Part of statement from the woman in scrubs dragged from car by ICE agents:

From the very beginning of the encounter, there was clear intimidation. To clarify, I did roll down my window the moment they pulled me over, and any claim saying that I refused to do so is completely false. In the video of the incident, you can clearly see my windows rolled down as they opened my door, which further proves that I complied from the start. Before I could even reach for my driver’s license, the individuals surrounding my vehicle threatened to break my window, creating fear and pressure instead of allowing me a moment to comply. Their tone and actions made it extremely difficult to remain calm or feel safe.

During the encounter, the individuals who stopped me unlocked my car door without my consent, dragged me out of my vehicle aggressively, snatched my phone from my hand, and handcuffed me. They placed me inside their car, and while I was restrained, I watched them search through my personal belongings—including my purse—without my consent. I know I have the right to not consent to a search, yet my rights were not respected.

Being surrounded by masked, unidentified men was terrifying. I have seen many incidents online of people impersonating law enforcement, and in that moment, I panicked. My body began shaking, and I went into severe anxiety and possibly a panic attack, genuinely afraid for my safety. This incident was especially distressing because it was the third time I had been stopped in the same area for what they called an “immigration inspection.” I explained this history to them and clearly repeated that I am a U.S. citizen. After they forcibly removed me, restrained me, and searched my belongings, they eventually verified that I am, in fact, a U.S. citizen, and only then did they hand my license back to me before releasing me.

there'll be plenty of those who will flip on their colleagues for a better plea deal once prosecutions begin.

And the only way is to prosecute every single ICE agent. Since they wear masks, it’s the only method for accountability. And every single one goes to prison for life.

But I also know that any Democrat in office or running for office that campaigns on abolishing ICE or holding them criminally accountable will be branded as "pro illegal immigration" by Republicans.

I've also come to realize that SCOTUS will never hold an Republican accountable. They will subvert any attempts to hold anyone accountable that is also part of the Republican cult.

I think the only way it will happen is when an ice agent attacks a local police officer trying to trying to stop an illegal action.

calmly directing traffic and watching while these goons assaulted this young woman in broad daylight, for doing absolutely nothing, and failing to protect her. This is an absolute outrage!

I'm sure there are plans for them that go beyond immigration. And I can't believe that masks are allowed. No badge numbers, no names, no faces. No accountability. Unamerican. If you're afraid to show your face, quit the job. If you're doing things that make you think people will hate you, quit the job. If you're afraid of people finding out who you are, quit the job.

Since there's no place in the entire state of Florida that's not within 100 miles of the coast (the border), these goons can legally stop anyone in this state, detain them, demand documents and proof of citizenship, and brutalize them in the process.
