ICE & migrant encounters in NYC

[Indus]

So a year ago I was accused of lying about the shopping cart mafia since no pics, not in the news..

Well you wont find this in the news either as even after 2 days.. not a peep in the media!

Location:

Lefferts Blvd between 95th and 97th Ave in Queens, New York,
Saturday Jun 14, 2025


Heresay:

ICE and police wanted to catch someone in a car.
Target instead decided to speed away in his Nissan and run a red light. (maybe a couple)
Hit a car's rear trying to pass it, which caused him to roll over and hit 2 more cars on the other side of the street.
The target got out and abandoned his car and just ran, where as while ICE followed him.. the NYPD had to make the cars leaking gas didn't start a major fire.

What I saw with my own eyes:

Street was blocked and I was curious. Apparently I got there after 3-5 minutes.. then the NYPD vehicles showed up to rightside up the vehicle and push it off to the side, put sand on the gasoline and open up the street to traffic












Try and stay safe guys and avoid getting hit by crazy drivers!

Sucks for the innocent peeps.. hope they have comprehensive insurance but I doubt it!

All I got out of this is the confirmation that Nissan drivers are the worst drivers.

That and I was supposed to try some trini food from that area.

The wife and I were in the neighborhood because we wanted sicilian on the way home. There's a good place we like there!

P.S. agreed on the Nissan!

So in your opinion how newsworthy is this?

1. Local neighborhood level
2. Metro local news
3. Statewide news
4. National news

"Shopping cart mafia"

I have no idea what this refers to. Want to give some context?

/Shrug..

But I'm comparing it to the pushback I received on migrant shopping cart mafia at home depot when I was called a liar because "it was not in the news!"

They're probably editing their posts now.. since it doesn't fit their narrative anymore.

It's a car wreck, they happen all the time. This isn't particularly newsworthy, just weird nativist stuff.

Are you saying migrants are a problem, shopping carts were proof then, and this is proof now?

The best part is he decided to make a post about a not particularly notable event and then based on hearsay decided this validates his nativist views.

Just baffling. Immigration is GREAT. We need way, way more of it.

*some* migrants.. yes. I dunno 1% 0.1% but some.. definitely.

What pissed me off is I was accused of lying and manufacturing lies to support MAGA..

Where the fuck do I have nativist views?

Uhm, in the thread you proudly just linked to?

There's a big difference inbetween being nativist (going full MAGA retard) and just acknowledging stuff is changing on the ground, and dems might lose because of it.

Car wreck in a borough of 2.3 million people not newsworthy, what is this world coming to?!?
But somebody said ICE and the police wanted to catch whoever was in that car! Obviously it was a migrant(?)

I'd think most migrants wouldn't be out of their minds driving cars in urban environments. That and road rage in general is a more a US born kind of thing.
