The state of the country continues to sadden many of us, especially with how aggressive the immigration operations have become. As you know, ICE has become “creative” in the way it does things and has started targeting people outside of some establishments. One such case occurred this weekend when a group of ICE agents was seen outside a Home Depot in Van Nuys, California, detaining a couple of men. However, after listening to their cries for help, these “operations” look more like kidnappings.
User 45gallo shared the clip on TikTok that they recorded of a recent ICE raid outside of a Home Depot in Van Nuys. While one would think this is a normal immigration operation (although there’s nothing normal with them), it actually looks like ICE is, once again, targeting people who have done nothing wrong. In the footage, you can observe a group of military-clad ICE agents. One of them pushes a bystander, telling them not to interfere in an ongoing investigation. The civilian tells the agents, “He has done nothing wrong. Why are you on top of him?” Referring to the two officers who are pushing a single man down on the ground, kneeling on top of him.
However, the shocking part comes next, as the one recording says, “You were trying to run him over with a vehicle.” Then, the ICE agent says, referring to the one detained, “There’s no need for him to get on my face.” To which the one filming replies, “There’s no need for you to run over him with a f*cking car.”
At the same time, you can see how the ICE agents kidnap another person by throwing them inside a vehicle and running away from the scene. You can even listen to the sound of the tires screeching due to how fast these officers wanted to leave the place.
Then, the camera turns back to the man who was on the ground, and we can see he’s standing up now. One agent even put the man’s hat back on aggressively. Soon after, they try to restrain the man again, twisting his leg and lifting him up. The victim starts screaming, “Help!” And the one filming says, “He was just standing in a parking lot.” The four agents carry the man to a van while the person with the camera starts screaming for help.
Sadly, this is where the video ends, but we can imagine what happened to the poor people. And, as you can imagine, many TikTok users shared their thoughts on the alarming situation.
“That’s the reason why the U.S. is hated by so many, that’s why so many Americans are leaving the Country.” – Trumpminator via TikTok.
“No one in the USA is safe anymore. No one!” – Radfemgrandma2 via TikTok.
Unfortunately, this is the state of the country we live in right now, and there are no signs of things improving anytime soon. We can only hope for ICE to stop these kidnappings because they are getting out of hand.
