    **BREAKING NEWS!!! **

    During their normal everyday job of forcibly arresting, and murdering random innocent civilians at gunpoint, ICE agents have been reportedly been heard using BAD WORDS!

    This type of language is not appropriate for upstanding employees of the government, and drastic corrective action must be taken to curb the use of this dangerous language while they are on the job.

    After a June raid at Home Depot in Hollywood, body camera footage captured an agent saying: “There was a guy, I’m pretty sure he’s wet he was just sitting in that minivan.” A text chain revealed an agent referring to “tonks everywhere selling food” — using a word reportedly derived from the sound an agent’s utility flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head. In a video, an agent said, “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.”

    The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    “Tonk.” I bet they get a little special feeling saying it, too. Verbally confirming the power they have and can’t wait to use, the power to be violent without consequence, to not even treat these people as humans, to hurt them in exchange for a fleeting adrenaline surge and the ability to brag about it to other half-wits.

    It’s crazy to imagine how much faith in humanity I had back in 2014 compared to what I’ve lost by now.
