ICE Agents Arrest Man on Christmas Eve--and Then Steal His Groceries

[douglas9]

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers in Yakima, Washington, spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves.

Four ICE officers in masks and tactical gear can be seen in a video surrounding a man with a car full of food while he loads it into his car. A woman watching the arrest asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of the man’s wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused.

“No, guess he should’ve complied,” an agent said.

The agents then start to divvy up the man’s groceries, as the bystander tells them they had previously detained and deported her husband. “I fucking hate these motherfuckers,” the woman filming says as they drive off—presumably to the nearby Yakima ICE Detention Center.

17. I wish I was surprised by this

Nothing this administration does surprises me anymore. I had no idea how many monsters live among us however.

2. My Goodness. Those ICE Officers are such a class act!

[2naSalit]

4. They seem to be...

More like the ruzzian barbarians in Ukraine every day. I expect they will eventually just shoot everyone around them and take the victims wallets and whatever they have on them and then leave them to bleed to death because that's who these fuckers are.

[chouchou]

7. Amen. Even Hitler at his worse, would give them a box of medals.

This is 2025 ??

3. Hire violent criminals, pay them bounties for any/all arrests, expect violenc and crimes

Trump promotes, enables, pays criminal gangs to act against people in this country.

Impeach the MF and fire the lot of his gangs/henchmen.

5. Ding ding

Just the truth

[snot]

9. Wow; I hadn't heard that.

Do you have a source for it, or is it inferred from ICE agents' behavior?

[Attilatheblond]

12. No background checks on people, they just hired warm bodies willing to be bullies and violate rights.

And they did it right after J6ers got outta jail via Trump. Their antics are the same, bully boy mob violence Capitol Police endured, and it has been reported there are J6ers in ICE. CBP employees have been in service longer, and some are jerks, but they are vetted, trained, supervised. ICE is a band of violent thugs with no accountability.

I don't bookmark every article I read and anybody with internet can do some searches for background.

6. That sounds like armed robbery

8. Welcome to AmerICE.

10. When Dems retake office, we need to hold them accountable

ICE needs plenty of reforms and congressional oversight.

We don't hear much about Proud Boys these days. Or similar groups. Or Jan 6 people released from prison. I have a feeling plenty of fired dirty cops found jobs with ICE.

11. ICE thugs are criminal trash.

[Dave Bowman]

13. These scumbags belong in the slammer. 😡

[Vinca]

14. They can steal the groceries because they know there's no way to identify them. Thugs.

ICE needs to be completely disbanded at this point. You can't trust any of them.

15. How long

Before people have had enough and start punching these assholes’ tickets? I know that’s what the puke Miller wants so he can declare martial law, but then they just might find out they aren’t as insulated and protected as they seem to think they are.

16. They could easily be commen criminals pretending to be ICE.
