While some allow ICE to torment the country, a few citizens are standing their ground against these kidnappers. A shocking incident occurred in South California, where a woman witnessed a group of ICE agents arresting people outside a Home Depot. Instead of just recording the situation or standing still, she decided to confront the masked officers. While the agents dismissed her, it shows that there are Americans willing to fight for the injustice that is happening a lot in the US right now, and serves as an example that other people should follow.
The clip comes from NBC Bay Area, which shows a woman in South California standing up against several masked ICE agents. You can see the woman approaching one masked man, who tells her, “You need to stop right there.” However, instead of complying with that, the woman replies, “You need to stop kidnapping people on the f*cking street.”
The footage then shows an interview with the woman, and she claims it was a scary situation for her and those around the area. She was passing outside a Home Depot and saw two men being tied up by these alleged ICE agents. The woman also mentions how she approached ICE and asked what they were doing and if they were only arresting workers. However, ICE told the woman that other people’s criminal history was “none of her business.”
However, she has a good point. Seeing masked armed men outside stores doesn’t give anyone that sense of safety, and also, agents camping outside these public areas doesn’t seem exactly legal or ethical.
After seeing this brave woman confront the agents, people shared their thoughts and praises, and some even said that more people should be like her.
Love to see white women speaking up for folks in the community!
Other TikTok users also keep mentioning how the US is doing things that seem highly unethical and illegal.
“I feel like the USA is crossing many unlawful laws on people who work very hard so that their family can have food and a roof to live under.” One user commented.
The sad reality is that these situations will not stop anytime soon. However, that doesn’t mean we have to stand idly by waiting for ICE to kidnap people or detain the wrong citizen. Speaking up makes a huge difference and shows that, as citizens, we are morally opposed to this unethical behavior.
