Video appears to show an explosion set off by federal agents as they entered a Huntington Park home in an early morning law enforcement operation that startled a woman who was inside the house with her two young children.
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.
My Christian relatives are big fans of the Bible, supposedly.
I believe there’s something in there about “from dust we were made, to dust we return” (paraphrased) so it would even be biblical, as long as we dry and pulverize the fertilizer!
This is sounding better and better. I do want a much bigger garden so I can grow more of my own food…
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.”
I can’t really put it into words but it feels like this should be the job of the police and that someone should be able to hold ICE accountable for this, AND hand the case over to the police. But the polices does not seem to be much better, so potato, potahto?
Indeed, in a working ideal model(see below for more on this*) of society the police exist to enforce the rule/spirit of law equally to all people.
ICE should ostensibly be a federal branch that is held to account by the government as a whole and deals specifically with customs and immigration related issues.
Citizens with no customs or immigration issues aren’t really part of that mandate so it should be handed off to the relevant authorities that do in fact deal with that type of ‘crime’.
Things are so far removed from that, that ICE is effectively running on gang/gestapo rules at this point and the government is actively encouraging it.
* So, by working ideal model i’m describing a point of view using traditional ideals of fairness and law, that assume the system is working towards that ideal.
The current system is not at all set up that way, so even if it seems batshit , this might actually be the system working as intended by the current sitting majority power (or if you’re really cynical like me, capitalism as a whole).
So not only are you fighting to move the overton window in a direction that resembles the storybook ideals of fairness and equality, you are also fighting the existing imposed status quo.

Well the one thing we know for certain is that whatever follows these words absolutely, without a doubt, did not happen.

Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I’d say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.
Don’t undersell your own shit.
Hey, with enough will power and fed up people, an ICE agent could also be used as fertilizer.

They won’t even show their faces or credentials yet we’re also supposed to take their words as gospel truth
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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
ICE and police lack any credibility, it’s a creative writing exercise.
Ice-tipping, I love it.
