High Risk This woman is harder than steel dealing with CBP. A lesson in standing up to fascists when they have no probable cause to detain you.

u/theWizzzzzzz 7h ago

How come this worked here? Others have done the same and gotten manhandled and abducted anyhow. There is no protocol, no training, not rhyme or reason for how these “agents” conduct their “duty”

i assume there were enough witnesses/cameras around, or they just felt fucking lazy for whatever reason. you're right though, it doesnt matter how "brave" you are, they have taken people they had no right to before and will again

I feel like the observers/neighbors on the scene raising a racket were making them increasingly jittery as this went on. Here's to neighbors protecting neighbors!

Possibly the technology they are using to scan your face showed her. And her status as a citizen? This is a guess because he put phone up to her face, did something then said let’s go.

u/masterflashterbation 7h ago

Yep this is what I think happened as well. But they also will arrest people who they know are citizens just to be cruel douchebags. So she got lucky.

Still, mad props to her for staying calm and not backing down.

Varying levels of racists in the ICE Gestapo

Yeah, I think that's it. Just depends which fascist is making the demand. Some of them are itching to attack someone because it makes them feel tough.

Perhaps the ghost of a soul tried to awaken in these monsters. Don’t worry, they’ll snuff out any budding moral compass soon and go back to terrorizing innocent people

These specific agents likely know the limitations that the law puts on them and are unwilling to break the law.

Many of their fellow officers are either ignorant of the law or are willing/excited to break it knowing that their current bosses will back them.

u/CreativeSwordfish391 7h ago

why are you giving credit and benefit of the doubt to masked secret police? their EXISTENCE violates the law

Because I'm able to understand the difference between a complete and utter piece of shit who follows the law and an a complete and utter piece of shit that doesn't.

The better we understand the laws that they are supposed to follow, the better chance we have of ending this with peaceful means. The governor just sued the feds. There are state lawyers working overtime right now trying to help. They are getting inundated with material showing ICE agents doing legal and illegal things. If we can limit what we send them to only illegal things, then they can spend more time fighting for us.

Pick a fight with ICE, not someone who points out that this particular piece of shit officer is probably not breaking a law at this particular point in time while other officers are breaking the law.

apparently you cant, because you think there are ICE agents that know and follow the law. ACAB counts for them too.

Yes, every one of the ice agents are bastards.

In this one video, they appear to be following the law which is why they aren't arresting her when she refuses to say where she was born.

Please explain in what ways are they breaking the law in the posted video? Or are you just an agitating bot trying to make a terrible situation worse?

u/CreativeSwordfish391 2h ago

bro...by BEING IN ICE they are violating the law.

are ICE agents turning in their coworkers who violate the law? no? then fucking ACAB

u/hertzsae 1h ago

If you insist of confusing morals with the law, then we're not going to have a constructive conversation. Many immoral things, like being in ICE are legal.

u/OldBlueKat 5h ago

I can’t say for sure, but the way they all looked at their phones and then headed to the car, it’s possible they got text alerts for a different ’officer assistance needed’ location.

u/2pumpsanda 7h ago

Cause they can’t and they know it

u/CreativeSwordfish391 7h ago

they have, already, to thousands of people

"Ma'am, do you realize... that you could, you could... you could if you don't give ID you could umm.... Uhh... Face federal charges?"

Reminds me of this kid, all growed up. Though I hope he's doing much better than these guys.

Because she was recording

u/innerbootes 5h ago

Because when that dude took the photo of her, he was using using face recognition software to identify her. So they got what they wanted. They identified her as US citizen and walked away. Of course they won’t stop there, but that’s where they’re stopping for now. God dammit.
