🛑 Full Video: Long Beach Crowd Turns on ICE, Bullhorn Torta Drags Trash Cans to Block Agents 🛑
This is the full video of yesterday's federal operation in Long Beach, California, where agents detained a man who claims he's a U.S. citizen.
As the arrest went down, local residents got aggressive and had to be pepper sprayed.
Then the torta with the bullhorn started dragging trash cans into the street to block federal agents. Impeding a federal officer is a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 111, punishable by up to 8 years in federal prison.
Activists are already pushing their version of what happened. The full video tells a different story.
Bill Essayli (
@USAttyEssayli), would you like to make a statement on what really went down?
ICE doesn't arrest U.S. citizens for being citizens. If he was detained, there's a reason, and the public deserves to hear it.
🛑 Long Beach Detainee Escapes After "Torta Brigade" Swarms ICE 🛑
ICE agents in Long Beach, California, were taking a woman into custody when the torta brigade showed up to get in their way.
The crowd closed in, the agents got boxed in, and the woman slipped away.
Impeding a federal officer is a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 111, punishable by up to 8 years in federal prison. That law is supposed to mean something.
California is home to about 2.3 million illegal aliens, the most of any state, according to Pew Research. Nationally, FAIR puts the net cost of illegal immigration at more than $150 billion a year. Multiply that by 10x to get a real number for California.
And Mullin, afraid of bad headlines, won't let ICE agents use pepper spray on rioters who refuse to back up.
It's sad. No one should have to work like this.
