Masked ICE thugs knocking cell phones away from people recording their brutal abductions

https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/la-county-family-immigration-son-detained-us-citizen/


…. video of the incident shows Martinez, in a blue Walmart vest, appearing to talk to the Customs and Border Patrol agents before one of them pushed him back. In the middle of the exchange, the man who was recording, Oscar Preciado, had his phone knocked out of his hand.

After picking it up to start recording again, Preciado captured the federal agents wrestling Martinez to the ground. Preciado said the agents tried to grab him, too.

"He grabbed me by the neck and put the other hand behind my leg," Preciado said. "Luckily, I was able to get him off of me and kept recording ... I told him I'm recording this and that's when he smacked my hand to get my phone out of my hand."

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen, tried to intervene as federal immigration agents questioned another man in a Walmart parking lot. ICE agents violently swarm him. Now missing.

By law, he has a right to an attorney.

This is how police states operate.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.

Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

This is TRUMP’S AMERICA. THIS IS THE ICE TERROR. FUCK THIS!

Do NOT turn off your cameras.

My question is..if there are millions of gang members that are dangerous and armed, where are they? There has been no evidence of anyone, locals, gang members M13’s involvement in anything.

Apparently they don't have to tell anyone who they arrest who they deport and what crime was committed. There is no oversight with Nazis.

Some clip on types, too. Some record audio too, although someone mentioned there might be legal issues with that in some states. I keep one in my car.
