1. Good for that gas station! They make me proud. ...n/t

[SheltieLover]

2. Good!

[Cha]

3. Amazing! Good on the Gas Station

Owner Standing up to ICE.

TY

[IronLionZion]

4. Yes! Gas station owners/workers can shut off the pumps when ICE rolls up

they drive gas guzzling SUVs so they won't get very far without gas.

[UTUSN]

5. K&R

[Brother Buzz]

6. Bummer, I didn't actually get to see the walk/crawl of shame as they departed

[Initech]

7. So he's a commander now? WTF.

[mysteryowl]

8. Please take note...the white angry guy yelling get out of the way...

ICE respected him and made efforts to help him leave.

Yet, the white angry guy was NOT on the side of ICE. He yells at ICE to get out of my city!
He is just a random guy and he became a protester in the moment. Yes!!

The owner of Speedway instantly becomes a protester! Yes!!

This is what democracy looks like!

[Gore1FL]

9. #Shutdownthepumps for ice vehicles. nt

[fujiyamasan]

10. Amazing isn't it

How a person at a gas station (not sure if it’s the owner or just an employee) can do the right thing, but corporations like Target and Home Depot just allow ICE to wander around hauling employees away. I don’t think Target even issued a statement condemning what tgeu did to that teen that was a US citizen.

[bamagal62]

21. Target did not issue a statement.

[fujiyamasan]

23. Not surprised

The store is headquartered in the state.

Absolute cowards.

[ALBliberal]

11. This is in marked contrast to Nicole clip (Saboroff?)

Showing Bovino gassing peaceful protesters. F’g coward. This has made my day!

[IcyPeas]

12. Will they get investigated now by the FBI?

and Bovino stands there surrounded by cameras... LOOK AT MEEEEE

[democrank]

13. Yes! Ice out!

Taking a stand….love it!

[angrychair]

14. Suddenly the gas station

Will be selected for an audit and sudden demands for his employment records.

It's just a game of intimidation and violence and apparently Congress is more than happy to keep funding them

[MichMan]

17. All they will need to do is park on the street near the entrances and scare all the other customers away

[Bluetus]

27. If they try that, the proprietor whould call 911

ICE are not police. They have no police powers. They have no authority to enforce any laws other than as pertains to JUDICIAL warrants naming specific people. If they are hanging around intimidating people with their guns and police impersonation costumes, that is a felony assault. Call the real police on them. Demand to press assault charges.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. love it

[msongs]

16. did ice leave. note the guy puts himself directly in front of car trying to leave nt

[OGBuzz]

18. Poor guy.

Do we know which tree Bovine Greg had to go squat next to?

[FakeNoose]

19. I love Minnesota! They are all standing together and facing forward

[punguin54]

20. Emergency shutoff.

Filling stations are required to have an emergency shutoff located outside the building. Just saying!

[creon]

22. Yes.

ICE should not be allowed in any business
Any where

[DevineAli]

24. That's my Speedway!

I’m so proud of the workers there. And my neighbors. It’s a very busy neighborhood with lots of residents. Go Uptown!

[ALBliberal]

28. How cool is that?

[Bluetus]

25. And they should be calling 911 to asist in the apprehension of the masked gunmen

illegally impersonating police officers. ICE is not police. They don't have general police powers. They have no authority to enforce any laws except pertinent to specific JUDICIAL warrants having to do with immigration. By wearing fake police uniforms, they are violating Minnesota Statutes 626.863 and should be arrested on the spot. And by displaying guns in a threatening way, that is a felony assault.

[MichMan]

31. Has the MPD arrested any of them yet?

What makes you think they are going to start now?

[Bluetus]

36. AFAIK, no real police have arrested ANY of these fake ICE police

anywhere in the country. That is exactly my point. Every state has laws about assault and every state has laws about impersonating a police officer. When these goons are acting beyond their remit, they need to be arrested and prosecuted. And that starts by making a 911 call. I have not seen anywhere that anybody has even bothered to call 911 in response to the gang of masked gunmen terrorizing their neighborhoods.

Why not? They all have phones in their hands. It is easy. Open the phone app. Punch in "9" then "1" then another "1".

It starts with us. Make the 911 call. Force the police, Mayor, Governor to make a decision. It does no good to have a judge issue an injunction if nobody calls the police on the goons. If a citizen has suffered an assault, they can demand to press charges.

Then, if the police refuse to act, THIS should be the news. We have to put pressure on cowardly politicians everywhere to stop backing down to Trump.

P.S. Assault is not just physical violence. In every statute I have seen, assault include acting in an intimidating manner that a person can reasonably expect to threaten violence or otherwise restrict their freedom. For example in MN, it is a misdemeanor assault if somebody

(1) commits an act with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or
(2) intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon another.

And in MN, a person is not allowed to possess a firearm if they are convicted of assault, and doing do becomes a gross misdemeanor, which can be one year in prison and a $3000 fine.

What are we waiting for? Are we a society of laws or aren't we?

33. Even if they do nothing, the call is an act of protest

[Bluetus]

37. "Even if they do nothing"?

Please note that assault includes acting in a threatening way. A person can be guilty of assault without touching anybody.

If an ICE agent approaches you on a public sidewalk and asks them if they are a citizen, in a non-threatening way, that is perfectly legal. But nobody has to answer that question. You can simply ignore them and continue n your way.

If they then tell you to stop or else you will be detained, that is an assault if they do not have a judicial warrant naming you specifically.

People should turn on their camera as soon as the agent approaches them (many people do this), and call 911 just as soon as the ICE agent speaks to them. Don't speak to the ICE agent. Tell the 911 operator, "There is a masked man with a gun approaching me and I feel I am being threatened. If he makes any direct threats, I will press charges for assault. Please send a police officer."

That way the assault will be recorded on the 911 system in addition to your phone.

[RockCreek]

38. "Even if they do nothing" refers to the police not acting on the call.

And the police not acting should be a crime in and of itself.

[Jack Valentino]

26. Speedway should give those employees a RAISE for their EXCELLENT public relations move!

[ALBliberal]

29. Is there speedway stock? Well I will at least

Be gassing up there in heavy rotation for our four cars (kids doncha know) going forward!

[MichMan]

32. They are owned by 7-11

[tishaLA]

30. Bovino, that pocket-sized lump, will do anything for attention

He's like whatshisname: if there's a camera, he's ready to perform. His Nazi-inspired coat the other day was a classic example of him begging to be on camera. Just a preening, anarchistic weak little man trying to act like a thug.

[rickford66]

34. The USSC ruled that a business can refuse service to any customer.

A gas station selling gas is no different than a bakery selling cakes to gay couples.

[Attilatheblond]

35. Big news for ICE MEN: We can't stop you YET,

But we do not have to provide services to you. Go bake your own wedding cake, I guess.

[orangecrush]

39. Awesome
