...the agents had demanded to ride along in the ambulance en route to the hospital. The driver replied that without arrest paperwork, they were not permitted to ride along. Agents continued to insist that the vehicle would not be allowed to leave until an officer was permitted to accompany them.
“I repeated again,” the driver said in their report, “that no officer is permitted to ride in the ambulance and that they can meet us at the hospital and that we needed to be let out of the facility. Officers then began walking away from me whenever I spoke. At that point, a group of 5-8 civilian-dressed men walked into the garage and just stared at me. No identification on any of them. I walked back to the ambulance and got into the driver’s seat. I flipped the emergency lights on and put the car into drive. I inched forward slowly out of the garage.”
A man described as being in civilian clothes and a neck-wrap then stepped in front of the vehicle and ordered the ambulance not to leave, according to the report. As more agents amassed about 15 feet in front of the vehicle, the driver assumed they were preparing to escort the ambulance off the property and continued to slowly inch the vehicle forward. But agents continued to obstruct the ambulance’s path. As of 9:39, a dispatch report said there were “50-60 fed agents completely blocking the road.”
At this point, the crew member in the passenger’s seat exited the vehicle to attempt to reason with the officers. After putting the vehicle into park, the driver began to exit as well. They said that as they opened the side door, “I looked up and suddenly the entire group of officers… were crowded around the open car door, some of them leaning forward towards me, inches from my face.”
The driver recalls that an agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner and began viciously yelling in my face, stating, ‘DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU, I WILL ARREST YOU RIGHT NOW.”
This shit is just a powder keg waiting to go off. All it's going to take is one person to decide they've had enough of this in a situation like this and just floor it and run those assholes over and the whole country is going to explode. It's just a matter of time.
Exactly as Stephen Miller planned.
Yeah, I'm convinced they are actively trying to get some ICE killed so they can take the kid gloves off and go full occupying force.
I hope people at the No King's Protest will all understand escalation is their goal, of course there's a chance Yam Tits will make a royal decree that they're all to be arrested to spark the powder keg. Which will happen cause Wormtongue, I mean Miller, says so cause evidently everything pro democracy is an insurrection in the US now.
They want a Reichstag fire.
Meanwhile it is a regular occurrence for right-wing dipshits to run their trucks through crowds of protestors and get away with little to no consequences. They end up being classified as "road-rage" incidents rather than the politically motivated acts of terrorism that they are.
That’s the goal. That’s what PeeWee German wants.
Yeah I can't believe so many are fighting Trump by not fighting in this way. Genuinely impressed with my countrymen.
Yep, meanwhile on Lemmy we have people who don't seem to understand what's going on posting shit like "You all need to fight back! I thought you had guns to protect against situations like this!" The restraint people are showing by not doing that is frankly unbelievable.
Well, whoever claps a ice agent at a protest will be condemning thousands maybe millions to die. And it will cause a ripple effect that could lead to more violence all over the world.
I'm surprised America doesn't have suicide bombers.

Sometimes.
That the silver lining to our ease of obtaining firearms.
we have domestic terrorists who try to bomb things and get away with it.
they fully expect someone to shoot or kill and ICE degenerate, so trump can use more aggressive moves. also its a nice continious distraction from the epstein files. All this sudden amount of ice activity happened when they are on the verge of releasing those files.
