I could watch these all day long.

They have never arrested anyone peacefully. And it is illegal for them to arrest US citizens, over whom they have no jurisdiction.

This is incorrect. You are going to get people hurt with this misinformation.

ICE can arrest citizens for interference with their operations under 18 U.S.C. § 111 and related statutes. Physically blocking ICE vehicles with your own, for instance.

8 USC 1357(5) makes it completely legal for an ICE agent to arrest a US citizen committing a crime against the US in their presence. pic.twitter.com/fBiTpQJC1q

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
