ICE agents chased out of Starbucks—citizens yell "We want coffee with no ice!"

"ICE agents separate families," people shout.

"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

"You should not be comfortable going anywhere—you should not be able to sleep at night."

Agents slink back to car where other agents wait for them—empty handed.

Crowd follows them the whole way yelling:
"Shame! Shame! Shame!"

Incident occurred at a Starbucks location in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

ICE Out of NJ doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Maybe there’ll 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 I’d miss my frosty root beer.

Forget the ones that show us who they are……gotta watch out for the “normal” ones. And those two guys just didn’t belong here. But others might belongs here. Just gotta watch out. Just waiting for the orange piece of shit………

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.

...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.

I didn't reformat it, so apologies.

ICE agents chased out of Starbucks-citizens yell "We
want coffee with no ice!"
"ICE agents separate families," people shout.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!"
"You should not be comfortable going anywhere-you
should not be able to sleep at night."
Agents slink back to car where other agents wait for
them-empty handed

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm noticing it's women who are putting their bodies out front in the fight between fascists and democracy.

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.
