This same ICE agent was filmed recently getting into an ICE vehicle with a Mexican flag sticker on it.

Activists in L.A. identified this CBP officer earlier this yr. Today, he choked, body slammed and detained a young man in Chicago. What's particularly fashy about this moment is that CBP officers get to commit crimes w/ impunity and people who tell you their identities are charged with felonies.

A known CBP officer chokes a young man who said mean things to him.

A post on IG that identifies the CBP officer who choked and assaulted the young man. It states "The Department of Homeland Security recently sent Meta a Subpoena demanding to identify @stopicenet , @longbeachrapidresponse , and other instagram accounts who reported on Simeon last month. The subpoena referenced a “criminal investigation” noting “officer safety / doxxing.”

A federal court has since issued a temporary order blocking the Subpoena from DHS.

This is certainly not the first time we have seen ICE / Border Patrol agents violently attack people for exercising their First Amendment rights. These attacks are part of a larger pattern of intimidation designed to “punish” anyone who speaks out against the unconstitutional and reckless raids currently occupying and terrorizing our communities.

It is your LEGAL RIGHT to observe, record and document any law enforcement activity in plainly visible spaces. We will continue exercising our First Amendment rights in the interest of free speech, legal transparency and public reporting.

Stay aware, stay alert, be vigilant.  Report ICE activity directly from your phone at WWW.STOPICE.NET / @stopicenet  Text “JOIN” to 877-322-2299 to get local alerts Text “REPORT” to send an alert
Text “RADAR” w/ zipcode to check ICE activity nearby"

Is this the country where you want to live? Where people get assaulted (and hospitalized) just for talking?

Lynda Lopez @lyndab08.bsky.social · 6d

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

We need someone like him or Newsom that have a backbone to stand up to tyrants and bully's. If blue states pull out (secede) red states are f**ked as they have always depended on blue states for help. Time to play hardball.

Just recently re-watched that excellent Mini-Series:

‘Band of Antifa Brothers’

Brilliant Show..where they focus on an American Army Co. within the 101st Airborne Division (Easy Co.) & their heroic deeds holding off the…FASCISTS in WW2.

Yeah, that’s right, they were Anti-Fascists. 🤔
