One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.

They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.

    Can you give me more information about federal agents doing sex trafficking?

      Well, President Musk has been accused of helping Epstein’s trafficking, we know for sure that his Oval Office puppet was involved.

        Your argument is that because Trump and Musk engage in sex trafficking personally that “federal agents” do more broadly.

        Searching online for “federal agent sex trafficking,” I see a news article from a few years ago that undercover federal agents purchased sex from a victim during an investigation; that’s about all.

        I read the comment from [email protected] and thought, “Yeah, I’d believe that the Venn diagram of POS people that get into sex trafficking and POS people that want to be ICE agents has a pretty large overlap.” ICE is a black hole. People go in and disappear, until months later ICE representatives inform the next of kin they died in custody. But I feel like the amount of human rights violations that get reported by ICE pales in comparison to the ones that get swept under the rug. Especially now, with Trump’s 2nd coming. It could be bad, like the eurocentric world hasn’t seen in a long time. I guess my hat is tinfoil colored.
