Yesterday a video showed up on X with wild claims about ICE abuses in Los Angeles, where they apprehended a man who had a child in the car.
Here’s what was said, and the video that was posted (I edited to fix the orientation):
ICE detain father in unmarked white van—then drive off in his car—with his toddler still in back car seat. One agent threw volleyball into back seat—it bounced hitting the toddler in head.
“There’s a baby in there!” people cry. “They covered up his face! That’s child abuse!”
Witnesses say agents “breached” the private property—physically removing the chains off the gate and throwing them to the ground. About 20 to 50 agents and 10 unmarked vehicles raided the Home Depot in the Cypress Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. #DemsUnited
DHS just responded, pointing out that this man threatened ICE officers with a hammer and threw rocks at them with his child in the car:
ASSAULT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.
During a targeted immigration enforcement operation, a U.S. citizen exited his vehicle WIELDING A HAMMER and THREW ROCKS at law enforcement while he had a child in his car.
He was arrested for assault and during his arrest a pistol was found in his car, that is reported stolen out of the state of New York. The individual has an active warrant for property damage. We refuse to apologize for enforcing the law.
The operation resulted in the arrest of 5 illegal aliens from Mexico and Guatemala who were all breaking our nation’s immigration laws. Their criminal histories include DUI, driving without a license, and previously removal, which is a felony.
The leftist idiots in the video are hysterical, acting as if ICE is causing grave abuses. Turns out there’s nothing to this other than an appropriate law enforcement.
