From the article: "Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center. The footage, which ProPublica has reviewed, backed the family’s account of the chase."

The disturbing part isn’t that bad encounters happen — it’s that these techniques are officially banned, yet keep showing up across unrelated cases. When policy and on-the-ground behavior diverge this consistently, it stops looking like individual misconduct and starts looking like a systems problem.

Normally you’d be right but this is not that situation and I’m somewhat shocked you don’t realize it.

Just today ICE raided a target. Arrested US citizens at random including minors. Then pushed them from moving trucks onto the highway.

You need to understand what is happening. You think complying works? The social contract has been broken.

1 doesn’t seem to be happening… rather in the case of the woman shot attorneys were directed to investigate her family.

In the meantime ICE seems to be trying to simply provoke a response time and again with no consequences.

The volume of videos are endless. ICE agents walking up to protesters and shoving them to the ground, drive by pepper spraying, it goes on. These aren’t one off situations, this is every day in Minneapolis these days.

to counter 2) ICE is not police. There is nothing differentiating them from armed thugs. No bages, no ID's, no faces etc. There is no reason to do ANYTHING these people ask.

to counter 3) I would say there's a clear chick and egg here. ICE started behaving in a way that is now being met with an equal and opposite reactionary force. If ICE can stop acting like some SS wannabe force, the vigilantism goes away as well. The rules and laws are for everyone, not just some.
