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
- we call them pillaging bandits.
- Except the towns are full of people with guns too.

This is different from terrorism...how?
- Because it's state sanctioned.

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.

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.

These pieces of shit deserve cancer. They really do. Slow and miserable cancer.
- No they need to be immediately stopped
- I hope they all get ass cancer.
- Nah they deserve to starve in a small hole in the ground.
- Anything to not have to take care of it yourselves, huh?
  
  Me left, you right. Have a nice day.
  
  How many ice cubes have you crushed so far? What’s your favorite strategy?

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.

If you met a Nazi today would you murder them?
- Proactive self defense
- Wouldn't murder one, but would put their dick in the dirt out of self defense.
- If I could get away with it…..or rather, for legal reasons, “If I Did It”.

... have the Feds not bombed a private residence for a long time?
I know of 1985 but I'm sure this is a more regular occurrence.
There must be a list, but I can't find it on Wiki.
(To clarify if unclear, the explosives used in this case was to damage the door, not to bring down the building.)
- Cops have used explosive door breaching devices for a while now. I haven't turned up a ton of citations, but there's this essay from the Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute, where a seargent discusses the pros and cons of explosive breaching.

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!

The SS and NKVD would be proud of the ICE masked clowns.

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.
- 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..

  Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.
  Malcom X
- 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

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.
- The justification is intimidation.
  
  The intimidation is justification.
- 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.

America is at war with America.
- America is at war with humanity.
- Probably 15 years ago i saw comments about America invading America so trillions could be spent building up the country. Seems like America won't get that part.
- FTFY: ICE terrorists and trump traitors are at war with America.
  
  Ya seriously, those fuckers ain’t America
- Everyone who lives at the home is a U.S. citizen, Ramirez said.
  Yup
- This isn't exclusive to America, This is an international ring.
  
  Right. I'm starting to understand it might not be politics causing problems but the lifestyle and culture of 1st world countries.

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-tipping, I love it.
- 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.
  
  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.

  ICE are lying bastards and their time is up.
  
  I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.
  Same reason the Mafia or the Cartels don't call the police when something goes down.
  If you don't take care of it yourself how will people know not to fuck with you ?
  
  ICE claimed
  Well the one thing we know for certain is that whatever follows these words absolutely, without a doubt, did not happen.
  
  Sounds like a little obstruction so they went militant, you can imagine the blood pressure in the room where they were discussing it
  Ramirez said her boyfriend tried to stop the Jeep, but unintentionally hit the truck.
  
  ICE and police lack any credibility, it's a creative writing exercise.
  
  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.

My friend and I had this awesome ski trip planned for Colorado. We changed our plans last night to go to Canada instead.
- Don't get detained on your way back in.
- Based on how the skiing has been the last few years out here, youre better off going to Whistler anyways. Even without ICE terrorism and its impact on our ability to serve tourists
  
  Honestly interior BC or Alberta is better than Whistler. So many nicer hills without the crowds.
  If you live nearby and that's your only option then great. If you're doing a trip personally I think you should head inland.

ICE terrorists deserve to be drawn and quartered.

I wonder what the breaking point will be? I worry that we're still a long, long way from it.
- I worry that too many people assume the US is special and will successfully reject fascist rule. I think there's a good chance that we're stuck with this for a couple generations.
  
  I agree. It will never be what it was before either.
