    Remember:

    1] The US public has no right to film ICE (per the DOJ). 2] ICE has complete immunity, and you have no due process. 3] ICE hates cameras.

    4] therefore, it’s illegal to film ICE. (do it anyway)

      If you do illegal things, you’ll put put into the criminal category they want to put you into anyway. Resisting qualifies you as criminal as well.

      So there is no incentive to comply.

    If I am boxed in by a car with no police lights with masked men jumping out and immediately pointing guns at me… Floor it. This is self defense because I have no way of knowing who is threatening my life. With guns drawn you can’t see POLICE on the vests either.

    I would prefer that and deal with the aftermath after.

      The aftermath might be you’re dead… but eventually this is going to happen and they will survive and it’s going to go to court. I would love to see the precedent get set that it was indeed self defense.

      This masked non identifying shit is insane.

    The woman’s husband eventually arrives and tries to intervene, and he made a separate recording of the interaction on his phone. He tells the agents not to search her car because they don’t have a warrant and it would be an illegal search. The agents appear dismissive of his constitutional concerns.

    “I’m not getting into the legality of everything,” one agent responds tersely.

    MPR News interviewed the woman and her husband, who also doesn’t want to be identified, fearing retaliation.

    The woman said the agents put her into one of their vehicles and started driving toward the Twin Cities, presumably to the Whipple Federal Building near MSP Airport, where ICE has an immigration detention facility. About 20 minutes into the drive, when they were near Le Sueur, she says one of the agents got a call, apparently from an ICE supervisor. They turned off Highway 169 at the next exit and drove back toward St. Peter.

    The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.

    Bolded above.

    Observations:

    1. They execute a high-speed box stop which is dangerous to not just the innocent observer, but bystanders, all while there is zero evidence of any illegal conduct happening.

    2. From the recording they all had guns drawn and pointed from the moment they stepped out of the car, meaning there was no escalation - they emerged ready to use deadly force without any grounds or justification. The only explanation is intent to kill or unlawfully intimidate.

    3. Those thugs were potentially driving her to be flown out of Minnesota. After that, who knows. They were informed of the unconstitutionality of an illegal search and demonstrated they didn’t care.

    4. The only reason she was saved was that the husband knew the local chief of police, which - while great and especially nice for local communities where this is more common - is certainly not going to apply to everyone.

    In any normal timeline they would all be fired and potentially be the basis for a constitutional rights violation suit for multiple reasons above.

      At this rate, we’re going to literally have ICE agents hanging from lamp posts soon enough.

      And frankly, anyone still saying, “but they’ll use that as an excuse to escalate,” can shove it up their ass.

            Lol, no. History tells us that for any coup to be successful, even a so-called “bloodless” coup, the military – or a critical mass thereof – must already be on board or get there quickly, or the coup FAILS.

            Historically, unless the military is already in power, either as a junta or as a loyalist unit, the military is the big question mark, not the certainty, and history is full of attempted coups that never even got off the ground because the military laughed.

            This is especially true here and now in the US as well: ICE is not the military. It’s not even a part of the military.

            ICE is a comparatively tiny force of less that 5k that belongs to DHS and has hired a bunch of sociopaths to make big dramas of force in small places, and in so doing stage a big shock and awe program for the rest of us, including the servicemen and women of the military who are also citizens, many of whom are black and brown and whose loved ones are also being targeted by ICE.

            He’s NOT doing this because the coup is already successful and we’ve all fallen in line; this is all being done so that we WILL fall in line. And it’s backfiring in his face. Imagine having to release the Epstein files because that is the lesser story, and you’re trying to draw attention away from tens of thousands who are spontaneously protesting across all fifty states because they hate you so much, lol.

            I think you also may have forgotten that the US military is an entirely volunteer force. There is no draft here. People are in the US military because they choose to be. Why do you assume they are happier with this than anyone else?

            I’ll believe the military is on board when I see it with my own eyes. THAT is what history tells us in reality.

              Name a time in history that a paid military has refused it’s orders.

              Imagine having to release the Epstein files because that is the lesser story

              They had to release them because they were legally compelled. They don’t give a shit about backlash or they never would have sent them in in the first place.

              He’s NOT doing this because the coup is already successful and we’ve all fallen in line

              Doing what? Sending ICE into Democrat run cities? No. He’s doing in part to exact vengeance, and in part in order to enact martial law and cancel the midterms. He’s not been subtle about this.

              I think you also may have forgotten that the US military is an entirely volunteer force.

              It is 0% volunteer. Everyone is well-compensated.

              People are in the US military because they choose to be.

              Most of them are dumb people who couldn’t think of a better option. Many joined just for the opportunity to get a license to bully, harrass and kill others.

    Something to remember about situations like this where time is of the essence, don’t just yell “Someone call 911/for help!” Actually DESIGNATE someone from the crowd to do so. The bystander effect assumes that someone else will do it. Don’t let people think like that. While doing CPR, you’re told to point specifically at someone to call for assistance. Same goes for something like this.

      To anyone reading this, the bystander effect is maybe not as strong as we once thought. Mainly because a 2019 study showed more than 200 real-life situations caught on CCTV where the bystander effect was not shown to happen.
