These two men stopped by ICE in North Carolina were U.S. citizens. When agents realized they were recording the encounter, they tried to stop the filming and then violently escalated the stop. Civil rights advocates say the stop is unconstitutional, violating the Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
🚨 ICE agents were caught on video beating U.S. citizens in Evanston, Illinois.
One ICE agent has a man zip-tied and pinned to the ground, repeatedly punching him in the head while pressing his face into the pavement.
This isn’t law enforcement, it’s brutality.
This is disturbing, unlawful, and unacceptable behavior from federal officers operating in our communities.
By far the most disturbing ICE video I’ve seen from Evanston, IL today.
An ICE agent points his gun at unarmed citizens. Twice.
Then, he goes around the SUV, drops to his knees, and presses his full weight onto a man’s back. Moments later, that same man’s head is beaten into the pavement while the agent holds his head down.
When they finally pull him up, his face is swollen and dazed… clearly concussed… and then they slam his head into the SUV and pin it there with their shoulder.
You can’t watch this and call it law enforcement. This is excessive force and criminal assault.
