30 taken by ICE Kings Mountain NC, US citizens ordered to turn phones off [View all]

"One employee began livestreaming and posting video on Facebook, showing dozens of employees and some law enforcement officers standing on the factory floor. One officer is seen wearing a vest marked "police." Two others are seen wearing masks and carrying assault-style rifles.

Buckeye employee Eric Pinon told Queen City News that he recorded the raid's initial moments until an agent grabbed his phone and turned it off. "He was like, 'Everybody turn off your phones now. If it's not, you'll be detained," he told the television station."

And I don't buy that this is about "identity theft". Everything that comes from these nazis is a lie.

It's about filling Miller's quota.
