ICE never seems to stop, no matter which states you live in or which political side you affiliate with. California has seen an enormous flurry of activity, from the LA riots to No Kings Day and the violent protests, and more. Well, another incident caught on video is a somber reminder that these violent clashes are happening every day. If it weren’t for citizens capturing it on video, so many immigrants would vanish without a trace. One incident captured fully masked agents brutally detaining an innocent, elderly, brown man.
In a shocking video shared to the PublicFreakout Reddit page, a video captures a hostile arrest in progress. A fully masked and tactically dressed Southern California ICE agent can be seen slamming and violently detaining an elderly man who is face down on the concrete. A woman can be heard screaming, “Hey, get away, get away, hey!” as they pull his arms behind his back and cuff him. Like many other ICE videos, no real reason is given for the arrest, but no matter what the reason, and given their track record, it likely had no cause to be so violent toward someone who is likely a grandfather who clearly isn’t going anywhere.
Many folks had a lot to say on Reddit about the incident in question.
“Bunch of cowards in masks”
“Even the SS at least had the testicular courage to show their faces.”
“Damn, 15 big boys dressed up as elite soldiers to arrest an elderly man…”
“Trumps says everything is fake, even when there is proof. So why don’t we start calling him a fake president w his fake cops and Martial law, they break our rights let’s do the same.”
Whether you are in California or anywhere else in the United States, be careful.ICE is on a rampage, and the only suspicion they need to make an arrest seems to be based on the color of your skin, not your immigration status.
