Southern California man reportedly arrested, dragged out of car, for filming immigration raid

He yelled out at the federal agents, but remained seated in his van. When the agents spotted Hermosillo filming, they approached him and allegedly said he was blocking the path for an ambulance and that he had to move his van.

Hermosillo said he complied, but accidentally bumped a vehicle behind him when reversing.

That’s when the agents quickly moved in on Hermosillo’s van, opened the car door and demanded that he step outside.

Footage from a bystander showed several agents forcefully removing Hermosillo from the driver’s seat, grabbing him by the neck, upper body and legs, before he was pushed onto the ground and handcuffed. Hermosillo said government officials told him he was under investigation for interfering with federal agents and could face up to six years in jail if convicted.

that trump's going to hold on to his terror squad for dear life because it's the only thing he has that's working for him.

The economy. Down. War with Iran. Even the MAGATs hate the idea.

still polls fairly well with the public. (gag!)
And that is in contrast to pretty much everything else that orange one is doing, or has done.
