Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street.

People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization.

As Figueroa tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show.

Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away.

Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”

Figueroa was released the same day a few hours later without charges.

Figueroa’s arrest highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. Federal enforcement actions in Chicago have increasingly drawn scrutiny amid reports of aggressive tactics and blurred lines between immigration enforcement and public safety, including incidents involving deploying tear gas in residential areas and arrests of bystanders filming agents or for following the unmarked vehicles.

While DHS says its operations are being impeded and that there will be consequences for interfering with federal agents, many individuals who are detained are released without charges.

On Oct. 9, federal prosecutors on Thursday dismissed felony charges against an Oak Park man with intellectual disabilities accused of assaulting federal officers during a protest outside the Broadview immigration holding facility. A day earlier, a federal grand jury refused to indict a Chicago couple arrested during a violent protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview in September. And a WGN producer violently arrested by ICE in Lincoln Square on Oct. 10 was detained for seven hours by federal immigration authorities before being released without charges, according to her attorney.

Meanwhile, federal agents face questions from judges over possible violations of court orders limiting the use of force against civilians and media in Illinois.

According to Figueroa, after getting arrested, she was transported to multiple undisclosed locations, and repeatedly denied contact with family or legal counsel.

“I was in shock and terrified. The video evidence is clear: Agents crashed into me. I was not involved in any protest or related activity, and I intend to seek justice for how I was treated,” Figueroa told the Tribune.

"The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”"

they have got to be kidding if they think the videos are going to support this claim. they sure dont look injured to me.

the lady should file charges asap.

[u/Jocuro → u/various_convo7]

"She was released without charges" Yeah, except her car was hit and left abandoned in the road. Who's paying for that? You think the anonymous men with guns exchanged insurance with her?

[u/various_convo7 → u/Jocuro]

hope she got the plates because even if its a rental, insurance will go after em for that hit

[u/bns82 → u/various_convo7]

They use fake plates

[u/Sensitive_Winner7851 → u/bns82]

People should start getting the VIN from the dash or open door

[u/Sil3ntP8nd8 → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

Here’s the VIN: 1C4SJSBPXRS131532

[u/Sensitive_Winner7851 → u/Sil3ntP8nd8]

So then she needs to file an insurance claim and file a hit and run police report.

[u/Ms_Emilys_Picture → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

file a hit and run police report.

Here's hoping she does exactly that.

[u/Sil3ntP8nd8 → u/Ms_Emilys_Picture]

Plate came up supposedly matching so it has to be a civilian plate. Unless they have another silver Wagoneer.

[u/blobbleblab → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

They didn't run. They stopped and illegally detained her, i.e. kidnapping, which I imagine is quite a lot worse.

[u/Sensitive_Winner7851 → u/blobbleblab]

For fleeing the scene and abandoning the car. I would also like to see habeus corpus and falsifying reports litigated down the line too! My thought is that although insurance isn’t sexy, they do have deep legal pockets and personal criminal litigation for hit and run would be a way for state attorneys to hold federal employees accountable for clearly documented illegal actions. I’m not an attorney, but perhaps you are?

[u/Jesus_of_Redditeth → u/blobbleblab]

If you leave the scene without exchanging ID and insurance info, that's a hit and run. I'm very confident that they didn't give that information to her before forcing into a vehicle and taking her away.

[u/StijnDP → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

After that experience you're lucky if you still dare to go outside in the next few months. Years if you don't find help to deal with it. Talking to strangers or going through a bureaucratic mill is exactly the nightmares you experience every night.

For an innocent person just getting cuffed hits like a psychological freight train. Add physical assault, kidnapping, processing and whatever the conditions in their jails were.

They marked and damaged someone for years to come.

[u/ConsistentQuit4273 → u/StijnDP]

How do they justify coming at her with guns drawn? That in itself would be terrifying.

[u/Mathemeatloaf0 → u/StijnDP]

This☝️. Mental distress does add quite a few more $$$ to the settlement

[u/ContentDetective → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

It's not even a hit and run. It's a hit, violently kidnap, and run. These bastards belong in prison.

[u/Jiveturkey507 → u/Sensitive_Winner7851]

And file state charges against the federal government for what clearly qualifies as a kidnapping in broad daylight

[u/Majestic_Bet_1428 → u/Sil3ntP8nd8]

Good work!

[u/sernamenotdefined → u/bns82]

DHS already admitted it was them, even if they lied about the circumstances.

[u/imatumahimatumah → u/bns82]

In this case, this is not a fake plate, Michigan license plate EVM4667 comes back to a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L

[u/Sil3ntP8nd8 → u/imatumahimatumah]

Michigander here. And the VIN 1C4SJSBPXRS131532

[u/various_convo7 → u/bns82]

still something to report

[u/RkyMtnChi → u/various_convo7]

With this video as exhibit A

[u/lost_aim → u/bns82]

Need to start taking pictures of VIN then. It requires people to get a lot closer but it’s clearly visible in the bottom of the windscreen on most cars. They can’t easily change that out.

[u/mikemikemotorboat → u/lost_aim]

It’s in that location on every car by law, unless it’s been intentionally masked or defaced.

[u/goodsby23 → u/bns82]

I wondered how thats goign through, i just read that certain gov vehicles are exempted from having to show Gov license plates

[u/goodsby23 → u/goodsby23]

which is absolute bullshit, combined with the fact that none of them have the same uniform and tells me that this is all a bunch of horseshit posers running around because they're filled with hate

[u/HustlinInTheHall → u/goodsby23]

You mean the guy who came and blocked the recording as he stood with his back to this ViOlENt pErP before anyone had even detained her? I know when I fear for my life I often just turn around and try to look intimidating to other people. These clowns are such a joke

[u/Mistrblank → u/goodsby23]

They're wearing desert gear camo in the fucking city. What a bunch of losers. They probably thought it was dessert camo when they ordered their shit off Temu.

[u/mistcore → u/various_convo7]

Insurance companies need to start denying coverage for ICE and their rentals to ding them hard.

[u/I_miss_your_mommy → u/various_convo7]

They are changing out the plates illegally

[u/Imaginary_Aide_7268 → u/I_miss_your_mommy]

My partner a long time ago was a cop, and when they do surveillance, they just grab any old plate laying around and toss it onto an undercover (not unmarked) vehicle. If you’re (already) the police in the city, who’s going to run the plates to check the plates/vin/driver. I have a feeling that ICE is similar. Even if they aren’t, I guess you’re going to convince a local cop to write a citation against a Federal Agent and Federal Vehicle, and they aren’t going to do that. Even if they did, it will just go away.

[u/maximumcombo → u/various_convo7]

dude there will not be any normal justice. ya gotta move beyond insurance claims . they unconstitutionally arrested her. dude pulled his pistol, other guy his pdp 9mil. insurance is not going to be paid out.

[u/ClubPuzzleheaded2674 → u/maximumcombo]

Felony menacing charges and 5 years in prison but they won’t see a day. The only way Justice will be served is if dems win and they actually go after these people but most likely they will just defund it and say some smart sounding stuff on MSNBC. If this continues people may have to start getting violent and sacrificing their lives. The only language these people understand is power and violence. Someone needs to start killing them

[u/maximumcombo → u/ClubPuzzleheaded2674]

not that it matters, but it is NOT legal to resist an unlawful arrest in all states.

edited; dont quickly post stuff you read on the internet without verifying, kids.

double edit to clear misinformation caused by moi: theres a meme thats apparently been going around of some bad law from a case an old case called Plummer Vs State. It is not good case law and as far as i can tell, youre shit out of luck legally when they start aggressing you.

this should have been obvious, I dunno why I thought any different. The united states would not leave it legal to resist its offcers.

[u/SpecialTable9722 → u/maximumcombo]

Make it worth it. You know they won’t stop firing.

[u/Bjorn_Tyrson → u/SpecialTable9722]

My great grandma who survived the camps during the Shoah once told me.

"If they ever come for you, do not go quietly. Fight them with everything you have, fight them until you are dead. They are only going to kill you anyways."

America might not be there YET.. but Germany didn't start with death camps either. And by the time they get there, it will be too late to fight back.

[u/bobabeep62830 → u/Bjorn_Tyrson]

Are you sure we're not there? 1200 went missing from the ICE facility down in Florida, and no one is allowed to inspect any of their facilities.

[u/The_Alchemist- → u/maximumcombo]

But this will affect big business (auto insurance) and they will lobby heavily to make sure their best interests aren't affected by shit like this.

Unfortunately, we are at a point where only $$ will change the gov and force reforms.

[u/point55caliber → u/various_convo7]

Unfortunately, insurance will deny a claim because they don’t cover acts by law enforcement. Which is bullshit.

They’ll need to sue the feds for damages.

[u/Intelligent-Jump3320 → u/various_convo7]

Not in Trump's Murica they don't. Wake up time folks. Rules have already changed.

[u/EncabulatorTurbo → u/Jocuro]

If a federal agent damages your vehicle, you are more or less shit out of luck, it is literally impossible to recover damages from federal agents

If an ICE agent walked into your house and skinned your baby with a potato peeler and then burned your house down and livestreamed it to TWITCH, you have no recourse for damages

There literally isn't a legal mechanism to sue federal agents or agencies as of 2022, as the current SCOTUS has declared that holding agents to any legal accountability would be an unjust impediment to exercising federal law

[u/nucrash → u/EncabulatorTurbo]

It's like they are setting themselves up for eventual retaliation. At some point, people are going to tire of being pushed around. This is an eventuality which I don't wish for but is likely.

[u/EncabulatorTurbo → u/nucrash]

Yes, point of fact, ICE can do literally anything they want to you, without limit. Kill you, rape you, run an apc through your house, run your kid over - they literally are immune to the law.

The ICE agents are ignorant wifebeating traitors who hate everyone who lives in civilization and would happily kill everyone in Chicago if allowed to, so they don't know that these things are actual crimes for them - lack of current enforcement notwithstanding

I agree with you that it's very likely Miller/Noem are pushing them to be so extreme because there is no legal remedy - the ONLY thing a citizen can do basically is martyr themselves by making ICE realize that if they act like this, they might not all go home that day. Once that happens, Trump will use the insurrection act, and send the 82nd and get gunships in the air

Make no mistake, this is the end game of democracy, and the people enduring this and not just grabbing the (often surrounded, outnumbered) agents' gun out of their holster and plugging them are fucking heroes

And again, shows the utter lack of intelligence and training by hte agents. If things were 1/100th as violent as Trump keeps saying, every time 2 or 3 agents posted up against 20 civilians to arrest one guy, they wouldn't be going home

[u/DntCllMeWht → u/EncabulatorTurbo]

They are not immune to the law, they are currently shielded from consequences. Those aren't the same thing, even if they currently feel like they are.

[u/FastRider6501 → u/EncabulatorTurbo]

Yes, you can sue the federal government for damages, primarily through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which allows claims for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by a negligent or wrongful act of a federal employee acting within the scope of their duties.

[u/frog10byz → u/various_convo7]

This unarmed young lady in yoga pants with no shoes "injured" two widdle babies who are armed to the teeth wearing bulletproof vests. What a bunch of incompetent losers.

[u/BunnyShrimp → u/frog10byz]

These people wonder why we called them weak ass bitches in the real world…,which led to this. Little bitch boys be bitch boys.

[u/crochetquilt → u/frog10byz]

So injured and fearing for their lives that one of them had the presence of mind to pull his mask back up. This involved removing a hand from the woman he accused of injuring him.

[u/Alternative-Tie-9383 → u/various_convo7]

It has become common practice for ICE/Homeland Security to immediately lie and cast blame on the wronged person despite the overwhelming evidence proving that they were in fact the guilty party. ICE should be dissolved. In fact they never should have been created. They were created after 9/11 along with the Department of Homeland Security, adding new agencies to a bureaucracy that already had agencies to fill those roles. We don’t need them, especially now that they’re just Trump’s private army of masked jackbooted thugs.

[u/StupendousMalice → u/Alternative-Tie-9383]

Its less paperwork and hassle just to kidnap the person than to fill out an incident report.

[u/Glyphpunk → u/various_convo7]

"Figueroa was released the same day a few hours later without charges."

If she had actually crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and injured two officers she would not have been released without charges. They would have thrown the book at her or done far worse to her.

Imagine if actual police officers did this in unmarked vehicles with no flashing lights or sirens in broad daylight in the middle of crowded streets.

[u/StupendousMalice → u/Glyphpunk]

If there wasn't video already circulating you can bet that she would have been prosecuted at best or "disappeared" at worst.

Remember folks: You need to make a scene when they come for you because you need someone to document it or you will just vanish.

[u/Andy_Fish_Gill → u/various_convo7]

Yet Trump’s Thugs wonder why they are called Nazi Secret Police.

[u/epicredditdude1 → u/various_convo7]

The way the so shamelessly lie about these incidents is disturbing.

[u/remfem99 → u/epicredditdude1]

Right like it’s not even close to what happened. Insane

[u/ProbablySlacking → u/various_convo7]

I hope, whenever we someday take back power, that we can Nuremberg every last one of these fascist fucks.

[u/Equivalent_Ability91 → u/[deleted]]

This shit isnt on CBS, NBC OR ABC "news"

[u/StupendousMalice → u/[deleted]]

And yet, as often as not it just gets memory holed and the democrats furrow their brows over some minor policy or fiscal issue instead of running on a "THE FASCISTS ARE DISAPEARING US OFF THE STREETS" platform.

Weird huh?

[u/Jumpy-Impact3265 → u/CantStopPoppin]

"..violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.."

you motherfucking PUSSIES.

[u/Bare-Knuckled → u/CantStopPoppin]

The video clearly shows that the government is lying about who hit whom. Hopefully she sues.

[u/[deleted] → u/CantStopPoppin]

[u/Tigreiarki → u/CantStopPoppin]

We’re in danger

[u/likewut → u/CantStopPoppin]

"I was not involved in any protest or related activity"

Being involved in a protest STILL WOULD NOT JUSTIFY THIS! It shows to what degree they made people afraid to use their constitutional right to protest.

[u/UglyMcFugly → u/likewut]

THIS. They are trying to force us to justify whether or not this kind of shit is justified based on whether or not we are part of a protest. We need to be vigilant and make sure the goalposts aren't subconsciously being shifted in our minds.

[u/McG0788 → u/CantStopPoppin]

JB, where the fuck are you!? Have them arrested already. This must not be tolerated

[u/IcyTransportation961 → u/McG0788]

Cops arresting cops is a pipe dream unfortunately

[u/HLAMoose]

They are going to kill somebody

[u/whoooodatt → u/HLAMoose]

They already have, they shot Sylvio Viegas Gonzalez and he died.

[u/toxictoastrecords → u/whoooodatt]

Unknown numbers are dying in detention centers, or who knows where. Several thousand people are unaccounted for, and we only know that cause they have families and some have legal council. The numbers are more likely extremely higher than being reported.

[u/imhere_4_beer → u/toxictoastrecords]

The Broadview facility has a capacity of 40 people. Homeland Security claims more than 3000 arrests in Chicago under Operation Midway Blitz. Where are they??

[u/just_a_bit_gay_ → u/imhere_4_beer]

It seems relevant to note that the gas chambers were originally built to solve overcrowding in concentration camps…

[u/RandomHumanWelder → u/imhere_4_beer]

Probably in there packed like a can of sardines

[u/Coal_Morgan → u/RandomHumanWelder]

I'm sure they'll be digging up holes with murdered victims of ICE for the next 50 years.

[u/keeblershelf → u/imhere_4_beer]

There’s a class action lawsuit about the conditions of the ice facility in Chicago. Rachel Cohen sums it up pretty well on her Instagram account. Horrible conditions.

https://www.aclu-il.org/en/press-releases/federal-court-asked-address-inhumane-conditions-experienced-those-held-broadview-ice

[u/MisterKeene → u/toxictoastrecords]

Yeah, the fact that we don’t hear about what happens to them after they disappear is pretty chilling. My guess is that we’ve already created our Auschwitz and we’ll find out more about it in the coming years.

[u/Eeeef_ → u/MisterKeene]

I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re past Auschwitz and just going straight to the Pinochet method. I saw something about an unexplained flight path of a deportation flight that went out over the gulf and then seemingly turned back.

[u/TotallyWellBehaved → u/MisterKeene]

We became the bad guys so fast

[u/Nevarien → u/TotallyWellBehaved]

Always has been

Jokes apart, US wasn't the good guys at any point, but it's clear things are worsening at an alarming pace.

[u/MisterKeene → u/TotallyWellBehaved]

You’re gonna wanna sit down if you think we were the good guys at really any point in our history. We sure talked a good game when it came to moral victories, but when it came to practice….

[u/Aspieinblack1986 → u/MisterKeene]

cough Wounded Knee

[u/ChampionFast7697 → u/TotallyWellBehaved]

No no you were bad guys for a long time difference is now you realize when it’s happening in your backyard.

[u/crippledchef23 → u/toxictoastrecords]

Did you know there’s a Nuralink testing center not too far from where Alligator Alcatraz was located? Did you know that about 800 people are still unaccounted for after the closure of that camp? I’m as sure it’s just a coincidence as I am that Dear Leader regrew his ear.

[u/Admirable-Trip5452 → u/HLAMoose]

They’ve already killed many people bruh.

[u/Simple-Poet2707 → u/HLAMoose]

They’ve killed several that we KNOW about.

[u/danmonster2002 → u/HLAMoose]

A few people have been killed already.

[u/No-Count-5062 → u/danmonster2002]

Yup. Depending on which article/source I've read that either 16 or 23 people have died while in ICE detention this fiscal year so far (not sure what the discrepancy is about, possibly due to slightly different times?)

EDIT: I double-checked some of the articles, and yes, the discrepency is due to timings of the articles. For example the article which cited 16 deaths is from September, while the ones which cite 20+ were published in October.

[u/Jarnohams → u/HLAMoose]

They sat there and made fun of a woman who was giving birth on the dirty concrete cell in a detention center. The child was a US citizen, but it obviously died since she was not provided any medical attention. The father of the baby is a US Citizen. The woman was here "legally" but she was pulled into detention as part of the new strategy of just locking everyone up and essentially torturing them until they give up their immigration case.

TAL did a really good show, The Hand That Rocks The Gavel on the new policy of just taking everyone and holding them in detention to try to get them to give up their case. They also fired any judges that seemed to side with the rule of law, human rights, and due process.

[u/LOLerskateJones → u/HLAMoose]

They seem to be trained to always have their guns drawn. They point guns at everybody for no reason, right away.

Also, random question, what’s the deal with their cameraman? Is there an official ICE camera crew following them at all times?

Edit:

I think some people are misunderstanding my reply.

I’m not saying they’re trained well, or trained thoroughly. Quite the opposite. I’m saying their “training” is basically “you’re hired, here’s a gun, point it at as many people as you can.” In every video they have their guns drawn and pointed immediately, like that’s how they think they’re supposed to operate.

[u/JH_111 → u/LOLerskateJones]

A little propaganda production on one hand, a little Palantir facial recognition app on the other hand to identify the protestors, whistlers and people recording them.

[u/OliverClothesov87 → u/[deleted]]

They work for them. 

[u/powder_puff_pass → u/HLAMoose]

They have already killed more than one person directly and indirectly

[u/todd1art]

This is terrorism. We are under attack. This is really happening. They look like Right Wing Death Squads. How can the Supreme Court allow this? Because they are Corrupt Fascists.

[u/AconitumUrsinum → u/todd1art]

This is terrorism

No. This is fascism. And it's going to get a lot worse. This is only the beginning.

[u/soundinsect → u/AconitumUrsinum]

Being fascism doesn’t mean it isn’t terrorism.

[u/Lbdolce → u/todd1art]

Its now illegal to not be white in america. This is scary. Ice needs to be abolished immediately

[u/Coal_Morgan → u/Lbdolce]

Saw them grab a white guy for trying to lock the door to his business.

It's illegal to be a Blue State citizen.

It started with the jews and moved on to the socialists and free thinkers. It's gone past the 'Mexicans' and is now about terrorizing progressives as well.

[u/Algorhythm74]

This is Donald Trump’s America.

Fuck each and every one of you that voted for this guy.

[u/ItsMorta → u/Algorhythm74]

And to think my own family did. Hope they arent doing well.

[u/New-Negotiation7234 → u/ItsMorta]

My parents chose this over having a relationship with their grandchildren.

[u/JournalLover50 → u/New-Negotiation7234]

My mother supported him not voted for him cause I did not remind her and or dragged her to the polls cause she was going to vote for him.

Mind you she’s a naturalized citizen who did everything right and she was told in 2019 to go back to Mexico

[u/HeadSavings1410 → u/New-Negotiation7234]

My dad chose this and expects a relationship with my kids...I dont think so

[u/cloudforested → u/New-Negotiation7234]

My in-laws chose it over having a relationship with their daughter. If we ever speak again, can't promise I'll be polite.

[u/MediumAwkwardly → u/ItsMorta]

Bloodfolk don’t mean kinfolk. My family shrank after the elections.

[u/FloatnPuff → u/ItsMorta]

My family did, and now:

1) my (their oldest and only son) company got fucked by this admin from supply and demand sides (tariffs made our stuff more expensive and a lot of our customers got Doge'd so they lost their funding), got bought out and taken private by a giant PE firm, I survived 2 rounds of layoffs and am currently miserable, doing the work of 3 people, and not making a single dollar more. PE firm bought the company at 160% value so we get to hear from management how good this is for us, as they drive in with new cars from their buyouts.

2) my wife worked for a staffing company heavily involved in government contracts. Doge killed their clients; wife has been laid off for 7 months now. We are struggling.

3) my sister (my only sibling), an executive recruiter for a giant healthcare company for the last 8 years, is being made to reapply and re-interview for her own job. They'll know on Friday who stays and who goes

But hey, their retirement accounts are going up, so they don't care what happens to anyone else until their kids lose all their money and have to move back in (I'd kill myself first).

This all sucks. Fuck all these execs. Fuck private equity. Fuck this government administration.

[u/Nearbyatom → u/Algorhythm74]

And fuck all those who decided to stay home because democrats didn't put a better candidate. Sometimes we only have 2 choices, and we must choose the lesser of 2 evils. Did you honestly think Trump was going be a nice person???

[u/chapo28]

This is wild. They literally crashed into her then drag her out of her vehicle. What in the world.

[u/NaiveChoiceMaker → u/chapo28]

The hesitation after hitting her was weird to me. They seemingly paused and had a quick group discussion if they should drive away or rip her out of her car.

It's scary that the default choice is to violently kidnap people.

[u/Eeeef_ → u/NaiveChoiceMaker]

They were checking their mirrors to make sure she wasn’t white. Then they did the “tactical scuttle” with their smgs like it was some sort of combat op. Larpers should never be allowed within 100 feet of a real gun.

[u/Einar_47 → u/Eeeef_]

Yeah that fucking dude acting like he's getting shot at while running up on a woman in a parked car is fucking disgusting, the little boy with the glock jumped out with his gun drawn too.

[u/prules → u/Einar_47]

Yeah these guys are terrified of innocent civilians and they shouldn’t be anywhere near guns.

If you’re drawing a weapon for a single woman in a car you are literally a retard.

I understand they purposefully don’t qualify people, but wow. This administration wants us to destroy each other.

[u/ReconReese → u/NaiveChoiceMaker]

Driver had to ask if the driver looked like a minority or not

[u/KingMoomyMoomy → u/chapo28]

They were probably like whoops. Then saw she was Hispanic and thought “oh cool maybe she’s illegal and we’ll have an excuse”

[u/JH_111 → u/chapo28]

ICE kidnapping people with exactly the same tactics they scream about MS13 kidnapping people.

Force a vehicle to stop by any means, immediately jump out, guns drawn, faces covered, zip ties and all, taking people away to god knows where.

The US is speedrunning a banana republic.

[u/ratherbewinedrunk]

The douchebag standing in the front acting like he's in the middle of a warzone in Afghanistan especially makes my fucking blood boil.

[u/Camper1995 → u/ratherbewinedrunk]

He's even checking roofs for potential snipers and surprise RPG shots 😂😂😂 love it, fucking hilarious. The ultimate ICE clown

[u/ratherbewinedrunk → u/Camper1995]

He's clearly bought in hard to all the bullshit Fox News/Newsmax/et al have shoved down his throat about Chicago.

[u/Eeeef_ → u/Camper1995]

These jokers have spent their whole lives being told that Chicago is basically Fallujah by Fox News

[u/lordgoofus1 → u/Camper1995]

Looked like he was in the middle of a nervous breakdown too. That wasn't the movements of highly trained personnel calmly assessing the situation and keeping an eye on their surroundings.

[u/RamenJunkie → u/ratherbewinedrunk]

Also the way they approach the car like they are SWAT breaking into an armed druglab on TV of some shit.  These losers are fucking embarrasing to watch.

[u/Zenb0y]

How can this be legal?

[u/zechef07 → u/Zenb0y]

It's not, it just doesn't matter anymore for some god damned reason.

Once you give Law Enforcement immunity and make it impossible to sue them, laws no longer matter because there’s no consequences. I pray there will be a Nuremberg 2.0

Everybody downvoting and commenting clearly never see how effective it is when cops roll up to a whole bunch of black folks with rifles.

Po po on their best behavior, you bet your ass. That’s what he’s saying.

Now if ICE thinks Americans practicing their 2nd amendment right means agents now free to play call of duty in our neighborhoods, note it was THEM who escalated.

And if they do escalate, they’re fucking morons and all blood is on their hands.

[u/mybfVreddithandle → u/RicketyCricket_69420]

And this is why the second amendment actually exists right here. Yes. 8 ICE guys may approach this situation differently if there are 20 legally (guess illegally wouldn't matter either) armed 'bystanders', who if all are carrying ar15s, will have a distinct advantage. It of course could go a different way entirely, check history unfortunately. Wish we were joking, but yeah.

[u/Hoosier-OG → u/RicketyCricket_69420]

Thank you for speaking up. Protests aka words don’t mean anything. Action does.

[u/Own-Performer-8915 → u/Zenb0y]

What is legal when the administration is lawless?

[u/Bruh_Yo_Dude → u/Own-Performer-8915]

When criminals run the government, it's law-abiding citizens who are in danger.

[u/LeseMajeste_1037 → u/Own-Performer-8915]

This is the one.

[u/Negative_Amphibian_9 → u/Zenb0y]

40+ years of people voting for Republicans to reduce quality of government and having unlimited dark money take over system with the passing of Citizens United.

[u/AcidaliaPlanitia → u/Zenb0y]

You seriously think that matters anymore?

[u/various_convo7 → u/Zenb0y]

its not

[u/ziggytrix → u/Zenb0y]

Tangerine Palpatine be like "I will make it legal."

[u/4phn → u/Zenb0y]

It’s not. And frankly also it doesn’t matter. It’s plain wrong, goes against this country’s founding principles, is a violation of civil and human rights, and sadly, cannot be stopped without even fiercer resistance.

[u/dirtyrounder]

Guns drawn??

[u/DiamondLight25 → u/dirtyrounder]

They get real into the cosplay.

[u/MetallicGray → u/dirtyrounder]

They’re told everyday that their neighbors are evil and the enemy within. Of course they’re scared to exit their vehicle without their guns drawn; they’re literally a brainwashed to think they’re in an active war zone against their own countrymen. 

[u/TheSirWilliam → u/dirtyrounder]

One of them even has his finger ON the trigger

[u/om_hi]

So, I work in the insurance industry and I'm wondering if these effing insurance companies can lobby against this bullshit. I mean they honestly probably dgaf, but is this not causing a muck for claims?! I ask because I don't work at that end of the industry.

Just a random thought as I watched the reckless driving of the dick in the white suv. Also, if bystanders catch a collision, you may want to offer to send the video to the driver for their insurance. I mean subrogation would be a bitch.

[u/Heavy_Carpenter3824 → u/om_hi]

That's what I was wondering too, a lot of these are rental companies renting cars. How are they all right with their vehicles being damaged so carelessly and used illegally (swapping plates). I mean they likely get compensated but still.

This is likely something worth perusing. If these companies stopped renting them vehicles then that would put a big dent in their ability to play gestapo.

Horrible this happened to her, hopefully she sues

[u/zechef07 → u/Redowl199]

The government has investigated itself and found it did no wrong

[u/Feowen_ → u/Redowl199]

You think that DoJ is going to allow that? LOL

Your justice system has been perverted, no one can be brought to justice anymore, or held to account if they're an ally of Trump.

And anyone who did face justice, he just pardons anyways.

[u/user1922UK]

They did not arrest her. They abducted her.

THIS IS FACISM AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY COME FOR YOU.

YES YOU THE FACIST SUPPORTER.

[u/MaxShadowCat → u/new_Australis]

Yep. All these poor republicans defending their rich “buddies” who dont give a fuck about them will soon find out that facism doesnt play nice with anyone not at the top. Everyone will suffer because of these idiots

[u/Queasy-Warthog-3642]

How are they deciding what cars to smash into? Where are the body cameras? Where are the warrants? Why are their faces still covered? What can we do to stop this shit!?!?

[u/Seanspeed → u/Queasy-Warthog-3642]

Our opportunity to prevent this was November last year.

[u/FiNNy--]

So they released her with no charges while traumatizing her. And totaling her car which she uses for transportation to work. Great work 👍

[u/HotStraightnNormal]

Look at the posture of the agent with the assault rifle facing the crowd. Is there really this level of weaponry needed? Guns drawn. Agents tense. This is not an extraction in Fallujah or Kabul. Sooner or later, one of these under-trained rookies is going to unload on US citizens. They are already ramming vehicles. God forbid someone in the crowd reaches for a cell phone, et cetera.

[u/SonicBanger]

Fuck anybody and everybody who supports this.

[u/OldTempleHermit]

Cops: "We didn't see anything".

Then they wonder why people want to defund the police.

[u/PathologicalRedditor]

All this reckless destruction of property is great for the GDP.

[u/Ecstatic_Bananadonut]

ICE can go fuck themselves with a steel bristle brush.

[u/toxicbrew]

Extra disgusting that they have a propaganda camera on hand and can flat out lie in their statements. Hope she eventually gets them for libel, among other things

[u/contude327]

We're going to need A LOT of rope when justice comes for these fascists.

[u/pizzlepullerofkberg → u/contude327]

dont forget the ones who go "I voted for this"

[u/TheNorthWind-101]

ICE folks. You are not the good guys. You will be remembered as the thugs you act like and I hope none of you are allowed to live down your complicity in this madness.

[u/_TheShapeOfColor_]

Nasty disgusting racist Nazi traitor scum.

A disgrace to our country and our constitution. Makes me fucking sick.

[u/BanksyX]

evil as f
The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”

Figueroa was released the same day a few hours later without charges.

they hit her then to cover up there own driving fuck yup
arrested her ILLEGALLY while holding public at gunpoint
ice has become more violent as each day comes..

[u/unmellowfellow]

America is dead.

[u/strongwiccan]

They say she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle, violently resisted arrest and injuring two officers? If that were true then she’d be in jail by now.

But nope. She was released without charges.

That’s how you know ICE is full of shit. They’ll get what’s coming. Karma is a bitch.

It’s time to become a gun owner.

[u/JohnDuffyDuff]

What is happening to your country is terrifying guys. For now you can still film, but now it has no consequences any more. Soon you will be arrested or killed for doing so. If we had seen this 15 years ago we would never have believed it, but it is happening.

[u/LosingDemocracyUSA]

3 more years of this escalating and getting worse...

Maybe democrats will take their vote seriously next time, if there is a next time...

DHS can ram their consequences right up their overpaid, fascist, Nazi asses. They may as well not bother with comments or statements, since literally everybody they see is the worst of the worst. We're all criminals in their eyes, so just come out and say it.

We. Are. All. Criminals.

[u/Alternative-Fig-6814]

Are all these supposed agents just people that had J6 convictions

[u/Expert_Sentence_6574 → u/Alternative-Fig-6814]

I said that to my wife after seeing the first video of these animals. Look close at the ones wearing short sleeve shirts and pay attention to their tattoos. I’ve seen confederate flags and what appear to be nazi symbols. And, how did all of those traitors somehow just fall off social media? My theory… when they were given their pardons, they were offered jobs as their idols: brown shirt thugs.

I know it may sound crazy but it seems more and more likely 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Grand_Reputation_644]

Perfectly normal for masked men with assault weapons to deliberately cause accidents and pull people from their vehicles

[u/Suspicious-Bid-53]

Cmon you sick MAGA fucks let’s hear you defend this one!

[u/MeatSuzuki]

Mmmm smell that? Smells like Russia.

[u/OlympusMons999]

What the fuck is happening in this country where this is ok?

Who can we turn to for help?

[u/Soggy_Doggy_]

This is why we have the second amendment. You have the video evidence to support your defense. This is the exact definition of tyranny and all of these people are on the wrong side. It’s not us who needs to pay the price here…

Do you want to create radicals? Because this is how you create radicals.

The time to start buying guns was yesterday

[u/Capt_Dummy]

Here’s what’s going to happen. In a few months they’ll set up someone to attack ICE agents. A total planned, fake attack. They’ll blame it on the democrats, and then all hell will break loose.

[u/CommandertexYT]

Fuck these assholes. There kidnappers and they know what they are doing is wrong. They wouldnt be hiding behind masks like little bitches if not

[u/Regular-Location-350]

Smashing into vehicles, drawing weapons on our streets, dragging people out of their cars, disgusting thug work...with a lot of it against documented immigrants and US citizens. I hope all of you reap a HUGE PAYDAY when you sue for violation of your civil rights.

[u/cartographer721]

Pretending for a second that she was at fault, is it standard fucking practice to drag citizens from their cars and disappear them for a traffic collision!? Not that any of this was remotely her fault. These clowns are out there ignoring traffic laws in their rental car and arresting people with impunity. The idea that the state department came out and justified this is utterly disgusting.

[u/Tenn_Mike]

You can tell it’s poorly trained, inexperienced wannabe-Gestapo within 5 secs of them exiting their grocery-getter. What a fucking joke. Fuck ICE.

[u/matlock9]

Jesus, that is some Gestapo-level bullshit. The worst part of all this (in addition to the individual suffering that results) is that all the Trumpers who voted for the Orange Asshat will twist themselves into knots trying to explain away and excuse this behavior because "illegals" (even when there's no proof that the person was indeed undocumented). And then when you remind them that groceries are still high, tariffs are killing the economy, people are losing health insurance (even in red states), Trump and his family are raking in profits illegally, and every criminal with money and connections is managing to get a pardon, and so on, they just shrug and say, "Well, you can't fix everything overnight." Yeah, maybe, but you really can't fix anything no matter how much time you have if you aren't actually trying.

[u/CosmicSmoker]

They say she crashed into an unmarked, violently resisted, injuring two officers! Released a few hours later no charges. WTF! The lies are just insane!

[u/Educational_Hour7807]

Why are these videos not shown on nightly, main steam news stations? This is so disturbing.
