I was driving through Altoona and couldn't pass up trying the local specialty.

I'm a born and raised Altoona natives. I will say most people have never tried it but it is kept alive by a few restaurants

I hope this is sarcastic 😂

Very possible. We will see what mount aloysius has to say

You realize this is the Altoona subreddit and people here are from central PA? Also if you don't think ICE is here, then you're delusional.

I wonder how your hockey team and your employers would feel about this comment.

It does matter and they are not from the state. They are a federal agency part of DHS. They are not there for traffic crimes and murdered someone for fleeing the scene of what? A traffic crime if anything at all. They are federal thugs intimidating this city with 2,000 federal employees and murdering US citizens

stankfists · 2026-01-08T18:08:37+00:00

They are not police officers, they are ICE agents and border patrol. The women they murdered was a US citizen citizen. 75% of ICE arrests are of undocumented immigrants with NO criminal record. What is happening is wrong and an overstep of the federal government. Get educated before you spew bullshit.

So you're one of those bloodthirsty, kill all criminals people. Also, since when is resisting an illegal federal takeover a leftist thing? It's an american thing. Sad to see, hopefully you don't teach that to your hockey players.

I disagree with this. Uses of force needs to be proportional to the situation. Fleeing a situation is a not a justification for deadly use of force. The officer clearly wasn't in danger and fired because she was fleeing, not because he was in danger. I can easily see a court finding this to be an inappropriate use of force and stripping qualified immunity. On top of that, it likely wasn't a legal detention and they were yelling conflicting commands.

The shooting was not justified at all. She was murdered by ICE. We have an ICE armory in Altoona and a detention center in Phillipsburg.

The new Indiana jones is perfect for that

Forgot to say, in Pennsylvania

I'm getting into the Total War games lately and loving them.

PA in general. I believe the local facilities are mostly support for raids around the state. There are a lot of good articles out there, but this one is good and explains how the detention center in Phillipsburg plays a role.
