🚨BREAKING: ICE wrongfully deported a 25-year-old U.S. BORN citizen to Mexico… and he had to SUE the federal government to finally be allowed back into the United States. Brian José Morales García repeatedly told authorities that he was born in Denver. He told them he was an American citizen. He told them he had a birth certificate, and Social Security number, at his home in Austin that he could provide. And they deported him anyway. According to his lawyers, the government deported Brian in April after a police stop near Fredericksburg. His citizenship was questioned, and ICE treated him as someone who had entered the country illegally. Except he was born in the United States. His lawyers later submitted additional evidence, including hospital records, witness affidavits, and a certified Colorado birth record confirming his citizenship. And now, months after the government wrongfully deported him, Brian has finally been allowed to come home. A U.S. citizen had to SUE the federal government, and produce an overwhelming amount of documentation, just to get back into the country he was born in. And this is exactly why the argument that “if you’re a citizen, you have nothing to worry about,” is absolute bullshit. Because what happens when the people with the guns and badges decide they don’t believe you? What happens when saying, “I’m an American citizen…” isn’t enough? What happens when you have to produce your birth certificate, your Social Security number, hospital records and witnesses… and even THAT doesn’t stop the government from deporting you? So, when DHS say, “We won’t deport citizens.” They already have. Brian is proof. And the most terrifying part is that he was lucky enough to have lawyers who could fight like hell to get him back. How many people don’t have that? How many Americans could be detained, deported, or have their lives destroyed because an ICE agent decides they “look undocumented,” and didn’t believe them when they say they’re citizens? That is why racial profiling is so dangerous, why due process matters, and why ICE agents violating constitutional rights puts everyone in danger. And that is why giving federal agents more power, while demanding less accountability, is a dangerous combination. Brian José Morales García was born in America… he told them he was an American... They deported him anyway. And months later, the government finally had to let him come home.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE/Border Patrol agent approached a U.S. citizen at a gas station, in Lake Worth, Florida, demanded his ID, and when the U.S. citizen asked why? … The agent’s said, “Because you’re an immigrant.” Except that is not how the Constitution works. In the video, the U.S. citizen is standing at a gas station when an agent walks up and says, “Let me see your ID.” The man asks a completely reasonable question, “Why?” The agent responds, “Because you’re an immigrant.” And before the man has even been identified, the agents grab his hands and puts him in handcuffs. People standing around immediately start questioning what is happening…asking the agents how they can arrest someone when they haven’t even identified who he is… But the agents ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has held that roving Border Patrol agents need reasonable suspicion, based on specific circumstances, to stop someone and question them about immigration status. And apparent ethnicity, by itself, is not enough. So, what was the actual legal basis for demanding this man show his ID? Because if the answer is literally… “because you’re an immigrant,” that should piss off every American. You should not have to prove you’re a U.S. citizen before the government decides it has the right to put you in handcuffs. And this is just another reminder that constitutional rights don’t mean anything if federal agents can violate them, over and over again, with no accountability.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia. And the excuse? They claimed she “almost ran them over.” Except… she had a dash cam recording the entire thing. She immediately called their bullshit: “You are so full of shit. I didn’t almost run anyone over.” The agent tells her, “You aren’t funny.” She responds, “You aren’t funny.” Then he threatens her… “Keep it up, I will arrest you.” While he has his gun aimed inches away from her. She says, “I’m a legal citizen, for what?” And they keep threatening her with arrest. Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over. So, she tells him, “Run you over when? I have dash cam recording. That’s a lie.” And suddenly… they WALK AWAY. Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong? And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happened… An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest. Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually… especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldn’t… or wouldn’t… back up. She wasn’t arrested. They didn’t show her evidence that she committed a crime. They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them. And the SECOND she says, “I have it on dash cam,” they WALK AWAY. Because apparently the threat disappears when there’s a camera that can prove what actually happened. This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters. Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras. And when they threaten you for asking, “For what?” keep recording.

🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate. In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate. That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager. The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore. Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded. An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights. And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place... Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law. So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.

🚨The Trump Administration said ICE is finding abused, unaccompanied migrant children… but this is what they are doing once they find them… They’re deporting them to countries where they have no family. This week in Chicago, 10 children… ages 12 to 17… appeared in immigration court alone. All had been deemed abandoned by state courts. Six were ordered deported, one child was just 12 years old. His attorney told the judge he had NO caregivers waiting for him in El Salvador. Moments later, the judge ordered him to be deported there. These children aren’t terrorists. They aren’t violent criminals. They are children. Some seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status… a federal protection specifically designed for kids who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. And instead of protecting them, this administration is accelerating their deportation. That means sending vulnerable children back to places where they may have no safe home, no caregiver, and no protection… leaving them homeless, and at risk of exploitation, trafficking, abuse, or even death. There are roughly 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children currently navigating the U.S. legal system, including about 1,000 in the Chicago area. So, when this administration tells you it’s doing all of this to “protect children,” remember what they are actually doing… They are finding vulnerable children, and then deporting them back into the very dangers that they were fleeing from to begin with.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents detained a man because he refused to answer their questions about his immigration status… while he was legally observing and filming them questioning someone ELSE. This man was standing at the front of a business, filming the encounter, when an agent walked over and started questioning HIM. In the video, an ICE agent asks where he’s from. He says Ecuador. The agent asks if he has a visa. The man responds that he has lived in the United States for 45 YEARS. The agent then asks what kind of documentation he has. The man responds, “Do I have to tell you all that?” And the ICE agent says, “No, I’m just asking you.” Okay… so he’s “just asking.” Then, the person filming points out that ICE came into their parking lot, so he’s just filming. And the agent walks away. Then EVERYTHING changes. Two agents walk back toward him, into the business, and tell the person filming, “Come here.” Followed by… “You said you are from Ecuador? You are being detained.” And it appears they then grab him. You can hear the man immediately saying, “I got to get my passport.” Then the video cuts. So, let’s break this down… Telling an ICE agent that you are from Ecuador is not, by itself, reasonable suspicion that you are undocumented. Being born in another country does not mean you are in this country illegally. And refusing to answer an agent’s questions, about your immigration status, doesn’t automatically give them the right to detain you. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable seizures. And when the government stops you, and tells you, “you are being detained,” that is a seizure. There is a HUGE difference between an agent walking up and asking questions, and an agent taking away your freedom. And notice what the agent says BEFORE the detention… “No, I’m just asking you.” So, what changed? The man said he was from Ecuador. He questioned whether he had to answer his questions. And suddenly, he’s being detained. And THIS is exactly why these encounters need to be filmed. Because if an agent can approach a random bystander because he’s filming, start questioning him about his immigration status, and then turn that encounter into a detention after he refuses to answer, we need cameras on all of these interactions. Not just to see what happens when someone is detained… but to see exactly how the agents got there.

🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this. A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her. Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over. Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained. They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle. Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her. He told her he was the “guard.” The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings. They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital. And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention. Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents. And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous. Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents? Just trust them? This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement. This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are. That doesn’t make people safer. It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents walked onto PRIVATE PROPERTY in Brownsville, Texas, without a warrant, with their guns drawn… and then threatened to ARREST the property owner for telling them to get off his own property. In the video, six ICE agents walk onto the property, with guns drawn, and start searching it. The property owner tells them to get off his private property, and they ignore him. Then, they start chase after a man, who starts running, and tackles him. The property owner runs over and tells them… “Get out of here. This is private property.” The ICE agent literally responds, “That doesn’t matter. He was running. Get back.” Then the agent starts SHOVING the property owner backward. The owner tells him, “I live here.” The agent tells him to back up or he’ll be arrested. ON HIS OWN PROPERTY. Then the owner asks, “Where is your warrant?” And the ICE agent says… “We do not need a warrant.” Except… that’s not how the Constitution works. The Fourth Amendment protects civilians from unreasonable searches and seizures. ICE does NOT get to just walk onto private property, guns drawn, search it, and ignore the property owner demanding to know their legal authority… because they claim they saw someone run. And what makes this even more disturbing is that when a U.S. citizen is questioning why armed federal agents are on HIS property, the response is to SHOVE him and threaten to arrest him. Because apparently telling armed federal agents to get off your own property… is now grounds for arrest. This is exactly why people need to be recording every ICE encounter. Because when the people with guns, and badges, refuse to explain what legal authority they have, the video may be the only thing showing what actually happened. The Constitution still applies to ICE. And no badge gives you the right to just assault a U.S. citizen when they demand you get off their property.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet. Afroman had his house raided by Ohio Adam County deputies… who found absolutely nothing… broke his door, trashed his place, allegedly had $400 go missing… and then they refused to pay for the damages. So, like any reasonable rapper would do… He turned his home security footage into music videos, mocking them. And then, the deputies sued him for FOUR MILLION dollars… because they didn’t like being made fun of. And Afroman’s response? He dropped ANOTHER music video. In his own words: “Unconfidential informant lied to Police to get out of some trouble. Adam County Sherriff officers made a mistake by believing the lie. Raided my house, found nothing, refused to pay for the damages and filed a lawsuit against me, Afroman, for exercising my freedom of speech! This is me holding trial in one song. I hope you enjoy it.” They said his videos “ridiculed” them… so he decided to show them what that actually looks like. And the best part? A jury basically said… yeah… you don’t get to raid someone’s home, end up in their surveillance footage, and then cry because they used it to make fun of you.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check. A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is… And they refused. Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle. Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest. U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle. And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution. Which should terrify every American. Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared. Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was. This cannot become normal.

🚨BREAKING: A masked ICE agent was filmed carrying a toddler in pajamas… and walking away. And given everything we now know about ICE, that should alarm the hell out of you. Because we are being asked to trust that someone is a legitimate federal agent just because they say they’re ICE… while their face is covered and they refuse to give out their badge numbers. And when that person is carrying away a fucking toddler, that is not something we should be expected to just shrug off. Especially when we have learned that ICE’s vetting process is deeply flawed. The ICE agent who fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine had years of family court records detailing allegations of domestic and child abuse, including protective orders and other serious red flags. And somehow, he was still given a badge, a gun, and the authority of the federal government to arrest people, and take children into custody. And that’s not the only problem… We are also seeing cases of people impersonating federal immigration agents… including masked individuals using law-enforcement-style clothing, and equipment, to make themselves appear legitimate. So, when you have a masked man, claiming to be ICE, carrying away a toddler, the question everyone needs to be asking is… WHO THE FUCK IS THIS PERSON? How are we supposed to trust a system that has already failed to properly vet the people it gives this kind of power to? And how the hell are we supposed to tell the difference when criminals can easily pretend to be ICE, too? This is the terrifying reality of creating a system where people are expected to obey masked men carrying children away… simply because they claim to have government authority.

🚨This video is terrifying. And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe. At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man. The man is screaming for help. When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.” But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away. Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave. The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings. Think about how dangerous this is. The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping. In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming. If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man. A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

🚨BREAKING: Law enforcement threatened to kill an unarmed 17-year-old as he was leaving an anti-ICE protest in Indianapolis. In the video, police officers stop a 17-year-old and order him out of his car. He calmly asks why. Instead of answering, an officer opens the car door, grabs his arm, and says: “I will fucking kill you.” An armed officer told an unarmed child he would kill him… with zero justification. The teen looks visibly shocked and gets out of the car. Officers then shove him against the vehicle and begin searching him. After threatening his life, the officer tries to justify it by saying, “He was reaching for a gun.” The teen responds, “Who was reaching for a gun?!?” They find no gun… because he never had a gun, and never reached for anything. This police officer illegally threatened to use lethal force against a minor who committed no crime. Which is exactly what happens when a government excuses, defends, and normalizes law enforcement aggression. When officers know they won’t be held accountable, the threats get louder, the lies get sloppier, and the violence escalates.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents allegedly hit a man with their vehicle, while on private property, in Oklahoma City… and when the property manager told them to get off the property, they argued with her instead. You can hear the man crying out in pain in the background. She tells ICE they can call an ambulance for him, but they need to leave the property. And she doesn’t back down. Eventually, an ambulance and stretcher arrive. Being an ICE agent does not mean you get to ignore the Constitution. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. And that protection applies to everyone in the United States…regardless of immigration status. ICE cannot walk onto private property because they have badges and guns. They need consent, a proper warrant, or a legally recognized exception to enter private areas for enforcement purposes. And if the property manager is telling you to leave, and you don’t have legal authority to remain there, you don’t get to just argue your way into staying. Then there is the person we can literally hear crying in pain. If ICE agents hit someone with a vehicle, we deserve answers. Because this is what happens when federal agents start believing the rules don’t apply to them… They enter private property. They use force. They hurt people. And then they expect everyone to just stand there and accept it because they’re with ICE. Federal agents are not above the law. And the fact that a property manager had to stand there and tell armed federal agents that they need to get off private property… should be absolutely infuriating.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota. The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen. None of it mattered. Why? Because he looked Latino. When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.” Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him. This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American. U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs. And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter. This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country. When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?

🚨THIS IS WHAT WASTING YOUR TAX DOLLARS LOOKS LIKE. In Chicago, at least 7 unmarked ICE vehicles, and around a dozen ICE agents, surround a car with two women inside, demanding they prove their citizenship… And then let them go when they proved they were U.S. citizens. So, why were they stopped in the first place? ICE cannot stop people, and demand they prove their citizenship, based on a hunch… or because an agent thinks someone “looks undocumented.” The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and immigration agents still need lawful grounds to detain someone. So, when neighbors saw 7 ICE vehicles surrounding ONE car, they started filming. One man, standing at his front door, yells, “You all got nothing better to do.” An ICE agent responds, “I can’t hear you… come down here and talk to me.” Why? He has the same right to criticize federal agents from a public sidewalk as he does from his front door. Then he points out how absurd this situation is… “20 cars for 2 females. You all better wear masks. That’s why you wear fucking masks… so your face doesn’t show.” He’s calling them out for hiding their identities… saying, you’re covering your faces so you can’t be identified or held accountable for what you’re doing. Because remember… these are dozens of armed, masked agents surrounding ONE car, with TWO WOMEN inside… who are U.S. citizens. Instead of ignoring the criticism, the ICE agent walks over and says, “That’s not a threat, is it?” So now saying federal agents should be identifiable, and held accountable, is a threat? The man responds, “Did I threaten you, asshole?” You don’t lose your constitutional rights because an ICE agent doesn’t like being recorded. And criticizing the government isn’t a threat… it’s a constitutional right. And when dozens of masked, armed agents surround two women, question their citizenship, and force them to prove they were U.S. citizens... everyone should be questioning and criticizing the government. So I’ll ask again… Why were these women stopped in the first place? Because the people with cameras aren’t the problem… The masked, armed agents violating the Constitution are.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents showed up at a work site in Brownsville, Texas, claiming to be looking for two people… and ended up illegally handcuffing TWO U.S. CITIZENS, throwing one of them against a truck, threatening to arrest him again, and scanning everyone’s faces to determine their “status.” In the video, ICE showed up looking for two people. They asked the foreman if he knew them. He said no. Then, they asked if they could talk to the other workers about the people they were looking for. The foreman said, “If they want to talk to you, they can.” And then an ICE agent tried to scan the foreman’s face to run him through their system. The foreman told him he was not allowed to just scan his face. The foreman then walked over to one of his workers’ trucks, where ICE agents were surrounding the work vehicles at their work site. He asked what was going on. He repeatedly asked who they were looking for, and told them the people they claimed to be looking for were not there. The agent responded, “Well, we want to make sure.” The foreman told them, “Well, we aren’t them. You all need to leave.” And then an ICE agent threatened to arrest him. “You need to settle down or I have to put you in cuffs.” Except this man was not threatening them. He was not attacking them. He was not even raising his voice. He was standing there, asking questions and telling government agents to leave his workplace, after they had already expanded their investigation beyond the two people they claimed to be looking for. So, the ICE agent threw him against a truck and handcuffed him. A U.S. citizen. And after they released him, he asked for the agents’ badge numbers. And the agent responded by threatening to handcuff him AGAIN. The government cannot simply show up, invade your workplace, surround your vehicles, demand access to people who are not the subjects of their investigation, scan your face, and then arrest you because you object to what they are doing. The First Amendment protects your right to question government agents and verbally protest their actions. The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures. And an arrest cannot simply be used as punishment because an officer does not like the fact that you are standing there, asking questions, or asserting your rights. Then the foreman saw another person ICE had in handcuffs… He told them they needed to let him go because he was not the person they were looking for. The agents eventually released the person they had in handcuffs… after scanning his face and discovering that he was also a U.S. citizen. The government is creating situations where people are expected to silently obey armed agents, who refuse to explain what they are doing… while they violate your constitutional rights… and then punishing anyone who dares to ask questions. When the government tells you that your only options are blind obedience or punishment… you are not living in a free country.

🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens. In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says. And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing. To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in. That’s how panic starts. And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.” Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions. They are supposed to de-escalate situations. Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights. When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief. This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public. ICE notices her watching. Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over. They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car. She refuses, and states her rights. The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her. This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road. She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down. Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.” Read that again. A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality. ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen. About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor. The St. Peter police chief stepped in. After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home. ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong. This is what is happening in America. A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them. If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality. This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.
