🚨BREAKING: In Las Vegas, ICE agents illegally entered a flooring business’s private property without a warrant, refused to leave when the owner demanded they get off his property, and then threatened to tase him. In the video, the business owner repeatedly tells the agents to leave. But, instead of leaving, one agent arrogantly responds that they’ll leave “when we’re done.” That’s not how the Constitution works. If law enforcement doesn’t have a valid judicial warrant, they can’t force their way onto private commercial property in order to conduct a search… and they certainly don’t get to ignore the property owner’s demand for them to leave. As the agents are finally walking away, one agent turns around and starts threatening the owner, and his employees. The owner immediately asks, “Are you threatening us? Are you going to shoot us?” That’s when the agent puts his hand on his taser… and pulls it out. The agent tries to say he is giving them a “warning.” Brandishing a weapon to intimidate someone, who is standing on their own property demanding that government agents leave, is the definition of a constitutional violation. Which is exactly why the Fourth Amendment exists… to protect people from unreasonable government searches and seizures. And when someone verbally tells government officials to leave their property, that speech is also protected by the First Amendment. So, pulling a taser on the owner, while standing on HIS private property, as he tells you to leave, is not a “warning”… it is a threat. Government agents don’t get to invent authority they don’t have. They don’t get to threaten people, especially while standing on private property. And they don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they think no one will hold them accountable. If they actually had a warrant, they would’ve shown it. Instead, they left.
