I’ve seen some strong opinions on social media lately. Normally, I just scroll along and go on with my day, but I saw a video today that literally made me stop in my tracks. The video revolved around a gentleman named Brandon Fellows, who likes to dress up as an ICE agent and go into Home Depots in the Washington DC area to scare “the illegals.” If you don’t believe him, he’s wearing the costume in the video and even reveals to viewers where they can buy their own and tips for sizing. He tops off the outfit with a backward MAGA hat in black, likely so that others don’t notice it from a distance.
The interviewer, from news outlet Courier, begins the video by asking Fellows, who has his back turned, if he is an employee with ICE. Almost as though he was excited to be asked the question, Fellows turns around and begins explaining what he is doing. What makes his actions so strange is that, while he claims to be doing this to scare illegal immigrants, the act in itself is illegal to begin with. Commenters on the video were quick to acknowledge this.
“Complains about “illegals” while doing something illegal.”
Fellows, of Schenectady, New York, is not a stranger to unlawful acts, as he participated in the January 6, 2021, siege against the White House. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison just last year, but it appears that he was released, as he appears in the above video.
After explaining why he is wearing the costume and what he’s been doing with it, the interviewer backs away and addresses the camera directly, condemning Brandon for his actions. He even claims that he is “one of the worst people I’ve seen here… and that’s saying something.” Hopefully, Fellows will be arrested for a different act, and we won’t need to hear him involved in any more attacks against immigrants.
