I.C.E confronts a US citizen pumping gas "How do I know you are a US citizen?"






They go around harassing people! They TAKE people!

The police chief of Mpls said they get calls from residents about abandoned vehicles left in various locations even in the middle of a street, sometimes with doors open, sometimes with pets inside. The people are just kidnapped!!!


They don't even call the real police about a vehicle they leave behind after they kidnap someone!

And it makes me happy to see others courageously confront them, get in their faces with cameras and make them leave.

2. "Kavanaugh Stop"
Sun Jan 11, 2026, 08:00 AM
Jan 11

A Kavanaugh stop is a law enforcement practice in the United States in which federal agents can stop and detain a person based on their perceived ethnicity, spoken language, and occupation. Kavanaugh stops originated in a September 2025 Supreme Court concurrence by Justice Brett Kavanaugh in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.

The term "Kavanaugh stop" originated in October 2025 in media reporting.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The term was coined by Drexel University School of Law Professor Anil Kalhan who in reference to a later case where a Latino man was detained overnight by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) despite ICE not inquiring about his immigration status, and then releasing him only "once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested", which prompted Professor Kalahan to post on social media in response to a description of the situation "What we might refer to as a 'Kavanaugh stop'."[7]

The video is so quick to be recording. I have heard of ICE observers following these thugs.
That could be the situation here.

Ice and Police do not have the same privileges. How do we know that any of these men are actually any type of authorized officer? Scenes like this remind me of zombie movies.

and he says there is zero coordination with his department. One point is that the Mpls police have zero to do with arresting people for immigration status.

Disregard them completely. I would be like COMPLETE 100% IGNORE them. Just continue doing things like nobody is there. (which is true really cause they are a NOBODY!!)

So no, they must be shamed and shamed and shamed relentlessly.

All that chaos is done to provoke madness and a revolt so the orange clown can invoke the Insurrection Act before the midterms.
