🚨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: An ICE agent admitted, ON VIDEO, that he had no legal justification to keep questioning a U.S. citizen about his immigration status… But continued harassing him anyway, while illegally detaining him… in Eagle, Idaho. In the video, mask ICE agents approach a construction site. One masked agent orders a man to put down the pole he’s carrying, so he can question him… while another agent walks up to a man who is setting concrete. The man setting concrete tells the agent he isn’t going to talk to him because he’s working. The agent ignores him and says… “Where were you born? We are looking for someone.” The man tells him he doesn’t care who they’re looking for… He’s working. Instead of leaving him alone, the agent gets in his way, and demands his identification. The man says he doesn’t have an ID on him… So, the agent demands his name. The man tells him he’s a legal U.S. citizen, and that’s all he needs to tell him. The agent ignores that, and keeps harassing him with… Where were you born? Where are you from? The United States? The U.S. citizens keeps trying to tell the agent he needs to work before the concrete is sets, and tries to walk away. But the agent keeps following and blocking the U.S. citizen until he finally tells the agent to get off of him, and demands the agent’s name and badge number. The agent responds… “I’m asking YOU the questions.” Then, another agent says, “Let’s go.” And the agent finally walks away, saying… “Okay, that’s fine. HE’S NOT OUR GUY ANYWAY.” THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU KEEP HARASSING HIM?! ICE cannot just stop or detain someone because they want to know where they were born. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable seizures, and ICE agents need reasonable suspicion to detain someone for immigration questioning. And if this was just a “voluntary conversation,” the man was free to walk away. Instead, the agent followed him, blocked him from working, repeatedly demanded his identity and birthplace, and continued confronting him AFTER he tried to walk away. And that should piss everyone off. Because this wasn’t about finding the person they were looking for… The agent admitted that he KNEW the man wasn’t their guy. But that didn’t stop the armed federal agent from following and harassing a U.S. citizen. And it’s exactly how constitutional rights disappear… one “small” violation at a time… until we’re expected to accept the government treating our rights like they’re optional.

🚨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.
