SWAT doesn’t even use plastic explosives when breaching a regular door unless it is a special circumstance. These idiots just showed up and played gravy seals cowardly hiding behind cars for cover, blasting doors open for a fucking minor fender bender! They didn’t even list charges so all kinds of constitutional rights were brazenly violated. But fuck it, they got a blank check on tax payer funds to cosplay being tactical shit heads. They even fucked those tactics up announcing to the entire neighborhood they were coming.
In a statement Friday afternoon, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during course of a law enforcement operation. During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel. Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.”
In which case it is the jurisdiction of the local police to investigate a traffic collision
This is not a CBP case
It’s not going to be long before these people start acting like medieval warriors who invade villages, ransack them, and have their way with it’s people.
They already did in 2017. We had ice raping minors in detention centers
Except the towns are full of people with guns too.
So…Border Patrol is operating more than 100 miles from a land border. Yeah, they’re using the loophole of counting international airports as “borders” afterall. Yay.
Always have been.
This is different from terrorism…how?
Terrorism perpetrated by the state. They brought what looks like 20+ jackbooted thugs to arrest one man. This is meant to terrorize supporters of the anti-ICE movement. I don’t want to get banned for promoting violence against the “federal agents”, specifically assassinations, so I won’t suggest such things here. Not calling for that.
This community is on midwest.social so you’re fine. The Nazi sympathizers that declare any anti-Nazi action “promoting violence” are on lemmy.world.
Good to know!
You are not promoting violence, You are upholding the law of the land.
They are promoting community defense
I am also promoting community defense
If an unannounced person enters your home, I encourage you to use any and all powers available to end their life to protect yours. Anyone that doesn’t want to dodge bullets can knock first. It’s really a pretty straightforward principle.
Easy to say. The thing about violence is that there’s a monopoly and its biggest buyer is the State…

I don’t know what’s more terrifying, the actions of ICE or the faces of the local news anchors as they report on literal fascism in their own city.
If they do this for a simple collision, can you imagine how ICE would react if, while they’re off arresting people, a group tipped over their cars? I mean, such a disturbing event would only take about four or five people, which would be terrible. I hope it never happens, especially more than once.
ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.
I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.
ICE claimed
Well the one thing we know for certain is that whatever follows these words absolutely, without a doubt, did not happen.
ICE also claims Narciso Barranco stood his ground and assaulted officers with a weedwacker when he was clearly fleeing on the video. Their claims are worth as much as the toilet paper square I wiped my ass with this morning.
Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I’d say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.
Don’t undersell your own shit.
At no point does anyone in the story attempt to justify the explosive breach. They were looking for a guy who was in a car accident with feds and let go.
Escalation to “justify” killing him. There probably were too many witnesses with cameras at the car accident.
Nor do they justify the armored personnel carrier… Talk about over the top. Obviously intentionally over the top to intimidate.
And all they ever accomplish when trying to show force is to look like scared little bitches.
The justification is intimidation.
The intimidation is justification.
In case anyone gets suspicious like I was, the domain name seemed… odd to me. I expected something more like losangeles.nbc.com or something.
But I did a WHOIS lookup and confirmed the company that registered it is NBCUniversal, which is the legal name of the company.
I also saw KTLA reporting this, but I didn’t bother to check them. So yeah, seems like real news, for better or worse.
I hate that we need to check these things now on top of all the shit going down
In the US, local news has historically been presented via an “affiliate” model, in which a local company is allowed to air their own programming in a particular region in exchange for a fee. So when you turn to the channel for NBC in los Angeles on the TV, it’s from the national NBC most of the time but for local news it will switch to NBC Los Angeles, which is usually a different company. I would imagine NBC Los Angeles was originally an entirely different company than NBC national that later got bought by them.
Ohh, very cool. I learned a thing. Thank you for sharing!
