Terrorism perpetrated by the state. They brought what looks like 20+ jackbooted thugs to arrest one man. This is meant to terrorize supporters of the anti-ICE movement. I don’t want to get banned for promoting violence against the “federal agents”, specifically assassinations, so I won’t suggest such things here. Not calling for that.

    At no point does anyone in the story attempt to justify the explosive breach. They were looking for a guy who was in a car accident with feds and let go.

    If they do this for a simple collision, can you imagine how ICE would react if, while they're off arresting people, a group tipped over their cars? I mean, such a disturbing event would only take about four or five people, which would be terrible. I hope it never happens, especially more than once.

    ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.

    I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

    ICE also claims Narciso Barranco stood his ground and assaulted officers with a weedwacker when he was clearly fleeing on the video. Their claims are worth as much as the toilet paper square I wiped my ass with this morning.

    In a statement Friday afternoon, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during course of a law enforcement operation. During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel. Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.”

    ICE are lying bastards and their time is up.

    Same reason the Mafia or the Cartels don't call the police when something goes down.

    If you don't take care of it yourself how will people know not to fuck with you ?

    Sounds like a little obstruction so they went militant, you can imagine the blood pressure in the room where they were discussing it

    Ramirez said her boyfriend tried to stop the Jeep, but unintentionally hit the truck.

    In which case it is the jurisdiction of the local police to investigate a traffic collision

    This is not a CBP case

    My friend and I had this awesome ski trip planned for Colorado. We changed our plans last night to go to Canada instead.

    I don't know what's more terrifying, the actions of ICE or the faces of the local news anchors as they report on literal fascism in their own city.

    It's not going to be long before these people start acting like medieval warriors who invade villages, ransack them, and have their way with it's people.

    So...Border Patrol is operating more than 100 miles from a land border. Yeah, they're using the loophole of counting international airports as "borders" afterall. Yay.

    ... have the Feds not bombed a private residence for a long time?

    I know of 1985 but I'm sure this is a more regular occurrence.

    There must be a list, but I can't find it on Wiki.

    (To clarify if unclear, the explosives used in this case was to damage the door, not to bring down the building.)

    In case anyone gets suspicious like I was, the domain name seemed... odd to me. I expected something more like losangeles.nbc.com or something.

    But I did a WHOIS lookup and confirmed the company that registered it is NBCUniversal, which is the legal name of the company.

    I also saw KTLA reporting this, but I didn't bother to check them. So yeah, seems like real news, for better or worse.

    I hate that we need to check these things now on top of all the shit going down

    In the US, local news has historically been presented via an "affiliate" model, in which a local company is allowed to air their own programming in a particular region in exchange for a fee. So when you turn to the channel for NBC in los Angeles on the TV, it's from the national NBC most of the time but for local news it will switch to NBC Los Angeles, which is usually a different company. I would imagine NBC Los Angeles was originally an entirely different company than NBC national that later got bought by them.

    The SS and NKVD would be proud of the ICE masked clowns.

    I wonder what the breaking point will be? I worry that we're still a long, long way from it.
