They arrested this guy in LA when the plane landed and once again FUCK ICE.
post
One video posted on social media showed a man yelling and crying on the ground in Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday when a man and a masked woman, both in plainclothes, tried to control, handcuff and detain him. When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found no outstanding warrants for the man, removed his handcuffs and notified ICE.
They know what they’re doing is illegal, and accountability terrifies them.
Is there some reason to assume these were even actual ICE agents? That pair should have been detained/arrested pending a determination of their identities and evidence that they have the legal authority to assault and detain anyone. This could very well have been an attempted kidnapping disguised as an ICE attack. If the fucking cops don't detain them, we'll never actually know.
The only indication that they are ICE agents is the evident fact that they are completely untrained, incompetent, and totally unsuited to any kind of law enforcement employment.
The article says this happened in one of the terminals, meaning past the TSA checkpoints. No way imposters would have made it through TSA screening with badges, handcuffs, and likely other unnecessary tactical gear. TSA had to explicitly let them through.
I mean depending on who was actually being attacked it could have been US, Turkish, Israeli, or Saudi intelligence pretending to be ICE agents.
Disgusting. Any reasonable person being attacked like this would fight back, and then they'd shoot them. The U.S. is done. No sane person should come here, and I need to get my shit together and get the hell out.
This. I cannot imagine what’s going on in the heads of people still visiting that cesspool. I’m a white dude with no record and could theoretically visit. I’d live in California, even. The problem is these damned morals and ethics that stop me from bringing myself and my money to a place that doesn’t value or respect humanity at all anymore. Not above profits and racism, anyway.
Godspeed, Americans. If you ever decide to rise up, I’d join in. I think much of the world would.
Uhm, they were trying to arrest him at the international terminal? International terminals are Sterile Zones, where departing passengers have formally exited the country. That's pretty much like ICE arresting someone while they're physically in Mexico.
It's hard to tell, the article is poorly written. There's something about an Australian guy getting arrested at LAX, not sure if that's related to what happened in LV or not.
At any rate, it's kinda stupid to arrest someone at an airport even before they've gone through security. They're likely leaving the country and will have to present themselves to a customs official anyway. Instead of wasting money on prosecuting someone that overstayed, it's better just to let them leave, maybe charge them a fine or whatever.
It's just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
Unless we all band together and start pushing back and defend ourselves we will all be on the ground cuffed or have a bullet hole in our heads.
I also want to point out how often these violent goons dress exactly like the sterotypical violent goons showcased in "get your CCW!" posters and targets; the ones responsible Americans are supposed to be training to protect themselves from getting jumped by.
Weird, huh?
Otherwise they dress like the school bully whose mom gave them $50 to spend at the airsoft store.
Maybe citizens should start physically intervening when non-uniformed people are trying to cuff random folks.
You mean like Renee and Alex?
It's happening every day, we just aren't hearing about it.
I live here and even I have to dig to find the reports and videos.
Many people have intervened many times. Minneapolis and Charlotte come to mind as city whose entire MO for weeks was intervening.
In many situations it seems like enough to film them and they back off, like here. For Joan Sebastian, shot and killed by ICE last Monday in Maine, he was driving and there weren't many people around to intervene at 7am. Bystanders did film part of the incident after Joan had already been shot, and it's part of the evidence against the crazy fuck that shot him. I don't know how anybody could have stepped in based on what I saw.
I imagine myself witnessing situations like these so that I am ready.
America, the spineless society, all talk with very little action from it’s people.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t snapped yet and held an ICE agent hostage, I’m sure ICE agents would love their job even more when people start pulling guns on them more frequently and out of nowhere.
I guess not as many people are suicidal as you think.
Almost like the human body will do everything in its power to stay alive.
Its matter of time until they try to grab the wrong person, and someone starts shooting, and it turns into a street battle. It's inevitable, and "PeeWee Himmler" would love nothing more.
You coward.
You sit behind your keyboard and type this bullshit out - just like Donald Trump when he sits on his toilet every night to post "truths" on his shitty social media platform.
Come over here and make a difference if you're so goddamn brave.
Most people who stand up to these people don't even make the fucking news. And the brave ones that do don't even get justice. Go Google Renee and Alex and educate yourself on our actual challenges you ignoranus.
We're fighting, and you're ignoring us. You don't give a fuck. It's no skin off your back, eh? Just sit back and call us names. Just like the GOP. Donald Trump applauds your efforts here, he appreciates you and hopes this catches on.
Coward? You Americans got your 2nd amendment, sort your country out, it’s not the job of a foreigner to figure out how your country should operate.
Every day your country floods the news market with absurd headlines.
Most people who stand up to these people don't even make the fucking news. And the brave ones that do don't even get justice.
You’re telling me Renée Good or Alex Pretti didn’t make the news? I remember outrage about their passings, what did your country do in response?
Take some responsibility for your nations actions and be the change you want to see.
Your humility is truly inspiring. I can only imagine the amount of good you put out into the world (and that I could only hope to achieve). Especially with the eloquent way in which you speak; fuck... shivers and goosebumps
How easy it is to forget about class, and instead just preach and judge. Cause ya know, division is the only way to peace
Everyone appreciates you're anger btw, we definitely don't have enough of it

Plain clothes, nothing that declares they are an agent, walks away when confronted... That's all suspicious as hell. It could just be a fucking mugging.
Looked like some random assholes beating on an old man. They should have arrested them.
