A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.

The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.

Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”

Remember in 2019 when Hong Kong protestors called the US for help?

Yeah... about that... 👀

(I saw the image and I immediately thought of Hong Kong)

This is eventually going to result in a new Black Panther or Guardian Angel group like the 60s/70s.

Will be interesting to see these masked pieces of shit face some actual competition brandishing fucking rifles.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Maybe they'll use the rifles?

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 26 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, then martial law and suspended elections. It’s almost like their plans are publicly available.

Surely the don't tread on me people are fuming and about to patrol the streets to keep their communities safe, right?

[–] ssroxnak@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

ICE isn't going to their communities

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago

Don't Tread on me people are perfectly fine with other people getting tread on.

""Better to be judged by 12 than to be kidnapped and dragged to a death camp by as few as 2!"

I've only heard the "don't tread on me" weirdos sing the cell block tango. "they had it coming, they only had themselves to blame."

Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Fourteenth Amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

They continue to violate the Constitution in so many ways. The Constitution recognizes "person" as any human on US soil.

  • unless you're brown or darker.

You made the classic mistake of forgetting the footnote, silly! See, now it all makes sense!

If they don't identify themselves, they are kidnappers and

SECOND AMENDMENT.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I see the 5th and 14th above... as a non American, can someone post the Second Amendment and then I'll be able to post all three amendments to thousands of posts. And feel smug about it.

Seriously, these need to be constantly posted in every single thread where it's required

Sure, but that only counts if you have due process, and if people are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But if you don't get your day in court, you can't do anything about this.

Oh so we're using lethal force (tasers) on suspected illegal immigrants now?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 17 hours ago

alot of them are also just dressing up as ice, not employed by them too.

I have no idea how not a single ICE agent has been killed yet?
Apparently the good guy with a gun is a myth.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

It's possible they have, and those incidents get suppressed for fear of encouraging imitators - similar to Luigi Mangione.

News sites want you scared, but not angry.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 155 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they don't try this shit with people who look like they can hit back, most of those have real arrest warrants on them so they can leave that for local and state cops to deal with and just focus on ambushing students and day laborers and people with small children

I am low key shocked that some group of vigilantes hasn’t straight up ambushed a pack of ICEheads yet.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 10 points 22 hours ago

It always has been.

Well Harris wasn’t progressive enough for me so this is okay so we can show the democrats we’re sick of them.

The fuck is the point of 2a if not to resist this?

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For many Americans, I think the reason for their support of 2A is so they can help the fascists against the rest of us. Most 2A supporters that I've met are not what I'd call good people. For the rest of us, it's hard to find someone willing to die in the hail of bullets that will certainly follow the first shot of the resistance.

They are also simply not in their neighborhoods.

Reminder: nazis are worthless pieces of trash. Who could possibly still pull out of this mess with major life changes and yadda yadda.

Nazi COPS are not saveable. They are monsters.

End qualified immunity! Any politicians that want a future in government should be call for this.
