ICE and Amazon?
I need to get the word out and I need help making the right contacts. I have first hand knowledge about everything I am stating.
First: Last week ICE raided a PA Amazon whse for imigrant truck drivers. They waited until the parking had filled up within the gates of the facility and a line had formed outside the gate waiting to drop their loads. It was night time and they knew exactly when the drivers would be lined up. I was not onsite but work with people that were. This is what I was told went down. ICE agents entered the gated parking area and as soon as they did the gates were closed to trap driver's inside. In one of our trucks, a driver jumped out and ran, climbing the fence in an attempt to get away. Our other truck was outside the fence and both drivers abandoned their truck to flee the area. Even dispatch was tramatized by what happened to the drivers after talking with the ones they could get hold of.
The second situation I am concerned about giving too much information at this time. I will share the below facts and hopefully someone can help me figure out what to do with the proof. I have made assumptions on what is going on but I won't put information out that I cannot confirm. What I need is someone, a journalist or a person in the democratic party, that can research this deeper and confirm what is happening.
-
Amazon has government contracts around the country to transport items between their facilities. I found this link to prove that Amazon has government contracts. https://executivegov.com/articles/top-government-contracts-won-by-amazon-web-services#:~:text=In%20July%202021%2C%20the%20National,an%20estimated%20%2410%20billion%20contract.
-
The number of loads our company has moved has increased the past month. (personal experience)
-
Drivers are sent to pickup but never do and their phones go to voicemail and the loads get removed from the company. (personal experience)
-
Facial recognition is being used and the drivers must confirm their identity before they are allowed to leave the facility. If they cannot pass facial recognition, they cannot leave with a load. (you can google this and see proof. This was discussed in reddit two years ago as well)
-
The loads are overweight. The drivers do not know what they are pulling because there is no paperwork with descriptions or list of items. (personal experience)
-
The loads are preloaded and sealed and dropped sealed instead of being unloaded while the drivers are onsite. (have documentation)
-
There is a government "Site Planning" facility near the drop location. There is no FEMA facilities in the state per FEMA's website. This is in the south so I thought perhaps it was build up for huricane season, but that did not pan out. (can back this up once I have a contact)
The city the trucks are picking up in is not a military area that I am aware of. This is a build up of some sort, but what I am not sure. What I want help with is to find out. I am worried about drivers that can be picked up when going into an Amazon facility. I am worried about what exactly are the supplies being brought into the southern states for. I have more information I am willing to share with the right contact.
I realize I have not cited sources on everything, that is because I am the source and I have the proof. I am new to posting here, so I am trying to figure it out. I tried posting this in other like minded groups but autoadmin took it down.
FYI - because of the nature of this information and the history of reddit global mods siding with government and executing their own political biases I took the liberty of running this post through an archival tool.

You’re the real one. Thank you.
Contact Meidas Touch.
I second this, they’ve been very informative and blunt. They also have a large audience.
Thank you for sharing. You made a brave decision to post this and I hope you stay safe. I'm looking forward to hearing what comes out from this.
This time the drivers were locked in with ICE, next time it might be unidentified guys with body armor and weapons locked in with the drivers.

My serious suggestion is that AWS, Amazon Web Services, controls SO many servers that any email will go thru an Amazon server.
Try to communicate with journalists thru US mail ONLY !
Newspapers all have tip lines to call or send them messages.
Suggest New York Times
Suggest Rolling Stone magazine.
Hey, Steven King used it in Firestarter.
His worlds make more sense now, anyway.
Suggest ProPublica or Wired
I absolutely don’t doubt there is some seriously shady shit going on with ICE, certainly, and no surprise Amazon, too…but, “first hand knowledge” is not the same as, “I wasn’t there but my coworker told me.” Someone you work with telling you something that happened when you weren’t there isn’t first hand knowledge.
I hate what our government is doing to so many people in this country. The ethnic cleansing and white supremacy has to be stopped, absolutely! I’d rather be trapped in a room with an immigrant than a white supremacist any day.
I’d suggest reaching out to your congressman and house representatives as well as investigate journalists. And take pictures, recordings, or gather other evidence.
Especially if the immigrant is a Salma Hayek lookalike. I’d be happy. She’d be disappointed. I’d still break any of them out if possible. I would have to go way back into my old life but I trained to and did take out bad guys with extreme prejudice.
Of course the representatives will only count if they are democrats. The other ones are fascists at this point making money off trumps shit
The crazy part of all this is that at least in our area Amazon is always short drivers. My step son has been let go from one contractor and hired by another all in the same building. But in the end unless AI is coming to that level where they won’t need drivers, they aren’t going to have enough people.
This isn't first hand knowledge if your coworker is telling you this info. If you were actively there while it was happening then it would be.
What do you think they are bringing? I understand they are going after them but I'm trying to figure what more they could be doing
Oh the south is preparing to rise again
I hope those jobs go back to hard working Americans thank you for your reporting
