Bil Essayli, the Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, has filed charges against Martinez for resisting the work of federal employees. Essayli accuses the detainee of punching one of the Border Patrol officers in the face, something that is not shown on video and is not included in the indictment.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported Thursday that it has detected a 500% increase in cases of harassment of police officers in charge of carrying out operations against undocumented immigrants. “Just this week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car while arresting an illegal alien sex offender,” said Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the DHS.

The official accused Democratic politicians, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, of inciting hatred against the officers. “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is despicable. This violence against ICE must end,” she said.

Fuck this whole fascist culture of abusers painting themselves as victims. Fuck this business of them declaring people to be criminals with no evidence and no trial. We know who the violent ones are here. We know who the masked thugs are. It's shameful how these people lie so brazenly and so readily.

If they're not showing official i.d. they're just random thugs as far as the public knows.

Then you'll have a warrant, and you'll still have to prove it, cunt.

Grass root movements! Very hopeful to see. Hopefully they are in for the long haul.

Man these guys keeping their shit together while ICE cower behind masks, guns and armor is down right impressive.

They want violence so fucking bad. Blocking their vehicles, overwhelming their arrests, preventing their ability to shelter comfortably? They will either snap and massacre or gradually just get unmotivated to keep trying it.

I couldn't do this. In the one video, when I heard one of the agents arm their weapon my own fight or flight activated, and that adrenaline pumped hard. Logically, it sort of makes sense. If they're going to start shooting, I'm not going to make it to a safe spot. If I can't run then it's fight.

TL;DR of this article: WAHHHHHH! STOP RESISTING!

If they don't want to be compared to the GeStaPo, have they tried not to behave like the GeStaPo did?

They're not "officers" they're thugs.

The word officer carries an idea that you adhere to certain rules and regulation. I know this is already pretty flakey with normal US police, ICE however seems to have less rules and procedure and common decency than a band of hells angels.
