While many Americans are still living in fear because of the many ICE raids, some citizens have had enough and are fighting back. This weekend, a whole neighborhood in San Diego, California, chased a group of ICE agents away. They banded together in the street, filmed them, and started shouting at them until they moved to their vehicle and drove away from the area. It was really surprising to see a lot of people coming together to stop another unjustified and sketchy ICE raid.
The video was posted by user jaydee9748 on TikTok. In it, you can observe a group of sketchy ICE agents in a San Diego neighborhood. These supposed ICE officers arrived with full tactical gear. Some of them were even carrying grenade launchers, which just shows they are just doing scare tactics instead of a proper job.
Initially, you can hear the whole neighborhood screaming, “Shame!” Soon after, one of the masked men starts motioning the vehicle to back up, and the people follow up with a “Yeah, back up.” The ICE group starts walking backwards once people start gathering around them until they open the doors of the vehicle and flee the neighborhood. As the vehicle starts leaving, people yell at them, “You’re a bunch of cowards.”
Sadly, this is just one of the many ridiculous ICE operations where these “officers” arrive with facemasks to harass people and detain others without any justification. Thankfully, citizens have started to fight back and have managed to keep ICE at bay.
As you can imagine, many San Diegans and other people across the internet shared their comments on the matter:
“So proud of my city and fellow San Diegans! **** ICE, Trump, and anyone else celebrating the second coming of the Gestapo.” – UnitedByBass via Reddit.
“ICE – Gestapo 2.0” – Specialist_Lock8590 via Reddit.
While the war is not over, one fight has been won by the brave people in San Diego. It is uncertain if ICE returned to the neighborhood late. Furthermore, there was never any information about this operation or raid, so everything seemed highly sketchy.
