(467 posts)Maybe therell be a rally boycott. No ICE. Suspend our use of icy beverages as a protest. A second thought occurred- the savings in energy would be monumental, but in this heat dome Id miss my frosty root beer.

Just playing. It would be suicide this summer.

(9,160 posts)Locals who see what exactly? What pegs these guys as ICE rather than just a couple of non-local guys buying coffee? I'm not being argumentative, I'm genuinely curious.

(9,160 posts)...and I'm still not seeing what identities these two men as ICE agents. Also, it's Twitter (or X, or whatver) and I tend to question most things that I see there.

(36,172 posts)Did you do a search for yourself to try and verify the location?

Here's what my search turned up:
The town is home to an active ICE office located on Church Road. The presence of this federal facility distinguishes Mount Laurel as an administrative hub for immigration enforcement in the region, which may contribute to local awareness of ICE activities.
Back to my original assertion. They're locals.

(9,160 posts)OK, that might explain it but when it comes to social media where people post stuff for "likes" I don't necessarily take a video at face value and whoever posted this one could have provided more context.

(9,160 posts)In my opinion it's not all there. This could still very well be something that was staged during a slow period at this Starbucks. I'm still questioning it. It's TWITTER.

(36,172 posts)Basing a final decision on a single parameter and forgoing further information while isolating that single parameter as an ultimate decision maker is something that I will probably never agree with.
I prefer a gestalt view.
Have a good evening.

(9,160 posts)I'm questioning something that I see on a questionable site. You have a good evening also.

Very active democratic and liberal area. I imagine they knew. Look up the Mt Laurel doctrine. 👇

(11,898 posts)The answer is they're probably ogling the trans baristia, but shouldn't they be drinking coffee grounds from the local bait n guns, LIKE REAL MEN DO?
Funny to me the only way to get a decent cup of coffee in JERSEY, is to NOT be a total asshole.
