Extreme Behavior by ICE and CBP

A Venezuelan asylum seeker was ripped out of his car, handcuffed and quickly taken away in a vehicle in such a manner that a witness described it as a kidnapping and also noticed they left his distraught wife in the middle of the street

Gustavo Garcia Aguilar, who has been a permanent legal U.S. resident since 1997 and traveled internationally for years without any problems, was detained for an entire six months waiting for something from his record to be vacated.

A 16-year-old refugee fleeing gang violence in Ecuador was detained after attending a routine immigration appointment and despite having "special immigration juvenile status"

Peaceful protestors outside a Coast Guard were told by ICE thugs that they would assault them with their vehicles driving through them without stopping and immediately proceeded to target them without giving them time to move out of the way shoving one protestor to the ground in the process. They also used their vehicles to target protesters who were legally walking in a pedestrian crosswalk in an egregious act of thuggery and ran over a man's foot.

Reverend Jorge Bautista was shot in the face by a pepper ball at close range despite simply peacefully protesting in a crowd. It was severe enough for him to be taken to an emergency room where he texted that he was "in a lot of pain"

ICE agents regularly broke Illinois law by changing or hiding their license plates and one agent responded to a bystander filming that "You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day."

A woman merely asked a main detained by ICE if he was ok and was threatened with arrest by an agent during a raid on a car wash in Hamden, CT

U.S. citizen and Chicago resident Warren King was tackled at a neighborhood Walgreens for merely trying to run from the chaotic scene unfolding due to an overwhelming and excessive use of force by ICE agents. A woman from a safe, non-threatening distance tells the officer he is her brother-in-law and a U.S. citizen but the unhinged officer yells at her to "get the f#$k back". ICE also ignored claims from the young man and detained him in their vehicle for hours before releasing him without charges.

A 15-year-old American citizen peacefully protesting excessive use of force by CBP agents was slammed to the ground,cuffed and pressed down so hard he cried out "my neck, my neck" after which the sadistic, evil depraved thug pushed him down even harder. Then he was detained by agents in a federal building garage for five hours without informing his family, stating any charges, or allowing him to call an attorney.

ICE was chasing two people in their white SUV -- not because they were a danger but because they were undocumented. As a result of their complete lack of respect and disregard for the neighborhood, an Uber driver almost got hit by their vehicle and a parked car got damaged when they rammed the vehicle they were chasing.

She was accosted by three thugs cosplaying as Federal immigration agents after finishing a double shift at a bar and so was likely completely exhausted. Nevertheless, the goons zip-tied and questioned her for an hour despite having her passport and other forms of identification. During the overtly racist incident they said she "doesn’t look like" a Greeley (she was adopted) and repeatedly smeared her as a liar.

Lawful U.S. resident and Chicagoan Rueben Antonio Cruz was fined $130 for not having his papers using a law that up until now has been rarely enforced. This was after agents detained him by driving in circles harassing him with interrogation like questions.

A petite 18-year-old Chicagoan woman and legal U.S. resident was violently thrown to the ground and kneed in the neck by a masked ICE agent more than twice her size. He did this despite her yelling out "I'm not resisting" and having three vehicles of agents as backup. She and her two friends were subsequently detained for hours without their parents knowing where they were until they were released -- without charges. The ICE agents apparently were unhappy the group was filming them earlier to hold them accountable-- obstinately for completely and utterly egregious acts exactly like this. After the incident became public, DHS propagandist Tricia McLaughlin smeared the 18-year-old woman as a criminal and laughably claimed the quite obviously federal immigration officers were Chicago PD instead.

U.S. citizen and Portlander Frank Miranda was accosted with excessive force by masked ICE thugs who threatened that "we're gonna put you in cuffs or you're gonna get the dog" after which he was struck from behind, handcuffed, put into an unmarked vehicle and driven to an ICE facility where he was held for several hours before being released without charges.

U.S. Citizen and WGN Chicago employee Debbie Brockman was forced to the ground, handcuffed and battered in a way that exposed her buttocks while walking to a bus top in a northside neighborhood and was detained for seven hours despite no evidence of any wrongdoing which of course she was released without charges.

A woman's car is hit by ICE agents which is clearly their fault. But instead of admitting fault, apologizing and exchanging insurance information as normal Americans would, these fascists violently dragged the woman from her car in an egregiously excessive use of force perhaps triggered by her honking at them for blocking the road which is what civilized society does when you are not in an official marked vehicle. The SUV doesn't turn normally to leave the scene and instead makes an overly wide turn -- perhaps in an attempt to intimidate bystanders filming them from the sidewalk -- which is abnormal for someone continuing straight. So, the woman thinks it's fine to finally pass as so many Americans do every day when someone is driving with their head up their ass. But the incompetent SUV driver veers quickly back into the street without paying attention and sideswipes the woman trying to get by their disrespectful asses.

Reverend David Black, dressed in all black and peacefully protesting with his hands open in a non-threatening, way was shot in the head and body multiple times with pepper balls without any warning in an egregious use of excessive force by a masked ICE fascist

this is hard one we need video, he was targeted in face on ground and above in head with his hands in a passive prayer pose

Los Angeles resident Bayron Rovidio Marin suffered a broken leg during an immigration raid on the car wash he worked at and was handcuffed to a hospital bed for 37 days without any charges and was prevented from making phone calls, seeing family members and having proper access to lawyers. ICE agents were in his room 24 hours a day including during consults with his doctor.

A man dressed in an inflatable frog costume during a peaceful protest against ICE -- who obviously could not pose the slightest threat because of the sheer awkwardness of his satirical outfit -- was pepper sprayed directly in the air intake for the costume posing a severe medical risk

Multiple bystanders near the egregiously targeted Rico Fresh Mexican market of the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago were subjected to a recklessly thrown smoke grenade. Multiple drivers had to stop and a couple with a 2-year-old had to rush to safety. The egregious behavior was severe enough for the Chicago PD to open an investigation.

Chicago Alderwoman Jessie Fuentes was handcuffed by plain-clothed ICE agents and forced out of a hospital for merely challenging the constitutionality of their detainment of an immigrant without a warrant

Several questionable 911 calls were made by ICE agents at a Chicago suburban facility of which the town's police chief characterized as "disturbing" and "ridiculous" and presumably one of the incidents was intentionally done to harass two people from CBS News who were the only ones there filming.

Four reporters\photojournalists for the Chicago news outlet Block Club "were hit with pepper balls by federal officers at the Broadview ICE facility and were at risk of enduring other forms of force, despite standing on public ways and apart from the crowd, wearing visible press credentials, and displaying other visible indications they were there as members of the press.”

Chicago suburban police officers were routinely "verbally abused" by ICE goons at a local facility including -- in one of the most spectacularly outrageous cases of projection and brainwashing imaginable -- one saying to an officer he was "fascist and wasn't doing his job."

U.S. citizen Garcia Venegas was racially profiled and detained on two separate occasions by ICE officers despite producing his REAL ID which they smeared as fake. On one occasion they screamed for him to "get on the fucking ground" and kept him in handcuffs for more than an hour and another incident they detained him and two other lawful U.S. citizens for 20-30 minutes.

U.S. citizen Pertissue Fisher was handcuffed and detained for hours during an ICE raid on a South Shore apartment building in Chicago of which she noted it was the first time a gun was ever put in her face and said that "they just treated us like we were nothing."

Rodrick Johnson, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran retiree who recently went blind and completely innocent of any wrongdoings, had his door kicked in by federal in the middle of the night during an ICE raid on an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago and was detained in a van for hours without a warrant or access to a lawyer

Children were zip-tied and detained in "dark vans" for hours of which some were separated from their parents and others completely naked after an ICE raid on an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago. One agent was observed laughing and said "f#$k them kids" after a neighbor questioned their actions.

Turkish journalist L. Vural Elibol was thrown to the ground by ICE thugs outside an elevator in the Federal Plaza in NYC which was serious enough for him to be taken to the hospital with back and head injuries.

Freelance AP photojournalist Olga Fedorova was shoved to the ground by an ICE thug for merely taking photos of agents detaining two women inside a public elevator at Federal Plaza in NYC.

Photojournalist Dean Moses with amNewYork was grabbed by the arm and shoved by masked ICE agents -- probably triggered for having unimaginably small penises -- after he merely followed them into a public elevator at Federal Plaza in NYC during which they screamed at him to "get the fuck out."

Dan Jones, a resident of an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, had multiple items missing including his mattress and iPad and his clothes and shoes strewn on the floor after agents broke down his door when he was not home with no cause or reason to target him negligently and without the slightest care leaving it wide open and unprotected when they left.

CBS News Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei was assaulted with pepper balls in her open truck window on a public street by a masked ICE agent from around 50 feet away inside their facility's fenceline. The area was quiet and desolate, and she had turned to leave when the pepper ball struck her. White powder covered her face which was on "fire for at least the last 10 minutes or so" according to the victim who also vomited because of it. The town's police chief later announced a "criminal investigation into an allegedly unprovoked attack on a CBS Chicago TV news reporter's vehicle by a chemical munition."

He was shot and killed by a plain clothed ICE agent driving an unmarked car who claimed he was in danger but immediately afterwards described his injuries as "nothing major". Law enforcement experts who examined videos of the incident noted multiple reckless and unprofessional actions taken by the agents that went against standard training practices and contributed to this tragic death.

ICE illegally erected a fence on public property outside their Broadview suburban Chicago facility without a permit that blocked the fire department's access to the road causing a safety hazard and refused for weeks to remove it until the last minute of a court ordered deadline

CBS News Chicago photojournalist George Umbenhauer was hit with a pepper spray ball by ICE agents outside a suburban facility in a display of abjectly gross incompetence or fascist brainwashed anti-American hate for the freedom of press.

Congressional candidate and peaceful protestor Kat Abughazaleh was violently carried and thrown to the pavement by an ICE thug where she landed on her side with a loud thud

A middle-aged woman protestor who was clearly and obviously not a physical threat to ICE was thrown to the ground in an egregiously excessive use of force which they escalated so badly fellow agents had to intervene to stop one of their own from choking her.

U.S. citizen Rafie Shouhed was shoved to the ground in an excessive use of force by a masked ICE thug while trying to engage with them on their fascist raid on his car wash. He was further roughed up outside where agents were quick to throw him on the ground and during the process he describes three agents sitting on his back in a very painful way. And the abjectly evil fascists they are, his pleas about them hurting him were met with "You don't F with ICE." He suffered multiple broken ribs, deep bruising, a gruesome injury to his arm and damage to his brain from being slammed headfirst into the ground. He was detained for hours without his wife knowing where he was despite him yelling that he had proof he was a U.S. citizen in his wallet and five of his employees were also detained without looking at his claims of proof he had that his employees were authorized to be on the job. Mr. Shouhed filed a $50M lawsuit over the excessive use of force by the fascist ICE thugs.

U.S. citizen and Iraq War veteran George Retes was driving to his job as a security guard where he was stopped at an ICE roadblock -- and despite not resisting or posing a threat, even backing up when told to -- ICE thugs broke his window, teargassed and pepper sprayed him and forced him to the ground where two of their degenerates put knees to his neck and back. Despite him having a valid ID, he was detained by ICE fascists for three days in an isolation cell and not allowed to shower despite the exposure to toxic chemicals. Additionally, he was denied access to a lawyer or a hearing with a judge and prevented from making phone calls. His family had no contact with him and no idea where he was and he missed his daughter's third birthday.

A 15-year-old boy with significant speech and hearing disabilities was wrongfully handcuffed, detained and separated from his mother by border patrol agents for several minutes after they aggressively pointed their guns and a taser at him and his mother outside his high school. They ostensibly downplayed the incident as a case of mistaken identity because they are as inept and incompetent as they are thuggish. His mother characterized the aftermath of the traumatic incident as: "He says he has nightmares. He doesn't want to go to school. Every day I have to wake him up, and it's just so hard for him."

U.S. citizens George and Esmeralda Doilez regret voting for Donald Trump after they were racially profiled, detained and searched for 30 minutes by "goons in masks in unmarked vehicles chasing down American citizens just because of the color of their skin." They further ranted on the agents' wearing masks saying, "Who does that? Criminals do that. Robbers and thieves do that. Kidnappers do that."

20-year-old legal U.S. resident and Purdue University student Yeonsoo Go was handcuffed and then detained for several days in a Louisiana facility after a routine hearing to extend her legal Visa

U.S. citizen and high school senior Kenny Laynez was told by Border Patrol agents that "You got no rights here. You're an amigo, brother" during a traffic stop in which he said the occupants were not resisting. However, the agents escalated things tasing one passenger in the stomach causing him to fall and spasm and grabbing another by the hair & neck. A hidden smartphone also recorded one agent saying "They're starting to resist more. We're gonna end up shooting some of them." Which was followed with a reply from another that outrageously said, "Just remember, you can smell that too with a $30,000 bonus."

A permanent US resident with a Green Card for 35 years since he was 5 and working on a PhD researching a vaccine for Lyme disease was detained for a week by CBP without access to an attorney and then detained for more than a month at an ICE facility for a minor marijuana charge back in 2011 that was supposed to have been expunged from his record.

Kids practicing with the esteemed Harlem Baseball Hitting Academy were accosted by ICE goons who harassed them with questions including "Where are you from? Where are your parents from?" and when the coach intervened and reminded the agents of how the Constitution works after recognizing their uniforms an agent glibly responded "Oh, another YouTube lawyer"

Afghani Interpreter Zia S. -- who risked his life for U.S. forces in Afghanistan over a five-year period -- was detained by ICE at a routine immigration appointment after the Trump administration disgracefully revoked his two-year special temporary legal status a year early while he was still in the process of getting a green card. They issued an order to expedite his deportation in a process that would preclude a hearing in immigration court and force him to return to Afghanistan where the threat to his life would be severe. With pressure from his lawyer and two U.S. Senators, the order to expedite his deportation was cancelled but not after three weeks of angst from him and his family. Zia was held at the ICE facility for three months away from his wife and five children. He was not allowed outside once during his detainment which was especially difficult for him as he routinely enjoyed hour long walks in nature with his wife. Most of his time was spent in a two-person room with a small window and he was released only three times a day to visit common spaces and watch TV.

54-year-old Matilde, who sells tamales with a street permit and has lived undocumented in California for 29 years without incident, was traumatized by masked immigration thugs who charged at her without asking questions or producing a warrant. One grabbed her from behind with such considerable force she cried out multiple times that she couldn't breathe. Despite her panicked pleas -- in an act that could only be described as depraved evil -- the agent holding her pulled tighter continuing to apply excessive force until she lost consciousness. When she regained consciousness, the agents left her sitting there and prevented a bystander who identified herself as a nurse from attending to her. And when eventually taken to the hospital after a bystander called for an ambulance, it was found out she suffered a minor heart attack.

Legal U.S. Washington resident Sarah Shaw and her six-year-old son were detained for three weeks in a cramped facility despite having a valid work permit. She drove her eldest children to the international airport in Vancouver, Canada, on a trip to visit their grandparents and immediately came back to the U.S. But she was then detained on a minor technicality of which she mistakenly thought she was allowed to leave the U.S. and it was just a quick stop to accompany her children before returning.
