https://x.com/TheJFreakinC/status/2008937484181225692BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents once again threaten to illegally arrest a U.S. citizen… for standing on a public sidewalk and filming them.
Yes. Really.
In the video, in Beaverton, Oregon, multiple agents swarm a man who is doing nothing more than observing and recording from a public sidewalk, something that is 100% legal and protected by the First Amendment.
An agent claims they “know who he is” and accuses him of driving erratically and being “a danger to the public.”
Which is rich, coming from an agency with a long history of hitting people with vehicles, assaulting women and children, and “accidentally” firing or dropping loaded firearms. But, even so, they are not police and cannot arrest someone for a traffic violation.
Then the threats start.
“You are interfering with our operations.”
“You could be arrested.”
“We will arrest you.”
Again, the man is standing on a sidewalk. Not blocking anyone. Not touching anyone. Not saying anything beyond asserting his rights.
Another agent jumps in with, “You were following us yesterday.”
Cool story. Still not illegal.
They repeatedly claim he has “interfered with operations,” yet, the only behavior they can actually point to is… observing them. Existing near them. Filming them.
When the man calmly says, “I’m not interfering,” the response is:
“If you continue, you will be in handcuffs.”
Let’s be crystal clear about what that means:
ICE agents are threatening to arrest a U.S. citizen for continuing to legally observe and film them in his own neighborhood.
When the man states the obvious, “I’m not breaking the law and you know it,” the agent completely loses it.
He steps inches from the man’s face, points at him, shoves into his shoulder or chest, and screams, “One more time and I will put you in handcuffs.”
This isn’t law enforcement. This is intimidation.
The man tells him to get off him.
The agent responds, “No, I’ll stand right here, pal. Right here all day,” while continuing to press into him.
The citizen points out the setup perfectly:
“If I touch you, you’re going to arrest me, right?”
Exactly. That’s the game.
That’s when the agent snaps completely, screaming that the man is “worthless” and has “no honor.”
Which… feels like projection.
This video shows exactly what ICE and Border Patrol are doing across the country:
They are trying to scare people into not filming.
They are trying to bully citizens out of exercising their rights.
And when intimidation doesn’t work, they escalate.
Because they know that cameras expose them.
So here’s the takeaway:
Always film.
State your rights calmly.
Keep your hands visible and on your phone.
Narrate everything that’s happening.
They want silence.
They want fear.
They want no witnesses.
Don’t give it to them.
