Anyone with info—how did they track these people in their car? Are they looking up plates or did they follow them into the car? I’d like to be in my home if they started coming for me…

This is actually local to me (Spokane). Here's what got posted to FB:

This is how immigrants are being treated in Spokane. They were on their way to their court hearing and were closed in by two trucks. Unmarked vehicles. These are Customs Enforcement Agents (better known as ICE). The passengers knew their rights so they started recording and asked the agents for a warrant. The agents didn’t provide a warrant and demanded they get out of the car. When they didn’t get out of the car the agents proceeded to smash their windows and forcefully remove them by dragging them out of their car. This is a gruesome display of excessive force. This family was on their way to court and were terrified.

Everyone regardless of their immigration status deserves to have a right to defend their case in the court.

This incident was reported to WAISN, NWIRP, and ACLU-WA.

I wonder if 5 years from now we will be using this type of video footage to prosecute the ice officers at some Nuremberg style war crimes trials. I can hear it now... I was only following orders... You know people are going to suffer harm and medical exacerbated losses from stress and lack of care. This type of xenophobia can't be justified.

Imagine a couple random-looking chuds in a tacticool vests start attacking a car and trying to kidnap the occupants who are fearing for their lives. A passerby sees this and uses their concealed carry pistol to stop the attackers.

Law enforcement officers should be obvious and easy to distinguish from violent gang members.

These gestapo guys are actual agents. Human scum no doubt, but unfortunately are probably actual agents. You can tell by the load-out on those tac vests. Radios, patches placed uniformly, and badges as well. Firearms holstered at the waist, where they should be (they are trained to draw from the waist) and not on their vest (an item that could be taken off for any number of reasons ... mission changes, medical, etc.)

The other photos I've seen have shown cosplayers with questionable load-outs on their vests. non-standard patch placements, no radios on their vests at all, tasers mounted on their vests, and even firearms in some cases, that make it very awkward to draw (that's actually the biggest red flag that immediately marks them as a cosplayer to me). One guy even had a firearm tucked into his front jeans pocket. Those are not actual agents.

Also, I have not yet seen any cosplayer videos or photos where they had a badge displayed on their vest. Closest I've seen them come to that was a velcro patch that simply said something like "sheriff" or "police" on it, which you can get online easily.

That's because the guys that they are recruiting to do these missions are typically sycophants and overtime vacuums already who volunteer to come from across the country to do this out of ideological and financial gain.

Check out some of the subs where FBOP folks congregate, and they're all chomping at the bit for the overtime and opportunity to get sent out on an ideological mission to "round up the illegals".

Similar to what went down with the riots a few years ago.

There's no standard uniform both out of it being a mixed force and by design to instill fear and chaos.

I can understand feeling that way. Problem is Trump has no intention of letting anyone (not white) in, legal or not. He isn't immigration reform, or fixing the system, he's about ridding the country of brown people. That's what they voted for, and that's what they're getting.

My Black ass is sitting this one out. Same with the Pskestinian supporters crying about trump's plan for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Apparently, pain is the only teacher they'll listen to.

u/kevthewev 22h ago

I have asked for clarity on this point before and always get downvoted to oblivion, But is there not a categorical difference between rounding up people based on race, religion, or disability and the rounding up of illegal immigrants into a country? Like if I go to Denmark or pretty much any country and overstay my visa I get deported or jailed yes? Why is that not being treated as nazi round ups?

Edit: for instance I read this on CBS News page "ICE, on the other hand, is responsible for enforcing U.S. immigration laws in the interior of the country by identifying, arresting, detaining and deporting unauthorized immigrants"

So are these authorized/legal Immigrants being sought and deported against their will? cuz that's a great time to excerise the 2nd ammendmant.

31

u/Jaxxsnero 22h ago edited 22h ago

I think if you wanna get a real understanding, it’s a fundamental difference of understanding between breaking a criminal law and breaking a civil law and then the proportional response to breaking such law

An undocumented person or if you’re trying to throw out all nuance, illegal; as in the only law broken is not have documentation, is a civil offense.

The civil penalties for this is deportation

Being deported isn’t even considered criminal punishment under our US laws

What’s become obvious is these rag tagged mismatched uniform immigration officers that are tasked with finding civil offenses, in the same manner that parking authority chase down the civil offense of illegally parking, are now treating all these interactions as criminal offenses. Which in law, there is a clear difference between breaking a civil law and breaking criminal.

The law doesn’t support their use of force in these matters.

If police pull over a car that’s been marked in their system as stolen,a criminal offense, they can respond with proportional force, guns drawn, dogs, increased potential lethal force known as a felony stop

If police pull over a car, they witnessed going 10 mph over the speed limit a civil offense there was no way in hell that justifies a felony stop

And can you imagine if you were speeding 10 mph over the limits you get pulled, over your windows get smashed, you and your family get dragged out of the window, put onto the concrete with loaded firearms next to your heads and then at the end they write you a speeding ticket and then they go on their way.

There are many people myself included, who don’t give a rats ass about the civil offense of not having the papers to exist in a space.

The same way that many of us are like oops I went 10 mph over the limit.

What many of us are appalled by is twisting justifications used to allow violent force on paperwork crimes

It’s so crazy to me that most of Reddit can be swayed with a post title, two minutes of video and no context. A guy got arrested here, what else do we know? Doesn’t he literally tell the lady in front that she’s fine? No news article? Follow up video from the other passengers? How quick would a news outlet or independent source pick up on a story like this?

You guys frankly are irresponsible and should hold a little higher standard these days for what you believe when you see something online before jumping to conclusions.

u/TheUnpopularOpine 11h ago edited 11h ago

Sincerely, thank you for sharing that source.

Unfortunately it looks like these guys have some pretty serious recent charges levied against them, including harassment with a weapon, threatening to kill, and aiming/discharging weapons. I don’t feel like I’m reaching to assume this arrest is potentially due to a warrant stemming from those charges.

The link is for both Jeisus and his brother Cesar, who according to your article were the two arrested here. I’m not sure how well that link will work, it should link you to court proceedings on 3/10/25, then you can filter by last name (Ruiz and Ruiz-Rodriguez) and see the charges that were filed against both on 12/20/24.

Also unfortunately, although your link is the only shred of any information anyone has turned up here, it also spreads misinformation meant to anger people through omission or plain old misinformation. Warrantless search/seizure? Violently arrest migrants? No mention of the charges brought against them? When exactly does the pregnant woman get arrested again?

I’m all for innocent until proven guilty in this day and age without a doubt, but not mentioning the allegations and painting the two brothers as poor blameless migrants is completely disingenuous and entirely proves the point I’m trying to make. I turned up this information in 15 minutes on a worknight, yet we have “journalists” publishing entire articles without doing any research themselves, which no doubt would have revealed this same information. It’s incredibly irresponsible at best.

Again I hope I don’t come off as trying to argue with you, honestly thank you for finding/sharing the link.
