ICE

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.

 
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."
 
Kristi Noem is going to have to lean deep into the cleavage to talk her way out of this issue.

 
ICE cut off her wedding ring.

Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old U.S. citizen. A grandmother. White. 5’4”.
She stood on a public sidewalk in Minnesota and asked officers one question.

Minutes later, she was thrown to the ground, cuffed, shackled for hours, and disappeared — for asking a question.

If this can happen to Sue Tincher, it can happen to anyone.

This is un-American. Unconstitutional. Unacceptable.

Man accused of illegally towing ICE SUV during raid found not guilty


A South L.A. tow truck driver has been found not guilty of federal charges after being accused of towing a government vehicle used by ICE during an immigration arrest earlier this year.




LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A South Los Angeles tow truck driver has been found not guilty of federal charges after being accused of towing a government vehicle used by ICE during an immigration arrest earlier this year.

Bobby Nuñez, 33, was charged with theft of government property and faced up to ten years in prison before a jury found him not guilty on Friday.

In a statement, the U.S. Attorney's office said, "The trial lasted four days. The jury deliberated for more than three hours. We have no further comment."

ORIGINAL REPORT: Federal agents arrest man accused of illegally towing government vehicle during immigration raid

The South L.A. man is accused of interfering with government officers by illegally towing their vehicle as they arrested a popular social media influencer.


The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a video in September showing a rogue tow truck driver snatching an immigration agent's government SUV in the middle of a raid in downtown L.A. in August.

The raid targeted a popular influencer, Tatiana Martinez, who was reportedly livestreaming the immigration enforcement activity to thousands on TikTok. The same video shows her being pulled from her car and arrested.

The popular social media influencer's attorney believes she was targeted because she was using her platform with more than 47,000 followers to record and report ICE activity.



Federal immigration agents were sent scrambling when the tow truck operator took off with one of their vehicles as they were making the arrest.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles Bilal "Bill" Essayli posted the video of the arrest to X, writing, "Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice."

According to a news release from Essayli's office, law enforcement officers used two vehicles to block Martinez's vehicle and prevent her from escaping. The government vehicles reportedly had their emergency lights on.

During Martinez's arrest, Nuñez reportedly pressed the passenger side door of her vehicle on an officer, who then threatened Martinez with arrest. After he was told what was happening, Essayli's office said the man told them, "Something was going to happen."

While officers addressed a second man accused of intervening with the arrest, Nuñez allegedly got into his tow truck and towed one of the government vehicles away. The keys were reportedly inside, in addition to a firearm locked in a safe.
