ICE agents record themselves inventing charges after picking up detainee's phone: report

…

As the agents approached the jail, witness Reid pulled out her cell phone to record the operation, and was immediately ordered to stop, video reviewed by the Journal revealed. She refused, and she was arrested and charged with felony assault and impeding.

However, when agents took Reid’s phone, placed it inside her bag and put the bag in a government vehicle, it continued to record — and captured what Reid characterized as a particularly damning conversation between the arresting agents.

…

“In another part of the recording, agents went back and forth about exactly how Reid, a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital, had assaulted them,” the Journal’s report reads. “First, it was a raised knee, then an elbow. The next day, Reid was accused in a criminal complaint of ‘forcefully’ pushing an agent’s hand against a cement wall.”

Reid’s recording was submitted as evidence in her trial, where three grand juries ultimately declined to indict her. She was also later acquitted after prosecutors reduced the charge to a misdemeanor.

1. I wonder how many times this has happened

3. Read the official press release below.

I’m sure you’re right too.

You can sure get lost in a Louisiana Bayou...

Thing is... that works two ways.

2. CLASSIC Pirro office statement- they basically charged her with NOT getting punched in the face

As Reid tried to impede the transfer, one of the ERO officers pushed her against the wall and told her to stop. Reid continued to struggle and fight with the officer. The FBI agent tried to help the officer control Reid who was flailing her arms and kicking. During Reid's active resistance to being detained, the FBI agent's hand was injured from striking and scraping the cement wall causing lacerations while the FBI agent was assisting ICE ERO officers

4. We cannot allow this to continue.

ICE is poorly screened, trained, and knowledgeable. They seem to be winging it under an overly tough guy facade which escalates quickly due to ego , attitude, and no ability to evaluate or sympathize with their targets (victims). Many times they become instantly hostile with autistic, disabled, fearful people, including children. They have had no sensitivity training and as the result have caused extreme trauma even if the victim is eventually found to be unlawfully detained and released. Tragically, deaths have resulted.
We are hearing that a detention center in Texas is filled with children and many of the girls there are now pregnant so it appears that either ICE is raping those girls or allowing them to be raped by someone else who gains access to them. I think it is reasonable to conclude that boys and young men are being sexually assaulted as well, and all are being detained in inadequate conditions under the threat of terror. Their medical needs are ignored.
These guys may be attracted to become ICE agents because they already have rap sheets and few prospects, but they are also disordered and being put in positions of power is dangerous. There are some who are likely signing up for financial reasons, but then find themselves in a peer group they must get along with. Toxic.
We must not run any agency this way. We must abolish ICE. Many of these guys belong in prisons themselves. We can start over and properly.

7. The brazen sociopathic tendencies...

... of these evil monsters is not a flaw to this regime, it is an attribute that is applauded and encouraged. Just look at the psychotic ghoul running this carnival of cruelty, Stephen Miller. Members of his own family will have nothing to do with him because he's been this way all his life – EVIL down to his DNA.

24. Very apt

14. They don't think so.

Their tough guy facade (and their salaries and blanket legal cover) puts them above all the rest of us.
They must be junked and we must start over.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

23. Pretty much

[Solly Mack]

5. Thugs

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

22. Absolutely

[infullview]

6. ICE agents clearly violated the law.

Local police should arrest them and forced this bullshit rule that indemnifies them from prosecution into a courtroom challenge.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

21. They 100% did

[Oppaloopa]

8. around by 2 ice agents Ive only seen it once A host on MSN referred to it Sunday

[ruet]

10. First Amendment auditors have been documenting this behavior by law enforcement for years.

Yet they are met with derision and hostility. Are there some bad ones? Absolutely. Could you learn something by paying attention to the good ones? Definitely.

11. ABOLISH ICE n/t

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

20. Amen

[cstanleytech]

12. Sounds like grounds for false arrest.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

19. Sounds like it

[enigmania]

13. Scum that delight in harming women and children.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

18. Yep, pretty much sums it up

[Martin Eden]

15. When will the agents be charged for their false reporting?

Also, are such falsifications part of their training?

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

17. Right? They really should be charged. Not holding them accountable would be a sick joke

[Martin Eden]

26. SICK JOKE

THAT is what this has been feeling like for the last 14 months, for the last 17 months since the election, for the last ten friggin years since the sick orange slug captured the Republican Party then the White House. Then Jan 6 happened, and he wasn't thrown in jail, then came back with a vengeance worse than before.

It's just been one big SICK JOKE, right? We're in a long episode of the Twilight Zone and we're getting punked, right? RIGHT??!!!

16. Absolutely disgusting
