🚨ICE agents are threatening to assault and illegally arrest U.S. citizens in Portland, Maine.
In the video, a man is legally observing ICE activity in his own neighborhood.
Agents walk up to his car window and ask, “Are you following us?”
The man replies, “Yeah.”
An agent immediately escalates and says, “What you are doing is called impeding federal law enforcement. It’s an 18 U.S.C. §111 charge. This is your first and only warning. If you continue to impede and follow us, you will be arrested.”
The man then correctly responds, “Yeah, but I’m not impeding you.”
Another agent jumps in and says,“You just openly admitted you were following us, so…”
And again, the man correctly explains, “I am following you. I’m not impeding you. I’m observing you.”
Which is a constitutionally protected right.
The agent responds anyway, “It is impeding.”
The man replies, “No, it’s actually not.”
At that point, the agents become visibly angry that he knows the law and threaten him again, saying, “This is your one warning. If you keep doing it, we will pull you back out and arrest you.”
Just to be very clear…
Following and observing law enforcement, without interference, is not a crime.
Threatening arrest anyway is an abuse of power.
Threatening to “pull him out” of his vehicle is a threat of unlawful force.
These agents are not enforcing the law, they’re misstating it, weaponizing it, and hoping intimidation will do the rest.
They don’t understand the laws they claim to enforce. They just parrot a few buzzwords and statute numbers, and expect the public to fold.
And when that doesn’t work, they threaten violence.
Because the biggest threat to an ICE agent is someone who knows their rights.
I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch. Even as a DB you know that if it’s even a Tie it will go to the WR. Can’t believe this decided the game.
Sending this tweet to the real ones out there. You know who you are. Tired of the hate and just want to love and live life. Elevate yourselves & your fellow neighbors. I need to know there is LOVE here, despite the vile we encounter daily.
I LOVE YOU. ❤️
After ICE agents ate lunch at a Minnesota Mexican restaurant, they went back and arrested three of the restaurant's employees.
I don’t know that you can reform that kind of cruelty.
Wild: Aaron Rodgers throws one last jab at the Jets in what could be his final press conference last night.
"There’s only a few very special places in the league that have the tradition, the town, the organization, and I'm thankful to have played for two of them."
😭😭😭
Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump’s 2nd term: “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We’ve normalized verbal abuse. We’ve normalized bullying. Out the window goes character, integrity. We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”
Oh hello there! Just sitting here really beyond pleased that @DonaldJTrumpJr reminded us that those who do not release the Epstein files are SCUM!
I absolutely agree and appreciate his candor
