Security footage shows agents setting off explosive device and shattering window of family home in Huntington Park

Federal agents blasted their way into a residential home in Huntington Park, California, on Friday. Security-camera video obtained by the local NBC station showed border patrol agents setting up an explosive device near the door of the house and then detonating it – causing a window to be shattered. Around a dozen armed agents in full tactical gear then charged toward the home.

Jenny Ramirez, who lives in the house with her boyfriend and one-year-old and six-year-old children, told NBC through tears that it was one of the loudest explosions she heard in her life.

“I told them, ‘You guys didn’t have to do this, you scared by son, my baby,’” Ramirez said.

Ramirez said she was not given any warning from the authorities that they wanted to enter her home and that everyone who lives there is a US citizen.

. . .

The agents who raided Ramirez’s home in Huntington Park on Friday also reportedly sent a drone into the house after setting off the explosive device.

The agents told Ramirez that they were searching for her boyfriend, but did not tell her why, according to NBC. Ramirez told the news station that he was involved in a vehicle collision with a truck carrying federal agents last week. She said it was an accident and unintentional.

Worse because the truth is, we are simply unwilling to try and stop it.

By we I include myself, I am saying that we are all either going to launch a massive physical revolt that ends maga and ice and the Nazis on the Supreme Court, etc., or we aren’t

If the fascists get their way, almost all of the misery and death will be borne by the innocent, the unwitting; and the ruling class will inherit the earth (at least the US portion.)

taking this to court? Would it have to be individual cases that will get nowhere? I just don't know what to do but this cannot stand. Mindless RWers support this because among us are many cruel sadistic people.

Hitler won in the US. Who would have seen that coming.

Sue, Sue. Every last one of these pigs needs to be personally sued, along with the federal government, ICE, and Cruella de Noem.

Really there is nothing more to add. The 6 FUCKS on the SC court just think this nazi-shit is the best. They're fucking nazi pigs too. All 6 of 'em.

by the numbers they bring in.

We need to demand that they produce an Arrest Warrant and/or a Search Warrant.
