I know of no law that says you have the right to resist arrest, even if wrongfully detained. There are civil lawsuits filed everyday based on violations of the constitution. This guy might have a case. But that doesn't mean you can take the law into your own hands.
This incident is emblematic of my major issue with these "raids".
They are just "fishing" they have no idea who is or who isn't illegal.
Everybody would have issue with them doing this to their own American citizen child,
who might have gotten a great tan over the summer and suddenly be targeted.
Agree on this, and have several clients affected by it. But even if my son was targeted, my advice would be to comply with the officer's requests, and not resist arrest, unless he wants to get seriously injured or even killed.
We have the judiciary to sort out the details.
Who are you complying with? We are now seeing "fake" ICE, people who are wearing military gear and harassing people on the street because ICE is not identifying themselves.
This is a sad time in our history. There's a video of a handcuffed female detainee being taken into a portapotty by an ICE agent while his partner stays in the car.
And none of this is remotely effective.
Oh no! Well I guess we can't enforce immigration laws anymore. Darn it.
Don't be obtuse. What other law do we enforce by grabbing random people and forcing them to prove their innocence?
Maybe we should militarize the IRS and have them grave citizens in Highland Park and force them to show their tax returns or set up road blocks to make sure everyone has a license.
Mr. Chung, it's not happening to you, so it's ok?
By masked agents? If being asked to prove your innocence you should have the right to see your accuser. This is South American death squad stuff, not US Federal Agents.
2 years ago there was out cry on this Board about the tacticalization of the Federal Government and law enforcement, not to mention the weaponization of Agencies. Now under Trump it is not only ok, but growing.
Are you comparing ICE going after foreign invaders to the FBI going after Jan 6ers?
One group came here to loot and pillage, the other group came to stop their own government from stealing an election.
I am talking stopping people on the steet in daylight. These are not DEA tactical raids breaking into a house to get them. It is in the middle of the street with civilians around. Tactical Used to be for a specific operation, this is day to day. One of those guys could stip me or you,we have no recourse. We will be zip tied and thrown in the system having to prove innocence to masked gunman. All they need is for that AEGIS illegal radar to be turned on us. Get it, there is no accountability. No info on how many were legal. What evidence to go after them. That matters.
.
If a masked ICE agent stopped you, hogtied you, and tossed you into a detention center, are you saying you have no recourse because he was masked? But if he had no mask, you would have recourse?
ICE is operating without any paperwork - none? ICE has no records of which of its agents are on any given assignment? ICE has no idea who is working for it because its agents wear masks?
Get real.
Biden let in 12 million thugs and helpful white liberals are hunting down ICE agents - damn right they need to wear masks.
You are good with the tactical, masked Federal Officers with no ID. I can only hope you get to experience it. Maybe its not immigration for you, maybe ATF, Customs, or in the future IRS. Who knows. Federal agent is Federal agent.
This is not the US. Deport, prosecute,arrest. But not as El Salvador circa 1980.
Or the ATF under Janet Reno.
