporters for when they push people far enough and one of them does get shot. They can claim the cartels are out of control and we need martial law to stop them.

    I’m pretty sure they’re facing this resistance due to their thuggery when carrying out congress-passed laws.

    ICE could be doing their job by helping immigrants navigate and fill out paperwork and educating new immigrants; instead they’re pepper bombing pastors standing in front of their offices praying for them.
