    Thanks for filming this. It is important to not look away, to let them know that we protest what is happening, and keep watching their every move. Good on getting the car plates, the only thing identifiable besides their faces.

    Who knows what they would’ve done if no-one was looking.

    And good on the arrestees, some of the best passive resistance I have ever seen there.

    But what gets me most is the amateurishness of the whole thing. The truck is totally unsuitable for what they’re doing there, they obviously wear private clothes, their vests seem to be labeled whatever (POLICE? ORE?) and they’re fucking helpless getting two guys who aren’t cooperating into a truck. A hastily thrown together troupe of willing goons. It’s a travesty, which just adds insult to injury.

    And we literally don’t know who they are. Anybody could drive up and start pulling people out of houses.

    I can’t express my disgust and anger - and empathy.

    No badge numbers, masked, using civilian vehicles with civilian plates. These guys could be literally anybody just kidnapping people.

    Just goes to show the danger this precedent sets.

      I don’t understand why other people aren’t dressing like ICE and showing up and getting physical with them

    The land of the free facists

    And the home of the brave weak willed racists.
