ICE agents committing assaults and other crimes
- Thread starter Poor Richard Saunders

Pro Publica just did a story on US citizens detained by ICE.
www.propublica.org
We compiled and reviewed every case we could find of agents holding citizens against their will, whether during immigration raids or protests. While the tally is almost certainly incomplete, we found more than 170 such incidents during the first nine months of President Donald Trump’s second administration.
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.
Immigration agents do have authority to detain Americans in limited circumstances. Agents can hold people whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.
Immigration agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.
These cases have often wilted under scrutiny. In nearly 50 instances that we have identified so far, charges have never been filed or the cases were dismissed. Our count found a handful of citizens have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

So the result is in on the trial of Sidney Ried who was charged with assault on ICE officers.
A little backstory. The DoJ went to three grand juries to try to get her charged with felony assault on officers. When all three refused to indict her they charged her with two misdemeanors. it went to trial this week. After the 3 day trial, the judge dismissed one of the charges for lack of evidence and the jury found her not guilty of the other one.
Here is a local story on the trial and verdict.
www.wusa9.com
Bates was the sole witness called by prosecutors and spent more than five hours on the stand across two days. Much of the questioning centered on her text messages following the incident, where she downplayed it and disparaged Reid as a "libtard." She didn't turn over additional text message evidence until early Wednesday morning, and in the middle of cross examination, Abe discovered one message was missing.
The missing message was just one of many issues with evidence. Just the night before trial, surveillance footage from a camera that was previously said to be inoperable turned up. Sooknanan grew increasingly frustrated with prosecutors, chastising Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis Wolfe multiple times for playing games in her courtroom.

Days after advocates said they witnessed children who were zip tied at a law enforcement raid on Sunday in southwest Idaho, federal law enforcement agencies denied that claim.
At 3:34 p.m. Wednesday, Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Sandra Yi Barker told the Idaho Capital Sun in a written statement that “Reports suggesting children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets during the October 19 FBI-led operation in Wilder are completely false.”
But less than an hour after denying any kids were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets at the raid, the FBI clarified that no “young” children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets. At 4:18 p.m., Barker released an updated statement adding “young” before the word “children.”

Maybe the Feds need to stop lying then they wouldn't have to issue corrections.

This is what Trump/Miller's America will look like. it is ugly and not being built for the masses.
It has been shown that 70 percent of those ICE brutally arrested had no criminal records. They are people just working,. poying taxes and trying to better themselves.Pro Publica just did a story on US citizens detained by ICE.

I read about one American who hired a bunch of illegals to work on a construction project, then called ICE when it was done, so he did not have to pay them.
Man deported to Laos despite US court order blocking his removal, attorneys say
District judge told Ice to keep Alabama man in US while he showed what judge called ‘substantial claim’ to citizenship
www.theguardian.com
Immigration officials have deported a father living in Alabama to Laos despite a federal court order blocking his removal from the US on the grounds he has a claim to citizenship, the man’s attorneys said on Tuesday.
US district judge Shelly Dick last week ordered US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to keep Chanthila “Shawn” Souvannarath, 44, in the United States while he presented what the judge called his “substantial claim of US citizenship”, court records show

The man above ^^^ deported to Laos has been in America since age 1 and has permanent residency status and was going to demonstrate in his deportation hearing that he already is a citizen via derivative citizenship but the lawless Trump admin avoided that by deporting him in defiance of the Court order.
So the question now is does the lawless Trump team bring him back or do they engage again in laws and slander of him and fight to keep him out?

When more ICEholes start shooting innocent Americans, that's going to provoke a response from most Americans like the Kent State massacre once did.

An interesting story on how DHS is using video from other places to make claims.
The Department of Homeland Security posted a swaggering montage to social media in August declaring it had triumphed in its takeover of Washington, D.C. It showed footage of federal agents fighting what a DHS official called a “battle for the soul of our nation” and working “day and night to arrest, detain and deport vicious criminals from our nation’s capital.”
There was one problem. Several of the clips had been recorded during unrelated operations months earlier, in Los Angeles and West Palm Beach, Florida. The official’s sound bite about deportations in D.C. played over a clip from May showing detainees on a Coast Guard boat off the coast of Nantucket, the Massachusetts island 400 miles away.
This one is funny -
In a video from this month saying Trump had “secured our nation,” DHS shared clips it said showed how past administrations’ failures had let in criminals who “decimated our way of life.” One showed a middle-of-the-night crossing of the Southern border, while another showed a smuggling boat.
The video did not mention, however, that both scenes had played out in 2019, the third year of Trump’s first term.

Back in the United States, officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency were just beginning to realize the brewing problem on their hands: They had mistakenly expelled Mr. Juarez from the United States, placing him on the wrong plane and erroneously dispatching him across a port of entry to Mexico instead of sending him to a detention center in Arizona.
Their actions probably violated federal immigration laws, which entitle most immigrants facing deportation to a hearing before a judge — a hearing Mr. Juarez never had.

Is that so?
Is that a fact?
Cool story. Can you prove it happened exactly as you said?

While I doubt Trump will ever see the inside of a prison...unless visiting Eric or Junior, I'm guessing a few of his cabinet members may well go to prison or end up like Rudy; broken mentally and financially after multiple lawsuits.
