🚨BREAKING: MULTIPLE ICE agents were caught on video pointing their guns at unarmed U.S. citizens, AGAIN, after assaulting them with pepper spray. This time in Anthony, New Mexico. After arresting one man, an ICE agent walks around the car and pepper-sprays a family member, while other agents are holding...

🚨BREAKING: In Queens, New York, ICE agents were caught on video violently shoving, and threatening, U.S. citizens because they dared to stand on a public sidewalk. The U.S. citizens weren’t blocking traffic. They weren’t interfering. They weren’t even yelling… They were filming, while another agent stood right next to them, without issue. Then, out of nowhere, an ICE agent came charging from off camera, screaming, “BACK THE FUCK UP,” and then violently shoved one of the men multiple times. Even as the U.S. citizens backed up, the ICE agent continued to violently shoved one of them, held pepper spray inches from his face, as the other agent threatened the second man with a taser. When you’re walking down the street, observing a traffic stop from the sidewalk, normally police officers don’t sprint over, scream profanities at you, assault you, and then threaten you with weapons… And that’s because watching law enforcement activity, from a public place, is protected by the First Amendment. Recording law enforcement performing their duties, in public, is constitutionally protected. The law generally only allows officers to use force when they’re facing an actual safety threat, active physical resistance, or someone trying to flee… not because U.S. citizens are standing on a public sidewalk, watching and filming. And the most telling part? If these U.S. citizens, standing on a public sidewalk, were really a threat… the ICE agents wouldn’t have instantly turned their backs to the threat, and walked away. Because that just proved they were never a threat at all. So, why did ICE agents violently shove U.S. citizens, and threaten them with weapons?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught, on video, recklessly pointing their GUNS at a CHILD, and multiple other unarmed U.S. citizens… who were nowhere near them… while demanding a legal resident prove his immigration status, in Immokalee, Florida. And this all happened in a busy gas station parking lot… In the video, a person is recording while walking toward the sidewalk… When suddenly, an ICE agent draws his firearm, turns around, and points his gun directly at the unarmed U.S. citizen. And just to be clear… No one was attacking him, rushing toward him, or even armed with any sort of weapon. In fact, no one was even close enough to pose an immediate physical threat. Then, the agent, with his gun still drawn, orders a car to move. As it backs up, he recklessly sweeps his loaded firearm across multiple unarmed people… including a MINOR… who are standing on a public sidewalk, legally record from a distance. The person filming keeps asking… “What’s the threat?” Because the video clearly doesn’t show one. Moments later, the same agent points his gun at the person filming, AGAIN. Then, a shirtless man walks around the vehicle to see what’s happening, and the agent immediately points the gun at him, too. At this point, a second ICE agent is seen, standing on the side of the car, with HIS gun drawn, too. And after all of that… The man, they were demanding papers from, walks away because he wasn’t undocumented. And the ICE agents get into their car and leave. Federal officers are trained to draw their firearms only when they reasonably believe there is an imminent threat of death, or serious bodily harm. Every time a loaded firearm is pointed at someone, there is a risk of a tragic mistake… especially in a public place where innocent bystanders could be caught in the middle. And once again… recording federal agents, from a public place, is protected by the First Amendment, so long as you are not interfering with their duties. And no one was interfering… or even near them. So, what exactly justified having multiple firearms drawn, and pointed at unarmed people, in a crowded gas station parking lot? This wasn’t just dangerous for the people filming… It was dangerous for everyone in that parking lot. And this video is just another example of what happens when poorly trained ICE agents aren’t held accountable.

🚨BREAKING: (CHICAGO SUBURBS) ICE agents pulled a GUN, and a TASER, on unarmed U.S. citizens for recording them from a public sidewalk… while threatening, “you aren’t going to like the outcome.” In the video, legal observers are standing on a public sidewalk recording ICE agents. The agents stop, get out of their cars, and approach THEM. One agent has his GUN drawn, another has his TASER drawn. The agents tell the legal observers to stop following them. A U.S. citizen responds: “We aren’t doing anything illegal. It’s totally legal to follow you.” He is correct. The First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, and federal agents, carrying out their duties in public. And federal regulations specifically recognize that people can record publicly accessible federal activity from public sidewalks, and streets, when they aren’t impeding or disrupting operations. Then, the agent says: “Stop following us, you aren’t going to like the outcome.” That is a serious First Amendment retaliation issue. And then it gets even more dangerous. The same armed federal agents, who just threatened these people with weapons and retaliation… surround the citizens’ car and claim THEY are blocking traffic. But look at the video. The only people blocking traffic are the ICE agents… who have now boxed in the citizens’ car. Agents cannot detain someone because they don’t like being watched. A vehicle stop requires reasonable suspicion of an actual legal violation. And recording and observing ICE agents, from a public place, is not obstruction. It is not illegal. Government agents are supposed to be accountable to the people… not the other way around. The First Amendment protects your right to watch and record your government. The Fourth Amendment limits the government’s power to stop and detain you. And neither one comes with an ICE exception.

🚨ICE agents were filmed assaulting a group of U.S. citizens for no reason, in California. In the video, ICE agents walked up to a group of U.S. citizens while they were filming, on public property, and then started shoving them. Then, they escalated even further, pointing pepper spray at multiple people who were doing nothing but recording, before casually walking back to their cars and leaving. No additional arrests, no threat identified, no justification given… just force. So, let’s call this what it is… A violation of the First Amendment. You have a protected right to film law enforcement in public… These people weren’t interfering with anything… ICE agents approached them and retaliated against them for exercising that right. That’s unconstitutional. And then there’s the Fourth Amendment… Law enforcement cannot use force without justification. They cannot walk up to civilians, put hands on them, and escalate to threats of chemical force because they feel like it. Shoving people who pose no threat and pointing pepper spray at people who are standing is excessive force… and it’s an unlawful seizure, even if it only lasts seconds. And the pattern here is what everyone should pay attention to. They finish an arrest…then turn to the bystanders. They don’t de-escalate, they expand the confrontation. They don’t leave, they intimidate. Because if federal agents can walk up to you on a sidewalk and assault you for exercising your first amendment rights… then your rights don’t exist.

🚨THREE days before executing Alex Pretti, the SAME agents almost killed another U.S. citizen…🚨 While illegally detaining unaccompanied minors, using excessive force, causing multiple car accidents, and assaulting multiple U.S. citizens… all in one video. The video starts with agents checking the ID of a 16-year-old girl they had just hit with their car. She has a U.S. passport. They don’t care. They had already taken her 15-year-old brother after scanning his face. They seize her passport, and then handcuff her. At the front of the car, you can see a U.S. citizen legally observing. Not interfering, or moving. Just filming. Suddenly, agents swarm them and tackle them to the ground. Multiple men put their full body weight on the person’s back. One agent hits them in the face, and then pushes his knee into their face, while another pulls the person’s hair… All while the person lays motionless. Their nose starts bleeding into the snow. They’re struggling to talk, let alone breathe. All while they are not resisting. When the agents finally lift them up, blood is running down their face. And the agent’s rampage continues. Agents are then seen smashing a car window and try to grab the driver while the car is not in park, nearly running over another agent in the process. Multiple people are now on the ground. One man has been pepper sprayed, his glasses knocked off. A woman walks up. Without warning, an agent pepper sprays her directly in the eyes, blinding her, while they yell at her to move. She can’t see where she’s going, so the person filming has to lead her to the sidewalk. The camera turns back. The man who was pepper sprayed earlier is now standing, lethargic, disoriented, and unable to see without his glasses, and with pepper spray in his eyes. They slam him back to the ground. An agent walks over, pepper sprays him again, inches from his eyes, and casually walks away. This is believed to be the same agent who later shot Alex Pretti in the back. As three agents put their full weight on this man, other agents begin throwing tear gas, including a canister thrown right next to his head. The entire area fills with thick smoke. You can hear agents accidentally hitting a car because they can’t see. After multiple pepper sprayings, physical assault, and tear gas deployment right next to his face, the agents simply stand up and walk away. They leave him lying in the middle of the street, surrounded by smoke, without glasses, effectively blinded, after already causing crashes due to lack of visibility. Eventually, he manages to get up and run for help, begging bystanders to assist him. And these are the same agents who later illegally assaulted women for filming, then assaulted Alex Pretti for helping them, using excessive force, pepper spray, and bear spray… Before tackling Alex Pretti, beating him, removing his legal firearm… and executing him. This is what happens when agents are trained to ignore the Constitution, are protected from consequences, and told that violence is policy. If this blatant abuse is allowed to continue, it’s no longer a question of if another U.S. citizen will die… It’s only a question of when, and how many more they think they can get away with before anyone stops them.

🚨Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally demanding a U.S. citizen prove their citizenship, in Brownsville, TX. In the video, ICE agents have a U.S. citizen boxed in with their vehicles. After demanding that he show his ID, the U.S. citizen asks if he is free to go, and then tells them to get the F away from his car. Instead of going back to their own cars, the agents tell him to “chill”… after they had already illegally detained him and demanded identification. The U.S. citizen then gets out of his car, to record the agents’ license plates, and one of the ICE agents has the audacity to say: “Sir, please don’t interfere with our investigations.” Interfere with what investigation? He WAS the investigation. If they’re letting him leave, then there is nothing left for him to “interfere” with. Recording government agents, in public, is protected by the First Amendment, and they don’t get to invent an “investigation” to discourage someone from filming. And this is becoming a pattern. ICE agents are stopping whoever they want… and demanding papers. But that is not how constitutional rights work. ICE didn’t have reasonable suspicion that he had committed an immigration violation… since he is a U.S. citizen. So, detaining him, and demanding that he identify himself, violates his Fourth Amendment rights. U.S. citizens are not required to prove their citizenship, to any law enforcement, simply because they were stopped and questioned. And that’s what makes these encounters so dangerous. When U.S. citizens refuse to comply with these unlawful demands, we’ve repeatedly seen ICE agents escalate the situation with physical force. Citizens have been shoved, dragged from vehicles, pinned to the ground, and pepper sprayed after refusing unlawful demands, or asserting their constitutional rights. And a right isn’t a right if exercising it means you risk being assaulted by the very government that’s supposed to protect it. This isn’t just about immigration anymore. It’s about whether every American can exercise their constitutional rights without fearing they’ll be met with intimidation, violence, or retaliation from federal agents. If federal agents can stop U.S. citizens, demand they prove who they are without lawful justification, and then escalate when people refuse… Then nobody’s constitutional rights are safe.

🚨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.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent was just caught on video violently shoving a TEENAGER to the ground, in a Chicago suburb. But it gets worse… In Joliet, IL, ICE agents jumped out of their cars, racially profiled a man, began handcuffing him, and forced him into an unmarked vehicle that had its license plate covered. And they did all of this before even confirming who he was. As U.S. citizens began recording the incident, ICE agents started forcing them farther back, even though they were not interfering with the arrest. One of the agents looked at a teenager, who was just standing there and filming, and said, “Step back a little bit.” The teenager wasn’t interfering. In fact, a woman was standing even closer. And then, without warning, the ICE agent violently shoved the teenager to the ground. Moments later, another ICE agent pulled out a taser and threatened the legal observers, despite them remaining away from the vehicle, and not interfering. And after all of that, about 20 minutes later… ICE released the man they had kidnapped because they realized he was not undocumented. Think about how insane that is… A man was detained, handcuffed, and taken away before ICE even confirmed they had the right person. That’s exactly why the Fourth Amendment exists… to protect people from unreasonable seizures by the government. And then there is the issue of an ICE agent shoving a teenager to the ground… Using significant physical force against someone, especially a teenager, who is not posing an immediate threat, not resisting, and not interfering… is excessive force. Federal agents do not get a free pass to assault teenagers because they are standing nearby. The First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement in public, and government officials cannot use intimidation, or force, to silence people who are lawfully documenting their actions. This wasn’t just about one man being kidnapped…. It was about everyone standing there. A teenager was thrown to the ground. Legal observers were threatened. U.S. citizens exercising their constitutional rights were intimidated. And an innocent man lost 20 minutes of his freedom because ICE believes they are allowed to kidnap anyone they want. So, why are these ICE agents not being held accountable?

🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were filmed hitting the car of a U.S. citizen, assaulting a bystander who was filming, pointing a taser at innocent people, and driving away before local police could even verify their identities. And we’re supposed to believe they’re making our communities safer. The video shows ICE agents chasing a man through Albany Park. Two agents grab him and rip his shirt off during the chase, while one of the agents drops a fully loaded magazine… and leaves it there. The man manages to get away and runs across a street, where cars are stopped at a red light. An ICE agent then drive a black SUV into a U.S. citizen’s vehicle in an attempt to cut off the man running. The man is eventually surrounded by agents, when one agent suddenly grabs the man and aggressively throws him to the ground, as multiple agents immediately pile on top of him as he screams for help. As this is happening, residents begin recording what they are witnessing. That’s when another agent enters the scene with his taser already drawn. Despite another agent already standing next to a person filming, he walks directly toward the bystander, shoves them backward, and screams, “Back the fuck up.” The person filming isn’t attacking anyone… or interfering with the arrest. In fact, you can see them nodding and saying “okay.” Yet, the agent continues advancing toward them with a taser. Which all raises some serious first and fourth amendment concerns. And let’s talk about the woman whose car was hit… Her vehicle gets run into, during a federal operation… and then they threatened to arrest HER. And afterward, local police told her they were not given proof of the agents’ identity at the scene. One officer reportedly said, “[The agents] didn’t want to show us proof of that,” when speaking to the woman whose car was hit. AND THEN, according to reporting from the scene, one of the ICE agents had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone. The Jerusalem cross is a Christian symbol dating back to the Crusades that has more recently gained popularity among some far-right and white supremacist groups. Maybe that’s something DHS would like to explain. So, if federal agents can crash into civilian vehicles, leave loaded ammunition in public streets, point tasers at bystanders, and aggressively confront, and assault, people exercising their constitutional rights… Then the people holding the cameras aren’t the problem. The cameras are documenting the problem.

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb, St. Charles) ICE agents smashed a handcuffed man’s face into a stone wall, then assaulted a U.S. citizen, multiple times, once they realized they were filming. In the video, multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control, and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall. A U.S. citizen begins asking for the man’s name, while filming... note that he is not interfering, blocking the agents, or preventing the arrest in any way…. But that doesn’t stop the ICE agent from chases after him, while another agent threatens him with a taser. As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking toward him, and aggressively shoves him backwards. Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle… and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, or their cars… that same ICE agent continues shoving the U.S. citizen for no apparent reason. And while he is standing on the public sidewalk, another agent walks over and points a taser inches from him, and then turns around and points his taser at other innocent people, who are just standing and watching. Americans have a First Amendment right to record government officials performing their duties in public. Threatening, intimidating, or assaulting someone because they are documenting law enforcement, violates that right. And slamming a person face, who is handcuffed and not resisting, into a stone wall is excessive force. This is exactly why it’s important to always record anytime you see ICE agents. Because when there isn’t video evidence, we’re told to trust the government’s version of events. And more often than not, their version is filled with lies. But when there is video, the people filming often become the next target… just for documenting what is happening. And that’s what makes this so alarming. This is happening across the country, almost every single day. Americans are watching videos of people being thrown to the ground, beaten, threatened, shoved, tased, and intimidated by federal agents… while never seeing anyone held accountable. When a government refuses to investigate or discipline agents who violate people’s constitutional rights, it sends a message that they can keep doing it. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing. The Constitution means nothing if the people sworn to uphold it can violate it without consequence. And as long as this administration refuses to hold ICE agents accountable, Americans should expect to keep seeing videos like this… because impunity breeds abuse.

🚨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.

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb) An ICE agent just shot a protester outside the Broadview ICE facility… and then drove away. In the video, ICE agents were leaving the Broadview ICE facility when one agent stopped, aimed a pepper ball gun at a protester, who was standing on a public sidewalk… not blocking the vehicle, or obstructing anything… and shot them in the abdomen. Then, they just kept driving. The protester had to be treated at the scene before being transported to the hospital. Now, imagine if an ordinary U.S. citizen pulled up, shot someone with a pepper ball gun, and drove away... Police would be looking for them. There would be arrests, charges, and headlines calling it what it was… Assault. But when it’s a federal agent? And this isn’t even the first time something like this has happened. We’ve watched ICE agents assault protesters with pepper spray, from their vehicles, and keep driving. We’ve watched people exercising their constitutional rights become targets. We’ve watched it happen over and over again. So, where is the accountability? Peacefully protesting, on a public sidewalk, is protected by the First Amendment. Using force against someone, who poses no immediate threat, is a direct violation of that right. And every single person in this country should be demanding answers. Because if federal agents can shoot a peaceful protester, drive away, and face no consequences… Then we no longer have equal justice under the law. We have one set of rules for the government, and another for everyone else.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are instigating confrontations with U.S. citizens to manufacture an excuse to use force and make arrests, in Albert Lea, Minnesota. In the video, U.S. citizens are standing in a parking lot. They are minding their own business when ICE agents approach them. The agents start taking pictures of them, their license plate, and asking questions they don’t have to answer. That alone is intimidation. Then a citizen criticizes an agent saying, “Especially with all your gang tattoos showing. You take off your badge and then fight? Is that what you do?” Not a threat. Not a challenge. Speech. And immediately an agent tries to reframe it: “Is that a threat?” That’s the setup. When that doesn’t work, an ICE agent takes off his duty belt… gun, ammo, restraints… and says: “Hey, you want to fight?” This is the tell. They’re not trying to de-escalate. They’re trying to provoke a reaction. Because if a civilian swings back, pushes, or defends themselves, ICE suddenly gets to say: “assault on an officer” “resisting” “threatening behavior” Even though ICE initiated it. When other agents restrain him, the same agent suddenly claims: “I wasn’t serious, I was just proving a point.” No. You don’t remove your weapon to “prove a point.” You do it because you’re trying to start a fight. Then he admits why they came over in the first place: “I want to see what was going on with you guys.” That’s not reasonable suspicion. That’s fishing. Then he flat-out says: “I fuck with anybody and everybody.” That’s the tactic. Harass. Escalate. Provoke. Then arrest whoever reacts. And when civilians call it out, the excuse becomes: “At the end of the day, it’s a job.” No. Your job is not baiting U.S. citizens into confrontations so you can put hands on them. The man filming sums it up: “You have the protection of all of this shit knowing if we fuck you up they gotchu.” Exactly. ICE agents know civilians can’t defend themselves and any reaction gets criminalized. So they push. They poke. They try to start fights so they can arrest U.S. citizens. This isn’t immigration enforcement. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s manufactured justification for violence against U.S. citizens. And it’s happening on camera.

🚨This video is terrifying, and it’s exactly why “just comply” does not protect you from ICE/Border Patrol agents, even as U.S. citizens, and why you always film them. In North Carolina, ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally stopped two U.S. citizens. They questioned them without legal cause, took their licenses, and admitted on camera that the men were allowed to record. And they were still attacked. In the video, one man asks if he can film for his safety. The agent says yes, saying that he’ll “have to put his mask on.” The agents take their licenses, ask where they’re from, where they live, what they’re doing in the area, all without legal authority. The men cooperate anyway. Then the situation turns dangerous. Another agent suddenly tells the driver, “Turn off your video. You are being detained, so you are not free to record.” That is false. Recording law enforcement in public is legal, including during detention. The driver calmly refuses, keeps one hand on the steering wheel as instructed, and holds his phone in the other. That’s when the agent lunges for the phone. The agent throws himself into the car, trying to grab the device. When the driver moves it away, the agent assaults him. The agent then illegally opens the car door, something the driver correctly points out they are not allowed to do. The agents keep demanding the filming stop, as multiple agents keep reaching for the phone. Then they escalate again. They threaten arrest, grab the driver, and start hitting him and trying to drag him out of the car, even though he keeps saying, “We haven’t done anything wrong.” When they fail to pull him out, they back away, visibly angry. They turn on the passenger next. An agent grabs him, threatens handcuffs, and assaults him trying to force him out of the vehicle. When that doesn’t work, they start yelling conflicting commands, claiming the men are “interfering with an investigation.” An investigation into what? Their own illegal stop. At one point, an agent shouts that the men can’t interfere, while another tries… again… to grab the phone, almost certainly to stop or erase the recording. Only after all of this do the agents finally release them. Because they are U.S. citizens. Because the stop was illegal. And because the camera was still rolling. This is why you film ICE. This is why compliance doesn’t save you. This is why they hate cameras. If this hadn’t been recorded, this would be another lie in a report, another “resisting” accusation, another abuse buried and denied. Film them. Always.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents surrounded a car, detained two U.S. citizens on their way to work, interrogated them about who they were and what they did for a living… and then walked away like nothing happened. In Boyle Heights, California, multiple ICE agents surrounded a vehicle and began questioning the driver and passenger. The passenger immediately pushed back, saying they were on their way to work and asking, “What the fuck do you want?” Saying he wasn’t go going to give his name or any personal information, telling the agents they might as well arrest him now. The agents ignored what he said and instead asked what they did for work. He responded, “Don’t worry about it.” Once the agents realized they were U.S. citizens, they said, “Guys, have a good day,” turned around, and walked away as if nothing had happened. If ICE had a lawful basis to stop and detain them, discovering they were U.S. citizens shouldn’t suddenly erase that justification. And what is important to remember is, you generally do not have to answer questions about where you’re going, where you work, or other unrelated personal information because a law enforcement officer asks. Refusing to answer those questions, by itself, is not a crime. This video is an example of what is becoming the new normal… A free society is not one where armed federal agents can stop you, interrogate you, and then pretend nothing happened when they realize they picked the wrong people.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed trespassing in a fenced-in yard, with their gun drawn, without a warrant, in Joliet, Illinois. In the video, a person inside the house starts recording after noticing ICE agents were walking around their property. One agent can be seen with their hand on their gun. Then, a second agent walks into view with their gun fully drawn… and briefly points it toward the person filming inside the house, before moving out of frame as the person filming yells, “what are you doing?” A fenced-in yard is not public property. Under the 4th Amendment, the area immediately surrounding a home, including fenced yards, is considered part of the home itself for constitutional protections. Courts call this the “curtilage” of the home. Which means federal agents are not supposed to just roam around inside it without a warrant, consent, or an actual emergency circumstance that legally justifies it. Then there’s the gun… Because this wasn’t someone charging at officers. This was a person INSIDE their own home… holding a phone… recording what armed federal agents were doing on their property. So, what exactly justified drawing a firearm and briefly aiming it toward the person filming? What immediate threat existed? This is the kind of behavior that should terrify people regardless of politics… because once armed federal agents start treating constitutional protections like suggestions, no one is safe. Rights either apply to everyone… or eventually they stop meaning anything at all.

🚨An ICE agent hit a U.S. citizen with his car… A man is walking down a public sidewalk… doing nothing illegal… simply filming. An ICE agent turns into a gated entrance, and instead of waiting for the man to cross, instead of honking, instead of yielding like literally every driver is required to do… He drives straight into him. We have already seen ICE agents kill people when someone moves a car near them… …but this agent? He drove his car directly into a U.S. citizen walking on a sidewalk. And when the man says, “You just hit me”… The agent responds: “Move out of the fucking way.” That alone tells you everything about how this agent views the law, and the lives of U.S. citizens. The agent then he tries to twist reality, claiming the man is “interfering” with operations… For walking on a public sidewalk. Filming federal agents is legal. Walking down the street is legal. Running someone over because they’re recording you? That’s reckless endangerment, and assault with a vehicle. And then, it spirals into straight intimidation… The agent starts at the man saying, “Do you want to do something? You ain’t gonna do shit.” A federal agent, taunting a civilian, after hitting him with a car… Trying to provoke a reaction. ICE agents claim fear when it benefits them… …but show none when they’re the ones behind the wheel. This is exactly how people end up dead. And it’s happening with zero accountability.
