๐จBREAKING: An ICE agent was just caught on video violently shoving a TEENAGER to the ground, in a Chicago suburb.
But it gets worseโฆ
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, โStep back a little bit.โ
The teenager wasnโt 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 laterโฆ
ICE released the man they had kidnapped because they realized he was not undocumented.
Think about how insane that isโฆ
A man was detained, handcuffed, and taken away before ICE even confirmed they had the right person.
Thatโs exactly why the Fourth Amendment existsโฆ to protect people from unreasonable seizures by the government.
And then there is the issue of an ICE agent shoving a teenager to the groundโฆ
Using significant physical force against someone, especially a teenager, who is not posing an immediate threat, not resisting, and not interferingโฆ 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 wasnโt just about one man being kidnappedโฆ. 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?
@ScottJenningsKY We didn't know.
How is Mitch McConnell and for how long has he been been brain dead and how long has his staff known and all the corrupt republicans? Special election time
Virginia is rolling out a state issued digital ID.
It is voluntary to use at this point so do not use it.
Once they get you to use it and it becomes convenient they will add more and more information to it.
Then comes a social credit score attached to your ID, and we've seen how that works in China. We can't let it happen here!
The only way we win is enough of us refuse to go along so the key is to warn everyone and spread the word.
We must resist and refuse to go along!
